A quest about a demon and their escapades in the moral realms.

You are a demon, a concept given thought and agency by the whims of magic and the idle desires of mortal souls. Common wisdom says that all demons are evil and treacherous entities, but evil comes in many shapes and many forms, most of them mortal. You're merely one actor among many, offering power and aid in the exchange for the mortal souls upon which you subside. That the commoners reject your gifts as infestation, and decry your sacrifices as evil, is their own problem. You certainly see no more evil in devouring a dozen peasants souls, than in spending hundreds of their lives to slay the beast you so summon.

Your demonic status guarantees your near immortality. If you are to be slain by upstart heroes barging into your tower of evil, it is unlikely to be your final. Even banished from the mortal realm, you can return once more, more careful and more powerfull.

Now, who are you :

Background: In what shape do you seek to conquer the mortal realms?

[X][Background]Artifact : A mere glimmer of your power has been bound into an artifact, desired by unknowing mortal men. Through it you can whisper into the minds of it's wielder, but little more. On the other hand, it's destruction would be little more than an inconvenience.

[X][Background] Beast : A shard of your power has been bound into a mighty beast, turning the already powerful beast into a monstrous being with enormous strength. Your control of the beast is limited by it's own primitive brain. Destruction of the beast would be a minor setback.

[X][Background] Creature : With some effort, you can possess an intelligent creature, channeling your power through it fully. These smaller creatures do not have the awesome power of giant beasts, but their weaker minds and bodies allow you to mold their bodies to your presence, manifesting your power through them without much trouble. The direct link does mean that there will be considerable lash back if you fail.

[X][Background] Direct Presence : You can manifest your own form directly on the world of mortals, allowing you to deploy your powers without restraint. This is not without risk however, as your power is directly exposed in this form. In fact, this is the only way in which you can be truly killed, though it's unlikely that anyone in the mortal realm would be strong enough to kill you before you can flee.

Skills : Though you are still weak, you are not without some power. What powers do you hold now, that allowed you to escape the demonic realms?

---------------------

Current form : Artefact
Description : A silver chain long enough to be worn as a necklace. The engravings on the chains themselves tell of stories long past, and things that might yet be. Things fantastical and mundane each link separate, but related. As each one tells the story of power in some form or another.

Powers : ???



-----------------

The first person to take your artefact, and the one currently in possession of it. An apprentice of a now deceased witch, wracked by uncertainty.

Short, lean and with a haunted look in her eyes. Her dark hair is crudely tied back in a ponytail, revealing bright green eyes, and she bears the tanned skin of someone who spends a lot of time traveling without benefit of shade and shelter, buried within the elder witch's oversized and inexpertly modified hand me downs.

Must you? Not even one of the less important characters, goin full on 'Sauron' right out of the gate? Might as well call the character 'Satan' and be done with it.

And here I assumed they wanted to be evil Santa Claus.

In any case, a name is just a name. It's not changing anything.

That's true. It just bugs me, personally, and while it is a largely personal dislike to so blatantly lift a name from popular media, this is both a public forum and a public quest. I'm entirely allowed to express my annoyance at it.
In any case, a name is just a name. It's not changing anything.
It does, though, change the context by which the character is viewed; if you name a character Link and make him wear green, comparisons inevitably arise to a certain mostly-silent green clad protagonist.
Names aren't just a convenient label, which is why they're so important.

At the same time, though, it is just a name. Hence my vote for 'Kevin' but dramatic.

OOC: Hear me out. The creature manifestation ability seems to synchronize well with the Charmer of Hearts. We can use Creature to mold their bodies and with our charm we can mold their minds. Admittedly, the limited manifestation may prevent us from gaining notoriety for our 'real' self, but if we charm and manifest right, we could create a cult of previous hosts to serve us. Who needs notoriety from an uncaring populace when you can have demon-assisted servants?

Not sure what you plan to do? I'm just going to pick whatever option ends up getting the most votes.
Exactly! I want to make my own suggestion, but without any back up votes, I would prefer to support the K'ven idea in order to prevent faux Sauron from being the victor.


You get what I'm saying?

Changing my vote. This seems like an interesting enough concept.

I liked the creature aspect. Charmer of hearts is more debatable in an ideal world. I would go for twister of fate. So due to the fact I can I will.

@10ebbor10 if we chose Direct Presence, how will we look? Human, or like some kind of balor?

Edit: Sorry for the double post. I didn't notice that I was the last one to post.
