Name: Abysa Nickname: None Age: 200 (Years?) Sex: [REDACTED] Race: Eyeless Demon Sexual Orientation: Homosexual Socioeconomic level as a child: Hell Class Socioeconomic level as an adult: Upper-Hell Class Birth date: Emerged during the Underworld New Year Birth place: Hell/The Underworld Current residence: Temple of the High Priests, Hell Occupation: Sacred Lover of the Demon Lords Title/Rank: High Priest-Betrothed Hobbies/Pastimes: Traveling, Mortal-Watching, Swimming/Bathing, Goofing Off Talents/Skills/Powers: Psychic mastery (telepathy, telekinesis, empathy, able to enter dreams/mindscapes), healing (dark and neutral-aligned), invisibility, teleportation, magicked barriers (dark aligned), able to bestow blessings through the proper 'ritual'. Super good at these 'rituals'. Can commune with his religion's deities, the 7 Demon Lords.
Past History
Hometown: Nursery Hive 50, Hell First Memory: Being held by his caretakers as they coo over him, remembering their colourful robes against a drab hellscape. Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Learning the tragic history of his people through lecture and recorded texts/illustrations. Why/How? This is his first knowledge of the upper realms, namely the Mortal Realm, home to humans, elves, and so on, but also of Paradise above it, home to Heavenly Ones always in opposition to Demonkind. Important, as Abysa is of an era following a massive war, learning that his people are cursed, and that only small populations of Eyeless Demons remain, remnants of a formerly prospering Dark Kingdom. He is taught the lesson that Light will always triumph over Dark, and that mortals will always prevail against demonkind. It is his first brush with deep, existential fear. Other memories/events that still affects him/her and why/how: Being taught about his predecessor, the previous High Priest Terevra, who was grandiose, charismatic, beautiful, ambitious and powerful. Abysa finds himself under the shadow of such an influential figure, with the masses unwilling to accept him as a successor, and even the Demon Lords themselves reluctant to take another Sacred Lover after Terevra's unfortunate death. Past failures s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about and why: Failed in a huge way that resulted in his death and a Lord's death. Even as immortal beings it was just a horrible time all-around. Biggest role model: Unsurprising, his Caregivers while living at the Nursery. Why? The amount of planning, resourcefulness, compassion and intellect that goes into maintaining what is essentially a baby factory/DNA storage facility is incredible work, especially since much of the technology of that age has been destroyed. Also, Abysa does not know his parent donors, so they were also his family. Biggest challenge from childhood: Trying to find his place in demon society was difficult at first. He had no particular ambitions or desires, and is still unusually unagressive and mild for a demon. Compared to other children from the same generation, he seemed to be the 'runt'.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 8'2" OR 250ish centimetres Weight: 240 lbs. or 180ish kilograms Posture: Upright posture. Quite proper. Build: A sort of generic, idealized 'thin' build. Skin: Cool grey, often blushes or bruises bluishly. Hair: His body is entirely hairless, but he does have two slightly-malleable horns that sweep back from his brow. Eyes: None (He is an Eyeless Demon, you know) Describe their smile: A soft and cheerful smile that can curl into a more mischevious smirk, or widen into a toothy grin that bares his sharp teeth. Tattoos/Scars? In place of an upper half of a face, his species instead have a flat plane that bears natural markings that differ for each individual. Markings can change gradually and become more elaborate with time. Glasses/Contacts? No need for those, but blindfolds and headwraps are common traditional clothing items. Left/Right handed? Ambi-dextrous. Abysa will sometimes switch between right and left, or have trouble picking a hand when using an item for the first time. Distinguishing features: In addition to being tall, his body has elongated proportions, with a long neck, long limbs and digits, and so on. Also, he has a tail! Also, his feet have three toes. Who does s/he take after; mother or father? Abysa knows neither parent, but expresses a harmonious balance between their traits. Style (Elegant, shabby, etc): It is rare for him to request or acquire new clothes, often wearing current vestements until they are faded and tattered from travel and time. In ideal condition, he has a preference for simplicity and elegant, flowing styles. How does s/he dress or what do they typically wear? Abysa is nearly always seen in some form of demon priest's attire. Thin robes layered over each other, with a long underskirt and a hooded capelet are the common style. Colours are generally dark purples, blues, greens, and greys with bright red, silver or purple accents. Other outfits one might find in their wardrobe: He might be in possession of some more sultry attire, but such items would be for special occassions and rituals. Jewelry: By default, he does not wear any jewelry. He will wear heaps of precious metals, bone and jewels for traditional functions only. Other accessories: At most, one might see him with a grimoire for study, or a simple cloth or leather pack for carrying medicine and reagents. Still. he IS getting rather fond of a plastic pink ball-point pen that has glitter water in a tube inside. Weapons: None. Health: He is in good health, sometimes in health so good, he can only be under some sort of positive enchantment or blessing. Hygiene: While not very intent on 'prettying up', he keeps good hygiene. He takes baths often, washes his clothes regularly, is sure to clean his teeth, and his nails are maintained regularly. Physical Flaws: Back home, he is known for being quite plain-looking. Perhaps not flawed so much as not interested in being hardy and physically fit as he COULD be. Physical Qualities: His skin is thicker than human skin, and pigmentation is more opaque. He bleeds black blood, but when dried or thinned appears to be a wine-red hue.
