Character Name: Kieran Thorn
Age: 23 (Appearance) About 450-550 (Actual)
Gender: Male
Birthplace:
Race: Demon
Physical Appearance (Photo or description):
Good, Evil, or Neutral: Neutral for the most part. Tends to generally be rather good otherwise given his position/race, he's never done anything outright evil. More of an observer and occasional 'meddler'.
Strengths: Rational, observant, careful, possesses knowledge of the 'mortal' plane, a bit of a quick study.
He could probably take a shotgun round or two in the chest and stay standing easy. Though taking a few shots to the chest repeatedly has to at least sting.
Weaknesses: Does not trust easily, slow to open up, often prefers to go with his own plan versus another person's, sometimes doesn't read the mood correctly.
Demons have weaknesses, naturally. Even the most powerful are repelled by holy water to some degree, even if it only stings. Kieran has been around long enough that while the slightest splash won't drop him to his knees, but it will repel him by instinct. Larger doses/amounts can leave severe burns on the skin that take a varying time to heal depending upon the demon in question. Sage makes his nose twitch, but it doesn't effect a demon like it does a spirit. One of the few easily accessed materials that wound demons is silver, and it is favored by both hunters and angels, but some among the superstitious may also keep silver objects within reach. It causes the same burning as holy water, but also brings intense pain and is one of the few easily obtained ways to end a demon's life.
Holy places, objects or idols within range dampen a demon's natural strength. Some have varying degrees of success being around them, but by nature, they will try to avoid them.
Prayer or rituals, or especially strong magic circles or protection spells can stop or entrap him, even physically wound him, but such rituals are hard to come by. He is a strong demon, and has built a strong resistance to common parlor tricks that many may try to use, but he is by no means invincible. There are plenty of ways, both through magical means and magical objects, to hurt, capture and kill demons all the same.
His largest weakness, one that many demons and other intelligent supernatural creatures find strange, even laughable if they learn of it, is Kaiya. While Kieran has never been one to care about anyone but himself, as he grows closer to her, a waif of a human whose life is a mere breath to his own, it becomes terrifyingly clear that he is protective of her, and this could be used for ill if he were to be riled up.
Weapon Of Choice (Within reason): Nails, magic, sometimes guns.
Abilities:
Strong, fast, rarely tired and possessing senses far beyond mortals, demons, the fallen breed of angels, possess basic superhuman traits they share amongst each other that grow stronger as they age. Demons can also possess special traits and abilities that manifest only to them, or that they conjure into being as they age and grow more powerful. Kieran himself has always had a talent for control over fire, able to manipulate existing flames or create new ones.
While many demons do possess wings, Kieran among them, rarely are they actually used for their intended function. Demons (and angels) while loathe to admit it, are dramatic creatures, and often these appendages are only seen when they finally reveal their nature to unsuspecting humans.
Personality:
Whether it's a direct mocking personality trait from heaven or hell, or all demons just have an inherent requirement for such, Kieran has always been very brooding and quiet. He mostly keeps to himself, but does have the social skills to 'survive' encounters with others, though they may find him abrasive due to his sarcasm and bluntness.
While he does have a seductive side, and non-supernaturals may find something inherently alluring about him without really knowing what, Kieran does not often use his unnatural wiles to produce results in his favor. He finds fraternizing with other demons and other supernatural beings a waste of time, and humans to be finite creatures struggling pointlessly, though regardless, he is all the same fascinated by what they can accomplish in their short lives.
History:
The product of a powerful succubus and a high ranking demon, Kieran spent the first fifty years of his life in the demon planes, never setting foot into the human realm until his fifty-first year of life. He found it to be lackluster, almost gray in color compared to the menagerie that could be found in the many realms of the supernatural. In the following decades, he visited the realm with increasing frequency, becoming curious about the beings with the fast-burning lives that lived there.
All the same, he preferred being in familiar territory, always returning to the demon realms after not too long. It was not uncommon for demons to visit the mortal plane, nor was it uncommon for any supernatural being to do so. Often on jaunts he would sense or even make contact with others of his kind, unaware hybrids, and other breeds of supernatural folk, but always he kept his distance. Kieran was never a messenger, making it his mission to inform someone when their blood was mixed with that of the supernatural.
Power struggles were common in all of the realms, and the demon realm was no exception. Kieran eventually found himself in the middle of one that he really had wanted no part of, especially when he had no idea of the identity of his father to begin with, only that his blood had been pure and powerful. The demon realms became hazardous and tedious to move through, and he soon found himself taking up residence in a town in the mortal realm, waiting for the struggle to die down.
Age: 23 (Appearance) About 450-550 (Actual)
Gender: Male
Birthplace:
Race: Demon
Physical Appearance (Photo or description):
Technically has two appearances, a human 'disguise' and his actual demon appearance.
Human: Sans wings from the above, eyes feel kind of strange when you look at them for too long, but most people shrug it off unless they've dealt with a demon before or know what to look for. Human form actually looks more like second picture.
Demon: Wings (manifested mostly for show and shock factor), horns (I need to actually find a good example), fangs, longer nails, spoopy glowy, mystical eyes.
