† The Mundane

Profile

Alias: Over the years, Moloch has acquired the name “Cain Trumen.”  Where and why exactly he uses that name is lost even to him, but he’s been using it for quite some time.

But for the sake of being cool, we’ll put the meaning of the name here. “Cain” is a bastardized word, shortened from “Canaanites” who are responsible for starting the spiritual rights of sacrificing children in Moloch’s name in Bible days. Trumen is basically just what it sounds like. “True Man” or “loyal”.

Demonic Identity: Moloch sadly fell from grace long time past. He was once the Angel of Spiritual Sacrifice and a respected figure of the Pontiff’s Wing who oversaw many important spiritual rituals at that. Now he’s just an obsessive child stalking cake eating quiet fallen angel.

Place in the Spheres: Cain WOULD be just a deadbeat, but actually, he works in a little coffee house about a block from the flat he jacked from some poor soul. He busses tables and makes people their latte and whatnot all while he nicks pieces of cake, pie, and tart to satisfy his newly re-acquired sweet tooth and sugar filled veins. He also tends to frequent walks by places that young’uns would be around, such as parks and schools.

Age: Looking to be about his late twenties to early thirties, Moloch is actually way older than your mom.

Birthdate/Astrology: November 11th, making him a Scorpio, with Aries moon, Scorpio rising. November is the 11th month and I Kings is the 11th book of the Bible, which in chapter 11 *hinthint*, Solomon supposedly builds not only a temple to God, but one to Moloch for sacrificing. Mmm…yes.

 

Likes: Cakes/sweets: Reason number one for his current employment. Those sweet little morsels with gobs of buttercream frosting and marzipan are not only pleasing to the eye, but to the taste buds. Even if they aren’t the prettiest things to come out of the bakery, Moloch would still devour them with much appreciation and vigor. There’s just something about sugar, and Moloch is hooked in a bad way.

Tips: Moloch loves tips. He really feels he’s done something right if someone is willing to pay him a little extra for what he’s done. Nothing makes him happier than tips. Granted, he also knows the difference between a good tip and a bum one, so he will be the type to gripe and remember them should they leave him a bad one. Come back and he has to slip something nasty in their drink the next time around.

Children: Obsessive pretty much hits the nail on the head. To him, children have twisted to be the greatest form of innocence and purity. He just wants to find some sort of way to bottle their essence and use it all for himself, as they really give him a great joy and almost a sense of peace. He very much enjoys interacting with children and will play with them in a heartbeat. He just gets a sort of buzz when around kids, like an addiction he just can’t kick. It’s not because of their bubbly cuteness either. He just knows what kind of a high he gets when he watches them burn. To him, it’s more like one awesome orgasm, so he gets this feeling of euphoria when around them. No really, he’s one sick bastard, yo.

Toys: Carrying over from his obsessive nature with children, Moloch loves to be completely engrossed with toys. He has stuffed his flat with such items as Legos, remote control cars, video/board games, action figures with karate chop features and much much more. He is truly entertained by Hi Ho Cherry-O and couldn’t live without his Easy Bake Oven. It doesn’t take much to entertain him, and his favorite toys seem to be between the 3-10 year old range. Those are the coolest ones with the lights and sounds. It’s pretty bad in that living space of his, since every single free space is no longer free, covered in some sort of plaything. Some things even pinned or stapled to the walls, that can be at any rate. Frightening, really. Looks like at least 5 daycare rooms have been upended in his tiny one person flat.

Dislikes: Fire: Fire places, gas stoves, even a lighter. Moloch will shudder and back away to a safe distance. Ever since his flaming fall, the man has been a bit wary of burning, and with good reason. That mofo hurt like a bitch. He’s gotten better with time, but still just flat out doesn’t like open flames, and would rather be somewhere else while the blaze is a burnin.

Old people: The older you are, the more tainted you become, he thinks. Kindly old people? HA! They’re all bastards who have long since lost not only their youth but their innocence. They aren’t even worth his attention most of the time. Not only that, but most of the old people he’s met have been crotchety and mean. Screw them, their time is nearing its end anyway.

Cars and the Underground: They just go too fast. Not only that, but the Underground is just that. Underground. In a tube. UNDERGROUND~! Moloch would rather walk. Besides, if he needed to get someplace in an instant, he could just pop on over with a little teleportation. He wouldn’t care if all the candies and children in the world were down there, it’s just not pop’n for him.

Veggies: Just like a kid, Moloch hates to eat his vegetables. Carrots are a maybe, green beans are a no, and don’t even get into broccoli. He’d be the kind of child who would have hidden them in the napkin, or tried to feed them to the family dog. Now as a “responsible adult” he just will blatantly leave them on his plate and bite someone’s head off should they suggest he try it.

Hobbies: Baking: His kitchen is disastrous, with dirty bowls and mixer equipment, flour and sugar practically everywhere. He does get the practice and all the sweets he cares to make, but he still has the problem of cleaning up after himself. He’ll only do it if he needs to use that part of the kitchen or a particular bowl again. He also gets plenty of practice at work as well, though his decorating sense is not exactly his strong point, he only bakes the sweets and is allowed to frost the simplest of cupcakes, provided he doesn’t eat them all again.

Playing: He says it helps him understand children better if he can succumb to their level of play. In all seriousness, it’s just fun, and he always forgets why he’s doing it when he’s doing it. Moloch will just totally lose himself in the process. He’s constantly playing, even while at work. He’ll bring his new toys with him to use while on shift, mostly for the amusement of the annoyance of his co-workers.

Walking: It’s just what he does to pass the time. He doesn’t use anything that goes faster than his own two feet, and likes to take the time to think while taking that stroll. Besides, his walks usually bring him by some great parts, usually parks and other places that young ones like to gather and populate.

Aspirations/Dreams: First off, Moloch wants R E S P E C T, damnit. He may be quiet and therefore, seemingly not social, but come on. Just a little bit. This is something that’ll make him speak up, even shout about. He DOES know what he’s talking about from time to time. Along with respect, he’d like to have rank and responsibility like he once did back in the days of the Holy War. He wasn’t the most powerful being, shards no, but he certainly wasn’t a plebe. People listened to him, and he feels like what he has now is just not enough. He’s also working toward the greater plan of getting rid of children everywhere. Sure he’s obsessed, and he loves them, but really deep deep down, it’s more of a loves to hate them. wrHe’s jealous. He’s disgusted. He loathes them. But really, he just likes the thrill of the hunt, and hasn’t been very serious about accomplishing this goal.

NPCs

Sergeant look! A sleeping person!

History

This is where you tell us your character's own personal story. This is probably going to be the second longest portion of your application unless your character has had a really boring life X3. Start when they were born (or possibly before, if that's pertinent) and go up to the present day, explaining the forces that have shaped them and the life experiences they've had. Don't be afraid to rattle on here for a while if you have a lot to say. We won't penalize you, I promise <3.

While most Lords of Hell have existed for a while, this doesn't mean you have to give us a steady timeline of their every move throughout history- just what you consider most valid to them, like major turning points, if they've experienced any (like, say, Falling, for those who have.). It's also important to describe what they're up to in these present days, telling how they came upon their new hobbies, jobs, and endless supplies of puppies to kick. What do they think of having to hunt down the re-emerging Angels? Is it a bad time for them? Do they yearn to reschedule? ^_^ Do they have it out for humanity? Are they just hungry for power? Jealous? Vengeful? Or do they just need a hug? Tell!

And remember, should your character be Fallen (or any-type), and you think other characters that happen to be members already should be involved with your own, you must ask the players in question about potential past/present involvements first. Never assume a player is in any way required to be involved with your character because you wrote said player in, because they're not. If you can't find their email address to ask via, then email one of the Council members, and we'll send it to you. Do not lie and claim to have obtained permission from a member for using their character when you haven't because, guess what? The Council will ASK the player(s) if you emailed them for permission, and nothing could reflect worse on you than us finding out the contrary. On the other hand, don't be afraid to ask!

Personality

This is the only section with a minimum. Please, seven paragraphs at least. This should be the meat and bone of your application as it details exactly who your character is. We're a tag writing circle, so everyone needs to be able to get a really firm feel on your character from this section, so please knock us out. Also, please be sure not to mix their history in with their personality ^^. We have a separate section for that.

If you wax very long and poetic in this section, we ask that you give us a summation list of pros and cons at the end for our convenience <3.

What makes this person tick? Strengths and weaknesses and all points of interest in between. Make sure to at least outline this LoHs 'alter ego' - the farce they put forward when they need to mingle with the populace, both personality-wise and occupation-wise. We understand that some LoHs might not need a wallet full of Fake IDs, but for those with a few, we need to know Why the LoH felt a need to make them up? and how far from the actual LoH does their charade wander? All of the LoHs hold prominent positions in the Creeping Darkness's structure (to have survived to this present day, they would have had to), but please go into detail of what they do. How do they behave on their own? around other LoHs, Humans, Angels? and why.

P.S. A sense of humor can help you here. Immensely. Demon doesn't always equal a sinister Gothic ball of Dreary Angst. On the other hand, sometimes they are, so, Go Fish!

Appearance

Eyes: Cain: Cain’s eyes are a light smokey brown in color, probably close to a cup of coffee with a helping of milk or cream. They are almond shaped and look evenly set in his head.

Moloch: Moloch’s eyes are quite different from his guise. First off, they are a mixture of dim reds, oranges, greys and browns, like dying embers. Secondly, his left eye isn’t pretty. A cloudy cover over his cornea and a great bit more reddish-pink and yellow around the white parts and somewhat crusty, it was burned quite a bit along with the rest of his face around that area. Falls under the category: Things That Make You Go ‘eew.’

Hair: Cain: Cain’s hair is short and black. The sides of his head are shaved while the top is left long and combed back into a stubby little ponytail at the top back of his head.

Moloch: Second verse, same as the first, but a little bit longer and a little bit worse. So, his hair is yet again shaved on the sides, pulled back to a ponytail, but braided this time and it reaches down to just below his knees where it is tied off yet again. His hair is slightly burned and scraggled out of his braid in places, mostly on his left side, and to this day still has the slight scent of burning hair.

Facial features/Skin/Carriage/Build: Cain: A slight tan and a lean body standing upper-mid 5’ makes up this coffee joint busboy. He’s quite the relaxed type, but wouldn’t dare slouch and has a look that usually comes across as either ‘I’m so friggin tired’ or ‘I’m better than you are’, take your pick. It’s kind of amazing he doesn’t have any sort of gut from the constant bombardment of sweets. Perhaps it’s all that walking.

Moloch: A bit more pale than Cain, Moloch’s skin comes off as fair, where it’s not been burned. Most of his left side has been burned from his fall, but his carriage still holds something of superiority. His body is also a bit slim, but not quite as much as Cain’s, who looks a like a malnourished young man. He has a strong squared jaw and a somewhat large nose, contrasted by his petit ears. Moloch looks as if he could hold his own in a brawl. The skin that has been burned including his arm, parts of his side, his face, including his ear, cheek, eyebrow and nose, are all on his left side. All those places are a tad swollen and a contrast of reds, pinks and purples, and even includes some still blackened or grey areas, a combination of ash and just burnt flesh. It’s like his wounds have only started to heal, but were never given the chance. Again, ‘eew.’

Usual attire: Cain: He kinda goes for the punk fashion, though leans a bit on poser side. But he wears mostly tight pants and shirts sometimes, plaids, shirts with strange sayings, things that horribly mismatch and boots or sneakers with crazy patterns. He’s also sometimes found to be wearing shirts made for 12 year old boys, the top cartoon or sport of the now usually being featured.

Moloch: see Voile.

Abilities

These are the mundane things that your character can do that are out of the ordinary. Can the make an awesome mix tape? Then put it here. Are they great at cooking? Here's where it goes. Do they ballroom dance, or play squash, or speak more than the Queen's English? All that stuff goes right in here mates. Please tick off each ability with a heading and then write a bit on it and then go on to the next one. Don't be afraid to stretch realism here a little. We don't frown on that at all. Consider that the GM has a character who speaks several unrelated languages fluently at age sixteen. We're a magical girl game. We expect some oddities <3. These are the people after the people with the brilliant souls, after all -- they're meant to be special and amazing. And, you know, evil.

Haha…I read “ballroom dance” as” balloon dance.”

† The Infernal

Color

Moloch’s has always been that rich, purple color, like the one used for the church. Also, purple is the children’s choice for overall favorite color. But since we have a few other purple people eaters running around, we’ll call it medium orchid 4 and give it a hex of #7A378B.

Symbol

His is still his angelic symbol of long past. Basically it’s an open circle with a larger X quartering and overlapping it. For alchemists, it means “to burn out” which is basically a process used to get rid of impurities. It’s also a symbol which stands for “child dies.”

Voile

Well, it’s not exactly pretty.

To start off, Moloch wears something that resembles a tunic with one sleeve on his left side with the right tucking under his armpit. It hangs down to about his knees and has a slit opening on the right side, trimmed in his primary purple, which continues around the hem. The purple is also seen around the neckline and cuff of the short sleeve with the tunic itself being a white-ish in color, (giving itself up more to a very discreet off white). He has a thick, pale golden choker that’s laced with gold and royal purple beads all over and an armband on his right arm that goes from his wrist to his bicep that follows a similar suit in the gold cuffs, the rest of it being decked out in his primary purple. Around his waist is a orchid holy ribbon, long enough to trail far behind him. Under the tunic he sports light golden highwaters and on his feet he wears a sort of slipper with a Y shaped seam in the front and in purple. His hair is also tied back, as usual, and dons bead decorated light golden ponytail holders at the beginning and base of his braid.

At least, that’s what it USED to look like before his fall.

Most of it now, has been burned off his left side, leaving gaping holes, charred bits and greying, which continues to whatever remains of his left wing, once white and somewhat glorious, now almost having a sore, melted appearance with a grotesque mottled or speckled pattern of burns, ash, and smoke damage. His left arm is severely burned and left out for the world to see; red, black with some small puss-like boils and really quite gross. His tunic is a little more grey than it used to be and black in many spots where it was burned. Quite a few beads have been melted, some onto his skin and hair, and his hair itself is no longer smooth and silky but a bit scraggled and charred, mostly toward the bottom. His face got through pretty alright on the right side, but his left cheek and ear, and tip of his nose resembles his arm in many ways, and his left eyebrow almost completely gone. It was also already mentioned his eye is a little more than red and not in the best of shape either. The holy ribbon around his waist no longer sports the holy runes as it once did, having turned blank and the length has been drastically cut short from the flames of his fall, now only barely hanging past his toosh. His right side was pretty much untouched by the fire except for his wing, which was charred at the base, and his detached sleeve, which has only the slightest of burns.

Weapon

It’s a big ass fire poker. No really. Used back in the day when he tended the sacrificial fires, it stands at about 5 feet high and roughly has the diameter of 3 ½ inches. It’s made of a somewhat ornate twisted iron pattern and loops at one end. At that end, a once holy ribbon has once again fallen blank and been reduced to tatters. On the other end is the sharp pointy bit. The vertical point is about half a foot while the horizontal point stems from the base of the vertical one in a slow arc, falling just short of half a foot in length.

Gifts

This is the supernatural answer to Abilities. Gifts are things that are supernatural and/or related to your powers as an El McBadness Demon. Also please note if the skills are innate (as in, all the time) or require use of some object or transformation. These are things that you wouldn't put under attacks or powers -- minor things they're good at or things that you can't really use in battle at all. Please follow the same format here as with Abilities. Name each one for easy reference and then give us a description and limitations of such. Some ideas include: innate abilities, like abnormal strength. You know, standard crazy villain fare. Such things as creating monsters/minions, teleportation, levitation, tendency to starting fires, etc. This includes LoH abilities that you wouldn't put under attacks or powers -- minor things they're good at, or even things that they can't really use in battle at all.

Attack(s)

LoH have at least two main attacks, aside from the usual villain fare listed in the special abilities section. They can have more than two, but preferably not less, and the attacks don't have to have fancy titles unless you want them to.

An attack's description should have three parts worth mentioning: a visual description of what happens while performing the attack, a summary of its power levels, and the end result. Can it be dodged? Blocked? Redirected? Hit more than one target? Can it only be performed once, or many times with impunity? Be sure to include its shortcomings. Note, we didn't say "if" it has shortcomings, because it MUST have weaknesses, and you MUST reveal them. It can be powerful, but not so overwhelming that it can't be stopped; there are no invulnerable attacks.

Recall that it's pretty standard fare to gank the souls of humans and the mundane. Each Lord of Hell will probably have their own specific way to go about doing this, and that should also be detailed here. The taking of Angelic Souls is a more difficult question best left to another day. Suffice to say that it is a very specialized and difficult process. Human souls though? They slide out like butter.

Demense

Moloch has reign over the area that covers his flat, the coffee shop he works at just about two blocks away, and the surrounding buildings between those two extremes, also including a very small park. No touchie. Otherwise he will hunt you down and take your lunch money and spend it on cake and eat it in front of you. And he’s not the kind to share.

Past Lives

Please hold off on this until you're actually in the RPG and we can all co-ordinate unless you have some really spiff-tacular concept you'd like to briefly outline for us. Also be aware that we may accept your present day concept, but maybe not be so hot about your Holy War concept.
