Character Sheet
Name: Abraxas, the Philanthropist
Age: While not the eldest of the Demon Lords, Abraxas is certainly very ancient
Gender: Male
Species: Elder Demon
Starting Location: The Continent of Enervis
Personality: Abraxas may have not asked to be created, but he certainly is making the most of his time. Over the grand millennia of his immortal existence, Abraxas has certainly matured into a reasonable man... er, um, demon. With this maturity has come a sacred respect for life, Abraxas is a pacifist at his heart, and he abhors violence of any kind. Though, that is not to say that he is weak, if he is put in a situation where he must fight, he will not hesitate. His considerable demonic size serves him well as a most effective combat strategy. Most of the time, Abraxas uses the sorcery granted by his father, Alistair, to disguise himself as a human so as not to seem so imposing and intimidating.
Furthermore, Abraxas has set himself up as a local leader for his community of elder demons, a position that he protects with force if necessary. But, things rarely ever come to that. Officially, his is judge, jury, and executioner for those who transgress the laws of the community, but he is trusted by his community, and he wishes to maintain that. For only he is strong enough to protect the community from threats, both outside and within.
Weapons/Powers: When in his human form, Abraxas uses a staff as a weapon, but when he is in his demon form he goes unarmed. Abraxas has spent these countless millennia perfecting three skills: his ability to shapeshift, this isn't just limited to his ability to shapeshift from a demon lord into a human, but his ability to shapeshift is without limits; his ability to heal the sick and injured, including himself; and a divinatory ability to discover secrets and private knowledge. This means he doesn't have any methods to defend against magical attacks to him, and if someone can overwhelm his healing factor, then he can certainly end up with some serious injuries.
History: While Abraxas was not the first-born of Alstair, he was born fourth from the eldest. This is why his demonic form is so formidable and titanic, because Alstair had yet to perfect his methods of creation. It is the way of nature for a creation to serve its creator; children serve their parents, and men serve their gods. He did Alstair's bidding as he taught the demon lords in his arcane and occult secrets, and trained them in the sorcery that is their birthright as the demonic. Abraxas would torture men by searching their minds for images of those that they loved and then he would make their memories reality. It takes a very dark kind of person to be able to kill even the form of those that they love, and that was how he lived for so long, by exploitation and using something so beautiful in such a terrible manner.
It was some centuries later when Abraxas began to grow a conscience and mature, and he was invited to a rebellion against Alstair by one of his older brothers. With Alstair dead, his fellow siblings would be free, they wouldn't be bound by their bond of creation. He rallied more of the elder demon brood to wage a holy war with his charismatic ways. And his small group almost did it, they almost did the impossible, they almost killed a god. They lost many good brothers and sisters in that fight.
Alstair was terrified of the power of the elder demons, and he exiled them to Enervis and sealed them with powerful, divine magic. Abraxas doesn't remember how much time had passed when he was finally disturbed from his slumber. But, he did spend a long time searching the country for his banished brethren and restoring them to life, Abraxas is ready for a second rebellion. But this time, they would win, they will do the impossible. They will kill a god.
