Arlel

A demon cursed with unnatural beauty by Asmodeus, in order to fulfill her duties as a succubus of the Second Circle.

0 · 736 views · located in Purgatory

a character in “The Multiverse”, originally authored by RolePlayGateway, as played by EarthWanderer08

Description

Name (Post Re-birth): Arlel
Alias: Cassandra,
Age (appearance): Twenty-three
Gender: Female
Position: Succubus

Appearance: Arlel is a petite, slight young woman who appears no older than her early twenties and has been cursed with a beauty that forms a catalyst for evil in the hearts of men. Her slender frame gives her the appearance of vulnerability, and her sharp features the look of youthful petulance. Night-black hair only complements the milky paleness of her skin, and off-sets large, emerald eyes that sit like the eyes of a china doll. Her flesh is marked only by the swirling black ink of a tattoo that stretches up the entire right side of her body, from ankle to shoulder. She is truly creature of inhuman beauty.

Beneath this facade lies her true form. Arlel is no longer human, if she ever was; instead she is a creature twisted by her pacts with hell. Though few can see, and will ever see, what Arlel truly looks like, there are those that have. She is said to have skin the color of freshly burnt flesh, cracked with veins. Though she looses none of her beauty, her features seem to contort and become hideous to behold; hair like worms and eyes simply blackened sockets...

Personality

Abilities:
- Arlel holds dominion over the basic demonic principles: she holds the ability to possess those of a weaker mind, or whom willingly allow her into their body. As a succubus, the act of reproduction also acts as a conduit for her to possess another being. Her position as a succubus has also granted her the ability of seduction, both as a physical manifestation of beauty and of an unnatural aura.
- As a demon, Arlel possesses a resilience and fortitude which overshadows that of a mere mortal. She is capable of surviving afflictions and wounds which, while painful and debilitating, will heal where a mortal would perish. Her mortal vessel can be killed however, although she will simply be recycled back to Hell. While in Hell, or in her demonic form, she gains the ability to regenerate lost parts of her body. She also has unnatural strength and reflexive speed, both of which are heightened at the aforementioned times.
- Due to her incarceration in the Ninth Circle and Second Circle, Arlel has been endowed with certain powers. This closely resembles an elemental control over the elements of 'water', 'wind' and 'ice'. This seems to give credence to the myth that the Ninth Circle is frozen.
- Arlel has the unique ability to resurrect people whom are trapped in Hell, or return souls resurrected by herself or others. Each resurrection comes at a price.
- As a demon, Arlel has the ability to traverse between the realms of Hell and Earth at will. She is also able to draw others with her, even if they are living (though they may return by traversing from whichever Circle they are in). Due to the time lapses between these realms, Arlel can appear to 'teleport' in the mortal realm.

Flaws:
- Her beauty and powers of seduction are uncontrollable; she has no power over those who are attracted to her, and as a succubus can be compelled by Asmodeus to fulfill her duties by laying with any man whom she enchants. If she refuses this compulsion, she can be placed into the Second Circle as punishment. Some believe this has already happened.
- The price of resurrection: Arlel must traverse each Circle of Hell to search for the soul she wishes to release, until it is found. Once it is found, she must attempt to bring the soul back the path she came - if her target turns back, or is lost from her during the journey, they will forever be trapped in the Circle they were lost in. Arlel only gets one chance. Once a person is brought from Hell, they indebt their souls automatically to Asmodeus whom grants Arlel her powers. Because of this, the returned souls must become either succubus, or incubus.

Personality: Arlel is, and as far as anyone knows has always been, a woman of great sin. Her primary sinful traits are those of wrath and lust, and she shows these veins prominently throughout her character. Arrogant, intolerant and even petulant Arlel is the embodiment of what mortals depict a succubus to be.
Do not mistake this for blind evil, however, for these are traits that many mortals share. Arlel is capable of friendship, perhaps even love and mercy. Perhaps her greatest virtue is that of diligence; she is far from a mindless cohort of Hell. As with all beings, their are two sides; one must always be face-down, however. For a demon temptress, the decision of which side to show is a simple one.

History

Biography: There is almost no textual or historical reference to Arlel that can be verified or authenticated. What little there is comes mostly in the form of word of mouth, passed down as myth throughout generations of families that have been affected by her presence in their pasts. The earliest authentic textual reference to her name is dated at belonging to the 16th Century, and was found in what is now Germany, although this the only reference from that region.

There is little useful information that can be garnered from these texts: Most agree that her name is Arlel, although texts from the Far East also use the name Orceh. She appears to be at least five-hundred years old if the Germanic text is to be believed, and is said to be able to bring winter before its time.

The rest of her story is known only to herself and those whom hold the key to her shackles.

So begins...

Margaret Mallare noticed K'gara sobbing, and Elanna Torres pressing something on her wrist. Others, like Nikki Oceantide, seemed shocked to be where they were. To be honest, so was Margaret.

A great trumpet sounded in Purgatory. It was like thunder that shook the world from the highest heaven to the lowest pit. Blinding white light shone out of the east like the coming dawn and rose with the crescendo of the trumpet blast. Then the sound fell into a dull roar like the steady hum of a dragon’s breath - or the grinding of a giant’s teeth - as a fissure opened in the earth. Smoke, fire, and the wailing of the damned seeped from the hole to the west.

Two beings emerged into Purgatory. The first, descending from the east, landed upon the grey wastes with a flap of great feathered wings. He was garbed in robes that billowed in an unseen wind and armor that glistened with divine radiance. A cowl shrouded his face, but his piercing gaze burned through every soul before him.

”It is time…” he spoke, his voice bearing the weight of a mountain and the grace of a lyre.

The second creature rose from the pit, gnarled claws scraping sinister slices into the dead earth. Eyes, terrible eyes, filled with hate and cunning and burning like the raging heart of a dying star, narrowed upon the unfortunate souls before him. It wore little beyond a loincloth, leaving its scarred and chiseled chest to bear.

”... To chose.” He finished, his words grating like gnashing granite.

”I am Mikha’el the Guardian, chief archangel of the malakim.” The being of light, Mikha’el, said.

”And I am Morthos, Scourge of a Thousand Skies, Field Commander of the Dark Legion.” Spoke the pit fiend, Morthos.

”For those who seek rest and eternal slumber until the next Cycle, gather beneath my wings. I shall take you into Paradise.”

“And those who seek power beyond death, to scrape and claw their way to greatness, kneel at my feet. I will take you into the Nine Circles where you may still earn a chance to return to the mortal world.”


A man emerged from the crowd and walked towards Morthos. He wore dark robes, nearly black, that contrasted with a bleach-white and hairless face. Baelin Alshadow turned to face the crowd of lost souls.

“Come, brothers and sisters!” Baelin called out with a great voice. “Do you wish to fester in a so-called paradise constructed by such a lofty being who never lifted a finger to stop your own demise?! Let us partake of the cup of hellfire and submerge ourselves in the all consuming darkness. Isn’t it not known that all the universe originated from eternal darkness? I will return to my birthplace and claim the power that is rightfully mine.”

The pale man in dark robes knelt before the devil and sank into his shadow.

Dante Alighieri scowled at the man and whispered a prayer for his soul. He looked up to the dead sky above him. A great cataclysm, a change in the status quo of Hell, had occurred. The former crusader had watched as the legions of demons and devils marched out of Dis, heading to the lower circles, but he scarcely imagined that it would lead to this…

The current, now former, Lucifer had been ousted, and the Circle of Violence claimed by the Lord of Heresy. It was ironic, really, and he should have foreseen these events. Alas, now all he could do was rein in the other princes as much as he could.

“Traverse the circles at your own peril.” Dante said to the crowd as he walked passed the pit fiend. “Consort and bargain with demons if you desire, but know that a snake charmer is always bitten in the end. If you survive to reach Dis, then find me there.”

Al’myaz Malgun looked between the angel and devil. His sickles hung loosely in his grip. He wasn’t even supposed to be here. By the Great Serpent, he was still living, dammit! Still, perhaps this was his chance…

He walked towards Mikha’el, head hung low, and dropped his sickles in the dust. “Is there room in Paradise for one such as I?”

”Go and rest, young muhari. Your mournful heart has cleansed your hands of blood.”

The desert assassin stepped into the soft glow beneath the angel’s wings. Al’myaz let out a sigh, laid upon the ground, and fell asleep.

Nikki Oceantide just laughed. "Return to the mortal world? Only to go through this all over again when my time comes for real? No thanks. I choose life." And with that, Nikki made her final choice, moving to the Guardian's embrace.

Elanna Torres looked to the booming voice, even as voices seemed to originate from her form. "Twenty milligrams of epi, charge to twenty, clear!" The voices caused Torres to convulse to the sound of an electric shock. It was confusing to her.

Samus Macron looked around curiously, surprised by the sudden change in environment. He seemed confused, but slowly he recalled the sound of the rocks from his last moments.

Well, I uh... guess I'm dead?
he pondered, before noticing the Temple to the east.

I guess I'm going thattaway.
he trailed off as he wandered in that direction.

Bian Linh Vu heard the great horn and became more curious about that than her circumstance. Last, she had been watching a news cast. Now, she supposed she was dead. How did she die? No clue. She faintly remembered a fast smash and a horn blaring. Oh.

She watched as a couple others wandered deeper into wherever they were. She decided to follow.
