Appearance
While Sin is of average height, his legs seem quite long. It might have something to do with his habit of wearing black, leather pants with a tucked-in button up, but it's hard to say. His black hair is kept a few inches long, always styled deliberately, but never with too much precision. Most assume that his eyes are a dark brown, but they are, in fact, truly black just like his hair. It's a rare sight to find Sin without gloves on, and he has a large collection of various leather, latex and clothe gloves that he'll wear in different styles. When asked why, it's rare he'll offer an honest answer, and he'll even offer people differing stories simply for the fun of it.

The Infernum Palace
【✔ hotel, casino, night club ✔】
【♦ brothel, dungeon, fight club, cannibalism ♦】
【✘ a predator's perfect hunting ground✘】
The Infernum Palace is a perfect business model for the predatory of all kinds. It caters to every sin imaginable, and lures them right to your doorstep. It's entire premise is to serve the predators of the world, primarily those of supernatural origin. The whole establishment is a well-structure playground and hunting ground where you can have your darkest, deadliest, most disgusting fantasies handed to you with perfect service.
On the surface one sees a large, successful business that offers a luxury hotel, massive casino, and exciting night club. Everything is modern, sleek and sexy, offering the finest and the most thrilling experiences one could ask for. The prices reflect the quality, but are not so high that it's unattainable for the lay person. After all, the point is to get as many bodies through the door as possible. The theme throughout is a black and gold, elegant underworld that boasts the best of the 7 deadly sins. The Palace unapologetically advertises the time of your life, promising a lack of judgement and abundant thrills.
To anyone with superior blood to a mere human's, there is far more available to them. Whether their tastes include lust, wrath, gluttony or more, there is something for every sick predator out there. A few of the options available include a brothel, dungeon, a fight club, humans or any living thing served for dinner, drugs incapable with human biology, and so much more. If the Palace doesn't have what you're looking for on menu, they will get it for you, no questions asked. The Palace works closely with local mafias via lucrative agreements to make sure all needs are met.
All walks of life feel an allure to a certain point, their attention and desires keen on the Palace. Powerful magic is woven through the establishment, meant to draw in victims as well as patrons. Do your tastes include banging a human to literal death? Would you like a bowl of eyeballs from children? How about seeing heaven by way of the best dominatrix you've ever met? How about a new puppy? There are no limits, there are no asks too great. You are limited only by your wallet and your ability to articulate what you want. This is a safe place for the most dangerous, and a hunting ground at your disposal. There are, of course, some ground rules, but they're worth it.

The Palace's King
King might be too strong of a word, but Sin did create and mold The Infernum Palace into the thing that it is today. He owns and runs it with impunity because of how he has cultivated his business relationships. For the most part, he has to do very little anymore, as the place can run itself with the leadership it has in place. Even so, he is involved in the every-day operations in some capacity, making sure the well-oiled machine continues to work as exactly that. Rome didn't build itself in a day, though, and neither did this cesspit of debauchery.
Sin established the business about 500 years ago, but back then it was just a brothel that he used as his own personal hunting grounds. It brought in money and fed his own needs. But as he got to know more patrons and their needs, he realized just how little of the world truly caters to the wretched like himself. Over time, he expanded more and more, both the business, who he served, what he served up, and how he did it. Now, he has some of the worst friends anyone could ever want from all corners of the universe and all walks of life. Even those who have barely even seen him in person are willing to do him favors and pay him respect, simply because they are able to go to the Palace and get what they want, what they need. -

What have I become?
Sin is not a demon in the way you'd think. He wasn't born in the depths of hell, he doesn't slink between realms, he doesn't meet any of the criteria of those cliches. At least, he hasn't always. Sin's soul has blackened from the deal he struck centuries ago. What once was human has been blotted out by the darkness of his deeds, and there is no going back. The man who smiles at you today, is a shell of what once was.
The Journey into Darkness
Once upon a time, Sin was not only human, but a woman. She was born as Sang Kye to a poverty stricken village in the year (approximately) 1270 AD. There was not a single thing noteworthy about her, and she trudged through life's hardships like everyone else. She was born with just as much power as she was money, absolutely zilch. While she wasn't offered a great formal education, her family and her village did have a wealth of stories. Well, superstitious, anyway. Like so many other cultures, hers mentioned the dangers of consorting with demons and devils endlessly, that no matter how tempting their offers might be, it's never worth it.
She disagreed.
Everything changed the night she summoned a demon. It was easy enough to find a spell that worked after sorting through the stories, plus a little trial and error. Sang Kye became one of those cautionary tales she'd been told when she decided to trade herself for her desires. Not only did she wish to be a man, to have her body reshaped to fit what her soul felt... she also wanted wealth and good fortune. Since she was making a deal, why not get everything she could possibly want? The demon didn't want her soul, though, and that was all she had come prepared to sell.
Instead, the demon wanted service and souls until her life ultimately came to an end. A young, naive individual, though, she never read the so-called fine print, just signed on that dotted line. The process was extremely painful to give him the body he wanted, to mold his form into a being that matched what was hiding beneath biology. It felt worth it, up until the price was revealed for what it truly was.
Sin is required to provide a sacrifice every week, so long as he wishes to live. There is a small ritual involved, but he's able to murder anyone, anywhere, and fulfill his end of the bargain. For every soul he takes, he gains another week of life, wealth, and good fortune. Even ritualistic murder wasn't the only price, though, as Sin began to learn as time passed. Every time, a little bit of his soul darkened, twisted, and formed into something new. His body was the image of eternal youth, but his soul gnarled and shrank to reflect the heinous, selfish lifestyle he now lived.
With this darkness, Sin's life got easier in many ways. He had good luck that made it simple to cultivate a life that suited him. The only real difficulty was continuing to take lives in such a way that didn't raise alarm bells. Only so much luck would help if the world turned against him too harshly. Rather than being transient in his crimes, Sin opened a brothel, working his way through clients for some of his needs, the girls for others, but an especially lucrative source of souls were the bastard children the whores would bare. Since he had had time to amass a fortune, the brothel had a large number of whores, condoms were ineffective, and he would pay the girls extra to bare their bastard and give it to him rather than try to abort it. Abortions were risky to them, put them out of work longer than a birth would, and men often loved a pregnant woman to dote on in their bed. They never knew what came of their children, but the innocent souls he sacrificed paved the way for Sin truly darkening into evil.
The business expanded to cater to other monsters and their various, eclectic desires, and he no longer had to use children in such a way, but would carefully pick through patrons. As the world modernized and travel become abundant, tourism became his best friend. No longer worrying too much about taking too many lives from his city. Sin's kills simply became part of the dark statistics of the crime-riddled city.
