fact: ✓ He can be killed, but it must be done within the bowels of Hell. If his vessel is not fully destroyed, he will be reborn again given his possession of the (Phoenix). ✓ He is still affected by holy relics; however, they no longer have an incredibly potent effect on his character. His stolen armor protects him from detrimental harm. (IE: Crosses still burn the exposed flesh spanning the rest of his body. Injuries sustained in this fashion will heal.) ✓ He can no longer walk (freely) within Hell, though is still revered there within varying factions. He refuses to remove the Longma's scales for re-entry -- nor can he do so easily. Rumor states that he does re-enter, by unconventional means -- or using the aid of others. ✓ His scales can be stripped, but they will grow back. It can be a long process, or a quick one depending on the removal and how it was done. The mass removal of his scales is one of the most extreme pains he can feel; the medallions literally spanning billions of tiny veins beneath his skin -- their hold delving even into his psyche. ✓ His Chimera can open tears within reality -- their locations & purpose appear entirely sporadic. Cannot be used by self to open a passage to Hell. ✓ He is a master alchemist with incredible plant knowledge. He will take apprentices, though they must possess extreme aptitude -- his knowledge is an incredibly valuable asset. ✓ He 'bathes' in ✓ He carries a massive 'novel' with immense, ever-expansive knowledge on Hell, hellbeasts, summons, incantations, spells; chemistry, biology, satanic methodology, demons' names; equations, recipes, diagrams, imagery & so on. This is a personal journal of 'knowledge' (shared, gained, found, acquired, discovered). This book is the only document to contain his real, demonic name. fiction: ✗ He is 100% immortal. If his vessel is fully dispersed in Hell, he will not be reborn and his son will ultimately become the next Pestilence. ✗ He is entirely merciless, unapproachable and unhinged. His lover gave him the gift of compassion; he welcomes communication and business ventures (a desire for mortal pleasure). ✗ He drinks blood to sustain. While he does ingest blood, it serves him no true purpose in doing so. All blood must be absorbed into his scales for the Longma to quell. ✗ He is completely hedonistic. He enjoys carnal pleasure, as do most demons -- but his greater purpose does not center here. He will not deny warranted advances, but he openly rejects proposals that don't suit him, or his situation. ✗ He knows everything. While he will indefinitely quest for knowledge and will likely turn down nothing of intellectual value, he is only a master in alchemy, biology, chemistry and botany because they are closely related in necessity to perform alchemy to its fullest potential. |
♤ I. Geddon is brought forth in Hell; he is bred as the Rider -- the Horseman -- of Pestilence. ♠ II. Geddon finds himself on Earth, set to fulfill his goal and bring forth the Armageddon with his three brethren. ♤ III. In short, Plague realizes the pleasures of Earth and connects with a powerful phoenix. ♠ IV. The woman becomes his lover; they express their affection through carnal sin and forbidden connection. ♤ V. As their bond strengthens, the woman's body is ultimately poisoned; her mystical attributes only capable of warding the inflicted decay for so long. ♠ VI. His lover becomes pregnant, though she ultimately 'dies' after giving birth to his two sons. One is still at birth, whilst the other thrives. |
♤ VII. Armageddon rips out his very essence, transported to Heaven on the cusp of the pure soul of his first son. The infant was never innately evil, inheriting his mother's passion and 'humanity.' ♠ VIII. Plague was halted at Heaven's gates, the soul of his son permitted. ♤ IX. In furious attempt to reach his spawn, he engages in battle with a holy, ivory dragon (the Longma). Protector of the gates -- he becomes the dragon. ♠ X. He imbues his body with the creature's scales after an intense battle. He enters Heaven, wearing this 'holy armor.' Those impeccable scales turn red (flecked with pure opal) when they touch his skin, kissed by the Hellfire that gives him life. ♤ XI. He is forcefully removed from Heaven, whilst his son remains. The battle is long, but few demons prosper beyond those gilded gates. |
♠ XII. After confirming the safety of his first son's soul & accepting Fate, he is 'returned' to Hell and demands the presence of the Second Son who was 'kidnapped' at birth. ♤ XIII. Given the holy attributes he now sports; Plague is no longer welcome in Hell. ♠ XIV. After a desperate quarrel with his two brothers (Death and Famine) over birthright & destiny, he is mortally wounded. ♤ XV. Just as his soul begins to cease (to bring about the True Resurrection), his lover makes her presence known (damned to Hell, to pay for her lover's sins on Earth). She is now an onyx phoenix, who has been rendered blind -- her color stripped by Grief. ♠ XVI. In her last attempt of glory, she dons Plague her essence -- and her wings -- and saves him. He inherits her soul, and her existence is ended. He becomes the phoenix. |
♤ XVII. Plague is ruefully forced from Hell; rejected given his holy attributes & denial of Rite -- the threat of his waning psyche & objective highly unwelcome amongst his kin. The war with Death & Famine viewed as highly controversial in the Depths -- with the compromise to tear apart already fragile factions & boundaries. ♠ XVIII. He retains his title as Pestilence, each Horsemen unable to reincarnate in any subsequent body (or time) as long as the original entity exists. He can only truly be felled in Hell and does not possess a singular soul; instead, he is a cornucopia -- having no real 'center.' ♤ XIX. Horseman War is his greatest ally, but they are no longer able to actively contact one another. It is rumored with their kin that War actively seeks to connect with his brother after once kidnapping & torturing a winter Seer he'd adopted with focused purpose. There are other whispers that speak of War's information regarding Plague's son. ♠XX. Occasionally minions of the underworld (and heaven) are sent to kill him, or to torture/capture him. He has an eventual ultimatum; to relinquish those scales and rejoin his brothers as the bringer of plague -- or to retain the armor and conquer for the sake of his missing son. ♤ XXI. 'The Father' is not actively involved in Plague's capture and would prefer Pestilence alive. Plague is one of his original sons (the Horsemen being his direct offspring in personal lore); the power running through Plague's veins is an original evil -- it cannot be replicated wholly, nor entirely purged. If Plague (at present) truly expires, his 'energy' is distributed back through all circles of Hell, the vessel of the Second Son the closest capable of harnessing its original capacity. The Father prefers him reclaim his place in the underworld, but does not play a heavy hand in this overall scenario. ♠ XXII. Plague's son's location is (mostly) unknown, but it is speculated that he is being tortured into becoming the replacement for Plague within Hell -- to do the bidding of a mysterious allegiance and eventually murder his father. ♤ XXIII. The single, golden horn he possesses was a gift to him from the offspring of a bull deity prior to returning fully to his current plane of existence; it serves as a channel for the holy energy absorbed by his scales. The horn is a symbol of balance, donned to him by a once ally. It cannot fully prevent the harm from his 'armor,' but it does allow the cycling of internal energy should it become too potent. |
