You are a King of hell!
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:11:20 am »


God is dead.




There are those who say that demons are born out of pure evil and death. That a demon may be created at anytime, anywhere. That it just takes a vile act of sinister nature to spawn one.

They are wrong.


The birth of a real, powerful demon is a delicate and careful process. You need a skilled Nutritor, able to recraft a human soul in the most exquisite ways. Torture, torment, sinning, pleasure, lust. All is a part of transformation. But even the most skilled Nutritor need good rawmaterials. Most souls end up as mere imps. While only the most corrupted ones are able to be respawned as demons. All of this takes place in a hell. Yes, most religions got that wrong as well. Hell is not a single place created by god to send every corrupted soul which did´t fit in heaven. Instead, there are a lot of hells. Each one of them governed by a particular strong demon. One of them are you.

Every hell is a bit different. Most of them have agents in the mortal world. Some try to gain political power. Others hoard as many souls as possible. While some demons establish order in his or hers ranks, most flourish in chaos. All of them try to stay out of Heavens radar. As heaven are vastly more powerful than any hell. They quickly obliterates any hell they find. Every king of hell need to balance the strive for power and the need for desecration. Most of them fail, hence the reason why there aren't any real threat to heaven. They are able to destroy any aspiring king before he grows to strong.
It is entirely up to you how you want to govern. You will have to expand your army. Find ways to research new weapons and spells. Gain power in the mortal world. And who knows, one day you might be able to take the mythical title ”Lucifer” , king of demons.

Okay, lets do this.

Name: S'scrimmoloch
Favourite Appearance: A dark hulking figure with scythes for claws.
Hell: A random world of twilight and shadow where nothing that can be seen can be trusted. Also pain and torture by unmentionable beasts.
Portal: A bank vault in London. By the Thames.

Name:
 Frank "The Warden"
Favourite appearance: Franks favourite form is appearing as a man in his mid-fifties, in a cheap but well-fitting suit. with his short-cropped brown beard, a pipe and his good deamenour he tries to evoke feelings of companionship...or maybe thats his genuine personality. Mostly he appears like that because he himself thinks not that he is a particularly evil person (just doing his Job after all) and to tip off people he has to deal with due to his pretty unexpected behaviour and looks.
Short discretion of your hell: A Huge Prison-Complex Maybe? ((let other people decide how that has to look))
Portal location: Texan-Mexican Border. (Perfect place, our Crossroad Daemons turn into Border Guards and lawyers letting illegal immigrants sign their souls away to get a better life. And the Normal Daemons take the role of Coyotes(or whatever those Smugglers are called again) instead leading them directly into our portal to hell. It's out of populated Areas and although i might be wrong doesn't have Texas a pretty high Prison Density? We could send our Crossroad Daemons in there as Lawyers...freedom for you soul. And we get good souls)

It is a suggestion game. So, no reserving here.  ;D

No problem. I will try to merge Gamerlord and Ghazkull suggestions later this evening unless someone else feels like voting/suggesting something else.

Name:
  Dromaeosauridae

Favourite appearance: 
A towering skeletal dinosaur, covered in hunks of decaying flesh.

Short discretion of your hell: A small realm of jungles and tarpits. The humidity here is truly opressive. Your castle is built of bone and enchanted fern, twisted together in an artful arrangement of green and white.

Portal location: In the basement of a midwife's house in rural impoverished Africa. One of our Crossroad Demons is currently possessing the Midwife.

Name: Xartuphken
Description: A tall sinuous creature of tentacles and wings. Silver, balck, and purple, it radiates a sense of malice.
Hell: Non-Euclidean geometries abound in this place. Eldritch creatures drift among the shards of impossible glasslike mazes, waiting for victims. An errie heartbeat fills the air, punctuated by the howls of creatures.
Portal location: In the sewers beneath London, near the underground.

Sounds good, but change the name to something like Vileraptor (vile thief).

Your true name is S'scrimmoloch. But neither demon nor human knows that name. If they did, you would be weakened, since the knowledge of a demon’s name grants you limited power over it. You do not remember your human past, it doesn't matter that much. When you were reborn as a demon reborn as a demon, you did much better then your brothers and sisters. For several years you served your master. Until you felt you were stronger than him.
There was a long battle between you and the former king. You had several demons loyal to you, after many missions in the mortal realm. But he had the majority of the imps. In the end however, you won. And you could finally call yourself King of hell.
That granted you some extraordinary advantages. You quickly reorganised your hell, and made the ritual to relocate your portal. With all the death around here, it was’t really a problem to get all the souls.

Your portal,  now relocated in the Texan-Mexican border, will serve you well. When you enter the human world. You find yourself in a large guardtower. There are guards working shift here every hour.
You also remade your hell completely.  Fittingly to a  huge prison complex.  Every cell adapted to it’s inmate, all depending on what makes him or her to crack. The whole place is engulfed in a oppressive humidity. And for the few lucky souls who managed to escape the prison, they quickly get killed by the vile animals lurking in the jungles surrounding the prison.

When travelling in the Mortal world. You usually appear as a man in his mid fifties. Dressed in a  well-fitting brown suit, always carrying a black briefcase filled with contracts. You introduce yourself as Frank with a calm and friendly voice, and with your short-cropped beard you truly look like a good person. But there is still something that feels wrong about you....and Mortals close to you tend to feel very uneasy and nervous. And really, can you blame them? 

Right now, you have a lot of things to decide. First you need to set up your operation. There are a few mortals near your portal working as border guards. You need to dispose them. You could posses them, and have your demons act as guards as they are secure contracts with desperate immigrants. The possessing demons will be stuck in the bodys for a while though. If you left them...they whould remember everything they did while being possessed by a demon.  Or you could simply kill them and have your demons act as guards, but that would attract some attention, and there is the problem with replacements...
Or maybe, you have another plan altogether?
