Appearance
That which is beautiful is not always good...[/color]
Gabriel is an unusual half-breed in the Daemon world, originating from an insane though extremely beautiful Fire Elemental mother and a sadistic, striking Bardic Golem father. As a result this enigmatic Daemon is remarkably beautiful in a unique way arising from his breeding.
He inherited moonstone skin with a distinct silver quality that has a higher degree of flexibility than average Golem skin. His hair is black with subtle red highlights and slightly unkempt though beautiful. His eyes, like the traditional Bardic Golem's, are an unusual shade of green-blue and are intensely striking. He has a lean, muscular frame and stands at a little over six foot. Like all Daemons Gabriel possesses fangs and claws, both of which are retractable at will although tend to emerge without intention when he is angered.
This Daemon favours very simple attire - light weight black cotton pants are pretty much all he wears. Like most Daemons there is a distinct wildness about Gabriel and he is more comfortable with a bare torso and feet. He does, however, wear a huge amount of silver jewellery - several necklaces with precious stone pendants, rings on every slender finger, endless bracelets and anklets. Most are set with stones from the Daemon Tunnels.
Gabriel has several oddities that arise from his half-breed status:
- He can feel pain but at a significantly diminished intensity
- He can feed off the energy of fire to some extent, but still needs to eat regular food a couple of times a week to survive
- He retains a weakness to water although it will not kill him as it might a full blood Fire Elemental
- Along those same lines he maintains a very high body temperature compared to most creatures and is unaffected by cold (as long as water is uninvolved)
- He is infertile
- Changing a human is more likely to result in their death than an actual change. If they survive they will also take on qualities of both Fire Elementals and Bardic Golems but this could be expressed quite differently to how it is in Gabriel - no two half breeds, even of the same two species, are exactly the same
Personality[/b]
The devil is a charming man...[/color]
Quite the charmer, is Gabriel. His natural charisma is his most striking personality feature and it is powerfully enhanced by the Bardic Golem lineage, of which he is magically inclined over his Fire Elemental heritage. Be very, very careful of this striking Daemon Lord because his power lies not in his ability to forcefully overpower challengers and rule-breakers, but rather in his ability to mesmerise them. His eye-catching physicality, his oddly striking eyes, his velvet-soft voice and his honey-and-roses scent are irresistibly hypnotic.
However this does not mean that he does not possess any physical strength. Quite the opposite - the Daemon's are a wild, chaotic and highly reactive race and Gabriel is famously moody and unpredictable - Fire Elemental blood ensures this. He rules fairly but firmly and has no qualms about entering into physical fights if his bardic charms fail to stop the attacker in their tracks. Fights are part of the job description for the Daemon Lord so over the years Gabriel has refined a technique that balances charm with violence, to great effect so far.
Gabriel is not without his vices. Lust is a significant one, exceeded only by pride. Offending Gabriel is likely to end in swift and merciless punishment. Avarice also applies in his coveting of silver and precious stones. This volatile, dynamic Daemon is also jealous, temperamental and fiercely independent, again due to his Fire Elemental blood which also imbues him with endless restless energy. He does not take permanent partners or hold slaves due to the latter. He is prone to outbursts of rage and violence due to the former.
Fortunately, his long-term holding of the position of Daemon Lord has taught him a certain amount of diplomacy and political savvy. Gabriel is extremely intelligent, extremely confident, and extremely persuasive. He is challenged to fights for power less than would be average because most that meet him are fascinated rather than provoked by him. He serves the Daemon race with diligence and fierce loyalty, and is committed to ensuring they fare as well as possible regardless of the outcome for the other species of Illinor. However he does engender a deep respect for the forest and a loose but reliable alliance with the Fae, and tends to lead by example in such matters.
In short, don't mess with Gabriel unless you know what you're doing and you don't mind taking a risk. This mesmerizing Daemon is firmly in control, is not afraid of making hard decisions, and is perfectly willing and able to punish usurpers and unsavouries with death.
He could just be your own personal hell...or heaven. Depends how you treat him really.
History[/b]
As it turns out, dreams can be dangerous...[/color]
He left the Dream Land willingly known only as Gabriel. There was nothing holding him there; his parents, though they had taken great care in raising their only offspring, were both insane in their own way. Litharia called to him - the beauty of the forest, the intrigue of the Fae, so Gabriel was curious enough to explore. And indeed it was worth the loss of immortality, a gift he had never appreciated, because in the Forest he was far more at home.
Gabriel found the Fae fascinating - whimsical creatures, less chaotic than his kind though no less magical. But it was his own species that he retained a loyalty to and when he learned of the ruling system that existed in Litharia Gabriel began to integrate himself into it. And eventually at the age of three hundred and sixty six Gabriel challenged the Daemon Lord of the time and won the position for himself.
He has ruled now for exactly one hundred and ten years. Gabriel Jhaedaes Os Tar is his official title - Leader of Chaos. And it is an apt name for there is nothing permanent or logical in the lives of the Daemons. Gabriel is a powerful and firm leader, though a fair one with the interests of Daemons his genuine concern. He maintains a political relationship with the Fae who still fascinate him.
The system, of course, allows for challenges to his leadership and Gabriel accepts them with the grace and pride that is called for by Daemon culture. He generally kills the challenger, although mercy may be granted if promises of loyalty are forwarded by the defeated Daemon. However there have been no challenges for around thirty years and while Gabriel knows one could come at any time and remains ready for it, it seems his reputation as a hypnotic, deadly killer has spread.
More the better, really. Gabriel likes his position and he's good at it. He is fairly public in his leadership and it would be unusual for any Daemon not to know the name of the current Lord, although the nature of Daemons still allows him plenty of time to indulge in his vices and a fairly nomadic lifestyle (he does, however, return to the Tunnels regularly). What remains to be seen is just how long he can retain his power...he's showing no signs of wishing to relinquish it yet.
Roleplay Sample[/b]
Gabriel needed to escape, just for a little while.
The position of Daemon Lord was a demanding one. His kind were volatile, easily angered, hard to predict. He was no different of course but, like any Daemon, at times he needed to indulge his requirement for independence and solitude. So, although he spent a great deal of time at the Daemon Tunnels, today Gabriel slipped away quietly to hunt.
He was overdue anyway. A visible peace settled over the Daemon as he weaved among the trees, slunk silently through the heavy mist. The ache of hunger and the stress-induced, bruise-like shadows below the Daemon Lord's striking teal eyes told him that he'd left it too long between hunts - although fire could sustain him for some time, he couldn't survive solely on it. No, he needed real, tangible food for that and, as Gabriel sunk into a crouch and scented the thick, warm blood of some unfortunate mammal, dagger-sharp fangs snaked over his chin and his claws extended into natural weapons.
Silently, with little more than a flash of pale silver-grey as he moved instinctively among the shadows, the Daemon began his hunt.
