                                              xxxxxxName: Cassius d'Ivoire
                                              xxxxxxGender: male
                                              xxxxxxAge: 29
                                              xxxxxxClass: lower
                                              xxxxxxOccupation: merchant of second-hand wares
                                              xxxxxxCurrent Residence: arkenvale
                                              xxxxxxMagic: water

                                              APPEARANCE

                                              xxxxxxHair: long, dank, black, stringy
                                              xxxxxxEyes: grey
                                              xxxxxxHeight: 5'7"
                                              xxxxxxBuild: gaunt, sickly


                                              xxxxxx↦ it's very possible that Cassius has some sort of disease. Much of his skin is covered in red welts and heavy
                                              xxxxxx↦old scarification
                                              xxxxxx↦ Cassius has some very... interesting scars around his mouth. Several white lines, and some still bruised
                                              xxxxxx↦and oozing scabs that criss-cross over his lips. This makes talking painful, but hasn't deterred him from
                                              xxxxxx↦conversation.
                                              xxxxxx↦ Cassius has a large tattoo of a white snake running from his navel to a coil above his heart.



                                              PERSONALITY

                                                xxxxxxMANIPULATIVE
                                                Cassius is an excellent wordsmith - everything he speaks drips of honeyed poison. He loves to whisper secrets and promises in one ear, while slicing the other off. He's a slimy, manipulative creep and he loves to watch people dance to his melodies. His ability to speak sweet nothings helps him greatly with his sales. It's not difficult to persuade the average customer to purchase when you're used to making more sinister deals.


                                                xxxxxxPERFECTIONIST
                                                The devil's in the details, and Cassius loves detail. He is meticulous in all his business - in bending people to his word, in fixing his wares to sell, when judging others for worthiness... He picks and pokes between flaws until all the cracks are stretched wide. And then, if he sees fit, he fills them in again until not even he can see where damage was done.


                                                xxxxxxMISANTHROPIC
                                                Humans are digusting. Even himself. Especially himself. He despises them, each and everyone. Stinking, sweating, imperfect beings that they are. It's a shame the apocalypse didn't wipe them out completely. He has no love for his fellow man, no desire to go out of his way to help anyone. He certainly isn't against the idea of ridding the human race of a few of its numbers. One might even go so far as to say he empathizes with the demons.


                                                xxxxxxASCETIC
                                                Cassius does not indulge, in anything. He lives a very bland, ascetic lifestyle, staving off pleasures such as intimacy and possessions. He eats bland food, when he eats at all, and clothes himself with tattered rags. While he makes decent money through his business, he lives in ram shackles and purchases nothing but the bare necessities for himself.

                                                xxxxxxDETAIL
                                                Cassius and Valoch. Valoch and Cassius. A match made in hell. You put two cunning creeps together and the relationship that blossoms forth is far from healthy. Valoch is a master manipulator, more-so even than his bond. After all, he holds all of Cassius' puppet strings, and is the true master between them. He has desires for greatness and a burning hatred for demons that far surpasses all else. Although he's no particularly fond of humans either. They're pawns in his game. While he is... loyal to Cassius, in so much that he's the only one allowed to hurt him, he doesn't have strong feelings of fondness for the human. He makes a good little slave, and that's all Valoch wants from him. Valoch is constantly on the look out for other minions and believes that hell hounds - being the most superior species - should lay claim to the earth. Not humans. Unlike most of his brethren he has no qualms against going out of his way to injure ordinary humans.He is dangerous and cruel... but frighteningly capable of sweet-talking his way into others' comfort zones.

                                              All the demons of the void! What was going on? Cassius’ head throbbed. He dropped to his knees, clammy hands clutching at his brow, yanking the greasy strips of his own hair. BANG! The noise reverberated around his skull, bashed and bloodied up his brain. He squeezed his eyes shut and cried out. The pain. The pain.

                                              BANG! Another toll. So close. So loud. How was it here inside his head?!

                                              He was going mad. Mad.

                                              Cassius snarled and wrenched his hands from his head,” Stop! Stop it!” The scabs around his mouth split open with his shouts and oozed down his chin.

                                              BANG!

                                              He collapsed.


                                              -----------------------------------------

                                              Cassius awoke to the scent of dried sweet and boiling meat. He cracked each eye open carefully, hearing the grime cake off to the ground. How long… had been asleep? And where was he? Beneath the sickening smell of meat was the earthy moistness of dirt, and a sharp tang of wet stone. Underground.

                                              Cassius peeled himself off the ground, not yet rising to his feet, and scraped his fingernails through his tangled hair. The throbbing pain in his head and dulled to a weak ache. Just enough pain to keep him on edge, aware.

                                              In front of him a cauldron was boiling. Apart from the meat smell the ingredients were a mystery. Cassius peered closer, hoping to recognize something in the stew – he was a seller of unusual objects after all – but every time his eyes focused on something that seemed to have form it would shimmer and disappear amid the broth.

                                              A line of light burst from the rock wall.

                                              Cassius gasped and stumbled backward, falling to his knees once more. The sudden onslaught of brightness against the dark made his eyes sting and his headache threaten to return with sharp shocks of pain.

                                              The light grew, widening outward until it was several feet long, and many more high. A door.

                                              Cassius’ heart thudded in his chest.

                                              Laughter echoed in his mind.

                                              ” On your knees to greet me?” the voice was sharp and rich, and coiled into Cassius’ ears like sweet cream ” Yessss, I think you’ll do fine.”

                                              Cassius did not move to rise. “Do fine? No, my doings are multitudes better than fine, but you’ve mistaken me for someone offering to help you.

                                              The laughter stopped abruptly, and the silence stung more than the tolling had.

                                              ”Do you know who I am, you disgusting sack of meat? What I am? You will learn and you will listen. You summoned me, and you will learn your proper place.”

                                              “Summoned you? I’ve summoned no-“ Cassius bit off the retort, his eyes growing wide. His next words came out as a gasp,” A demon?”

                                              The voice was silent for a long stretch. Cassius flexed his fingers and bowed his head, averting his eyes, finally, from the light.

                                              ”You have opened a portal to the void. You’ve called me, and now you will serve me.”

                                              A demon! He summoned a demon. A true, living demon. Cassius could not remember how, or why, but it had been done. It wanted him as a servant, as a means of entering the world. It found Cassius worthy of that role. A whimper escaped his torn lips and he dropped prostate to the ground,” Yes. Yes!”

                                              ” That’s better, little meatsack. Much better. But I cannot manifest in your world unless you make me a promise. A sacrifice.” There was that sweet honey tone once more.

                                              “Of course. Anything.”

                                              ” I need your will. You will serve me without question, without hesitation. You will not be able to disobey me. You will be my servant, eternally, unerringly.”

                                              “Yes!”

                                              ”Swear it, my little meatsack.”

                                              “I swear my servitude to you. My loyalty. Now until the end of my being.”

                                              The light snapped shut.

                                              Cassius jerked upward, face pale, heart hammering. The demon… where was the demon…?

                                              A small… dog… padded into view and shook its fur off. A ring of floating light wavered around its neck, then twisted itself into a loose ribbon-collar around its neck.

                                              Cassius tried to surge to his feet, but found he couldn’t. “You’re not a demon,” he spat, teeth bared.

                                              The puppy sat, cocked its head, and snarled a slick grin at his new bond. ”I never said I was.”
