Character Roster

It started when several strange books were discovered beneath a school in upstate New York.  No one knew where they came from, who wrote them, or how old they were, only that there was something unusual about the otherwise blank pages wrapped between plain, black and brown leather covers that were completely unmarked by time or the elements.  They were quickly forgotten since no one could write in them without the ink disappearing, and the pages remained blank no matter what was done to them to reveal what was possibly hidden.  The books themselves were immune to damage, fire didn't burn them, they didn't get water logged, and trying to tear them apart was an exercise in futility.

Inevitably they wound up in an old warehouse, where they just up and vanished one stormy day, only to reappear several years later halfway across the city, where they waited, biding their time for the right people to come along to unlock their secrets.

Because when that happens, and the chaos has spread sufficiently far and wide, then...

Hell won't be far behind.

For those that don't know, Bible Black was an older hentai series that had at least two spin offs/sequel series done for it, detailing the goings on of a little black book of magic making its rounds through a small city in Japan, originating in a school's secret basement that one student accidentally uncovers.  There were the occasional blood sacrifice, a lot of futanari transformation sex, at least one demon summoning that ended in a semi violent rape of one of the summoners, and just wild and crazy sex between women and the occasional guy throughout.  Point being, this would be pretty crazy in terms of what's allowed, but there WOULD hopefully be a chance for character development and story relevant stuff going on rather than pages of endless smut.  Not that there's anything wrong with that of course, but I prefer story and plot to sex scene after sex scene.  I DO want there to be pretty crazy stuff involving demons, virgin 'sacrifices', and whatever else we can cook up though, but story should take priority.  The premise though is that these books are 'sentient' in that they WANT to be read, and they want people to use the power contained within their pages.  Kinda like the Darkhold from Agents of SHIELD if you want a recent comparison, which was able to corrupt anyone, regardless if they were human or android, who made the mistake of reading from its pages, which adapted itself so that it was legible to that individual person.  If you spoke German, it wrote itself in German, French, or code if you were a robot, the result was the same.  In exchange for forbidden knowledge and power, you wound up losing your sanity a bit.  For this, it'd be far less science and much more magically inclined, with each book holding the same information, BUT they'd adapt themselves in such a way as to be the kind of power that person desires most.  There's only seven, but I'm not going to put hard limits on what each contains, so long as each is unique to that person.  Anyway, this would be set in a New York city college, with a few city blocks worth of places to visit and the like, so feel free to include places your character likes to hang out at or work at if you wish in your background information.

At any rate, here's a basic premise of what I'm kinda going for currently.

Basic Premise

While this will be set around a college campus in the center of New York, (a bit of a drive from the Hamptons), this isn't going to be a school life centric RP.  The setting is more the area in and around the campus itself, with people going to work, living lives, just trying to get by, unaware that there's another world all too eager to try and subvert Earth by tearing down the walls separating the two worlds.  It's a VERY long term plan, so while that's on the very distant horizon, the focus is more on the people, demon, hunter, or otherwise, just doing what they do for whatever reason they get up in the morning.  Will there be sex and smut and all the rest?  Yes, but IT'S NOT THE FOCUS, the interaction between our characters, how they all fit into the city and life in general, despite their VERY different outlooks on life, is what I wish to bring to life.  Will there be magic and mayhem and all that?  Yes, but keeping a low profile so that the authorities or worse, hunters or rival demons don't pop up and wreck your day is of the utmost importance.  Having said that, ample use of magic is still more than welcome, especially if it leads to interesting chances for character development and the like.  :D  For now, this will start on Day 1, with a few IC threads for us to gather and operate in.  If we DO manage to get a Big Group board of our own, then I'll see about doing more personal threads for the various people here, such as a club of some sort for Sath'tan and the Book Holders, or some personalized house or apartment areas for people that want them.  The club might actually ending up being one of the starting areas, depending on what someone else ends up doing, but if not, I'll put together something for people to gather as they like.  Whatever the case, I AM hoping this makes it far.

As for a story, while for the time being it's mainly just giving people a chance to get to know their characters, there WILL be demonic threats that need to be dealt with before they can blunder their way out into the public eye.  Sath'tan and the Book Holders will have to aid their Silver Rose counterparts on occasion to stop the overall reveal of problematic demons who don't know the meaning of 'keeping a low profile', as well as rogue Hunters and the like.  There might also be a chance for some vigilante justice against serial rapists, mobsters, and whatever else you feel like throwing your demonic power at if such things pop up.  Overall though this is more a chance for people to have fun and do what they like for the most part.  Having said that, the 'Dark Plot' as this stuff would be collectively referred to, is completely optional for people to do as they wish or not, so don't feel obligated to make a character that would fit into being able to handle this kind of thing.  Just do what you feel comfortable in doing and there will be plenty for you to keep yourselves busy, promise.  :D

Guidelines

1:  The books WANT to be read.  Your native language will appear in the pages, allowing for perfect comprehension.  Having said that, they don't corrupt people.  People don't need the help to turn rotten when given god like power.  Power simply reveals who a person really is.  But corruption is still a thing by all means, just don't try to say it was the magic book that turned you into a madman/woman that liked to sacrifice small animals to appease your dark gods.  :P

2:  Each book is unique in the kind of power it holds for the person to study at their heart's content.  From blood magic rituals right outta Dragon Age, to summoning demons to do their bidding, whatever you want to go with, it's yours to do as you like.  Just be unique in what kind of magic you're going for, and while there can be rituals to BECOME a reality warping god, such a thing would take an immense amount of preparation and power to pull off.  Followers, the appropriate sacrifices performed at the right time, etc.  Basically, a long term project for ultimate power.

3:  This WILL be an Extreme RP due to the possibility of demonic tentacles, futanari, rape, demon summonings, blood and cum offerings, and magical 'coercion' resulting in dubious consent, among other things.  Futanari would likely be temporary unless desired, but love/lust spells and the like are entirely possible, and even encouraged.  ;D >:)

4:  Magic spells can be learned by anyone, allowing cult followers and the like to naturally gravitate towards a book holder, but only one person can hold only one of the seven books at a time.  They can only be passed down if willingly given, OR if the holder is killed off by someone desiring the power for themselves rather than whatever trickles down their way.  (Not all of the book spots need to be claimed, but we DO need at least three for a good amount of varied magic and stuff to go around.)

5:  This is a modern setting in our modern world, where magic, monsters, and all the rest are the product of fiction and myth.  Discovery by the wrong person could bring the authorities or worse down upon you.  (IE, don't be dragging succubi around behind you in public.)  :P  Also, just because you summon and bind a demon doesn't mean they're your slave.  They have their own thoughts, desires, and the like, which means if they have half a mind to, they WILL try to screw you over.  And since most people make the mistake of thinking magically bound demons are their slaves, you can imagine their 'pets' get understandably pissed off when treated like property.

Side Note

There's a couple of book series I've come across in recent months that actually explores the idea that demons summoned for various tasks actually hate being controlled, and actively try to weasel their way out of their bindings if their masters are abusive, which are quite often, or just overly controlling, either by tricking their 'masters' so they can kill them, OR they purposely misinterpret their orders so that they get so annoyed that their master makes a mistake, or releases them, allowing them to go back to where they came from.  Sometimes with their foolish master in tow.  Just something to consider for future plot points if nothing else.  ;D

6:  Demons CAN be used as an acceptable character, but they need to be in disguise while out in public at all times.  Also, certain plot related things will be important to those that do choose to do so because the magic from those books will slowly but inevitably tear down the walls between dimensions, making it much easier for Hell's minions to take over the world.  That won't be a thing for a very long while though, so feel free to go nuts.  ;D >:)  Having said that, the demons that ARE summoned all know exactly what those books are and what they're capable of, and they WANT the walls to come down.  They WANT Earth to become theirs, but NONE of them will be saying a word until its far too late to stop it from happening, should it happen.  Beyond that, feel free to corrupt your human companions to your little black hearts' content.  ;D

7:  Respect each other's O/Os.  That should go without saying of course.  :D

8:  Character limit is currently set to two per person.  Anything more will have to wait for the time being.  Also, scene tracking will also be required, please and thank you.  There will also be a header once the IC starts up, that WILL be required at the start of every post.

9:  I CAN and likely WILL change the rules and guidelines as the situation warrants, but the usual E rules apply as always.  Beyond that, I hope you guys have a fun time shaping this weird little world.  ;D

Acceptable character concepts

Average humans:  Anything from a college student to someone working a nine to five, to club owners and CEOs, as long as they're eighteen or older, I won't complain.  Variety is the spice of life though, so while this is set around a campus in the middle of New York, the more diverse the cast, the happier I'll be.  (Average humans have no limit currently)

Book holders:  Only seven may be present at any time, but while they're average humans otherwise, they're not to be underestimated even though keeping a low profile is key to their survival.  They're free to use their newfound power for whatever they wish, but no one should be holding mass ritual orgies or planning sacrifices for the time being.  (6/7 currently)

Demons:  From succubi to djinn, to nightmarish creatures with countless eyes, or a mass of slimy tentacles right out of Cthulu myth, demons come in countless shapes or sizes and are as alien in their thinking as you can get, while some go out of their way to blend in so they can leave a trail of corrupted souls behind them.  Strength for them, is everything, but strength comes in almost as many flavors, and often it's the unassuming ones you should be the most terrified by.  (2/4)

Cultists:  Every book holder inevitably ends up gaining the attention of willing followers, people who wish to learn real magic from someone willing to teach them, to those who simply wish to experience pleasure they can scarcely imagine in even their most depraved dreams.  Careful though, some aren't fans of waiting, and will take steps to kill a book holder if their desire for power is too great.  (Currently no limit)

Hunters:  While they're a largely disorganized lot, consisting of people who have come across something genuinely supernatural and not only survived the encounter, but have come to hate it with a passion, most are only slightly stronger and faster than the average person.  True hunters, as those who hail from the Order of the Silver Rose, are experts in the occult and have used that knowledge to stand toe to toe against full demons while doing their utmost to keep the population completely in the dark.  As such, they're good at infiltrating areas where demons tend to make their homes, or where suspicious magical activity is detected.  The last time such activity was discovered though, was the Roanoke Colony, where everyone just disappeared without a trace in 1590.  The Silver Rose, founded in ancient times, had found clear sign of a demonic presence, and had isolated the entire colony in a pocket dimension, only returning it once their job was done, sans people.  They've only grown stronger, more organized, and better trained in most cases since the early days.  (1/7 currently)

Ravished Knot cultists:  The granddaddy of cults, the Knots are the Silver Rose's depraved counterparts.  Their influence is felt from every shadow, with many members having ties or alliances with various criminal enterprises around the world, while the more seemingly mundane members acting as crooked cops, corrupt politicians, doctors, lawyers, and more besides, using their resources and talents to conceal and erase any and all evidence of their order's activities wherever they can.  A council of fourteen, seven humans and seven demons, leads and guides the rest of their members, while the rest ply their various trades to collect resources, sacrifices, wealth, and more, all so they can hold their dark celebrations and depraved rituals upon prearranged times.  New members typically consist of those who won't be missed, while the rest are brought in by family members and long standing friends among the cult.  (1/7 leadership roles.  Regular, new, or senior members have no limit currently)

Order of the Silver Rose - The Order has existed since the first demons pushed their way through the dimensional divide thousands of years ago.  They have done their absolute best to keep the general public blind to the supernatural, while fighting them with everything they have at their disposal, which is far more than most would consider possible.  While it takes an entire cell to destroy just one fully entrenched demon, destroy its followers, and to clean up the mess left behind, often by removing entire city blocks from this dimension and hiding it in a pocket dimension until all trace of their enemies' influence is erased, leaving those innocent caught in the crossfire either with their memories modified, or those who were actively aiding the demons dragged off to their secret bases to be....reprogrammed and cleansed, the Order are quite circumspect in their recruiting methods.  They only take those that they can mold into successful operatives, and while their training is the best since their elders, of which there are nine, all come from some kind of military background such as American Special Forces, MI6, the CIA, and more besides, the average Hunter are little better than Sam and Dean Winchester in terms of resources and skills.  The closer one is to the actual Order however, the more things become messed up as new recruits face greater and greater threats, anything from malicious spirits, to demons just trying to hide out in the human world, to full on demonic gods that would make Cthulhu run for the darkest reaches of space he could find.

The Order operates in cells, with only the nine elders having the whole picture.  All of the elders come from extremely old family lines, each specializing in a form of anti-demon fighting and supernatural abilities that, while some are all too obviously steeped in demon magic, all are geared towards destroying the threat that the enemy poses.  They've long since adopted the motto you have to fight fire with fire, since religious iconography doesn't work, reading from a Bible ends up with the would be exorcist being laughed at before summarily being disemboweled, and so called 'holy weapons' are mere annoyances.  Heavy arms fire however, flames from a flamethrower, often augmented by enchantments, and simply snapping a human sized demon's neck are all viable ways to deal with the more common variety of demonic invaders and hideaways.  The bigger, much more powerful threats are a much harder to contend with, requiring entire teams of Order sorcerers and wizards to restrain and nullify their powers, but the strongest of the Order's magical practitioners can do this on their own while their compatriots mop up what's left.

The Ravished Knot - For every Silver Rose cell, there's a cult set to counter them, but one stands above the rest for having survived since this shadow war began.  Sath'tan herself has worked alongside these secretive demon worshipers, having partook of more than one of their dark celebrations and the like, and had, at one time, even helped a group of their faithful set up a safe haven in Pompeii before its neighbouring volcano erupted, or rather it was set off by the Silver Rose.  What little is known about the Ravished Knot is that they survive by having agents in almost every illicit enterprise there is, which has allowed them to secure alliances with drug lords, various mob bosses, crooked cops, and slave traffickers just to name a few.  In exchange for their aid in keeping their allies out of prison, cleaning up crime scenes, and more besides, the Knot uses their influence in various courts of law and office, to keep their activities in cities around the world from being discovered while accruing sacrifices, rare reagents, and drugs from their underworld connections for their depraved rituals and ceremonies.  Those trusted enough are quietly brought in and initiated in Knot fashion, often through ritualistic sex with other members and their demonic allies, and magical bindings to ensure silence should they ever be caught and questioned.  Those who are caught, unless the bindings are broken before they can be activated, often suffer seemingly mundane deaths such as fatal heart attacks or brain bursting tumors and the like.

Unlike most cults with any history, assuming the Silver Rose hasn't wiped them from existence, the members of the Knot know that demons are not their slaves, and anyone caught abusing their dark allies are quickly dealt with in brutal, often fatal and drawn out fashion in full view of the gathered since executions are used as a warning to the rest.  The leaders are balanced between humans and demons, with seven on either side deciding such things as who should become a member, who should be allowed to stay, when and where their next gathering will be held, and much more besides, with each meeting of the council often devolving into a mass of writhing flesh and bodies locked in carnal bliss.  Recruitment into the Knot typically happens where people won't be missed.  Fresh converts are given hope, albeit at a price, and through a number of trials meant to corrupt them inside and out while introducing them to greater depravity, are made willing and devout followers of their dark ways.

[ZincStandard]

Possibly interested as a book-holder, with powers focused on transformation, both self and others, possibly involving demon symbiotes.

A couple questions: do we have to have a single main demon companion as a defined character?  And what exactly do you mean by "casual ons" and "casual offs"?  Is that things the character finds attractive that aren't directly sexual?

[Vergil1989]

Casual offs/ons are like do they like listening to music, reading fantasy, just casual hobbies and stuff.  :D

As for the magic thing, transformations are always fun, but keeping a low profile is key as I've said before.  But no, you DON'T need to have a demon companion, it's only there if you actually desire one, OR if someone wants to take the role of a demon companion for you.

[ZincStandard]

Alright, makes sense.  Don't worry, my character will be well aware of the importance of keeping a low profile.

Here's what I've got.  Not sure what point in the story you want to jump in at, whether it's just before the characters find their books, just after, once they've had them a while and started to experiment, or whatever you had in mind; I'm happy to rewind on the bio if you think it puts things too far ahead right away.

Name: Anais Roche
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Type: Magician (book-user)
Magical Specialty: Biomancy, spells that manipulate life and alter the bodies of living creatures.  A highly versatile field for a creative practitioner, biomancy can be used for anything from cosmetic modification, to healing, to granting the user or a subject superhuman physical abilities.  Anais has had particular success with a few spells that involve the grafting of symbiotic entities into her own body, and is eager to experiment further.

Appearance: Until recently, Anais hardly looked her eighteen years, barely five feet and a hundred pounds soaking wet.  This caused her no small amount of pain and envy throughout adolescence, as she watched all her friends grow up and develop sex appeal she felt she never got, and since acquiring her book, she's been making...modifications.  In the past few weeks, she's shot up almost six inches, and the hormone fairy seems to have paid a visit in impressive fashion.  Since starting her freshman year of college, she's been working on leaving her shell, dressing less conservatively and displaying newfound confidence, though she's still far from a social butterfly.  Of course, she's been careful to keep the more drastic changes a complete secret...

Anais' modifications

Ever cautious, Anais started out with small, cosmetic alterations--making herself taller, curvier, clearer skin and healthier hair, little things like that.  When that all worked, she stepped it up with more complex changes, like demonic tissue grafts to enhance her metabolism and immune system and stimulate muscle growth, though still nothing mundane genetics couldn't give the fortunate.  The book warned of side effects, and she did start to notice a few, like how she needed to eat a lot more, and went from masturbating maybe once a week to at least once a day, but it was nothing she couldn't handle.  It wasn't long before she felt bold enough to attempt a procedure that had caught her eye more than once while flipping through the book, titled "The Calling, Binding, and Implantation of the Aphotic Symbiont".

The book described a parasitic entity that, in its natural state, would invade a host's body, take control of their mind, and use them as a vehicle to hunt and spread its offspring; it also explained how the proper bindings could lobotomize it so that it would essentially behave as an appendage of its host, who would control it fully.  The results were everything Anais had hoped and more.  The implanted symbiont takes the form of a tentacle-like organ that emerges from her vagina, nearly a foot and a half long when fully extended, and capable of retracting within her body when she wants to hide it.  The organ functions as an ovipositor, yielding a solution of microscopic eggs and nutrient mucus; while the creature would normally compel its host to infect victims with its eggs, they can also be used as a powerful and versatile reagent in many rituals.  While Anais appreciates the utility, she mostly just enjoys having a tentacle cock, even if she has no plans to ever reveal it to or use it on anyone.  It does increase her appetite to the point where she eats noticeably more than most people, and can be rather distracting at times, but she finds the fun more than worth it.

Personality: To most, Anais is so quiet and shy as to be practically invisible.  Most would assume she's just a sweet-tempered, socially anxious nerd; only those few who have made an effort to get to know her know about her unusual interests and hobbies, like gory horror movies and occult mythology.  Despite her lifelong fascination with the macabre and horrific, Anais never really believed in magic or demons or anything supernatural--until she started experimenting with the book, that is.  While she's undeniably intrigued by the power magic offers, and wouldn't pretend there aren't many people she fantasizes about getting revenge on, she doesn't really want to hurt anyone.  She's well aware that what she's tampering with is dangerous, and determined to use it...well, not for good, exactly, but not for anything really evil at least.  Of course, when magic is involved, things rarely stay that simple...

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual.  Anais is a virgin and has never had a relationship, but she knows she's attracted to men and women both.

Bio: The idea of ever having any sort of power always seemed a distant fantasy for Anais.  At school, she was the nerdy weirdo no one wanted to hang out with, mocked and bullied by her female classmates, invisible to her male ones.  At home, the shadow of her father's scorn and bitterness hung over her constantly.  Being a straight-A student was a small comfort.  Horror stories and gory movies and fake black magic offered release, a way to let out all the frustration and anger when no one else was looking.

She'd lived in New York all her life, born into affluence if not fabulous wealth, the daughter of a bank manager and a stay-at-home mom.  She was only six when her mother was killed by a driver whose brakes had failed.  That was when it started with her dad...or maybe it was only then that she realized what kind of person he really was.  He never hit her, but she sometimes wished he would, just so she could write him off completely, instead of tearing herself apart wishing he'd stop looking at her like a burden and a disappointment.

Then, one night, while sheltering from her tormentors in a used book shop, she stumbled on an innocuous little black book without a title.  Figuring the rituals described within for more silly diversions, she tried out one said to summon a being that would answer any three yes-or-no questions.

She didn't even get as far as the first one she'd written down before panicking, screaming out the banishment command.

It took her a month to work up the courage to even look at the book again, this time with fresh eyes.  She contemplated destroying it, but that could bring some kind of curse on her, if it even worked.  She thought about throwing it away, but then it would just end up in someone else's hands.  None of that mattered, though, because she didn't want to give it up--she needed to know more.  She wasn't going to be reckless about it, though.  She'd take it slow, start small, try one thing at a time, make sure no one found out and nothing got out of her control.  It wasn't hard to decide what she wanted.  She wanted what she'd never had: power.  Beauty.  Sex appeal.  There were times, certainly, when she contemplated revenge, but those thoughts never lasted long.  That wasn't who she was.  And there was no way something like that wouldn't get out of hand immediately.

She hardly noticed the last weeks of high school pass by, and when she stayed shut up in her room all summer, it looked like business as usual to everyone else.  The promise of college called to her, a fresh start, her chance to shed the cocoon and begin a whole new life where no one would remember the old Anais.  She stepped up her experiments, testing her skills with more difficult spells, getting ready.  No one was going to ignore her or bully her anymore.  Not ever.

Casual ons: Horror fiction, goth music, drawing, poetry.
Casual offs: Sports, shopping, dating apps.
Sexual ons: Romance, monsters, light bloodplay, transformation, tentacles.
Sexual offs: Being degraded, being restrained, noncon, toilet play.

[Vergil1989]

That's actually fine.  As long as people aren't already super powerful masters of their various 'crafts' or areas of studies, I don't see a problem with what you've put together Zinc, so you're good as far as I can see.  Personality and your background could use a little more, and she DOES need to be a year older more for my personal comfort than anything related to E.  I just feel comfortable with 18 and older is all.  :D  As for my own character, she's more to give an idea of just how inhuman these guys can be.  She pretends, she's really good at pretending she's a mundane, everyday gal, but in truth she's ALIEN! with a capital ALIEN!.  She could give a damn about this planet full of apes barely evolved enough to scratch their own asses.  :P  That and I figured I'd at least get someone I can throw at you guys if things get slow or what have you.  I'll finish up soon, just getting a good picture for her real face has taken a huge amount of time since I wanted something that was still vaguely human, but otherworldly at the same time.

EDIT:  I was able to get a ton of stuff into her note section.  Feel free to peruse when you get the chance.  Nothing too detailed at the moment, but it should give a little bit of needed intel for you guys.

Real Name:  Sath'tan
Alias:  Lilith Takemi
Real Age:  3,000 years old.  (Barely into her 30s in human terms)
Her 'human' Age:  24  'Born' July 1st, 1994
Gender:  Female.  (Technically futa since demons can change their appearance at will.)
Book Holder:  No, but she prefers a few spells running the gamut from blood magic, meant to cause extreme arousal and mental domination in her victims, erasing or modifying memories to keep her supernatural activities a secret, to causing corruption within anyone she hangs around long enough.  She's also able to summon tentacles and demons from her home dimension.  Just because she can't go home again doesn't mean she can't bring home to her.

Sath'tan's spells

This isn't a comprehensive list, but they are the ones she uses the most often when she can get away with it.
Blood Manipulation:  Just as it it says on the tin, Sath'tan can manipulate the blood inside of a person or an animal with near flawless ease.  This can be anything from twisting the limbs of a person until they snap, to paralyzing someone on the spot, or inducing various mental and emotional states as she desires, often without the victim being the wiser to the change.  Anything from budding if crippling arousal, to uncontrollable rage, to even outright manipulating someone's memory, although this last one takes a considerable amount of effort to pull off since a victim must be mentally weak or unconscious from strenuous activity such as sexual congress, severe stress or disbelief, or having been subjected to some form of torture.
Blood Magic:  Unlike her manipulation ability, Blood Magic allows her to pull the very liquid from a person's veins to fuel her power so she can summon demons from her home dimension to do her bidding.  Typically she has to cut someone first before she can draw any blood from them in such a way, but humans are so fragile.  The bigger the sacrifice, willing or otherwise, the more she can do.  She typically keeps a spare sacrifice for her summoned minions to do with as they please, but the 'purer' the offering, the more power she can get from their blood.  She can also her power over blood to read a person's mind, often resulting in extreme mental anguish for the victim, as well as boil someone's blood while it's still in their veins, although she has to use some of her own to pull that off.  Turning someone's blood into razor sharp crystals and having those explode outward is exceedingly messy, and isn't easily covered up, but sometimes she just wants to see someone die in mind rending agony.  She can slow it down, make the crystals very small so that they tear up someone over a long period of time, prolonging the pain and her personal enjoyment in the same breath.  She CAN use her own blood, but while powerful, it leaves her weak to do so for too long or for something too big for her to handle alone.  There are alternative sources of power, such as cum or vaginal fluid, but collecting it is too much trouble at times, especially if she's in an emergency situation, and it doesn't typically last long outside the body in any event.
Corruption:  It comes in a few flavors, but the most common is her ability to corrupt her environment.  Her house in the Hamptons hasn't been given the corruption treatment yet, but most of her other establishments and homes around the world are 'marked' by her presence in some way or another, allowing the walls to 'bleed' on her command, opening small holes between the dimensional divide that seal up quickly once they're no longer in use.  The corruption is a physical manifestation of her home dimension, allowing it to consume and change everything it touches.  The walls pulsate, the floor becomes slick with fluid, and the ceiling often contains tentacles and sucking appendages, all meant to induce pleasure in a victim, or to hold them still as their skin is slowly flayed off an inch at a time.  In an actual person who spends too much time around her however, it's....different, in that she manifests microscopic amounts of her home plane's influence just by being in the same room.  Over a long period of time, a person's personality changes, becoming more aggressive, more prone to sexual activity, and ultimately more suggestible towards....darker forms of entertainment and self preservation.  Crime becomes easy, drug abuse is natural, and debasing themselves becomes a pastime at its most extreme level.  Time away from Sath'tan or her marked homes and establishments helps, but it takes almost as long to purge corruption in this fashion as it does to gain it in the first place.  Magical cleansings are an option, although the survival rate is questionable depending on the method used, but repeated, prolonged exposure seems to work faster in someone who's been cleansed in such a fashion as the soul has been weakened by these opposing forces.  And after a certain point, cleansing is no longer an option in any event.

Demon companion:  Currently no.  (Open for someone to take over though.)
Appearance: 

Current form

Personality:  'Lilith' is desire personified.  While she's currently masquerading as a young college student going for a Masters in business, (she's gotten several under various names), she absolutely hates it on Earth.  She hates the apes that have taken over a world that should've belonged to her kind eons ago, but until the day comes that she can drop her charade, she's content to party, fuck, and corrupt anyone she can get her claws on without the greater population being any the wiser.  Normally she appears as a tame, sedate college girl from a good family, with quite a bit of money at her beck and call.  In reality, she's probably one of the single most influential people to walk across the street, with at least a small crowd of lost, soon to be corrupted humans hot on her heels which she gladly sets loose on the world to further spread chaos and discord wherever they go once she's grown tired of them.  Those same people normally don't have a clue of what she's done to them, leaving their families to wonder why their star pupils and athletes have taken up drugs, casual sex, and worse.  But with the resurgence of the books finding new owners, her hope of taking this world from humanity, which had been vacant for hundreds of years, has started to return once more....
Sexual Orientation:  Pansexual.  There's very few people she wouldn't fuck, literally or otherwise.
Bio:  Three thousand years ago, Sath'tan was sent to Earth with a very specific mission.  Take several magical spell books to another world, and slowly wear down the walls between realities, allowing the rest of her kind to flood through the tears, consuming all in their path.  It was a task she was happy to perform, except someone she once trusted, as far as demons could trust each other, decided to screw her.  Tricking her into making it so the books would only accept those they deemed worthy of their contents, that had the most potential to fall the farthest, given time, thus drawing them closer to their Hellish dimension through their own actions, Sath'tan used her considerable magic to bind the books in the way her 'friend' had recommended since it seemed like a good idea at the time.  It was only after it was done did she realize her mistake, and that her superiors received an anonymous tip she knew had come from her former ally.  Lilith, once it was discovered the books had taken on a mind of their own as an unexpected side effect of her spell, was exiled to Earth to live out the rest of her eternal life until she had undone her mistake, or until the dimensional barriers had been torn down, whichever came first.  Unfortunately she made her spell too well, ensuring the nature of the books would never be altered again, even by her.

She spent the first thousand years in hiding, watching the world change from the shadows.  She watched entire empires rise and fall, cities springing from the dust only to sink back into the muck, and technology began to leap forward well beyond anything even she'd have ever imagined.  Despite growing to absolutely loath the humans that soon overtook the world that should've been theirs a long time ago, Lilith, as she'd started to call herself, slowly came out of hiding and integrated herself with those same filthy beasts she so despised.  In fact, she grew to love being able to manipulate them, of making them forget the more supernatural aspects of her very presence, while leaving them corrupted, broken shells of their former selves.  The 'purer' or more talented the individual, the more she enjoyed tearing them down, stripping away their morals and better qualities, introducing them to a world of depravity they could have never of imagined without her 'guidance'.  Having since gravitated to New York, Lilith has taken to masquerading as a college student, attending one of the most popular colleges in the state under the charade of obtaining a Masters degree in business.  In truth, she's sensed the return of the books, and the fact that they've started to pair off with their chosen human counterparts hasn't escaped her notice.  As such, she is very excited to see what comes next, and to help....guide those that are so reluctant to push the limits of their newfound power.
Casual ons:  Hot cocoa, heavy metal, cheer-leading, swimming, well cooked meals, books that make her think, and surprisingly, long walks through nature trails and the like.  Has a fondness for dogs, although they tend to glow with fire and have burning yellow eyes by the time she's done with them.  Purity is something she immensely enjoys in stripping away as well.
Casual offs:  Religion, not because it hurts her, she just hates it on principle.  Reality TV, no, just no.  Cats, idiots, and dubstep music, if it can be called music anyway.
Sexual ons:  BDSM, tentacles, futanari, drugs, partying, drinking, bloodplay, piercings, tattoos, collars (magical of course), dubious consent, corrupting the innocent/pure/talented, blindfolds, gags, handcuffs, sensory play, etc.  (There isn't a lot she WON'T do.)
Sexual offs:  Beasts, incest, outright rape, death, mutilation, bathroom play

Additional Notes/Photos/Music/etc

Hell Dimension notes - Hell has a very rigid hierarchy ruled by the strongest alone, with the top demons being near god like, if not actual gods among their kind.  While everything from the lowliest demon to those same god kings and queens can be summoned, assuming enough power and their true name is discovered, the highest ranking demons have large, city sized kingdoms full of their 'loyal' subjects.  Loyalty is fluid, but the chaos is at least controlled for the most part, allowing for a great deal of safety for the cautious and the wary.  However, demons come in a dizzying array of shapes, sizes, and more, and strength can come in quite a few flavors.  Intelligence, charisma, raw power, magical aptitude, it matters little, only that the individual demon stands out from the crowd.  Someone like Sath'tan has more than made herself distinguished, despite being exiled, and has dragged more humans down than any demon that's been sommoned by mistake by a people that has forgotten that magic and monsters are more than myth.  Having said that, demons don't care about the guilty, only that if someone isn't stupid enough to get caught.  Sath'tan is the perfect example of what not to do, and her only real mistake was trusting another of her fellow demons, who ended up betraying her after tricking her into doing his bidding.  As such, her superiors, despite having likely figured it out, only punished her because she'd been stupid enough to fall for such a trick.  Revenge however, is her to claim, should she be fortunate enough to find the 'man' responsible for her exile on Earth a little over three thousand years ago now and counting.

Lilith's current home
Her New York estate in the Hamptons is isolated enough that there's little chance her demonic undertakings will ever be discovered, while giving her a measure of luxury and comfort she couldn't find anywhere else in this particular city.  On the surface, the estate and its surrounding grounds look utterly mundane, and for the most part there's nothing special about the place other than its one of the most expensive plots of land in the entire state.  She's made some....modifications however to the basement area, having turned it into her personal playroom full of every toy one could possibly imagine, while ensuring it's completely sound proofed for her privacy, and to ensure that no one can hear her playthings' screams as she ravishes their every hole to her heart's content.  Not that many ever leave her little playroom nothing short of completely satisfied and blissed out of their minds of course.

Ok.... I'm gonna just save a spot here. You know I can't resist playing a demon  >:) Let me know if anyone is interested in a male Jinn type demon so I can work on a character sheet....

[Vergil1989]

I'm just happy you accepted my invite Shii.  :D  Do you mean a Djinn type of demon or something else, because the only Djinn types I know of are usually evil genies that purposely screw over people.  Either way, I'm curious, and 'Lilith' could use someone she can actually rely upon, someone to run her businesses or what have you until she's 'old enough' in her current human disguise to take over as she usually does.  And no, there won't be a betrayal, or someone taking over what's hers, so get rid of that idea.  :P

Oh yeah I couldn't miss it  ;D   Why yes I do mean Djinn. They are a bit more complicated than that but yes. Hmmm I'll have to think about that. Sounds like a tempting offer.....

Really, how so?  I'm genuinely curious about what you know, especially since all I know about Djinn came from some old movies collectively called Wishmaster.  ;D

To everyone else, to clarify, the setting will be in and around a college campus area.  It's in the center of New York, so whatever you'd expect as far as businesses and the like would be up for grabs.  I also have a fair amount on the Hell dimension in Sath'tan's notes section, as well as her estate in the Hamptons that will likely be a place for people to visit and/or wind up her personal plaything.  Mostly she'll just have wild parties full of drugs, alcohol, and orgies most likely.  :P

Mildly important notice.  :D

I've added some acceptable ideas for character concepts for you guys to consider.  While I'm open to suggestions, those are the ones I see getting the most attention currently.  I'm limiting demon spots pretty severely only because they're the most powerful, with the Hunters from the Order of the Silver Rose being a close second.  I haven't detailed them yet, both because I only just thought of them lol, but also because I'm curious what you guys might come up with.  Anyway, see ya!

[TheHangedOne]

Name: Erik Smith
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Book Holder: Yes: The Book of Dubious Draughts, Calamitous Concoctions, Prosperous Philters, Exciting Elixirs, and Perverse Potions: In addition to being perhaps the most long-winded of books, both in terms of names and in its actual volume, and tendency to drone on and on for forever, this book contains all the necesarry information to both cultivate ingredients for, and how to properly brew, all manner of elixirs, potions, teas, brews, and so on and so forth. This Book essentially turns someone into an alchemist, though turning lead into gold pales in comparison to what other things it can do. Most potions brewed in the correct manner (there's always room for error; don't want to brew it too long, too short, at the wrong temperature, need precise measurements, etc.) have a desired effect, and a length to them. Minimalist changes can generally be drawn out for long periods of time, while stronger draughts tend to have little lasting power; sure it might be impressive to assume a demonic visage, and all the strength it entails, but that's going to last you a minute at most, and then you're back to normal... and you probably ruined whatever you were wearing and/or carrying with you, too. Something like cat vision, which is a minimal change in the grand scheme of things, could easily last a week; but you'd constantly be having to harvest more ingredients, make more potions, etc. because these things are all temporary.

Furthermore, the 'weight' or 'cost' of ingredients scale appropriately. You want to assume a demonic form? Good luck getting some ground up devil horn, or blood from one of them. You want to make an aphrodisiac potion to spike the punch bowl with? You're gonna need a lot of... sexual fluids. Want another hundred years of youth or the like? Good job, you're going to become a murderer, because you're gonna need all that vital essence stored in the body, and I can guarantee you that is going to be a bitter brew.

While the book might be able to accomplish what other books can, the main point is that all effects are temporary; he might be able to make a magical 'bomb' (think alchemist's fire from D&D), but that's nothing compared to someone that can just throw a fireball around on a whim, as said magic bomb would require days of cultivating ingredients (if you can't just outright purchase them), and hours of brewing. He might be able to make a sort of 'polymorph potion' (again, inspired by D&D), but it's going to last a few hours or a day at most; a minute or two at the least. While the book is very versatile, it also requires dedication and precision, and its ability to emulate pales in comparison to the actual Books it can replicate (a potion that vaguely accomplishes the same thing as the Book of Symbiosis is capable of producing, for instance, might be a great idea to see if you're comfortable with the actual change... but you could end up spending so much time brewing potions, you can't actually enjoy the change). Also, potions have an expiry date on them; when you're combining demon semen with phosphorous, sulphur, essential oil of mint, and a whole frog, you don't exactly get a stable mixture that can sit on your shelf for years. And you can't just add a stabilizer to it to extend its shelf life; that would just throw off the mystic balance.

For beginners, most of his potions and the like are going to be based off of replicating intoxicating substances. As he works with alcohol already, making something like 400! proof (or 200% alcohol by volume) is probably one of the first things he could A) afford to make, and B) Understand how to make. But in time, replicating drugs, even 'purifying' them so you don't have the risk of physical addiction or the 'down' that comes from taking things (imagine a 24 hour acid trip with no risk of it going bad, and no come-down period) are a next logical step... then we start getting into the really weird things.

Demon companion: Khajiit the Cat (short-furred, black, with a white, heart-shaped splotch of white on his chest) [Actually not a demon, and just his pet cat... for now]
Hunter: Nope.
Appearance: At 5'6, and 200 lbs, Erik is a little shorter than average, though he looks far slimmer than his weight would suggest (he wears it well). He has shoulder-blade length brown hair with naturally occurring blond highlights, which have, in years past, been the envy of many girls; lustrous locks like those don't come around naturally all that often. He has brown eyes, but likes to fool around with cosmetic contact lenses; you know, the sort that make you look like you have cat eyes or the like. 
Personality: Quirky to the point that some of his Pagan friends have called him either a changeling or "Fae-taken",  he delights in puzzles, riddles, and enigmas. He likes to learn new things for the sake of learning them, and generally seems content to just be left alone to do whatever it is he is doing (which currently is bartending, where he likes to experiment with mixology).
Sexual Orientation: Bring on the girls!
Bio: Something of a savant when it came to life, he coasted by more on innate talent than actually learning, until he slammed into a glass ceiling and found out that maybe he should have paid better attention in high school instead of just trying to outmaneuver and outtrick everyone with his keen insights and perceptive mind. He eventually found contentment in studying to be a mixologist (that being a fancy name for a bartender that serves fancy drinks), but above and beyond that, he took an interest in homebrewing as well. He saw so many potentialities in the mixing and matching,  and joy in the process of experimentation; even when the drink was an utter failure, it simply taught him something new.

Some people might take that as an indicator that he is an optimistic fellow. He's much more middling then that, however; he is deeply discontent when failures produce nothing worth learning, hates 'snobs' (the definition of which seems to change from month to month), and loves to people watch. He finds social interactions draining, however. He enjoys studying occult things from time to time, ultimately hoping to recreate some of the 'magical elixirs' mentioned in many old school legends and tales.

He considers himself an Animist, and views concepts like Good and Evil (notice the arbitrary capitalization) as basically being non-existent [which may be an attitude that changes, given the story; but it is his starting point]. He likes philosophy, and cultures, finding these enigmas in particular to be hard to solve, and therefore, all the more fun when he makes some progress in it. He also does not believe in what most people commonly call Chaos, instead opting to opine that "there is an order we know, and an order we do not know. Everything is ordered; therefore, Chaos can not exist", which probably sounds better on paper, and in person (where he can be quite passionate), but may--again--be an idea that changes when his cognition is challenged hard enough.

His taste in music is pretty eclectic, citing quite accurately that the only things he will not listen to are "rap and country", but he shows a strong preference towards electronic music, and everything that falls under that umbrella.  Perhaps strangely, he also enjoys some of the old school, hard rock and roll and metal; Black Sabbath and Metallica, for instance, with some Grunge (He might have grown up post Kurt Cobain, but he does love Nirvana). He often likes to incorporate musical references, and more obscure things, into his common communication, resulting in someone who can be quite the enigma all on his own.

Ultimately, he's a bit of a weirdo, but he does his job well, has an awkward sort of charm about him, and often ascribes cat-like traits to himself (he actually is light sensitive, and so does see better in low light conditions; good agility and sense of balance; a mercurial attitude; and he's all but perfected the Cheshire Grin).

Born in Massachusetts, with an older brother and a younger sister, he was the somewhat stereotypical middle child that got ignored; left to his own devices. He was content to slip under the radar, as it were.  His parents were hardcore atheists, but in their own way, rebels that flaunted the system; the father was a stay at home dad, a 'house spouse', while his mother was a geneticist. His interest in the occult and becoming an Animist could be seen as an extension of his 'rebellious teen phase', in a sort of... mirror of what happens with people born into religious families but then deviate towards agnosticism or atheism.

To the best of his knowledge, his older brother went on to become a surgeon, and made their parents quite proud, sticking to the Boston area; meanwhile his sister eventually drifted off to who-knows-where. Her act of rebellion was to just up and skip town one day with her boyfriend, and she didn't even graduate high school (though she got a GED).

The bar he works at is somewhat upscale; some might call it posh, while others would call it a hipster place. He doesn't care who his clients are; he is just content to mix his drinks, and gather tips. He lives in a small studio apartment, and while it is nice in terms of location and layout, it's something he can barely afford to make ends meet with. He usually sells some of his home-brewed liquors on the side, which is pretty illegal, to help cover unexpected expenses.

He remains disconnected from his family, shunning most forms of social media (he does have facebook and the like to promote his skills and get people's interest in the bar, but this is done as a calculated way to drive up clientele and therefore the amount of tips he can make; turning it more into a chore than a passion).

He doesn't keep many friends, but does have a few regulars of the bar he enjoys the company of.  He's stayed in New York because that's where he ended up going to study mixology, and simply had no desire to move back to his place of birth.
Casual ons: Puzzles, riddles, enigmas, drinking, the smell of mint, chocolate, experimenting!
Casual offs: 'Snobs'[however he defines that, it's inconsistent], teetotalers, anti-science types, the overly devout.
Sexual ons: Sex hasn't played a big role in his life, as he tends to dedicate his time to work and experimentations. He's experimented a few times, but has not yet figured out what he likes [light BDSM is, in fact, his 'thing', he just hasn't figured it out yet]. He likes the classical hourglass figure on a woman.

[ZincStandard]

That's actually fine.  As long as people aren't already super powerful masters of their various 'crafts' or areas of studies, I don't see a problem with what you've put together Zinc, so you're good as far as I can see.  Personality and your background could use a little more, and she DOES need to be a year older more for my personal comfort than anything related to E.  I just feel comfortable with 18 and older is all.  :D

Totally fair, Anais will be 18.  If you want this to focus on a college setting, shall we say she's a new freshman arriving for whatever semester is currently starting?  If she's just arriving at a new school, that'll change her behavior somewhat, as she'll probably flaunt her new look more and be a bit more confident, since she doesn't have to worry about people she's known for a long time getting suspicious of the sudden change.  Also, I think her specialty is gonna be biomancy, which is a little more broad and flexible while still keeping the theme of body manipulation and including the whole demon symbiote graft thing.  Oh, hey HangedMan, this is a little awkward.  Whether I expand Anais' specialty or not, the power set you describe is pretty much identical to what I'd pictured her using (though the squick levels might be a little different, and it sounds like yours might involve less tentacles).  I'd have no problem with another biomancer in the game, since the books all contain the same knowledge, and it could make for a good colleague or rival relationship between the two once they learn of each other's practice.  But if you want to differentiate things more, we can figure out a way.

Vergil, what kind of stuff are you looking for me to add to her personality and background?  Questions would help me develop her further.  Also, how much do you want to know about the changes she's made to her body already?  Not sure how much you want things our characters keep hidden to be open secrets OOC, or save them as surprises for when they come up.

[TheHangedOne]

As long as Vergil is okay with two people performing biological shenanigans, I'm game for it. And yeah, they could easily conspire; with or against each other. I also saw the underlying methodology and philosophy of the two books as being somewhat different.  And I think you nailed it on the head when you said 'less tentacles'... his book is probably a bit more squicky. If you wanted to branch things out a bit, maybe your character focuses on making/finding/binding stronger symbiotes, or even fusing two weaker ones together to produce a stronger/more varied one? They could make something a bit like Frankenstein's monster with these fusions (I was actually thinking something along the lines of Magatama from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne when I glanced over your sheet), whereas my character is more about making people into monsters... or "angels", or whatever word he happens to want to use to describe them as.

Either way, I'm more than happy to change things around to make sure there's not too much overlap going on.

[Vergil1989]

I've made some changes to the character sheet, mainly added a section for potential hunters, as well as a request that if you use an Avatar pic, it be sized to 300 and aligned to the right.

And to answer your question Zinc, freshman's fine if that's what you want to do.  :D  As for adding a bit more to your profile, just more about where she came from, if she loved her family, what were they like, were they religiously inclined, just stuff like that and how it affected her growing up.  Hopefully that'll help fill out a little more both for your personality and history, Zinc

Same for you Hanged, although I'm also happy to see ya.  :D  As for the overlap issue, I don't see it myself.  There's enough differences between your methods that I don't see a problem myself.  True, there COULD be a little more variety, but at the moment it's not a bad thing I say.

[ZincStandard]

I guess my feeling on the overlap is, my main goal with Anais' powers was always to focus on the transformative aspect; the symbiote theme is just what I came up with as a suitably cool, creepy way for it to work, giving it a little more explanation and flavor.  Thing is, if you can achieve the exact same effects without having to shove slimy tentacled parasites into your favorite orifices, I don't really see why Anais would bother doing it her way, in-character.  When dealing with magic in these kinds of stories, I like to assume that nothing you want to do can come without some kind of horrific twist that you won't like, and you just have to decide if it's worth it or not; Anais would happily infest herself with demon parasites in exchange for superpowers if that was the only way to get them, but probably not if it wasn't, and anything she can do with less drastic modifications, she will.  Also, I guess I can't help but feel that, even if we describe our characters' methods as different, it won't really come across that well if the results are so similar, so it might be better to just lean into them being into the same stuff rather than try to distinguish them.  Just my thoughts.

I'll work on adding more to Anais' background going forward.  Vergil, let me know if there's anything in particular you want me to address that I seem to be neglecting.

[TheHangedOne]

Right. The price idea was in my head as well; what if something goes wrong, how do people cope psychologically with being changed, especially against their will, the actual pain of having what is essentially surgery done on you when you have nothing more than a good, stiff drink to anesthetize you.  But I can see where you're coming from, and you did have first dibs, so I'll sit down, and rework the character throughout the day.

[ZincStandard]

Thank you, I really appreciate it :-)  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Vergil1989]

Something I forgot, but as far as what's OOC and known to the players vs what's a secret, anything in a character sheet we might need to know should be visible.  You're more than fine to keep some of it vague of course, and I'm all for plot twists and stuff, but I at least need to know what you're thinking to some extent.  So if there's stuff you want to have happen to your character and you don't want to have off in your sheet, just send a message to my PM box or something.  That aside, everything should otherwise be visible at least in the sheet to some extent or another, but as our characters, we'd still have to discover it most likely.

And the way I'm going about my gal's blood magic is essentially a suped up version of blood magic right out of Dragon Age, with a bit of possible bloodbending from Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.  She's more interested in causing arousal, manipulating a person's mind, while also leaving it open she can corrupt someone over a long period of time both through her unnatural charm and by changing the environment around her so that it resembles her home.  While not so much blood related, she's still a demon, and while she can't go home again, she can at least bring a little bit of home to her.  Makes it useful in keeping her playmates quiet while she has her fun at least if nothing else.   >:)

[TheHangedOne]

So I changed up the nature of the book. I basically went 'full [not metal] alchemist' with it. This new concept is based off of the idea of Narco-alchemy from Unknown Armies, though can obviously greatly exceed it, given enough time.

Also, I totally imagine a 400 proof whiskey being exactly the sort of thing that a demon could actually get drunk off of.

[Vergil1989]

Okay that is actually genius Hanged.  I'm all for it.  ;D  Sath'tan would love your guy if he's able to get her drunk off her horned ass for a change without having to drink half of her own liquor cabinet, but joking aside, having a dedicated alchemist on her side would make for a very happy demon.  ;D  I've never heard of Unknown Armies, but the concept definitely appeals as does what you've created, especially since you and Zinc could easily make a fortune together by you giving people a sample of what could become permanent.

UA is a sadly very niche tabletop game that was overwhelmed by its competitors at the time; World of Darkness and Dungeons & Dragons. It still has a small core of hardcore dedicated gamers, and was a bit based off the Dresden Files, and a bunch of other things (there was actually the "dipsomancers" who cast magic by getting drunk off their ass; narco-alchemists made magical drugs, there was even Bibliomancers who acquired greater magical powers by gathering books, especially rare ones, and like two dozen others I can't recall). It was pretty neat, while it lasted, but there was all sorts of publishing issues and the like.

And yeah, I thought that the alchemy thing would be a good fit for him, while still providing some possible synergy with the real biomancer. He might be able to replicate a few things they can accomplish, but their effects are permanent; his wear off. Heck, if they really struck up some sort of trade deal, he could just dilute the potions, and be like "Here's a free one hour sample... drink responsibly [imp-like grin]".

Potions are always fun ;D

Added a little more about the modifications Anais has already done.  One in particular is kind of a big deal; let me know if it doesn't fit the game.

Huh, sorry to hear UA was all but forgotten since it sounds pretty fun to me.  Lol and nicely put there Hanged, I can just imagine that imp like smile already.  That aside, you DO need to add more to your history as Zinc has done, but otherwise I think you're good to go.

As for you Zinc, you're looking pretty good to me, and those modifications sound pretty good.  You COULD tone down her need to jerk off and eat a little bit more than you have, just so it's not quite so readily noticeable, but I am ALL FOR your girl having a tentacle cock slash ovipositor, so go nuts with that I say.  And she'll definitely be putting it to use, just so you know.  ;D

[ZincStandard]

I'm not picturing it being that noticeable--she eats enough that someone might think "wow, she eats a lot for a girl her size", but not crazy amounts, and she doesn't desperately need to jerk off multiple times a day, or indeed at all, she just likes to when it's convenient.  And of course she'll be putting it to use, she just doesn't know it yet ;D  Anyway, glad to hear you like her; can't wait to see this get started!

Added another two and a half paragraphs.  Hopefully that's enough; if not, mind giving me some prompts, pointing out anything I might have overlooked?

[Vergil1989]

Gotcha Zinc, thanks for clearin' that up.  :D

And Hanged, you have this funny habit of saying a lot of nothing.  :P  You have interesting information that could probably be added to his personality, but there's nothing in those new paragraphs that say where he calls home, what his family's like, or anything of that nature.  Does he have any siblings, relatives he's close to, does he have family in the military or church or what?  THAT kind of stuff needs to be included in your bio dude.  :D
