MarvelousMadman
Mutant in Training
Eris
Gender: Female
Species: Demon...more or less.
Age: Immortal...but appears to be late twenties
Sexual and romantic orientations: Does sadist count??
Parents: Mephisto (father) Blackheart (idiot brother)
Hero/Villain: DAUGHTER. OF. MEPHISTO. What part of that makes you think I like to donate blood on the weekends?!....well, not my OWN blood, anyway..
Hero/Villain name: Eris will do.
Physical description: Eris is a looker of lookers; she's been tempting mortals for hundreds, even thousands of years and she's very, very good at it. She stands at a towering six feet without heels, granted the body of a swimmer. Her muscles are quite taut which screams of athleticism, especially her calves. She paints her nails black....beware if they're red. That's not nail polish.
Her hair can change at any time, but when she's in her default form she prefers something dark with just a bit of an unruly flair...like a lock hanging to the side of her cheek or just a bit of a curl at the ends. Normally her skin is close to pale to better contrast against her dark locks and....anything red. She is a woman few would forget, due to a unique violet hue of her irises...unless she wanted you to.
Eris is a lover of chaos and disorder...though often to blend into the general populace she'll don a simple floor length black trenchcoat and boots with a violet blouse and black slacks that hug her legs and curves.
Powers:
Shapeshifting: Being a lover of chaos and discord, Eris often mimics others to breed mistrust or confusion. She can become nearly any one, but is limited by not having their memories. As such, she'll often spiritually track her prey to learn of them before committing to the ruse. She overcomes this, however, by her second ability.
Allure: Eris has a supernatural charm to those who look into her eyes. Even a glimpse is long enough. The longer they look, the more she has them under her control. Those with mental proficiency or a strong will take longer to allure or can resist it altogether.
Teleportation: Eris can teleport herself wherever she wishes at will as long as she knows of the location. This also allows her access to her father's realm at any time.
Conjuration: Eris can summon lesser demons to fight for her from her father's realm. They will fight to the death. She does not use this power often, save for when she is in desperate need or when she's just bored disposing of trash.
Infernal Blaze: Eris is able to conjure a form of fire to attack others. It is an infernal construct that works more along the lines of her conjuration abilities. In essence, she opens a 'vent' from the Infernal Realm to cook her enemies from a teleportation portal.
Superhuman: Despite her frame, Eris knows...and even LOVES...to throw down with the best. Enhanced strength, reflexes, and durability ensures the devil will always get her due.
Infernal claws: Eris can extend her demonic claws; able to scratch carbonadium, to attack her opponents. She'll often disembowel them or rip their head from the spinal cord right out to have them watch the final moments of their death....and she loves to crush their skulls until the juices ooze out over her fingers.
Infernal tail: As a shapeshifter, Eris can apply a nasty trick to her opponents by fighting with a third hand: a prehensile tail of demonic origin that can act like a razor sharp whip which can shred flesh and bone.
Telepathic Immunity: Coming from a family that prefers to invade and possess rather than BE possessed, telepathic or psionic attacks affect her like water breaking against a concrete dam.
Immunity to Penance Stare: As a demon, Eris lacks the one thing needed to enact the Rider's most feared ability: a soul. However there are ways, according to the ancient books of the Ashanti, that can place a soul within demons.
Likes:
-
The looks of her victims as they realize they've fallen into her trap, or realized the horror of what they've done.
- Creating a creative and devious method of causing absolute chaos or bloodshed...or both.
- The feel of fresh blood against her skin.
- The sight of blood or the screams of her victims.
- Twilight. It's a guilty pleasure that she finds a hilarious parody.
Dislikes:
-
Her brother's brash idiocy and the fact that HE is next in line to rule the Infernal realm at the demise of Mephisto
- Anyone breaking free of her control
- DOCTOR FRIGGIN' STRANGE
- JOHNNY FREAKIN' BLAZE
- Kanye West. She gets the idea of being evil and loves pride but seriously dude...take it down a peg.
Strengths:
-
Though she loves chaos, she is amazingly....terrifyingly patient in her projects; often denying instant gratification for the greater pleasure of acting at the opportune moment.
- She is a master at rhetoric and argument; well versed in crafting lies made to be believed as truth. As such, even the strongest of bonds can be broken by her if her victims are not careful.
- Her ability to teleport makes it nigh impossible to sneak up on her.
- Her allure ability can be turned to an intimidation effect, freezing her opponents in their steps from moments upon gazing at her.
Weaknesses:
-
As a slave to pride and the time she puts into her projects, abject failure is often accompanied in a complete maelstrom of rage and frustration.
- She is vulnerable to magic. Hellfire can hurt her somewhat, but not by Zarathos. Ice can slow her down.
- Powerful incantations can seal her into magical objects or banish her for a time back to the Infernal Realm
- Historical records indicate a being similar to her was on this earth hundreds of year ago. They forced it to retreat by using daggers of a metal that stops all force. It seemed to keep it from teleporting around for a time.
Bio:
Eris has been around for thousands of years, and she's perfected her craft at getting mankind to fall. She was there when Caesar was assassinated and Rome fell. She was there when Paris took Helen from Sparta. She was there when the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated to start World War I. She is a vain and haughty individual who views herself not just superior over everyone and everything, but views mankind and mortals in general as instruments with which she creates grand tapestries of chaos and disorder. In her youth she sought to please her father, Mephisto, in hopes that he would notice her skill and ability and promote her to take over the lesser realms. But NO. No matter what she did, Blackheart was ALWAYS his favorite! She nearly caused the complete extinction of the Dwarves in an implosive war over the clans, had her hands on Gungnir, and caused the Skrulls to attack the Kree in their first incursion...and yet...it was always Blackheart!!
Well now Eris has moved on to another plan; one that will be her masterpiece. After watching and participating in the horrendous and brutal wars with the Ghost Riders (Johhny Blaze and Daniel Ketch), she wills to do what her father...and CERTAINLY her brother could never do. She is currently at search for something...an item...a spell, it's hard to say what...but when she finds it, she'll have what her father and her brother could never have before:
Their hated enemy as her own lapdog.
