SOME WORDS WILL |

EZRE, or Ezrethal, is a crossroad demon. Soul-eating creatures that live in the void between worlds, crossroad demons never take human souls by force. Instead, they can be summoned by drawing and encircling a demon's seal in the middle of a crossing between worlds, uttering their name while offering blood -- upon which one can make a deal with them for virtually anything. Just in exchange for their immortal soul. Selfish, manipulative, sometimes too clever for his own good, downright unnaturally charming (supernaturally, even) with a silver tongue, Ezre may be tasked with bringing souls to hell, but he sure does make deals to his own personal benefit. He likes having fun, likes making interesting deals with interesting people, and genuinely enjoys his work, even has a sense of pride in it. It's not about twisting around words and invisible fine print to trick someone into paying a price. There's an especial skill in having all your cards out on the table, in everyone knowing exactly what's at stake, and just being good enough to convince someone to sign away their soul anyway. He has a fondness for mortals in a way, and spends much of his time in a human guise, walking the Earth, keeping an active eye on his bonded and interacting directly with mortals. He's amiable if not outright friendly with most other supernatural creatures, and more than most demons he even has a tolerance and curiosity about the Divine. He's loyal to hell and his king and master within it, but he still does like to test limits, and he can't help but wonder. Just what might happen, if a crossroad demon were somehow ever to get ahold of the soul of something truly Divine? |
