Character Behavior
Personality – Eddie is a demonic madman, while his form is ever-changing, his core remains the same. Inhuman, thirsting to take from all things living and turn the world into one he would favor well in. One ruling in the currency of torment, sacrifice, and depravity. He’s always seeking the dark side of things and finding a way to get it. His thoughts would not be entirely coherent. The demon is a creature of the night, driven not by mere desires, but instinct and fundamental need.

If there is a trail, this being will follow it. He is always selfish, a survivalist, and maybe something curiously and entirely something more that meets the eye. With him, there’s always a dark revelation, such is his creed and belief. He will always cast a shadow over light. He has a rotten heart and an empty soul that he eternally seeks to fill.

Eddie wants torture and pain for others, it pleases him to bathe in your screams. He does not care to make sense of this world or any. He is the culmination of the seven deadly sins, all that is flawed, all that is evil within man. For this, he’s a demon, through and through. Immortal, eternal like the night, he will always return for more.

He’s pretty satanic too, and he’s down to do a ritual whether the other has chosen to be a part of, or the sacrifice. However, one odd query of his desire is to tear down anyone who is self-righteous or a distinct hypocrite, for the way he views the world, he feels he sees it for what it is. Which would add a distant wisdom to summarize a situation or character in a new light.

Eddie doesn’t waste his time talking (particularly the human tongue), only when he’s heaped in anguish, or distinctly meeting a challenging foe. He will form words to counter someone’s every belief, most of his criticisms, while based in cynicism, will at least have some truths. So, if someone rules over someone else, he opposes their tyranny, understanding on some level why he hates them more than, say, an innocent bystander. Though he would naturally view them all as prey he would just resent them for different reasons. He’s unafraid to rip those who are weak to shreds, too. Lastly, he will scoff at his own pain while he laughs and bathes in the pain of another.

Whilst he hates hypocrites, he is not one. He knows he is a monster, and he will do well to make sure his foe does not ever forget it.

Physical Description:

Appearance – The ever-changing wraith of evil changes his appearance somewhat based on his surroundings or the world around him. He slinks in the darkness and appears anew as he exchanges one sickening form/personality for another. The cipher of death has a few recognisable congruences as follows: He has hollow black eyes like a skeleton, illuminated by a set of white balls of light that form hostile pupils and a face that looks far from flesh, but atop his face is a layer of stretched pale skin, like a withering corpse around his inhuman expression. When he has hair, it is white and fluttery, also corpselike.

Eddie does not always resemble a demonic human carcass and can appear as a creature as well, he’s fond of camouflage and the blood-starved chameleon can do it all. He has many forms, many ways, all of them lead to the haunt of whoever he sets his sights on.

Currently the urchin of death shall begin by taking the following form: A Stranger in a Strange Land

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fi/8/80/Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land_12.jpg

This entails a sprawling umber trench coat, the shadow of determination cast by his stetson. Cybernetics infused with bands of taught flesh, with some weapons underneath. Glowing red electric eye. With this, he’s got a bit of a bounty hunter thing going on.

Appearance in a youtube video of all the covers of the IM discography but warning the images are a little intense and grotesque!

Character History:

Eddie is a demon from Hell, come to wreak havoc and death on all worlds. He has no past and no future. He serves his master and does not remember the pact he made with evil, only that it has been done. His memory spans lifetimes on earth. It seems like he is scattered throughout the darkest moments of history.

Abilities/Skills:


Moves and stuff:
Shapeshifting all forms!- 1500

Eddie is an undead mascot of evil, delving into different forms is part of who he is. He never changes his face, and you could mostly tell who he is, or what he is amid the different forms. His demonic presence stays the same, his skin, like a chameleon, is what differs amid different situations.

Sense (Sight) R1: 75 E
-25 weakness, this will not work in the full light of day, or during a holy or divine illumination/ on someone who is wholly and entirely good he will have a tough time keeping track of, since his eyes will start to burn if he stares too long,

Eddie is a close-range demon, he watches from afar, but likes to be close to feel that which he sees.


Swathed in Night -Concealment (Sense) - 100 Essence - Sight

Weaves in and out of shadow and makes himself difficult to see by natural means.

Acid breath: 200

Rank 2 Damage (200E) = 100 x Rank 2
Ranged (+100E) = 50 x Rank 2
Affects Multiple (+100E) = 50 x Rank 2
Limited (-100E) = -50 x Rank 2 - Only works on slow-moving targets or targets in range
Indiscriminate (-100E) = -50 x Rank 2
Total Essence Cost: 200E


Eddie exhales a breath of whatever noxious gas is in his lungs and releases it to anyone around.


Bite 75
R1 Damage
-25 weakness, can’t bite through metal

Does this Effect have a negative outcome on you when you use it?

Eddie likes to aim for a weak spot on someone and chomps down through their flesh.

Hi there! Let's take a quick look at your abilities...

master effect: ritual?

Is this meant to be a Master Skill? Master Skills should have a Rank, a description and an Essence cost listed next to them.

Shapeshifting - 1000 Rank One

Eddie is an undead mascot of evil, delving into different forms is part of who he is. He never changes his face, and you could mostly tell who he is, or what he is amid the different forms. His demonic presence stays the same, his skin, like a chameleon, is what differs amid different situations.

If he can take on MORE than one other form, this would cost 1500 Essence rather than 1000 Essence. For example: a werewolf would have only a human form and werewolf form, so they would allocate 1000 Essence for this. A doppelganger could take on many other forms, so they would allocate 1500 Essence.

Sense (Sight & Hearing) 1: 200E (150)
-25 weakness, this will not work in the full light of day, or during a holy or divine illumination/ on someone who is wholly and entirely good he will have a tough time keeping track of, since his eyes will start to burn if he stares too long,

Eddie is a close-range demon, he watches from afar, but likes to be close to feel that which he sees.

I’m not understanding how this Weakness you have described applies to both Sight and Hearing. I can understand the Sight part of the description, but what about Hearing? If it only applies to Sight, just subtract -25E, not -50E.

Protection 1 - 100 Essence (50)
-50 indiscriminate (only do it on self)

Blistering pale skin forms the mummified demon that you see. It is taught and stronger than it appears when an anticipated attack is struck.

Your Indiscriminate modifier is not a valid use of that modifier. Indiscriminate is meant for abilities that might negatively harm your allies/unintended targets within your vicinity, not for abilities that only affect yourself.

Movement - 200 Essence (125)
REMOVABLE -50, if his focus is disrupted, or if he is bound he is unable to move in this sideways fashion
-25 weakness, this will not work in the full light of day, or during a holy or divine illumination

Eddie creeps along, slinking often in the dark. His movement could loosen gravity and make climbing trees, cliffaces, and gravity easier when he focuses or fitting in tight spaces with ease given his shapeshifting ability to contort himself. He looks pretty scary and unnatural when he moves across things.

For your Removable modifier, your current description does not sound like Removable. Instead, it sounds like Concentration, which means that your character has to pay attention to make the ability work. Removable, on the other hand, means that something can be physically taken from your character-- a physical object or item.

Adaptations: (600)
Starvation and Thirst (50)
Immune to Pain (You still take damage, you just don't feel it) (200)
Disease (50)
Nonbiological Anatomy (300)

Please provide a description for this ability!

Ooops I'll delete that

If he can take on MORE than one other form, this would cost 1500 Essence rather than 1000 Essence. For example: a werewolf would have only a human form and werewolf form, so they would allocate 1000 Essence for this. A doppelganger could take on many other forms, so they would allocate 1500 Essence.

(I see I need more essence! I'll bump them from the adaptations for now!)

I’m not understanding how this Weakness you have described applies to both Sight and Hearing. I can understand the Sight part of the description, but what about Hearing? If it only applies to Sight, just subtract -25E, not -50E.

That is a mistake on my part. just sight.

Your Indiscriminate modifier is not a valid use of that modifier. Indiscriminate is meant for abilities that might negatively harm your allies/unintended targets within your vicinity, not for abilities that only affect yourself.

The gas could and will harm anyone in the vicinity -friend or foe- but, not himself.

For your Removable modifier, your current description does not sound like Removable. Instead, it sounds like Concentration, which means that your character has to pay attention to make the ability work. Removable, on the other hand, means that something can be physically taken from your character-- a physical object or item.
Sounds good!


Please provide a description for this ability!
I will make these edits and update it!

Eddie is a close-range demon, he watches from afar, but likes to be close to feel that which he sees.

Since this is Sight Rank 1 (100E) with a -25E negative modifier, the total cost of this ability would be 75 Essence!

Protection - 100 Essence (50)
-50 indiscriminate (only do it on self)

Blistering pale skin forms the mummified demon that you see. It is taught and stronger than it appears when an anticipated attack is struck.

Why does this have the Indiscriminate modifier? The current description is not a valid application of Indiscriminate.

Acid breath: 25

Ranged +50
R2 Damage +200

-25 weakness, moves slow
-50 Chaotic is not easily able to be controlled
- 50 Finite
-100 indiscriminate


Eddie exhales a breath of whatever noxious gas is in his lungs and releases it to anyone around

Instead of the Ranged modifier, this ability would require the Affects Multiple modifier due to being able to affect “anyone around.” Also, please clarify in your description how this ability is Finite.

With these changes, you will need to redo your math on this one. Keep in mind that the overall cost of an Ability cannot drop below 50E per Rank of Effect. For this ability in particular, being Damage Rank 2, the total Essence cost cannot drop below 100E.

Also, remember that you should multiply your modifiers by the Rank of the Effect you are applying them to. For example, a -25E Weakness becomes a -50E Weakness on a Damage Rank 2 ability. -25E x 2 = -50E.

Bite (25)

R2 Damage 200
-25 weakness, can’t bite through metal
-50 Finite, his bite he either obtains flesh and mutilates his foe or doesn’t. He can’t latch on forever, and this effect will last less than 30 seconds
-100 SIDE EFFECT -50 PER RANK OF EFFECT- Side effect is that he can’t fully move in his state, since he’s latched on

Eddie likes to aim for a weak spot on someone and chomps down through their flesh.

Same as above. Keep in mind that the overall cost of an Ability cannot drop below 50E per Rank of Effect. For this ability in particular, being Damage Rank 2, the total Essence cost cannot drop below 100E.

Also, remember that you should multiply your modifiers by the Rank of the Effect you are applying them to. For example, a -25E Weakness becomes a -50E Weakness on a Damage Rank 2 ability. -25E x 2 = -50E.

Please message me if you need clarification, I’m available here and on Discord!

Acid breath: 175

Ranged +50
R2 Damage +200
+50 Affects multiple
-25 weakness, moves slow
-100 indiscriminate

Eddie exhales a breath of whatever noxious gas is in his lungs and releases it to anyone around.

Right now, this ability would actually cost 250E! Here's the cost breakdown:

Rank 2 Damage (200E) = 100 x Rank 2
Ranged (+100E) = 50 x Rank 2
Affects Multiple (+100E) = 50 x Rank 2
Weakness (-50E) = -25 x Rank 2
Indiscriminate (-100E) = -50 x Rank 2
Total Essence Cost: 250E

Also, "moves slow" does not really work as a Weakness. I'd change it to a Limited modifier and say something beside it like "Only works on slow-moving targets."

** As a general note, when writing abilities, you should describe why you included each of your modifiers in the description. It makes understanding how your ability functions much easier!

Once again, if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me.
