**Human Form**
Standing just over six feet tall, the first thing one would notice about the man is that he is exceptionally handsome, exuding a powerful presence that almost seems to pull you in with sheer force of gravity, drawing you to those haunting and somehow disturbingly attractive features. Possessed with an athletic and powerful frame wrapped in bronzed, almost russet skin, his upper body chest, shoulders and biceps - is rather heavily muscled while the rest of his body is simply pleasantly fit. An onlooker would almost come to suspect that this man's entire body was chosen and modelled by an outsider rather than born into, as if the entity that inhabits it had meticulously inspected the human race and its most attractive features and combined them into a single male body to inhabit that, while exceptionally pleasing to the eye, also gives off an undeniable, disturbing sense of wrongness in some deep recess of an observer's mind. The single most distinguishing feature of this supposedly human male, however, are those vibrant violet eyes that seem to almost glow at times. Only the most stoic could remain unaffected by that piercing gaze that seems to bore into your very soul, subtly hinting that it knows all your darkest secrets. Under that unsettling, haunting gaze mortals and angels alike could almost swear dark whispers can be heard in the back of their minds, promising all their desires fulfilled and more one moment, the other urging the victim to perform fell deeds. Whatever the cause, most would find it difficult to focus underneath his intent, captivating scrutiny over prolonged periods. Meanwhile, his voice is a rich, deep one that seems to only add to his charismatic demeanor, almost a little too pleasant to listen to. **True Form (True Seeing will reveal this)** Towering over ordinary men, this broad-shouldered, muscular fiend stands sixteen feet tall. With thick russet skin and four arms two heavily muscled ones ending in razor-sharp pincers that could cleave a man in two, and two smaller, human-like ones ending in claws this abyssal beast looks more than capable of holding its own in physical combat. Its doglike head is horned and its muzzle is full of sharp teeth. Despite the fiend's bestial appearance, it is by no means unpleasant to look at, possessed with a strong body and a charismatic presence; and in an utterly disturbing way one could almost say he is handsome for a fiend. There is a distinct malevolent intelligence in its vibrant, glowing violet eyes. Only the most stoic could remain unaffected by that piercing gaze that seems to bore into your very soul, subtly hinting that it knows all your darkest secrets. Under that unsettling, haunting gaze mortals and angels alike could almost swear dark whispers can be heard in the back of their minds, promising all their desires fulfilled and more one moment, the other urging the victim to perform fell deeds. Whatever the cause, most would find it difficult to focus or look away from the fiend's intent, captivating scrutiny over prolonged periods. The fiend emits a powerful presence that may make weaker-willed individuals yearn to gravitate towards it even kneel. That corrupting and vile presence would make the skin of any paladin or celestial crawl, however. What is clear to anyone is that there's more to this creature than a simple beast of the abyss; a strange aura instilling dark desire and treacherous, corrupting thoughts in anyone nearby surrounding it. When the fiend speaks its voice is a rich, deep one with a fiendish growl in the back of its throat that, while more than capable of instilling dread when scorned, seems to only add to its overwhelming, charismatic presence; each word disturbingly pleasant to listen to. **Lore** To those familiar with the denizens of the Abyss, gazing upon Rakanor's true form reveals him to be a Glabrezu; a powerful and cunning demon known for its affinity to deceit as well as tempting its victims into ruin, luring them with promises of power, wealth or other dark boons that while fully within its power to grant often leave the receiver corrupted and broken in the process. Glabrezu are most commonly summoned directly by an ambitious mortal who hopes to make bargains. Sometimes they find a potential victim on their own, presenting their "gift" to this person whether or not they want it. In some cases, Glabrezus never reveal themselves to a person, relying on their telepathy to speak directly in the victim's mind. They may be direct about their nature or make the person believe he is going insane. The unholy union between a Glabrezu and a mortal has been known to give rise to a number of horrific demonic offspring, such as the Draegloth born from a drow and the demon's seed. **OOC Note** This character was made primarily for demon-related roleplay. Any mages, priests/priestesses or even other fiends that want to try and summon, bargain with or even bind Rakanor are very welcome to try and do so through RP, and/or we can arrange something through tells beforehand. The player is very interested in RPing the intricacies of these subjects extensively, and while success in any such endeavor is not guaranteed as is the nature of dealings with fickle demons, I will do my best to make it a rewarding experience for all involved parties. Because of the above, I am suspending more or less any and all red lights for this character, meaning whatever your character may want to do with, to or make/coerce Rakanor to do for you, I will be glad to roleplay accordingly. Keep in mind that dealing with demons is rarely a straightforward affair, however, and Rakanor will undoubtedly have his own preferences and agenda. Also, I am very open-minded for creative roleplay, so don't be afraid to ask if you have questions/concerns. I value player initiative greatly in all forms of RP, whether it's a player-crafted plotline or something as simple as walking up to my character and roleplaying. It's likely through roleplay that my character will utilize some of the Glabrezu's innate abilities, most of which will be properly presented ingame with actual stats, feats, spells and material goods. Examples of this is the following passage from the Glabrezu Entry in the Monster Manual: Once per month, a glabrezu can fulfill a wish for a mortal. The demon can use this ability to offer a mortal whatever he or she desiresbut unless the wish is used to create pain and suffering in the world, the glabrezu demands either terrible evil acts or great sacrifice as compensation. I, the player, respectfully ask that you keep any such wishes within reasonable boundaries of the game, but other than that creativity is always a plus. You can expect from my character what you might expect of any Glabrezu, ability-wise; including telepathic speech, the ability to call fiends to his side, the ability (and willingness) to manipulate and mislead, and more. *** Red Lights: None. See paragraph 2 above. Yellow Lights: Depending on what you have in mind, it may be better to ask if you want to do something truly exotic to/with Rakanor, or if you for instance want to try and bind him (permanently or temporarily) I feel that discussing it OOCly for a moment beforehand would likely be a good idea. Green Lights: Any and all kinds of RP and SRP. White Lights (Target Themes Favored for the Character): Heavy RP, Dark fantasy, fiend/lower planes related RP, magic, summoning/binding rituals, consorting with fiends, bargaining with fiends, corrupting the innocent, good versus evil, coerced, impregnation, manipulation/deceit/suggestion/light mind control, obscure/depraved wishes, females, voyeurism, rough, sensual, and more. . .
