I know the further I go
the harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed
and somehow I’ve fallen in love
with this middle ground at the cost of my soul

yet I know, if I stepped aside
released the controls, you would open my eyes
that somehow, all of this mess
is just my attempt to know the worth of my life



(I’ll go anywhere you want, anywhere you want,

anywhere you want me.)

Character Basics
Character Name Lilith | "Samael Series/Canon OC
AU/PG/Canon Point PG A Forest Dark Cottage Nest
Canon Details "The country for the unjustly dead" was an afterlife specifically for those souls who died with some destiny-ordained task left undone, thereby damaging the fabric of fate. There, they would be put through trials designed to both refine and judge their worthiness to go back and fix the mistake that killed them. This task was carried out by "Arbiters," parasitic organisms of all shapes and sizes that took the bodies of any unworthy dead who volunteered to act as their hosts.

...That was how it was meant to go, anyway. It turns out even an afterlife can go through an apocalypse.
Character Details
Age Appears to be in her early twenties Pronouns She | She/they
Physical Stature Very tall (6'1") and androgynous leaning. Built like a brick wall. Hair/Eyes Dark, dull steel-blue for both. Her eyes don't reflect the light quite right.
Notable Traits Wears a giant emerald tree boa skull over her face like a mix between a mask and a visor— like this, or this.

Heavily scarred; the most noticeable are thick keloids over her knuckles and some old surgical seams crossing her right cheek and circling her neck and right wrist. ...There's also something just a little unsettling about her even aside from the scars and the skull, but it's difficult to pin down just what.

15 Second Summary A judge of the dead in the shape of a giant snake skull consensually possessing a dead Frankenstein. (A Forest Dark was a hell of game, okay.)

Lilith (the host) is somber, frequently morbid and/or dramatic, and has a hell of temper, but she's also overall a caring sort of individual who really just wants to be treated as a person. The stereotypical prickly outside with a squishy center is incredibly real, though she's willingly put away a lot of her defensive attitude at this point (and will be entirely without it without years of traumatic memories from growing up as a non-human).

Samael is a little harder to describe. As a creature literally programmed for a specific function (the testing and judgement of the dead), she doesn't by default quite have free will or a very human perspective— however, experience and the influence of the people around her have lead her to develop a quiet, patient, and selfless personality, with a strong interest in other people's lives and stories. She enjoys seeing the happiness of the people around her, and strongly dislikes seeing anyone suffering unnecessarily— though her definition of "unnecessary" is perhaps a little non-standard...
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities High-level Naruto-style ninja nonsense (so transformation, illusion-casting, elemental manipulation, martial arts, general badassery). Superhuman strength and durability.

Samael individually can heal or alter bodies, has some limited control over plant growth, and also has "authority" over the dead— particularly the "unjustly dead," IE characters from AUs where they died when in canon they lived. This is probably going to be somewhat nerfed, but if you have a character who falls into that category and do/do not want her to take an interest in them for the sake of Shenanigans, please let me know!

Permissions I am okay with many things! My only real limits are that I can't play out outright noncon or dubcon that would lead to anyone being too upset later, and I'd prefer to avoid loving descriptions of certain kinds of torture (eye, mouth, or finger trauma). If things are getting intense one way or another I would also like to be in contact!

Sensing People capable of sensing the dead or spirits will probably get some sort of bizarre ping from her, since she's basically a psychopomp made from the soul of a dead animal possessing the dead soul of a creature made from corpses. People capable of sensing chakra or power levels or whatever will notice that hers is pretty up there (though anything like the Byakugan can tell the vast majority of it is stored in the skull, rather than in the rest of her body).

Has a number of surgical scars, the most prominent being a jagged diagonal line across her face. Usually wears an absolutely enormous snake skull like a mask or visor.
MENTAL/PSYCHIC
There are two people in there; they usually have some form of gently bickering conversation going. Think a very married, very affectionate, very opinionated couple. Lots of gossip happening.
MAGICAL/SPIRITUAL
That sure is a soulless, parasitic construct growing into and preserving the slightly-decayed soul of someone very dead.

HOW TO DATE LILITH


Treat her with basic human decency. Congratulations, you did it, now ask her out. All right, that's mostly a joke— but only mostly.
Be okay with the fact that she's platonically married and physically attached to Samael, or at least not too awkward about it. Ideally be friends with her, too, but that's not 100% required.
Prove that you're willing to listen when Traumatic Backstory Exposition comes up.

Loves: Tea, strawberries, larkspurs, potato and leek soup, any sort of Japanese food, books
Likes: All flowers, all food (the first time- if she's told you she dislikes something and you give it to her again that is a dislike), cloth goods and textiles
Neutral: Mead or other alcoholic drinks
Dislikes: Gems and precious metals, chocolate
Hates: Monster loot is a good way to get yourself punched. Kudzu. Anything made with red meat or pork.



HOW TO DATE SAMAEL


Honestly, you can probably just ask her if she wants to try dating you. She likes dating!
Be okay with her being platonically married to Lilith and also using her body for everything?
Be reasonably chill with the fact that her thought processes are completely inhuman most of the time.

Loves: Tea, sweets, tomatoes, flower crowns and garlands, nicknames
Likes: All flowers and plants*, cloth goods and textiles, w... eapons..., cute things, juicy gossip
Neutral: Just about everything else
Dislikes: *Kudzu
Hates: Do not insult her host.
anappleaday: (temp)
Lilith and Samael's farm is (of course) a forest farm.

Canon Details "The country for the unjustly dead" was an afterlife specifically for those souls who died with some destiny-ordained task left undone, thereby damaging the fabric of fate. There, they would be put through trials designed to both refine and judge their worthiness to go back and fix the mistake that killed them. This task was carried out by "Arbiters," parasitic organisms of all shapes and sizes that took the bodies of any unworthy dead who volunteered to act as their hosts.

...That was how it was meant to go, anyway. However, a dark stain called "the Spill" has been slowly moving over the land, devouring any Arbiters it comes across and changing the shades it touches into horrible, hungry caricatures of their former selves— and nobody seems to know where it's come from or how to stop it...
Character Details
Age Appears to be in her early twenties Hair Dark, dull blue.
Height/Weight 6'1", ~300 pounds. Heavier than she looks! Eyes Dark, dull blue. They don't seem to reflect the light quite the way they should...
Notable Traits Wears a giant emerald tree boa skull over her face like a mix between a mask and a visor— like this, or this. (Sometimes this will be concealed via transformation, if your characters can sense that— usually this will be centered in a pair of hair ribbons with seals inked on to them tied at her temples, but she can do it without them. The transformation itself can't be seen through, since it isn't an illusion— only sensed.)

Heavily scarred; the most noticeable are thick keloids over her knuckles and some old surgical seams crossing her right cheek and circling her neck and right wrist. ...There's also something just a little unsettling about her even aside from the scars and the skull, but it's difficult to pin down just what.

Clothing Cute hoodies, often with lace or ribbon accents (or both), worn with jeans and boots (when working) or a skirt and leggings. On fancier days she'll go full EGL style dresses, complete with cloak— and if she's not wearing either of those she's in something almost completely backless, showing off the nasty burn scars on her back and the corset piercing she's got laced over them.

Regardless of what she's wearing, she almost always has either flowers in her hair or braided into a crown, or ribbons tied around the jaw hinges of the snake skull close to her ears. Generally dresses in subdued blacks and greys, but always has at least one dark blue accent visible somewhere on her person.

15 Second Summary A judge of the dead in the shape of a giant snake skull consensually possessing a dead Frankenstein. (A Forest Dark was a hell of game, okay.)

Lilith (the host) is somber, frequently morbid and/or dramatic, and has a hell of temper, but she's also overall a caring sort of individual who really just wants to be accepted and cared for for who she is. She has some personhood issues (being a frankensteinian construct who was treated like a monster will do that), but she and her partner are working on it.

Samael is a little harder to describe. As a creature literally programmed for a specific function (the testing and judgement of the dead), she doesn't quite have free will or a very human perspective— however, experience and the influence of the people around her have lead her to develop a quiet, patient, and selfless personality, with a strong interest in other people's lives and stories. She enjoys seeing the happiness of the people around her, and strongly dislikes seeing anyone suffering unecessarily— though her definition of "unnecessary" is perhaps a little non-standard...
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities Superhuman strength and durability— nothing short of destroying her brain will do much more than slow them down, even if you do manage to do serious damage to the rest of their body. Thanks to Samael's previous host body being a Naruto-style ninja (A Forest Dark was a hell of a game), they're also very capable with martial arts, assorted weaponry, and some ninjutsu.

Samael individually can heal or alter bodies, has some limited control over plant growth, and also has "authority" over the dead— particularly the "unjustly dead," IE characters from AUs where they died when in canon they lived. If you have a character who falls into that category and do/do not want her to take an interest in them, please let me know!

Permissions I am okay with many things! My only real limits are that I can't play out outright noncon or dubcon that would lead to anyone being too upset later, and I'd prefer to avoid loving descriptions of certain kinds of torture (eye, mouth, or finger trauma).

ABOUT


LILITH | SAMAEL
previously miraculess and aesculapian
opal | plurk | opalinesque @ slack, gmail

Appearance A tall (6'1") woman in her early twenties, covered in an assortment of faded scars— most notable are the one on her face, around her neck, and around her right wrist. Wears a large emerald tree boa skull like a particularly macabre mask or visor. Her face is visible through its teeth and a little bit under the jawbone when the skull's mouth is closed.

Tends to wear either hooded cloaks or cute hoodies. Underneath is usually knee-length or shorter skirts or dresses with thick leggings and combat-style boots. If she's not wearing a cloak or a hoodie, she's wearing something either low cut in back or outright backless to show off the solid sheet of really nasty burn scar she's got back there, and the very nice corset piercing laced across it. Generally dresses in dark grays and blacks, but always has at least one blue accent.

Occasionally wears flower crowns, or ribbons threaded around the hinge of the skull's jaw.

Abilities SHE'S AN ARBITER. Generally offers healing/supplies in exchange for completed tasks or favors; more info here. Her current host is very durable and strong, and together they seem to have some other hidden talents...?

NOTE IF YOUR CHARACTER IS AT ALL SUSCEPTIBLE TO OR BOTHERED BY THE UNCANNEY VALLEY EFFECT, she should make them a little uneasy. Her movements are frequently a little bit off and she seems very distinctly more like a corpse or inanimate object than anything "living" or human. She smells like graveyard dirt, ozone, and something metallic that could be either blood or actual metal, with no human scent of her own. Really good noses might also catch hints of plastic and chemical preservatives.
PERMISSIONS


OOC
IC
Touching Yes Yes
Romance YES Under the right circumstances ...
Sex HELL YES See above '-'
Violence HELL YES She would rather not.
Killing Talk to me! She would rather not.
Torture/Gross Talk to meee :c

GENERALLY COOL WITH A LOT OF THINGS so long as we talk about them first etc. but non-con sexual stuff is almost always going to be a No, Thank You and I'd like to avoid situations that will involve either you or me describing certain kinds of torture in loving detail (eye damage, mouth trauma, SLOWLY BREAKING FINGERS etc.)

Also! As a note, Lilith may look in her early 20s but she's chronologically about five, with the lack of experience and emotional maturity that suggests. She's got a fully developed adult brain, which is why I am down for sexual situations with her, but if you'd rather avoid that due to her "real" age let me know! ALSO, though she does enjoy sex she doesn't actually do sexual attraction/arousal, so if you don't wanna play off of someone who is functionally asexual here's your warning.
