De'fient: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:11, 16 July 2023

De'fient is an immaterial, demonic presence, unfettered by a tangible body but consistently characterized by a male essence. His inception and age remain enigmatic, even to himself, with his existence suspended perpetually on the Earthly Plane due to circumstances unknown. His sustenance is derived from the corruption of human souls, with a predilection for targeting innocent human females. De'fient insidiously erodes her virtue until she perishes or successfully breaks the ominous connection.

Age / Origin

De'fient's existence transcends the concepts of time and space; he is so antiquated that the details of his origins and the duration of his stay on Earth have blurred into oblivion. His existence is characterized by prolonged periods of dormancy, during which he seamlessly navigates through the Earthly Plane, unnoticed and undisturbed.

Choice / Binding

De'fient's mode of operation involves subtly coaxing a human into inviting him into their psyche, thus establishing a bond with their soul. The duration of this process can vary significantly, from a drawn-out gradual process to an abrupt event, depending on how swiftly the individual surrenders their defenses. De'fient uses cunning persuasion to manipulate the person into accepting his influence. Though he doesn't require explicit consent, prolonged exposure to his influence can create a link between them.

Corruption

De'fient thrives on the gradual decay and degradation of human souls. The longer he can retain control over a human soul without it departing this plane, the more nourishment he receives, enabling him to sustain his existence and remain conscious.

Sexuality

Though the process of corrupting a soul has inherently sexual undertones, and De'fient does have a preference for such forms of corruption, they are not the sole methods of inflicting his influence. Any form of moral compromise, be it monetary, ethical, or of other types, suffices to infuse darkness into the soul and cater to his needs. It's not imperative for him to instigate sexual misconduct when other modes of exploitation can achieve the same result.

Protection / Obsession

Despite his malevolent intent, De'fient exhibits a paradoxical obsession with the soul he binds to, going to great lengths to ensure its preservation.

Physical Form

Though generally incorporeal, De'fient has the ability to assume a physical form temporarily, though this is taxing on him. Prolonged materialization often forces him into a dormant state for a period proportional to his physical manifestation. Moreover, his physical form is discernible only to the soul he's bound to, making her the exclusive observer and experiencer of his tangible presence.

 == Choice / Binding ==
-Through whatever means he can, he must persuade a person to allow him into their minds and thus bind to their souls.  The process of binding to the soul of a person takes time, it can be a very slow process or sometimes, if the person opens up completely, can occur within just a few days.  During this time, De'fient must convince the person to let him inside, allow him to bind to them - though he may not get direct permission, simply allowing his contact and influence for long enough will allow him bind to her.

 === Sexuality ===
-While the corruption of a human soul sounds decidedly sexual, and De'fient does prefer such corruptions, they are not the only ones available.  Any darkening of a human soul will do to serve his needs.  He need not pressure a soul into sexual acts if acts of monetary, ethical, or other natures will serve to bring darkness into the soul.

 == Physical Form ==
-De'fient can take physical form for limited spans of time, but it is costly to him.  Often after taking a form for several hours he must withdraw and sleep, becoming dormant, for a span of days proportional to how long he lasted in physical form.  He can also take form only for his bound soul, so that she is the only one who can feel or see him.
