Male | Maggot turned Parasite | Gluttony
Krenshar the Insatiable is a… small parasitic maggot from Gluttony. He's a low class demon with a penchant for zombifying bigger and higher level hosts. They are the best mental and physical meal in Krenshar's humble opinion. Not to mention the joy he gets as they're slowly digested from inside. It is a thing of beauty for Krenshar to control his host during a feast; feeding on his host as his host feeds on something else, what more could a hungry maggot dream of if not for a bigger stomach?
He's a snarky fellow with a self-deprecating sense of humor. His attitude towards hunger is much like that of an addict's. It is a constant need, what he was born of, his nature, and therefore what drives him to act and exist.
He's not exactly a part of a race, just the consequential result of a maggot with a specific taste for a type of flesh. His size has varied over the years, and is mostly dependant on the size of his host or how much he has starved before getting into one. To be able to take possession of a host, Krenshar has to be at least half the size of their spinal cord or the host will be difficult to control. If Kren does a spinal-hug on a bigger demon than he can handle, he is unable to take control of the body and may merely live within the body as he digests it. If he manages to grow to the needed size before finishing the meal, then he will be able to use whatever is left of the body so long as the body is still alive. (Just for reference, he is currently the size of a pre-teen boy).
Krenshar is a perfect depiction of Gluttony at work, an extension of it as it were, because in Gluttony everything can devour anything and in varied ways.
Character's History:
Krenshar was born in Gluttony as one of the many demonic maggots that fed on the flesh no one else would. One of countless organism-like beings that exist to feed from birth to death without much room for anything else. Krenshar was a flesh feeding zombie that just happened to crawl up a demon's leg, eating his way up delicious nerves. Being the only maggot in the demon's body, Kren had plenty to eat and was not pressured by competition to hurry. Time and excess gave the maggon time and material to play with, little by little yearning and hungering for more than just flesh feeding. Slowly but surely, he became sentient and the little demon became aware of itself. Feeding from birth to death was still appealing, but the manner in which he would live through that was now a choice. In honor of that first host, to whom he owes his rebirth, Krenshar took on its name.
His body has changed over time, better adjusting to his way of life. For one thing he has mimicked the hands of a demon host which he found very useful. Said demon shaped its hands to resemble an angel's but Krenshar is unaware of this since he has never seen one.
Krenshar has settled on the method of latching onto the spinal cords of his host in order to feed and control. He uses his saliva and acid to invade, adapt, and blend into the chosen host.(see abilities for details)
As for his relation to the Gluttony demon Lord, Beelzebub, Kren couldn't care less. He doesn't follow nor does he rebel, he just lives the way he chooses. However, he has eaten demons that followed or rebelled against Beelzebub and Kren has played the part just for kicks.
Position, Rank, or Occupation:
Low class demon with no rank, but makes it his occupation to try different ranks on for size ;]
Skills, Abilities, Equipment, Weapons, and Armour:
Years of living the lives of several demons has made the little maggot very cunning to his trade. He's very fast and nimble and built for scurrying around. He's also very manipulative in the sense that he knows most demons that get to see his actual form underestimate him, and Kren milks it to no end.
Krenshar secretes two very potent things: saliva and stomach acid, both of which can pour out of his mouth or entire body:
Saliva - Used as a flesh shaper tool in order to cover the damage and himself after burrowing onto the spinal cord. It has the added value of helping his body adapt to his new environment. For example, if the demon host uses venom/poison and has immunity, then Kren is able to adapt his own body by basing his flesh on the host's immune flesh. Speaking of, Krenshar's saliva has numbing properties, to which Kren is immune to, that make it possible to enter a host without the host noticing. His usual process, if his aim is to posses the body, is to catch a demon while it is unconscious. The only way Kren can enter a host while the host is awake, is if Kren's size, relative to the host, is small enough that the host may mistake Kren for an itch he can't scratch because it's out of reach. However, Kren believes he's evolved past that since mere survival is not enough, and it would hurt his pride if he'd ever have to settle back into the life of a simple maggot.
Acid - Used in conjunction with his mouth and teeth to break the skin and muscle or exoskeleton needed to reach the spinal cord. Once Kren is inside, he mixes his acid with his saliva to reduce its potency. The new mixture is spread out throughout the host for digestion. Kren "eats" or rather absorbs his food through his skin and feeds through his mouth on special occasions. Chewing is a special treat.
Other abilities depend on his host. In a way, by taking possession of another demon Krenshar essentially equips them as both armor and weapon.
Current host:
Demon: Avian-type given the wings. It strayed into Gluttony and suffered the consequences of it before Krenshar latched onto him. Because it had already lost its face, Kren has had to steal eyes every once in a while to place them in the sockets for use. However, because the eyes aren't the body's originals, they decay or are digested much faster than the host body itself. The host is nearing the end of the digesting process, it has already started to rot and boasts a few maggots here and there as proof. It it still in good enough condition to be useful so Kren maintains it, but he's already considering staying on the alert for a new host.
Abilities:
Flights, powerful claws and hoofs, a strong mandible with sharp teeth, and release of toxic gas through the mouth. To lower demons the toxic gas is lethal, to higher ranked demons it has varying degrees of effectiveness but generally produces a sickness.
Weaknesses, Annoyances, Dislikes, Fears:
His insatiable hunger is both weakness and strength because it rules over him and defines him. Such simplicity makes him easy to manipulate and predict… to some extent, since a Glutton can hunger for anything at anytime and that can be hard to predict when it extends beyond a hunger for flesh.
Extreme temperatures. This may vary depending on his host, but it'll affect him one way or another.
He considers himself a weakness, an annoyance, and he dislikes himself. He fears staying outside a host for too long, and constantly hungers for praise even if it's a double-edged sword (Since he usually obtains it while wearing the skin of another and never as himself in his true form).
