Awesome.
Name: Alium
Age: ??? (appears to be 20-30)
Gender: ??? (often appears to be female, but can appear as a male)
Species: Demon God of Luck
Abilities:
- Can grant good and bad luck to anyone.
- Is capable of flight, and can phase through walls, seeing as he possesses a non-corporeal body
- Can possess any willing, or unconscious, human being for an extended amount of time. However, in human form, Alium cannot pass through walls, and cannot fly without revealing her wings.
Skills: Alium is a skilled strategist and prankster, often thinking up creative ways to thwart plans with bad, or good, luck. Most of Alium's strength comes from intelligence.
Weaknesses: Alium has little combat experience, and therefore is incapable of participating in most combat scenarios. Alium is also unable to interact with the world directly, and therefore relies on possessing earthly beings in order to do so. However, should the host die while being possessed, Alium will be ejected back into the spirit plane.
Also, Alium's luck granting abilities cannot alter the natural abilities of a target. In other words, Alium cannot make someone a better or worse marksman, but Alium can cause the bullet to ricochet in a way that allows it to hit the target, or cause the gun to jam.
Personality: Alium has a vast sense of humor, which lends to her prankster side. Due to his constantly decreasing reverence in human society, Alium has often resorted to merely traveling about and randomly granting good or bad fortune to humans, just so she can get a laugh. Because of this, he often appears childish and immature.
However, Alium also has a strong sense of justice. She often uses her abilities to deal out judgement and reward as he sees fit, although his judgement may be questionable to some.
History: Conceived between a god and a demon, and born in the underworld, Alium was considered an abomination by both gods and demons, and as such she was banished to the void between the worlds of gods and men. From there, Alium slowly grew as centuries passed. Although he could not contact either world on either side of the void, she could still watch as the years toiled by. Silent and invisible, he would walk among humans, observing the race as it grew.
Eventually, after spending a seemingly endless amount of time in the void, Alium began to exhibit the ability to manipulate minute details of the human world she so dearly loved. At first she could do little more than slightly alter the path of a falling leaf, or limit the number of times a coin would bounce upon hitting the ground. But over time, his powers began to truly manifest themselves, and with this new power Alium was finally able to partially leave the confines of her isolation, and interact with the world he had observed for many years.
For several millenniums after discovering her new abilities, Alium kept herself busy by altering the courses of numerous individual lives in little ways. Eventually, her manipulations were noticed, and were subsequently named "Luck" by the human race. From that point on, her influence and fame skyrocketed. Humans built shrines, talismans, and even religions around Alium. However, because Alium was unable to directly speak to any of her followers, she never directly received any praise. The religions that the humans created worshiped imaginary figures, and their talismans were little more than fancy trinkets. Sure, he appreciated the fact that the humans loved her actions, but Alium still suffered from bouts of loneliness. She wanted to be recognized.
And so, using the willing body of one of his many "worshipers", Alium left the void for the first time, and ventured in the physical world.
Looks:
When not possessing someone, Alium's form is barely visible to the naked human eye (she sort of resembles the shimmer you see from heat waves on a hot day), however he can be seen by other gods, and those similar to gods (ie, demi-gods, familiars, etc).
