Artmik the Silver Wings of Hell
Name: Priest
and to the Morningstar and the Hellspawn themselves he is named: Artmik [pronounced Art-mek...as in Me with a K]
Occupation: Spawn Guide, Lucifer's Entrusted, Priest to the Homeless Humans
Appearance:
Most of the homeless people looked up to Priest as if he were an angel and perhaps he was, but those who were Spawn. Knew how corrupted he truly was. A conjoined birth of an angel and a demon, Priest was beautiful. Though there was something deadly in his expression, his skin was pale, and his eyes were silver and gray. His hair is platinum and is often seen in priest vestments. Of what God. No one knows. He stands at 5'10". He is often criticized by many of the city people that are not homeless, for not being of any one god. Considering he wears both the Jewish start of David and the Cross with no ill effects to him.
The byproduct of the union of a demon and angel, when Priest sheds his humanly form. He is the byproduct of something both unholy and at the same time holy. As gold dawns on him with glittering gems, but his wing span is bat like, he is the one Lucifer himself trust. Because he is both the child of a God and a child of Hell itself. He is the unholy guide, disguised as a holy device. Standing above humanity at 6'3", he is to be awed and admired for such an unholy conjoining.
Personality:
He is not like his winged hell brethren, it seems the Morningstar takes some interest in Priest because he reminds him so much of himself. Though not inherently evil, nor inherently an agent of chaos, Artmik is more compassionate and has a mild interest in the human community. Much like the Morningstar himself, Artmik wants to provide the humans with a different sense of faith. Though the Morningstar can be cautious knowing full well once he was one who betrayed God.
Though Artmik is not a delicate rose with thorns. He's a delicate cactus with many rows of thorns and few flowers to bloom. The only beauty in his heart, is the one on the surface. Painted as an angel, with angelic human features, it is forgotten that he is a demon who serves the underworld. He is not inherently cruel nor inherently evil. But he is not inherently good nor inherently lawful either. If he were an alignment he would embody chaos and neutrality. He has no opinions of God nor Lucifer himself. Artmik is Artmik and he knows what he knows and that's good enough for him.
The Nephalem, is kind and compassionate, he advocates that all communities and walks of life stand hand in hand. The homeless community see him as a guidance and agent of lawful good. But he can also be just as cruel. Relying on torment and torture when someone does not listen to his rule in a respectful and kind manner.
The HellSpawns themselves should be cautious. Artmik in the end can be their painful ally, who they can entrust to help them with powers even beyond them. Or he can be their painful enemy/frenemy, who they will entrust will leash by the bounds of their torments, flaws, and virtues. It's in all the way you approach and respect Artmik.
Those who rebel. Will be tortured.
Those who respect and speak kindly and entrust Artmik, have an easier, softer time with his tough loving nature.
Powers:
Nephalem Physiology is not to be confused with Nephilim. While Nephilim's are the conjoining of a human and a spirit. A Nephalem is the conjoining of a demon and an angel. The features of Nephalem physiology are as stated:
Regenerative Healing- Artmik can heal his wounds slowly over time. When he gets cut he is injured, but he has the ability to his wounds overtime. In his Human form, he can still be injured and still be hurt. He is only as human, but his wounds heal in a matter of days versus weeks or months like a human might would.
Immunity to Holy Relics- Artmik cannot be harmed by holy relics. Because he has unholy and holy blood, the two cancel each other out and he takes no damage from holy water or any holy relic like a cross, the Star of David, etc.
Immortality- Artmik is immortal, he cannot age, nor can he be technically killed. I mean he can be killed, but his spirit would only transfer onto to another human body that he possesses. Generally they are the corpses of dead humans resurrected by the spiritual energy of Artmik's.
Nephalem physiology also gives him the ability to posses both the powers of Negative Energy, but also Divine Magic as well. Though he is given other abilities due to his loyalty to the Morningstar. Those would be;
Hellish Command; has the ability to summon lesser demons at his side for a time. [GM dependent roll]
Hellish Leash; he has the ability to leash the Hellspawn by reawakening their torments or flaws and use their mind against them to teach them their place. [Members will roll a Willpower roll, but the roll must be above an 18]
As well as Artmik having his own abilities as well. Such as his Unholy Holy Relic Spear that he uses to strike at his enemies. The Spear itself called the Vauhama[see his appearance] is said to strip humans of their souls, erasing not just their bodily existence, but their spiritual existence.
The Powers of the Vauhama are;
Ripping a humans soul from bodily and spiritual existence, they may never be reincarnated or never ascend to Heaven or Descend to Hell.
Smite has the ability to obliterate demons of lower level G,F,E,D,C,B from existence
And Artmik's abilities are nigh infinite. He may use them whenever he likes, as he likes with no consequences unlike the Hellspawn.
