Character Sheet

Name: Marcus Hadrian Crowley

God/Demon/Human: Demon!

Title: Marcus, Demon of Missing Socks. Wait, no...

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Abilities: Oh, your normal demon stuff. Illusion, popping from one plane to the next, time hopping, charming the socks off of everyone.

He's fairly good with a sledge hammer or a garrote, too, though lately he's been more in the mood for the former. Stress will do that to you.

Marcus is, of course, first and foremost a coward, however, and will only attack someone if he's fairly certain he'll win, can sneak up on them, or put them in a position where they can't attack him back. Only if he's really cheesed off will he fight someone who is figuratively or literally bigger than him.

Appearance: Curly brown hair, dark, Mediterranean sort of complexion, red eyes, pretty trim build. He's around average height as well.

Almost never seen wearing anything short of suit-and-tie outfits- well, he doesn't always wear the jacket, but he's generally wearing slacks and a tie, anyway- Marcus is always clean cut. He feels it helps with his image, and also he likes to feel pretty.

Personality: Bitchy. That's all you need to know.

History: Really, what's important here is that Marcus is a surly, alcoholic demon and general ne'er-do-well, but his back story is a little fun too, so we can dabble in that as well.

See, Marcus was born a twin into the upper class of a violent society of slightly morally skewed people-dudes. Mr and Mrs Crowley were a little intense, and were raising their little babies to hold one of the highest positions in the Court of the White King, ruler of blahblahblah. Anyway, so Marcus and Devin (his twin sister, from whom he was inseparable) were being pushed hard by their parents to be violent and ruthless, not unlike Mr and Mrs Crowley themselves. Well, unfortunately for the parents, they perished in a mysterious house fire when their two children were fourteen or so. Marcus and Devin, while not exactly subtle, were never charged with anything and made sure to cover their tracks.

So, this was the beginning of a long string of bloodshed and general foul play caused by the two Crowley twins, now orphans, while they climbed to the top. In a few years they had secured the positions their parents had sought for them, and were fairly content doing the King's dirty work.

Well, one day, Marcus's lovely little Rottweiler of a sister stabbed her brother with a poisoned dagger due to a lot of reasons, some of them being unwanted sexual advances, but mostly it was more because of Marcus's increasingly more prominent alcoholism and slow ascent up the crazy tree.

Dying kind of shook him out of that, though.

Eventually he met Salem in Hell and they struck up a sort of deal. It involved not killing each other and watching each others' respective backs until one of them decided it was time to terminate the contract. It was Marcus's intent to kill him all along. Unfortunately, he didn't really count on liking him.

Character Sheet

Name: Decima, or Mrs Livingston

God/Demon/Human: God(dess)

Title: Fate, or alternatively That Freaky Old Lady Who Lives Next Door

Gender: Female

Age: Fate is timeless.

Abilities: First, foremost, most important, and least used, Decima can, if she so chooses, alter destinies. Even if she had made up her mind at one point in time, things are always subject to change. This is used sparingly, if at all.

And, due, to the nature of her existence, she can see all possible outcomes of an event. She usually turns it off on Earth, though, because that's a lot to process.

Finally, the fun stuff. Mrs Livingston knits. She also crochets, cross-stitches, and embroiders. Going with the sort of 'tapestry of fate blahblahblah' theme, she occasionally knits tiny stuffed animals to do her bidding.

Needless to say, they freak Marcus out.

The Fates: At her beck and call are three Fates or Parcae, who, like their Grecian counterparts, are in charge of spinning, choosing length, and snipping the threads of life. Decima oversees them, and between the Parcae are four eyes (one each) with one magical eye, capable of seeing problems with the way destiny is flowing wherever they may be.

(Fates names: Rho, spinner, Sigma, who allots, and Tau, the snipper)

Appearance: Decima: Okay, think back to Snow White. Remember how Step-Queenie made herself look all old and stuff? Kind of like that, only less of a hag. Decima is old and gnarled and has a tendency to carry around a funky looking walking stick. She wears dark, flowy kinds of clothes, because she feels like it.

Mrs Livingston: Mrs Livingston is your typical wacky old lady. She has a tendency to wear lots of layers and clothes that don't match, has wiry hair that is in varying states of brushed, and tends to walk around with a giant carpet bag and three cats. She sometimes wears glasses but sometimes doesn't, depending on her mood.

The Fates: Though different in appearance, to the untrained eye look much the same. They're diminutive in stature as well as having an imp-like look to them, along with hands and feet with odd numbers of joints and eyes that look a little too large.

When on earth the Parcae take on the form of three cats, two with only one yellow eye, and then one with one blue eye and one yellow. The cat with depth perception varies.

Rho: Grey, long haired cat
Sigma: Siamese, short hair
Tau: Predominately white cat with black splotches, medium length hair

Personality: She's really much more fun as Mrs Livingston. Her personality is much more like a wacky old lady.

Being in Heaven kind of throws off her groove, forcing her to actually do her job. As you can imagine, being in charge of everything going on at any one second in time is a little mind blowing, and she's really a lot scarier and like those freaky old ladies in fantasy movies things when there.

History: Fate forever has been and forever will be.
