With new OCs coming up and the reveal of one of my characters for “On The Edge of Living” coming soon, I took the liberty of drawing out my version of a deadborn demon named Mintaka. I’m still developing them and some of the stuff for them will be saved for later because spoilers, but I can tell you a couple of things about them:
- Non Binary. Pansexual. Demiromantic
- Has many nicknames, but refers to themselves as “Pepper”
- Father is an Incubus from the Lust district of Hell
- Not only are they a dead born demon, but they are also a desire demon. Desire demons are rumored to be watered-down versions of incubus/succubus/concubus. As the name implies, Desire Demons are demons who feed and handle the deep desires of humans. Although most of them follow the ruler of Lust, Mintaka in particular works for Asmodeus (Lust), Mammon (Greed), and Beelzebub (Gluttony) mainly.
- Because of this, their summoning is a bit more complex. The summoner must say their name three times while having a strong desire as well. Without it, they would not come.
- They have a mirror/reflection curse. To anyone living/breathing, Mintaka either takes on the form of the person who summoned them, the one who has the strongest desire in the room, or the object/being of the person’s desire.
- Their true form is only visible to the dead or a demon under normal circumstances.
- Ice powers! Whenever they are nearby, you will feel a bit cold and something nipping at your left hip.
- Likes speaking in threes sometimes and they have an echo when they speak as if three of them are speaking at once.
- Can’t make clones by themselves.
- Loves skirts and candy.
- Hair streaks and eyes change color with mood. Normally they have purple streaks and icy blue eyes.
- Part of the Belt Trio. Don’t know whether they are cousins or just good friends. They all wear the same belt though.
- Loves to tease and cause some mischief every now and then.
- Swirls and mints are their thing.
- They are considered an “assassin”.
I’ll think of some more headcannons as I write later on, but I just want to jot some ideas down. Until then, here’s a bonus picture of my Mintaka and another Mintaka from the recent Orion AU going around! Minty’s design is by @cirilee and @esmeblaise :
I need to practice drawing more, ugh.
