The perks of being a offspring of hell
Foreword much of this lore is made off the back of my amazing partner @averiwhite please-please go check out their work.
So an explanation of Tallon’s powers and magical ability. Tallon descends from the royal lineage of Sincasts, the rulers of Hell. Technically he is all powerful, but I never saw him as having the grasp of his unlimited power and show he really only does small amounts of magic. Teleportation was always something I had in mind for him. It helps add to that chaotic nature of his by making it impossible to know where he’ll go next. I think it’s cool as well for fights/ fight scenes. I try to limit it to be very short range teleportation, while Tallon can teleport further way it takes more time and he has to have been to that place before. Like the film jumper.
Illusions were a big part of his bag of tricks. Tallon being death does just guide souls to the next life, but also in the world my fiancée created the grim reaper disposes of very bad people. Tallon likes to scare the crap out of these people bringing forth their worst nightmares.
The demonic powers, I always liked the idea of him using skeleton (mostly rib cages, skulls, and spines) as weapons, or a way of intimation. Also helps lend the idea of Tallon being a battle dead death and the Grim Reaper motif. My Fiancé ( @averiwhite ) has always explained Tallon’s family members having control of their body, being able to changed virtually whatever they want. Tallon has that same ability but again because of him not practicing—or not listening to his mom explain it—he limits what he can transform into. Usually only shifting into a female form or changing the shape of his teeth or growing talons (heh, his name is “Tallon” and he grows talons). His full fledged demon form is something I only designed recently and I’m still workshopping. Though I imagine it being very bloody and lots of teeth. Lore wise he has to drink sinners blood to transform and can’t do so whenever he pleases, though he very rarely uses the form.
Please if you have any questions feel free to ask I will always take the time to talk about my characters. I hope you all enjoy and thank you for reading this far.
