thousands of years ago, humans conjured up the beliefs of all-powerful deities that were given the titles of God. hundreds of stories with different ideas and beliefs agreed upon by millions, passing down through generations and into modern day. whilst many Gods have been lost over time, the belief of there being an all-powerful being—or several—who created everything remains today, regardless of religion.
that is also when the idea of the demon was born.
a foul creature originating from the underworld, from hell, from wherever one may believe. a manipulative being that hunts souls and toys with humanity through fear, violence or bad luck. on the other hand, many also believe these creatures can grant any wish wanted, all for a dreadful price. they are often grouped under the supernatural conspiracy linking to ghosts and the undead, but are notably formed from religion.
xinalith is a demonic entity created accidentally by the sheer belief of humanity. curious beings, greedy desiree’s, performing rituals to summon a demon to either quench the thirst for knowledge or fulfil a desperate wish. after a long while, xinalith was born in the inner depths of the infernal realm, and would be summoned to fulfil a contract.
except, this did not happen. Xinalith was a bloodthirsty creature who had just been born. they were starving, confused, violent. those who summoned them were consumed immediately in the most grotesque way imaginable.
now, Xinalith is a powerful demon who is able to wander the mortal realm in a human form. they normally are seen in a male body, with messy black hair and attire dating back to the 1800s, victorian era. they wear dark shades to protect their eyes from the harsh light, their crimson hues mirroring the blood they crave. they go by a human name most of the time—Victor—but will also answer to Xinalith.
they are able to revert to their demon form to save their energy, but they do not carry the same conscious. their feral mind will dominate and they will become extremely violent. their form is also tall, disgusting and they possess no eyes, so often use a form of echo location to hunt humans or animals. more detail of their demonic form will be revealed as time goes on.
Xinalith only cares about one thing. power. they will strike deals with mortals, granting them anything they want within their power so long as they get something in return. they will never do favours for free. they do not care about human emotions. to them, humans are mere pawns to get them to where they want.
