Mephistopheles is not the Devil. He’s Mephistopheles or Mephisto. He’s a devil or a demon, but he’s not the Devil.
He’s not a Biblical creature and didn’t come out of ancient Middle Eastern religions that Christianity (or some earlier religion) might have demonized. He wasn’t a competing tribe’s god and doesn’t appear in the Bible, except perhaps, as Judas. He appears as Faustus is giving in to temptation, using demonic magic to summon him. But it seems Mephistopheles is not summoned; he was just passing by. Faust has no powers over Mephistopheles, but both are gentlemen and each agrees to service under a contract. Mephisto will serve Faust for a time, and then Faust will go to Hell. For Faust, it’s a fair price to pay. Hell can’t be all that bad, and twenty four years of life is invaluable.
Mephisto's realm includes the Arena of Tainted Souls where tainted souls are locked in perpetual combat. Mephisto delights in impersonating the Biblical Satan. Empowered by the souls of the damned, he often strikes deceptive bargains with the living. Mephisto takes particular interest in the souls of extremely powerful or exceptionally pure beings. But mostly he takes personal interest in those who are already corrupt.
Living in many forms, Mephisto would keep wandering around the living collecting corrupted souls and bringing them down to hell. He amuses the corrupted souls letting them do what their hearts desires only to have them fall in the end. Once a servant of the devil he had gained great knowledge on his own but he doesn't tell anyone. With the many souls he has collected gave him the rank as a Hell-Lord who takes his own rules.
Mephisto was well known for dabbling with dark magic using it for his own advantages over others. Whispers spoke of a demon who came to a woman one night teaching her the powers of witch craft that only she could master. He even told her that she was the most powerful being who could master the power of magic. She was of course a chaotic soul that wanted nothing more than power, so Mephisto told her a way by gather all the wicked people from her home town and make a ritual to gain her and their desires. Shame herself for believing the devil, for in the end she was found out casting spells while the wicked souls would become mad accusing everyone to be a witch until the devil collected his due, Mephisto thought it was cute as they called the tragedy 'The Salem Witch Trials.'
Now Mephisto doesn't like to stick in the crowd for so long; he likes to express himself more as a trickster rather than a ruler. But he manages to do both at times, Some say that he is a master of lies, others say he is evil personified. No one knows for certain, but one thing is certain; He is the deliverer of souls. One tale in particular would be the story of Faust and his first encounter with Mephisto or Mephistopheles giving him a few days to live and when the time came he took him straight to hell. However, not much is still known about Mephisto which the story may still be just that; a story.
We Fallen Few
Only few know this, other would not believe it; but the truth was, Mephistopheles wasn't always Mephistopheles. Before Lucifer rebelled Mephistopheles was once an Angel, but had a name no one has known but most had prefered to call him Malthael. He was one who prefers to explore and meet the new children and beasts that god had made. He would always gaze upon earth and dream of one day becoming an Archangel. But even if he dreams he still has his duty as a scribe of god.
His duty involved writing down the word of the lord and teaching new angels on defense and the arts of guidance. He didn't teach order recruits; owe no he had also tuitered the elites as well. His favorite pupils were the main three; Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael. They may have known how to handle themselves with a sword, but without Malthael the arts of strategy and emotion would be in a uncontrolable state. Other then teaching, Malthael had a knack for creating artifacts and landmarks. God once told him to build a realm for those that would cause corruption in the world of men.
That realm was not called hell at the time, but the name fit perfectly for the land that he helped create. After he had done that job he had another, one that involved the souls of those who were deceased. When the time came Lucifer came to Malthael asking him for aid on the rebellion agaonst God. His fellow scribes believed that he would turn such a thing down but Malthael surprised everyone by accepting Lucifer's request. The rebellion was long, and Malthael was now standing in front of his favorite Pupils; Gabriel. He knew what was to come and he accepted his fate as Gabriel ripped of Malthael's wings and casted him out of heaven and into the realm he made; That was how Mephistoheles came to be.
No Land
No Silver
The Hell Lord looks like the every day appearance of the devil, but with out the horns. However, he does hold one look that he uses at times when he is top side. Looking rather strapping with a suit and tie. Brownish hair and around 5 ft 8. He uses that form almost all the time so expect to have a few glances from people whenever he is around. But always remember; behind the face is a cold hearted demon that would not flinch when its your time to leave the world.
Demon Blade
Mephistopheles choice of weapon that he keeps by his side at all times. This blade can kill angels, and deities alike, he crafted it on his own; other high level demons have blades such as these when they have gone through the war between Angels and Demons. Mephistopheles was one of the elites, and he keeps his blade within his cane and keeps it sheathed. The blade can cut through anything, even the hardest substance, even magic as well. But he barely uses it and doesn't let anyone know about this since he likes to keep it as a surprise.
No Gold
Relationships-
Mephisto is not one to judge when it comes to sharing a bed, he is not shy when it comes to sex. But most of the time he prefers to be single and always mingle. When he is finished with them however, he does not care of what happens next.
Lucifer Morningstar- One that Mephistopheles trusts with his very being. He doesn't want to leave the fallen angels side no matter what. When Lucifer left hell He would visit him whenever he could. Mephistopheles tends to be Lucifer's advisor at times.
Faust- Everyone knows the story about Dr.Faustus and his deal with the devil. How he became far gone in his desires and did what ever he wanted. How he completed the deal and accepted Mephistopheles hand and went to hell. Well after the whole endeaver Faust had not just been tortured for his sins, but became them; he became a demon and soon enough became Mephistopheles #1 companion and bodyguard, where ever he goes Faust will be there hiding in the shadows.
Faust>>>>
John Constantine-One that Mephistopheles does not approve of but admires him a little. He can be such a nuisance at times but when it comes to him living with Lucifer Mephistopheles decided to see how it goes by working with him as an ally/ rival when it comes to it. When they are together make sure to steer clear away from the area.
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Powers & Abilities
- Immortality: Mephisto is suggested to be immortal because of his self-description that he lived long before the universe existed.
- Dark Magic: When Mephisto reveals himself to Faust with his dark magic for the first time, he says he is a part of that power that always wants evil, but always makes good, which might mean that Mephisto is part of evil itself.
- Shape-Shifting: Mephisto came into Faust's lab by disguising himself as a poodle.
- Controlling Elements: Mephisto said that he tried to destroy the world often with the elementals and if he would not have kept fire for himself, he would never have anything. In "Auerbach's Keller", he creates a small flame to scare the guests.
- Reality-Warping: In the movie (but not in the book), he is shown to warp reality: in the disguise of a poodle (the poodle's not seen in the movie), he ran behind a shelf in Faust's lab, starting to shift his shape with smoke. When Faust tried to command the being he let come into his house, shouting against the smoke, Mephistopheles is shown to sit already on the floor behind Faust.
- Compel- Mephistopheles has the ability to speak to humans and compel them to speak up their burdens that weigh their soul.
Weaknesses
- Deals/Contracts- Mephistopheles can only use greater magic by deals and is bound by them. Without making a deal all he can do is what regular demons with power can do.
- Holy Blade: An angels blade could kill him and make him cease to exist.
- Lucifer: Mephistopheles would always be by his side when he asks of him. He would die for him and would come back to him even if were to be betrayed by the fallen angel.
- Host: Not much of a weakness; more like a need, No mortal could comprehend his demonic appearance, they could only see what their minds would allow. So in order to fit in he seeks out worthy vessels that could sate his needs and desire
Comments
(Do you have any ideas? I apologize I'm having a slightly bit of an hard time to come up with something, I'll try and keep thinking of something.)
(Thanks for the invite.)
Faust’s words uttered to Nikolas’ question were met with silence when their honesty wasn’t fully expected. Remarks of past sins done in order to keep even with the demon conjured up more questions than probable to ask during the short exchange. His lips parted and closed once as he thought it over. Sickened to the core..? The Vessel’s expression grew somber as he tried to make sense of it and what the hell could have brought such an answer. Did he even want to know, was it fair to either if he asked?
In the end, he kept his mouth shut and his eyes trained themselves on the door. When it was finally opened, the shock that Faust’s promise was true showed on his face. The interior was studied as he took a few steps in, and noted as something vaguely familiar. He wouldn’t comment to the fact when the man spoke again before he could. “Alright… thanks. You too, and I’ll try to.” He responded. Nik trained his eyes back toward the door where the other stood.
The comment he was left with made the Vessel bristle some. “When his hosts fail him?” Nik questioned quietly as if he never considered. His lips parted and closed. “He’s had multiple?”
(I hope we can try and plot perhaps?)
Turning on her heel at hearing Mr. Constantine's further words, to glance over at him once more— She blinked in partial confusion or more, and what the hell did he mean. A sculpted brow rose in his direction, as if to ask without words, what he meant yet noticed him speak it, as in offer an explanation, so she listened to him, and intently so. Watching him retrieve his cell-phone, and then head into an phone application, she saw the feed, she saw it all, and took in board to the best of her ability. The last time that the detective had seen him, Mr. Dierick Clouse that was, she thought it would have been the first, and last time, but clearly not. Why Constantine came to her exactly, it wasn’t known, yet as an officer of the law, she couldn’t turn him away, nor would she. The brunette heard his question at the end of it all, and listened to the plea, or whatever it was that sounded in his voice to accompany his words. 'Did she help him, as in Mr. Clouse to clear his name with his eventual arrival to the 125th, or should she send Constantine on his way, to get someone else to do the job? Someone more capable perhaps, if there was such an officer.'
Shaking her head towards him, not saying no, yet not giving him an answer either, well not just yet. The shaking of her head implied however, that no, no one else would have to be called in to solve the matter. And, it would be her job, or duty, and as a matter of fact, she had already said yes, without even saying it. "Sir, I think I can help him. Actually… I will, so no one else is needed to solve the matter—But, Sir… One more thing; You say he is innocent, which I believe when you tell me that, but do you have anything to give me on the said crime? Who did it, or who could be our possible suspect, or suspects? Yes, it is our job to figure that out, I know that, but if there’s one thing I will ask, it is that. If you don’t have any information, or can’t give me anything, it’s fine, but just thought I would ask…." From there, the detective awaited one last response. From time to time, her gaze alternated in and around her surroundings, yet in time, she then allowed her full attention to return and remain on the man, while awaiting Mr. Constantine’s response, and on top of that, Mr. Clouse’s arrival, if it should occur within the following minutes or so, that was.
[I like that.. I could try to start?]
-he didn't say anything else just watched this strange demon disappear in flames, Alec slumped back in his chair and rubbed his face, he will definitely have a lot to think about, what Mephistopheles said what this whole conversation meant, he never met a demon even a greater one with such unique point of view to life-
-he looked at his computer screen where a file about Mephistopheles was still on display he skimmed quickly thought that little information they had on demon before closing it, he thought about that last quote Mephistopheles left for him but it didn't made any sense, what key was he talking about...Alec shook his head and turned off his computer since it was late and he really should have some sleep.He got up and went to open the door when he heard a knock, wondering who might need him now, and came face to face with Magnus- Magnus, what are you doing here? -he didn't expected warlock to show up at the institute at least not after a fight they had earlier-
|I like that.. Perhaps Astarte had been growing rambunctious and hardly listening to Lucifer anymore, and your character could attempt to corral her perhaps?|
Upon arrival, and after having collected her belongings, to then lock her car, the detective began to head towards the 125th's building, eager to get her work day under way. Yet, a voice stopped her almost immediately, and that there causing her to stop in her step, to then spin ever so slightly to face the man that belonged to that voice. The woman had no clue on why this man would show up out of nowhere, and right before her work day, almost like he had known she would rock up then and there, or did every day at this time, but it wasn’t questioned. All that the detective did do was listen, and nod from time to time, to everything on board, from beginning to end. And in time, with Mr. John Constantine’s card in her field of vision, the brunette eyed it closely, and then him once more. Rather than inform him, of what her plans were, or could be, the brunette had been about to turn upon her heel, to head on inside, and inform her team first of her morning plans, yet she immediately decided otherwise. 'Call them on the way, and inform them that way, so there is no holding me up, if something else had come forward.'
With a nod towards Mr. Constantine, the brunette spoke these few words across to him, "My mornings usually start slow, so if there is a good time to head on over, it would be now. Do you need to inform Mr. Clouse of my immediate arrival, if so? Or, shall we schedule something, say later this afternoon, or tomorrow morning? Or, if now should be fine, shall we go?"
Rather than make that decision herself, the detective left it all in John’s court- Whatever way it went however, especially if the visit would occur this morning, as in here and now, Catherine of course could drive, and follow Mr. Constantine, if that was preferred. Or the two could share a drive one way, or another, or she could simply drive him back, well if he had arrived here on foot, that was. But, overall, if her car was with her, it would make it easier for her to go, and then leave, whenever it was time to. Rather than think too far head now however, she simply stood there in silence, and in a professional manner, while awaiting his response.
From what I heard Lilith was obsessed with having a child and Johnathan was a perfect opportuniti to achieve that goal and look what she turned Johnathan into, as for Magnus I'm sure you know that Asmodeus is his father and he took Magnus in yes but certainly not becuase of the goodness of his demon heart he wanted to use Magnus or rather his power. So what are we talking about here? all the grotesque acts demons committed? -Alec shook his head he was growing tired of this philosophy lesson from a demon-
-the next statement actually made Alec laught, he was bitter and he wasn't afraid to show it in fact that pretty much the only emotion he allowed himsef to feel for a very long time- probably a little bit of both, I'm not used to get philosophy and life lessons from a demon who just randomly appear in my office -he shrugged as if it was nothing serious- getting along isn't as hard as you might think however making everyone else accept it is...-he thought for a moment- ...challenging. -it wasnt like he was revealing some great secret to Mephistopheles everyone knew how Alec and Magnus struggled to make their comunities accept them as a couple-
Maybe you are the gray area stutk between good and bad fighting in the endless battle, leaving everything in ruins just because they can -he wasn't quite sure why he said that but it sure didn't stopped him from continuing- when you really think about it we nephilim are nothing compared to angels and demons who are two forces really fighing here, we are stronger than humans but we are still mortal and there is not even nearly enough of us to make a difference in this battle so whats the point...-he met demons sharp gaze- thats one thing I keep asking myself
