Long ago when the World was still growing when Lucifer rebelled there was one demon who would first to join his side. One who has manifested great knowledge and power through means of magic and blood. His name was Mephistopheles, One of the Rulers of the Nine circles of Hell. He rules the First Circle of Hell; Limbo with his eyes always watching the souls that enter his realm. Unlike his fellow brothers and sisters he is more of a schemer and playful with the mortals that would summon him or enter his realm.
Β
Mephistopheles plays many plots in order to keep his Lords interest at heart. In ways that would require time and patience.Β One timeΒ during the fall from grace The Hell-Lord managed toΒ forge rings for each demon king including Lucifer. Each ring gave them power to rival Archangels for it is ewmbedded with dark magic and angels blood and their own. Each ring contains a special rune that gives the wearer power over their realm. Such power is only fitting for the Rulers of the 9 circles

When Lucifer tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit Mephistoples kept his eyes on the foolish first mortals. He witnessed the birth of Cain and Abel rightΒ before his eyes, for the darkness was part of him.Β Β He watched their deaths and the boys grow into fine adults. He observed them as they give sacrifices to God time and time again. But Mephistopheles decided to have his fun by taking the role as Cain and Abel's ear.
Β
He whisperedΒ into Cain's ears telling him how God has favorited Abel with each gift that was given God has favorited Abel. to prove thatΒ Mephistopheles was wrong Cain decided to get the greatest gift of all. He took his brother to the field and rebelled against his own brother. He killed him, and for that he wasΒ marked as the First Murderer of man. Once again Mephistopheles has done the Devils work.

One of Mephistopheles greatest triumps was obtainning the soul of a certain hungry soul that wanted more than what was offered to him.Β The great Faust, a Scholar that longed for knowledge and pleasure. Such a soul is one that Mephistopheles could not keep his hands away from. When Faust summoned him he answered while showing him his power, toying with him by taking him to a mountain, to the pits of hell and back before appearing before him.Β Β He would offer him all the power he wanted, and in return for his soul. Faust was a amusing treat, and after the contract was finished he made sure that Faust suffered eternally, so much so that he keeps him close where ever he goes as a familiar that will do his beck and call while in a state of agony.Β Β
Β
He took his body and used it as his host to travel around the world collecting souls that would dare ask for himΒ and offer their souls owe so willingly. He would not deny the call, for it was his own entertainment.Β His power grows with each deal he makes.Β Temptation is the most powerful thing a demon can use on those who are so willing for power and pleasure.

Limbo, the first Circle of Hell where all the souls first go before moving to the other eight rings of hell. Unlike what the bible claims, Limbo was not all like the eight circles, for instance There isn't much Hell fire unless you enter the throne of the Hell-Lord. It is aΒ CastleΒ atop of ruins surrounded by a river of lost souls.Β The screams and moans of the lost echoΒ throughout the first circle.Β Hell-hounds swarm theΒ ruins making sure no soul flees whileΒ they make their way to the castle to be judged by the three Dukes of Hell
Β
Camiel, Barbatos andΒ Aroan; Β the Dukes of Hell who judge the souls and send them to their designed Β circle. Those that linger and do not go would either be maimed by the hellhounds orΒ be chained and forever be trapped in Limbo where Mephistopheles tortures their souls for all eternity.

Witch TrialsΒ
Β
The battle for souls has always been the priority of Angels and Demons, Β but Mephistopheles had been rather distant when it came to claiming souls. But at timesΒ when Lucifer requires him to do his job on claiming new souls, he would do so withΒ a twist. Mephistopheles was always interested in mischief and the dark arts.Β He came to A village, one that held the standards of God like it was their chains that willingly wore,Β but he could smell the desire for something more coming from certain villagers.Β He would come to those in a form of a merchant showing rare items that any normal folk would need at that day and age. He took his time gathering knowledge from the villagers but at the same time giving knowledge in return to those willingly and wanted to learn the outside of their peaceful village. Β
Β
There was one person that caught his interest, a woman that was unhappy about her lifestyle. The smell of desire, was practically enticing for the Demon. He came to her one night and told her about things beyond her comprehension. She was enticed, she was excited, and she was his. He taught her magic,Β levitation and prophecies,Β all for his own design and purpose.Β
Β Β Β
She made her own Coven and served to grow acolytes and witchborn. But in the end she tried to betray Mephistopheles by trying to seal him away. He caught on, and forced her to reveal herself Β to the village. Now exposed as a 'Witch' She had no choice but to flee from her home, but because of her actions people in the village began to accuse others of being a witch or devil worshipper. Those accused were on trial, and sentenced to death by pretenders who claim to be hexed. In a way it was a victory for Mephistopheles, He managed to grow a cult of witches who know walk the lands, and obtained the innocent souls accused of witches, while a village of God burns down by their own doing.

Long ago when Rome was at its prime and Julius Caesar had it at the palm of his hands, Mephistopheles came to him wearing a cloak that covered his demonic features. He had warned his about the Ides of March, always playing with riddles and was sincere to aid him. But like any foolish mortal who clings to power; Julius Caesar ignored his warnings. When the Ides of March came, Caesar was assassinated by his own court. Now motionless and laying in his own pool of blood Caesar saw Mephistopheles as he was; a demon who shed his visage before the dying man and reached out to claim his sou; to the depths of Hell.
But his fleeting cries of vengeance and need to survive took Mephistopheles by surprise. Many others had done the same, but Julius Caesar had this air to him that made Mephistopheles consider a deal. One that would shake the earth to its core. He granted his desire; he saved him from Death by giving him his own blood. Once he tasted demon blood Julius Caesar was neither living nor dead.Β
On that day, the First ever historical Vampire was made.
Modern Times
Β
Β
As years passed Mephistopheles now walks the earth posing as a BusinessmanΒ traveling in a car going to states while buying a shop making them into antique storesΒ selling items that others desire. Once he sold them the items they are in his book of souls to claim when he so desires. At times because of this he brings damnation to any where he goes so he is always on the move to claim more souls.Β
But at times he would remain in Hell to watch over the wayward souls that enter his realm. He makes sure that everything is in stable conditions until Lucifer one day returns to claim dominion once again.

Β
Hell Fire- Like all Demons he can manipulate the fires of hell forming raging flames that could burnΒ souls of the living.
Time Manipulation- Mephistopheles can have the power to go through time at will. Not to mention he could freeze time to manipulate it to his own accord
Manipulation ofΒ the Elements- Mephistopheles can control the elements of water, wind and earth along with fire.
Shapeshifting- He could change his form to any being he likes, his favorite is a raven.
Great Intellect- He is very crafty and can be quite a troublesome foe when it comes to his plans of using those to get what he wants

Weaknesses

A host - In order for him to leave Hell he needs a host to contain his demonic power. To walk the earth without one he would slowly lose his powers and become a mere deformed human with nothing to defend himself.Β

Comments
-He didn't immediately registered that there was someone else in the room with him, he finally saw the other person once he moved stopping James in his tracks cause he recognized the man who was now slowly turning towardsw him. All color drained from his face and he took involuntare step back, this wasn't Steve couldn't be him, James shook his head and took another step back- am I hallucinating? fuck I'm hallucinating aren't I -he spoke in increasingly panicked voice as he gripped fistfulls of his own hair and pulled sutting his eyes he tried to make it all go away, it wasn't real Steve was in the past with Peggy and he was all alone in the world he didn't understood-
-Even the voice was like Steve's- no no no you're not real...this isn't real -he shook his head backing away till his back hit the wall and James all but slide down to the floor still clutching his head tryhing to block the vision of his best friend standing in his room-
(Okay, I have to think on the whole desire granting thing. Not that I'm opposed to it. Maya is just such a fresh character with such a narrow storyline that I'll need her to think for herself through writing for a while before I can come to a good "desire" for her. I think making a deal with Mephisto - hope it's okay to shorten the name - would be a great idea! For now, I've compiled a relatively generic or broad starter, that way we can play off it.)
New York, Outterlying Streets | 2:56am
Β Β Β Maya did not like this in the slightest... Blaring sirens, Car horns, Flashing lights. She'd barely even broken the city's limits of New York when all this activity started. Yet, this was just another day in the City of Angels. Ocean hues panned around her surroundings. It was dark here. The street lights were far too separated to give a comfortable amount of light. Sidewalks were cracked and clearly needed tending to. Even the buildings here looked to be worn in their old age.Β ThisΒ was where her mother had told her to go?Β
Β Β Maya's goal was to set out and find a man called Jett. He was supposedly located in the No Sonno Cafe somewhere in the upper-classed area of New York. This city was huge, or was her brain exaggerating? Coming from a small traveler's town in the mountains of Russia, Maya had never seen this much commotion in one place, nonetheless so late at night.
Β Β Reaching a hand to clasp the dip in her baby blue tank top, the Fairy began her journey down the sidewalk and towards a more lit area. Every so often a noise could be heard from the alleyway to her right. This kept the Fae on edge; however, it appeared the rummaging had been keeping to themselves thus far. This was it. She'd traveled from the Forests of Katalam in Russia, clear east to the United States. She was close to her destination now. This is where she'd get answers. This is where her journey would truly begin.Β
-he stood there allowing cold water ran down his body trying to gather his thoughts, nightmares were getting worse and worse, almost to the point where he couldn't sleep at all, and he knew for the fact that even his enhanced bpdy wouldn't hold if he won't get any sleep. James jumped suddenly as water suddenly got scalding hot burning his back in process. He reached out to turn the water off while cursing the hot water, his inability to sleep and everything else basically-
-he then stood there in the dim bathroom surriounded by hot steam completely naked, he wasn't sure if he was becoming delirious or if shadows were actually starting to swirl around him. He ran his hands through his wet hair once he let his hands down for a moment they appeared covered in crimson blood, James closed his eyes and shook his head, he was imagining things he decided and reaching for a towel to dry himself off. He probably should talk to something about those nightmares and about his guilt, but he had no idea how to do it, where to start. Dropping a towel on the floor he left the bathroom in search for some clothes-
[yes it is complicated lol... Would that be all right though, as a basis of a plot idea? Mephisto the Father of the kids.. why not... After WandaVision, when Westview returns to normal without the barrier, maybe Wanda would wish her kids back?]
Sorry I am not responding very fast. I'm currently on a little hiatus-ish. Summer time my crazy aunt goes nuts with stuff for me and her to do. I'm not even home right now lol! I'm out of town xD
But no I have not read that book Needful Things. As weird as it is, I'm not much of a reader! Just a writer! Either way I'm sure we can sum up a nice thread. Did you want me to start or would you like to? I need to reread your profile as I've forgotten over the last month I've been gone.Β
I'm still off and on so please bare with me :) I will always return! I've been here since the start of the site, so I'm not going anywhere :D
{I am so sorry it has been such a long time, I hadn't been in a good place and had a lot going on. I have a second character I'm trying to launch, but haven't had time much there...}
Watching this man, or whatever he was Jessica was standing silent and patient, a majority of her focus on this man while still keeping her senses open on the passerby but neither she or the strange man were in the way of any bystanders or the road. Hearing him say her name and speak familiarly to her just as if they were old acquaintances or even friends, and when she hadn't a clue who this man was. Blue eyes narrowing at the man as her lips press into thin lines of disapproval. "My name how is it you know it and what do you mean I have grown nicely for myself, and that you have been in search of me... I do not know who you are." Clipped tone of voice in her English accent as Jex spoke to the man, immediately reading past his supposed soft smile to see some sort of meaning behind it that she knew didn't mean anything good. Hearing him say they needed to talk, just her and him, almost without giving the semblance of a choice for her as well as his holding his hand out to almost take her own, immediately Jex stepped back. Years of conditioning almost made her flinch back, with her father and then her ex, any time a man held out a hand it was rarely good but once again whatever that was within her that finally helped her succeed against her abusive ex was there once again, except though it was a lesser build than before. Though she may not know him, or at least recognize him, parts of her were able to tell he was not to be trifled with and wouldn't be easy to defeat. Wary Jessica held her ground, watching him and not looking away, trying to figure this out, and gain answers. "We do, why is that? This is not a good place to talk here?"Β
(hello, pleasure to make your acquaintance, thank you for accepting me request. I hope maybe to brainstorm a story. Imelda might be a little complex but I can explain if you'd like.)
{if you wouldn't mind, could you start us please?}
[I apologize it has been awhile.. um unfortunately I don't have something specific in mind.. maybe a broad idea with the companies that made Victoria, or an outside factor wanting her to go bad... Sorry it's not so good, still not feeling well]
