__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical DescriptionTall and broad shouldered, Pyr tends to command a certain sense of awe and fear when first walking into a room. He's pale skinned, with ink black hair that's roughly shoulder length - almost all of it is pulled back and tied at the nape of his neck, while a large chunk falls over the left side of his face, hiding his eye. The underside of these 'bangs' is bright blue, so it shows through here and there. His eyes are a similar shade of intense, rich blue, and the only truly unusual thing is that his pupils are actually a darker shade of blue rather than black. The only other remarkable thing, though usually covered, are the large scars that spider out across his back.
Overall, he looks remarkably human, at least until he feels it's necessary to unleash some demonic power on somebody or something. Generally this causes the whites of his eyes to turn black, his blue irises to glow, and for his pupils to become white - any other transformation has yet to happen, although his current body is very much a fabrication to fit in.
PersonalityTo put it simply, Pyr is deeply curious and intrigued by all manner of life on earth - although it's not easy to tell at first. His default expression is generally completely blank, as if he were not thinking or feeling anything - it's incredibly rare for him to show anything on his face. This isn't to say that he
doesn't experience emotions, he's just terrible at expressing them...like, really terrible.
After one gets over his often intimidating, unreadable façade, it becomes very apparent that Pyr is incredibly gentle and passive. He takes great care not to hurt others, and expresses deep concern over them if they should get injured. He most often observes those around him, quite happy to just watch all the various creatures go about their daily life. Children in particular seem to be a favorite, from their tantrums to their playing, he never grows tired of watching them. He seems to find all personal interaction with others to be very precious, and he tries very hard to do it 'properly', although it still generally turns out somewhat awkward thanks to his complete inability to properly convey emotion and follow general social norms.
Basically, he spends most of his time in a general state of either confusion or curiosity.
Pyr has another interesting...trait. He has horrible luck. It follows him like a dark cloud, and likes to manifest in bodily harm. Generally, things are constantly falling on him, impaling him, exploding near him, and etc. Being nearly indestructible, however, Pyr seems to have gotten quite accustomed to this - his usual reaction is to just blink, and then continue on with his day.
As one might expect, this causes those around him a great deal of surprise - then again, if you hang around him long enough, you'll grow used to it quite quickly considering the frequency of these accidents.
On a final note, Pyr has a really, really, really, really, really, really bad temper. It's VERY hard to bring out of him, but once you have, you're probably going to die in the next three seconds. Protip - if he sweeps his bangs back against his head (exposing the blue), you probably have a minute to get the hell out of dodge because that is the only clear indication that you've managed to piss him off.
Magic/AbilitiesSuperhuman strength - he's a demon, it's pretty standard fare. He takes great pains to keep his strength in check though so that he does not accidentally hurt others or break things.
Superhuman speed - again, demon, he can move faster than the eye can follow...if he really needs to, which he generally doesn't.
Nigh indestructible body - he can be injured in a number of ways, but never mortally so it would seem. It's as if his body has a 'damage threshold' and once that level is reached, his body rejects further harm. An example would be an explosion - he'd likely become burned, suffer shrapnel, and potentially even lose a few smaller bits like fingers, but he would not be blown to pieces or die. He also begins to heal almost immediately, generally within ten seconds of the initial injury. His body will also reject all foreign objects, such as pellets or knives, and force them back out of the body as he heals.
Flames of hell - if he needs to use his powers, he generally just summons blue-black flames and turns everything around him into fine white ash. The flames are incredibly intense, far worse than any sort of flame one could find naturally or through magic on earth.
Reflexes of a dead cow - it may just be due to the fact his body is basically death-proof, but the man does not know how to duck or get out of the way, despite his speed and strength. Throw something at his face and he'll...take it to the face, blink, and then probably ask why you did that.
RelationshipsHe sometimes ends up with a traveling companion, should they not mind traveling with a demon (and yes, he's quite upfront about that fact). Unfortunately, if one travels with him for any length of time, his 'bad luck' seems to rub off on them. Slowly but surely they will begin to experience all manner of mishaps and misfortunes, and it only grows steadily worse the longer they stay with Pyr. Eventually, if they do not leave him themselves, Pyr himself will disappear, to spare them from reaching his level of 'bad luck' - as having a house collapse on you tends to be fatal to those with normal bodies.
HistoryPyr is a demon from the recesses of hell, who has only recently come topside for reasons entirely his own. His true name is Asmodeus, and he is one of the 'seven princes' of the netherworld - the most powerful once-angels who now rule all other demons.
He refers to the other princes as his brothers, and seems to hold some amount of respect for them. Other than that, he just worries one or more might come looking for him, and that they will not be as 'subtle' as he was - they would likely kill and destroy just with their emergence from the ground, unaware or uncaring for the fragility of the earth and it's mortal creatures.
Still, he will maintain that he did not run and he is not hiding, so there's a good chance his brothers know where he went, if not why. Though he's very open about being a demon, it would be very difficult for anyone to learn who he really is, as he would rather his identity remain a secret. Demons might be able to understand on a basic level just how powerful he is, though even they would likely not know who he is exactly - they'd only be able to understand he is high in the hierarchy. His human form masks his huge demonic presence, and as one might imagine, looks little like his true form.
