SOMNIA-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS


1. Dreams are how Sleep chooses you. What might draw your character into Somnia— a wound, a wish, a weakness? Would they follow the dream, or run from it?

It would be a moment of weakness that draws him in. His canon point is a rare moment of altruism for him, because he steps in to help others even though the task he is trying to fulfill is just beyond his ability to accomplish. The result is him being utterly drained of celestial magic-- entering what he calls 'low power mode', where the only recovery is an extensive rest period.

Beyond that...

It's weakness in his personality that leads him towards bad decisions and falling for ploys that in any other instance he would see as deceit. Especially if it's a promise to return to a better time in the past, or at least fulfilling a need that would only be temporary if he sat and thought about it. Being an eternal teenager affects more than just his physicality, but also his emotional maturity. He is impulsive and doesn't always see the bigger picture if he's rattled or under duress.

Sleep could promise him anything. A return to his full power as an archangel, a promise that he would never have to suffer alone again, or even just a room to himself where he could stretch his legs would do it.

Heck. He conned others into breaking and entering, trespassing, and larceny because he missed his PSP.

2. Somnia is a slow unraveling—of worlds, and of selves. How does your character respond to fear, transformation, and losing control? Do they fight, adapt, collapse?

Urushihara, as he is called in Japan, would fight it and even eventually hide himself from others in shame. He is very fond of his life as a human-- he doesn't need to worry about grand, otherworldly politics or the weight of what his mother and the rest of her team did to the land of Ente Isla. The worst thing he has to worry about is petty bullying, untrustworthy sales representatives, and bugs.

It's certainly heaven to him.

Being locked away from the world that he is growing more comfortable to calling his home and being forced into a form that is a twisted version of his base state will throw him for a loop that he won't know how to handle by himself. Which leads us to...

3. Connection is the only constant. What kind of bonds does your character form— fast and burning, slow and wary, deep and desperate? How might that shape their time in this world?

... This question. Urushihara is an Internet troll and a classic tsundere, but he ultimately thrives with connections that he never expected to make. He's a lot of talk and bluster, but when he's forced to take action he's steadfastly loyal to those who are loyal to him, and will put himself on the line to protect them even if their relationship is observed to be prickly to those on the outside.

The fact remains that, even though Lucifer talks a big game and acts high and mighty, he's never actually spent that much time in his extensive life alone. He's always had someone by his side, and his childish uncertainty will lead to him pack bonding with people who are nice, fun, whom he can help... Or even are just entertaining for him to pester. He would rather keep company with someone he's not fond of than actually being alone, even though he makes a big deal of his NEET status, how he doesn't read the room, and how he knows exactly the limits of how far he can push people.

Because, he actually can read the room and does have a high degree of emotional intelligence. He's just selective in how he uses his knowledge, much like how he's selective in how he participates.

4. What are two major forces in your character’s personality that are often in conflict? (Ex: logic vs emotion, power vs guilt, obedience vs rage, etc.)

Guilt is ultimately the fuel that drives the Demon General Lucifer-- and his role in Japan as Urushihara. He's seen first hand what his mother's team did to the little world that they crash landed on, in convincing the local humans that they were divine beings and how being treated as such had irrevocably altered the path of history for the people living on Ente Isla. This is what lead to him agreeing with his father Sataniel in leaving the second moon of Ente Isla and staying with him when he took the name of the first Demon King Satan and what ultimately keeps him in the game-- because any work he does with the Demon King, and hundreds of years later helping raise and train his successor, ultimately stands to benefit the humans who had their fate changed.

This guilt manifests in two ways: Pride, and Shame.

Pride is through the theatrics. He was raised to believe himself as a step above the others, that he was somehow Special, and this was useful to him as a means of helping inspire awe and fear. Leaving his place among the angels led to a significant loss of his natural power. He compensated by learning how to do as the demons did and absorb the energies of anger, fear, and other negative emotions to use as fuel for his magic. At times, yes, he would play with his food-- but the whole act boiled down to being a part of his role as a Demon General. Yes, he is proud of what he has accomplished. He is proud of who he is and what this represents, but there is more to this.

His shame manifests in his introversion, his apparent sloth, and how in many ways he acts as if he deserves the hardships he faced. As pointed out before, he did nothing to earn any of this-- and hasn't been able to do enough to prevent any of the machinations put into place by his mother from unfolding even further. whenever his full angelic nature is triggered by outside force, like being in the presence of a fully evolved and realized personification of a branch of the World Tree, he hides himself in white hot shame. He likewise goes cold when he encounters his former cohort, either icing them out or making them as uncomfortable and as ashamed of themselves as possible so they ultimately leave him alone.

The both of these collide in his inaction, and his status as a NEET-- a shameful title that he wears with a bizarre sense of pride. He doesn't NEED to do anything; he WANTS to do things better but is often unable to do so. With his celestial powers stripped from him and his inhuman nature locked from him by power of interdimensional gate, he's left with nothing to work with.

But, in a strange twist, it is only in having nothing that he finds that he has everything. A place to call home, a family of his choosing, and-- eventually-- a set of responsibilities that isn't grounded in guilt but a strange sense of love that he had never known before.


VESSEL SELECTION
Which Vessel Type are you choosing: Token or Offering? Offering

Why does this Vessel type feel appropriate for your character? Because he's been in both standard human and non-human forms-- and, per his declaration that heaven is a single room apartment in Japan for him, he would much prefer to stay human.

This is not about what he wants.

Choose one OR list three subclass options within your chosen Vessel type that you think would suit them:

Choosing one: Seraph, because he's already an angel and I want his angelic nature to come back wrong. Biblically accurate, like-- not the humanoid aliens with wings and magic like he is used to. Even just having his baseline Angelic nature activated fills him with shame-- this will be a step beyond that.

Personality



What is your character most afraid of? How are they defined by this fear? (100-300 words)

-Lucifer is most afraid of not having a place to live as himself. Although he left the Heavens of his own accord because he was bored, he was left with no place to go after King Satan fled from Ente Isla with Alciel when the Hero Emilia Justina defeated them. Injured as he was from the battle, he took on a bad deal with a traitor from the Church's ranks and turned his back on his comrades for a chance to potentially return to heaven.

Ultimately, this deal brought him to Modern Japan, where he ended up facing his old Boss once again and did his utmost to destroy everything Satan had gained-- and, somehow, was only punished with a punch to his face for his traitorous behavior. In hindsight, he knew he was being used. Returning Lucifer to heaven would have set the corrupted priest up for a Sainthood-- and, he realized that returning to heaven isn't what he wanted at all.

To him, heaven is a six tatami, second floor, one room apartment where he can live a carefree life.


What is your character's greatest desire? How are they defined by this desire? (100-300 words)

Lucifer is a simple guy with simple desires; he only wants to live as interesting and carefree life as possible, to cope with the weight of immortality. Despite his rank and connections in the Heavens, he left of his own accord to stir up trouble alongside one of the current King Satan's earliest predecessors. He had no ambition to lead, so being subordinate was the perfect role for him to stretch his wings, his powers, and his intellect in as low stakes an environment as he could find.

This desire translates into his similar behavior on Earth, where he spends his days shopping doing research on the computer and playing video games investigating various rumors of magical incidents within their area, even at one point sending his comrades on a trip to a haunted school after hours to investigate a possible inter-dimensional gate... and pick up his handheld game system.

If any vice could be applied to Lucifer, its Sloth. He's not totally useless, but he is perfectly content to live a quiet life without any responsibilities and without any eyes on him.

...He will also think of Luci and Lucifer as his online handle and be fairly cavalier about using this name.


How will not having memories change your character? What core personality traits, if any, will change? How? (200-300 words)

Urushihara, also known as General Lucifer in Satan's Army on the fantastical world of Ente Isla... will regard himself as an ordinary, if nerdy, human. He won't understand the few memories he does have from Ente Isla, and the ones he can understand he'll most likely interpret as being a holdover from all of the online gaming he does. As he unlocks his angelic abilities, this is going to morph into him believing that he manifested in Wellstone as his MMO character, and that his lifetime in Ente Isla is that MMO.

Overall, not much else about his general personality will change. He will be as low energy and sarcastic as he is in his canon, coming across as an emo teenager or a disaffected young adult who chose to stay inside for his gap year. He will be very curious, though, and will likely find clever ways to spy on people since he cannot exist entirely as a NEET that never goes outside in Wellstone. He's aware that he needs people, and the one thing he still fears the most is being bored.

This is going to mean that he is going to manifest as the teenager with every single social disease, the one that gets into messy situations and cannot get himself out of them because his legs fell asleep while he was sitting down, or he forgot how his tongue works.
