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.
