Eurynome: Superior demon who feeds on corpses; the Prince of Death
{ue-rin'-ah-mee}

Eurynome is a superior demon and prince of death. He wears a fox skin to cover the sores covering his body, and he has huge teeth. A statue of him exists in the temple of Delphi depicting him having a black complexion, huge wolf-like teeth, and sitting on a vulture skin. Pausanias said he fed on carrion and dead bodies.

" Take hark for I am a demon, and although my life revolves around lies. It has come about a time that I put an end to this slander. The above is all true save the description of my physical form. I do in fact feed on corpses after I kill my victims myself. I do not cover myself in skin of another, and my teeth be not jagged nor protruding in a grotesque fashion. From Abbadon I ascend to pass my own judgement on this world. Damn the morning star for he holds no bounds on my night furry.

Let him send his legions his generals, and all those who stand before me to stop my wrath. I care not, I welcome it, and I will find who woke me from my prison in that pit"

These words were found carved into the sides of the temple of Delphi only a few years back as the Demon who professes himself to be Eurynome rose from the ashes of Abbadon to strike back and instill fear and vengeance in others. Below you will find the information on said beast who has turned away and against Satan himself to go on his own accord.

❂Name: Eurynome
❂Age: One of the Ancients
❂ Appearance:
❂ Abilities:
✺ Demonic Sight It is simply another means in which most demons see the world. While some literally have a third eye in which they view the world from. There are others who have an implied third eye, and when they close both of their regular eyes the implied third invisible eye opens for them to see the world through a demons vision.
✺ Lamenting Gaze When Eurynome opens his eyes he can choose to activate this or decide not to. However if he so chooses when he opens his eyes all that fall within his gaze will be bestowed with a gift. A gift of sorrow, hatred, longing, guilt, shame and self loathing. Those who fall into his sight are inflicted with this in their very soul.
that overwhelms those inflicted
If one is facing him and is a demon or and angel it is stronger against them being that they are personified souls. If they are an angel or a demon purely by title I.E. named monsters due to what the populace says if they still have souls within their body they can fall prey to this attack as well. The only thing they can use to fight it off is their will power. Generally it's a crippling feeling

✺ Deception It is simple and rather straight forward. Eurynome has the ability to disguise his body to look like that of a regular human whenever he wishes. The disguise isn't just basic magic either. Literally he will grow human skin over his own, his burning hair will lay down against his flesh and his wings will wrap their flames around him, become smoke and then clothing.


✺ Enhanced Abilities His speed , strength and agility are far beyond the structure of an average human. No beasts of the earth, no known beasts of the earth belong in the same category. Eurynome constantly uses his agility in his combative nature. In addition although he does not control flames his fire fueled wings do give him flight.

In addition to this, being a higher class demon also means his body structure far surpasses many other demons. It is said his bones are that of metal, and his muscles stone covered in obsidian skin. if one was even able to cut him it would be rather shocking.

✺ Tear Eurynome can make any slightest touch from his form be it his finger or a light brush against his body turn into a deep impact. Meaning he could flick someone and blow a hole through the back of their skull by way of his Tear ability. A small impact can be turned into a massive impact at his slightest thought. From research it has been found that Eurynome loves hearing the crunching sound of bones and the splash of wet organs against the ground, each other, bones and flesh. Truly he is a horrid creature.

In addition to this ability he can also work it in the reverse. Meaning he can make a heavy impact against him turn into something light as a feather. In doing so his body would avoid damage of say: being crushed by a building or some large object. Of course in order for this to work he has to know it's coming, or figure it out in enough time to avoid the damage.

For example if someone threw a bus at him from behind and for whatever reason he did not hear it coming. Although his natural demonic nature would keep him from dying he wouldn't be able to avoid the damage of the hit or soften the blow once it hit him because he did not see it coming. However once hit if he is flying towards a wall with the aspect of being crushed he could then activate the *Tear ability and keep his body from being crushed between the wall and the bus.

With that being said If Eurynome did see the bus coming he wouldn't have to move just activate his *Tear ability which would make the impact to his body seem like nothing while the impact on the bus was that of an object that could not be moved. In essence the bus would probably be split in half.


✺ Alteration: This is a more delicate and complex process that Eurynome has mastered. Upon contact with his skin if he so wills it he can make whatever it is that is touching him break down. Meaning not just break down and grow weak, he will tap into the molecular structure and revert it back to it's most basic form, speed up, or slow down the molecules to alter the structure in itself. The hazardous side of this would be that Eurymone does not know the molecular structure of everything on this planet or realm. Meaning if he was attempting to change someone or somethings molecular structure to that of plastic he is unaware of what it's structure consists of as such they would probably be turned into goop.

However breaking it down to the basic molecular status of it's original structure is easy due to the fact he would just be reverting it back to it's natural state. Say he took hold of a blade and began the process although it is still in it's natural state of steal it would return to how it was before it had been tampered with and altered. Meaning it would return to the chunk of metal out of the handle and out of the grip of the wielder. That is the simplest level in which he could do this. The more complex meaning would be to revert every compound of the molecular structure into the bare atoms and nuclei which would result into the item vanishing in thin air.

He would do this by halting the vibration of the nuclei and electrons or even lowering their temperature below absolute zero. Simply put he could make something vanish into thin air at his touch or collapse into ingredients instead of the being or inanimate object that was once before him. Once he has tampered with the molecular structure of an item, creature, or just being in general he has it memorized and can mimic it at any point in time he wishes. In addition to this he can use this knowledge to craft items he needs, say for example his Mace shatters, well he can rebuild it.

Eurymone does however need to make contact with his hands in order to complete this task. No other part of his skin can do it at the current state in power he has.


✺ Psychic link With Eurynome's mouth sewn shut his only other option to speak to someone other than taking the stitches out temporarily he has to form a psychic link with a person. This can be done by being around them long enough or looking into their eyes for about a minute. Once done he has access to their mind and can project his thoughts into there's, even images. However he can not cause hallucinations or anything like that. Just horrid images or what he wants to get across. Unfortunately this isn't a godly ability and is a double edged sword. He has access to their mind but they also have access to his. Meaning they can say or project images into his head as well.
❂ Weapon: Mace
❂ Fighting Style:
✺Chaotic Whim This style of fighting is oddly unique in it's own way to every Demon. In the classification of Demons that come from "Abbadon" it is just like saying Martial Arts. For humans on earth. However Eurynome refuses to dwindle his own style of fighting into the different classifications that go along with Chaotic Whim and just says he is a practitioner of said art form.

The particular style he uses utilizes the abilities of most demons to bare witness to all that is unseen. I.E. he fights as though he were blind but being able to see nevertheless. Eurynome can see perfectly fine but he prefers the demonic view of the world. See when his eyes are closed his "third eye" so to speak is constantly open. The world they see before them through this eye is very different.

What normal people see as beauty they see to be malice. Every segment is different from one another due to the truth of it all. Everywhere looks different from one another. So this is what he sees unless he opens his eyes.

With his Mace in hand Eurynome will react more off of reflex than anything else. Generally he takes a defensive look on it unless tempered into doing more. That would be Chaotic Whim V1

His second form that he will take without name is Chaotic Whim V2 Is a straight forward onslaught of attacks. He will strike relentless and observe evasions, look for weak points and isolate them. There are a few special techniques he utilizes but no one really knows too much about those.

Although his mace is spiked he often in most cases tries to avoid impaling his victims and hits them with the blunt parts of it in order to prolong their suffering. Though there are occasions where he will intentionally strike them with a spike in a non vital area in effort to make the fight more enjoyable for him. As he would refer to the fights, torture sessions.



❂ Alignment:
He knows of the existence of Good and Evil and he knows of the existence of Laws and morals. He ignores both good and evil, moral and immoral for they are foolish whims of creatures who need guidance. Eurynome is in no way neutral but does not claim one side or the other. He is on his own side, and his side is the way of judgement. His alignment is Judgement not just or upright, but judgement at it's core and in itself.

❂ Bio:
Eurynome is a demon through and through. Born in Abbadon of it's flames and hatred he was sent out to do the Devil's bidding. He sat calmly most days, killed those who got in the way and dined on them happily. However this grew tiresome for Eurynome and although he was a demon of loyalty, loyalty only goes so far with their kind.

In his boredom he sought not only more excitement but to break away from any sort of rule. He struck out against The Morning Star, but not in a challenge of power, in a challenge of freedom. Not being a kind, grateful, or even forgiving creature The Morning Star struck Eurynome down without even giving him a fighting chance.

Once weakened the Devil himself placed a curse on his demon Prince of Death who ruled over legions so that he may never speak the truth over the shame that would befall his title. Sowing the black demons mouth shut tight with white thread and casting him down into a casket guarded by the legions he once commanded Eurynome could never be woken again. The only possible way for this demon to come back to the surface world let alone into Abbadon was for a pure soul to release him through sacrifice.

As one could imagine the odds of any sort of pure soul being in Abbadon were rather low. In addition to this one would surmise that the pure soul would have to fight the legions, kill them and sacrifice himself in order to free Eurynome. In fact that is exactly how The Morning Star wanted it to work. However things did not go as planned.

A certain culture manifested their own way of gathering magic, through sacrifice they would gain their abilities to control their innate gifts not having to draw from Mana or any other source of energy other than the energy within their own bodies. As such one such Mage named Banadel took to hear the meaning of this and went on a homage. In his deep state of meditation he banished his own soul to Abbadon. Of course this was entirely by accident but Abbadon is where he ended up.

The lightning mage still with dormant powers traversed the landscape having not been brought there he was hunted and corned in the same area where Eurynome was tombed. Eurynome did not call out to this mage in any fashion. Banadel's actual power source spoke to him, and he needed more power to survive this encounter, all of these demons that were now ready to tear at his flesh.

Having decided he would give up his entire right arm from the shoulder down he had placed his hand inadvertendly on the casket and sacrificed his arm to his will of magic, his innate gift. The energies swirling around that arm broke the seal on the casket and the electrical surge was sent pulsing through Eurynome. The two were linked from that point on. The pure soul had left a white heart shaped scar in the middle of Eurynome's chest and the Demon left a black heart shaped scar on Banadel's chest.

Knowing nothing of what just happened Banadel used his new found electrical abilities to escape back to his body which was now pale and had the black heart scar. His right arm left as nothing but an electrical current as his command. Even his hair was blue as pure ice surging with power.

Eurynome On the other hand pressed his hands to the top of the casket and pushed it open slowly. From the crack his power spilled out flooding Abbadon as did his rage. Even the Morning star rose from throne to seek out how this was possible, how it happened and why it happened.

Sitting up Eurynome kept his eyes closed until he stood firmly and fully outside of his casket with all of his demonic blood rushing through his body. His hair that was silk to the touch, smooth as it flowed into the air like smoke in it's white texture. Behind him were wings folded of smoke. They could not be touched just lovely pale clouds cascading down behind him.

The morning star grew closer, but he would be far too little too late. Eurynome questioned all his legion before him as to who would follow at his side. Those around stated clearly they would not, for if he could be imprisoned so easily then it would be foolish to turn against the morning star. These ridiculous vermine in front of him failed to realize just how much power Eurynome had at his disposal. So he slowly opened his eyes to show them.

Precisely the moment his eyes opened all the torn souls were stricken with such overwhelming guilt, betrayal, dismay and sorrow that they were crippled by the demon before them. The Prince of Death Eurynome took up his weapon and destroyed every last member of his legion as they quivered below him. Their blood now stained his black, black skin. His hair turned to flames as did his wings as he slaughtered them all.

When the Morning Star arrived he grew startled but not displeased, more annoyed than anything else. Quickly he questioned what Eurynome planned to do: take revenge and be put back in his place. Eurynome retorted by pointing at his sealed lips and closing his eyes slowly. His hair and wings returned to thick silk feeling smoke about his form. Smiling faintly blood poured from the wounds that would never heal and swam over the lower half of his face like a mask.

Eurynome walked to The Morning Star and stopped just next to him. Now speaking through demonic telepathy. “We will play a game, send your legions, your generals, all that you have after me. Find out who dies first. You or them.” The morning Star lifted his hand to strike down in resentment and anger. Eurynome cracked the eye closes to the star and one of his bangs lit a flame. The Morning Star being nothing but a soul, a spirit manifested felt the overwhelming guilt flood his body to the point hat he fell not to his knees but to his back. Eurynome had not been sleeping while sealed, but gathering strength. So to did he calmly walk out of Abbadon with his own agenda. Abbadon was his last stop, and The Morning Star the least of his worries. For now he would find the pure soul who released him, and do with the world as he pleased.

As evil as his nature would depict Eurynome was not a creature of moral standing, willing he would kill, destroy, pillage, and do things worse than death to any who come his way. He just needed to find that pure soul for his own means.

However by a twisted turn of fate the realm in which Eurynome came to be resurrected from escaping his prison was a land of multiple dieites. Not one that worshiped God and Satan as the one true powers between good and evil. This was something Eurynome found he could take advantage of.

Still wishing to find the soul who released him Eurynome gained a new manner in which to do it: He would overthrow the high God, and take his place. With the world in his palm he would in turn be able to find this creature who released him. As for being a just ruler of a realm, Eurynome cares not about this. Let them do as they wish if he is personally angered he would do something about it. However these are just ideas. Eurynome wants flesh, and well corpses. He is not justice, good or evil, he is judgement.
