Keith (MKRP)

From Egs Mayhem

Name:

Keith

Age:

23

Sex:

Male

Species:

3/4ths demon, 1/4th human

Overview:

Born to a half-demon mother and a lesser demon lord father, he had a surprisingly happy childhood. He visited the underworld several times for "bring your child to work day", and eventually realized that he didn't want to take over the family business. Naturally, his father tried to reach some kind of compromise, which resulted in him agreeing to become a prosecuting attorney. However, as a result of a long time fascination with superheroes he dreams of one day fighting crime in secret, with a cheezy and obvious alias like The Demon.

Keith met Bob when Bob's car ran out of gas on a highway, and Bob thanked him by inviting him to a end-of-term bash. Keith was the one who named the group "The Crew", and apparently did so out of some kind of standard superhero desire to give things obvious names.

Appearance:

Brown hair with a blood red tint, and soft green eyes. He has a tail and leathery black wings, which he keeps folded or wrapped around himself when not in use. He has no horns. His height is above average - 6'4", or 203cm.

Powers/Abilities:

As a part demon, he has a bit of skill summoning and controlling fire, as well as the ability to be healed by it. Due to his human part, he's capable of crossing running water, and only finds holy water and sacred places to be moderately painful - he's trying to build up a tolerance to religious symbols by decking his body out with them on weekends, but so far he hasn't had much luck.

Due to his mostly demonic nature, he must feed on the lifeforce of others from time to time. This causes him some trouble due to his desire to be a superhero, but he's rationalized it to the point where he's comfortable with himself. Currently, he's stealing little bits of the excess lifeforce Dese gains whenever she's near fire, which has the effect of calming her down without actually doing any harm. This makes the lesser fire god have mixed feelings, since while Keith is stealing his pseudoavatar's life force, he also starts a lot of fires when he's practicing to be a superhero.

Additionally, Keith has quick regeneration, enhanced strength, a prehensile tail, and can use his wings to fly. He has limited magical capabilities, but no training in how to use them. Additionally, he has a passive ability known as "the demon's contract", which forces mortals to follow through on any agreements they might make with him, unless he chooses to cancel the agreement. This adds a level of frustration to his life, as casual agreements happen far too often in everyday conversation.

Combat:

Although his fighting style is Golden-Age hero brawling, it works out fairly well in conjunction with his regeneration and strength. He's the second most capable fighter in the crew, and certainly somebody worth having at your back in a fight.

He eschews weapons unless there's no other choice, and even then will only use them against things that aren't sentient. If circumstances are right, then he tends to favor handguns since they allow him to switch back to his bare hands the fastest.
