Grimbright

General InfoFull Name: [Redacted] GrimbrightNickname(s): Grimbright, GrimAge: 4,018 (Daemon equivalent of 40)
[They appear closer to 30ish, but that's mostly because of the shapeshifting]Gender: Genderfluid
(She/He/They)Orientation: Asexual / BiromanticSpecies: Succubus / IncubusHeight: Stays around 6'3 but can become up to 12ft tall if neededWeight: VariesBirthday: November 13thZodiac Sign: ScorpioDisguise Source: ShapeshiftingPersonality / Description:A rather cold and cruel shell is often what people are met with when they first talk to the hooded stranger known as Grimbright. A self-appointed guardian of Eath - who they refer to as their "ward" and "the childe" more often than her actual name - they seem as if they'll do anything to protect her. Much in the way that Eath's friend Hax would, but a lot more deadly. Claiming they're doing so as a "favor to her fathers" though it's unclear if that is the truth, or if there's some ulterior motive for their actions.Grimbright as a person is standoffish and often times rude to anyone new they meet. Sometimes even outright violent, as they will not hesitate to pull a knife on someone if they seem sketchy, or simply if they annoy them. It wouldn't be far fetched to say they don't have many, or any, friends as they often keep to themself in the shadows.Rumor has it, though, that there is a softer side to this cold-hearted daemon. After all, why would they be watching out for Eath if they didn't care in some way shape or form?Powers & Abilities:- Shapeshifting: Grimbright can shapeshift into any person they've touched with their bare hands or into a form that the person they touched would find attractive. This change in appearance is only skin deep and shapeshifting into a person does not give them that person's abilities.It's not a power they can turn off, however, so often they wear gloves if they have to touch someone. If questioned he claims this is mostly to avoid finding out what strangers are attracted to, unless they absolutely need to know.It is unclear if their current appearance is their "default" form, a variation of their "default" form, or another guise they prefer to wear.Generally, when shapeshifting, Grimbright can get up to about 10-12 feet tall at max. They can also have up to six functioning arms, eight functioning eyes, a set of wings, and their barbed tail. They can also have their skin harden into an almost chitinous material, giving them a natural armor at times.- Flight: Grimbright can shapeshift or summon a pair of wings and take flight with them. Though they do retain a almost bat-like appearance no matter what form they're in. They are rather big and bulky though, so she tends to keep them away unless needed.- Prehensile & Barbed Tail: Their tail is prehensile and can lift small objects, hold a dagger, and wrap around their waist if they don't feel like shapeshifting it away. They can't hang by it, of course, but he has a range of what they can do with it.The tail is also barbed, which Grimbright can fold back to make it safe to touch, or flare up so she can whack someone with it and stick them with the poisonous barbs. The tail is also strong enough and fast enough to impale someone through the chest if he so chooses.- Venom / Poison Barbs: Grimbright's fangs do carry venom in them, much like a snake. Their venom, while it can be deadly in larger doses, usually only causes the following:- Feelings of euphoria and bliss, heightening of more desirable senses (in short, it's a strong aphrodisiac)
- Numbness of limbs / Loss or degraded motor skills
- Light Hallucinations (Makes Grimbright look like either someone else or makes them look like something the person stung would desire) / DizzinessThe same applies to the barbs on her tail / the very tip of her tail (think like a scorpion)It is not mind control, the person affected by the venom or barbs is still aware and can act of their own volition. It simply brings about those feelings and heightens the senses. It also makes the death by the venom painless. Dying from the venom isn't too common though, Grimbright would have to actively inject enough of it in order for it to become deadly.-Poison Immunity: As it says on the tin, Grimbright is immune to poisons in general.- Charisma: While often cold and a bit bitchy, Grimbright does know how to manipulate their tone, their body language, and carry a pleasant conversation well enough to be perceived as desirable and get information out of people. They know how people work, even though they often resort to more violent measures.- Assassin Training: A trained assassin out of necessity, they are very dexterous and light on their feet. Fast to a degree that boarders on supernaturally so, though it doesn't seem it to the untrained eye. They have training in many kinds of weapons, but prefer daggers and knives to make a quick and silent kill.- Shadow Magic: Like most daemons, magical prowess comes more naturally than to humans. Though it is still a skill that has to be learned. To go hand in hand with the assassin training Grimbright has trained herself to manipulate shadows. Creating weapons from them, stepping between them, silencing herself (or others) and blending in with the darkest corners of the world. She doesn't use this magic often, but when she does it can be useful, if not outright deadly.- Information Broker: Grimbright has... various sources where they get their information. Either outside sources, or following Eath or Eath's friends around to make sure those she interacts with don't mean her harm. If you want information, Grimbright can probably find a way to get it for you... provided they want to. They're not in the business for making friends per say.Weaknesses:"Fuck around and find out."
-GrimbrightVerse / Blog Deviations- Ever Watchful Shade:◈ Grimbright has hence revealed herself to both Eath and Hax and has actively acted as a protector for Eath
◈ He has also recently been thrown in a dungeon after being discovered to be the reason Hax has lost their left arm.
◈ Had a bit of a mental break, starting to be a slightly better person - or at least channeling the angry in a better direction.
◈ Grimbright's hair has been cut short after his body was possessed by another spirit - his old master which he had killed years prior. He is very touchy about this.
◈ Tends to try to keep a layer of his natural chitin on his back / limbs / upper face ever since the above incident
◈ He's free of the dungeon, but presently wears a amulet they can be tracked with given to her by Lord Alexander and Eath's father Vassago, the latter of which she is now bound in a magical contract to protect Eath, Hax, and anyone they deem their allies.- Finder of Aetheria:◈ No Current Deviations.- Human:◈ TBA- Fantasy:◈ TBA

Short Bio - (Will Update at a later Time)
The daughter of Hax and Somnus (@heamvir on tumblr), being a half kobold half celestial child, there is still much to discovered about what powers, magical abilities, etc she inherited from each of her parents.
