GENERAL INFO Character Name Iblis Nickname Maram al-Nur, Mara, Devil, Satan Gender Intersex Shift Pronouns They Them She Her Age 4000 Race Djinn - Ifrit Sexuality Pansexual ------------ Occupation Singer, Wish Giver Affiliation Lucifer, Angra Manyu ABILITIES POSESSIONS Abilities The First Flame Once a divine star of the heavenly host Iblis was said to be the first fire of creation, they are a Jinn, servant to the highest order. Specifically they are an Ifrit a powerful creature of divine flame whose nature permits them the ability to travel the world and commune with Mortal and Myth. Wreathed in a blue flame Iblis is also a Jinn fallen from grace, and freed from their heavenly bonds. - Fire Manipulation Iblis can manipulate fire to their whim, and as a Jinn generates a blue flame which often envelopes them when not suppressed. They are immune to heat and cold because of this. - Healing Light The light of their flames can be used to heal and regenerate wounds upon themself and others. - Polymorph As an Ifrit they are normally amorphous beings of fire and smoke, but because of their nature they can assume any shape or form they so choose. Every detail from their gender to their voice can be altered to minutiae. - Supernatural Sense A Jinn possesses a supernatural sense for other non-human beings. They can see, smell, and track them if they are close enough. This sense also gives them a basic understanding of what they are, unless the individual is suppressing it by some method. - Immortality The Jinn rarely die but dissipate, are immune to the effects of time and age. They can live forever theoretically. Despite this they may be killed by magical methods and can be hurt disabled. x- Submerge Smother Fire needs a source to burn from. If you can drown, smother, or choke it out it can limit the range of Iblis flames or their manipulation of them. x- True Faith Ever believed in something so purely? Put it above your very existence and trusting in it without burden of proof. It is and it completes you. This can protect you from Iblis and even allow you to harm the Jinn. One cannot simply believe in miracles and magic. They require an unfaltering trust in it to the point of almost religious affinity. Whatever their true faith is it can be channeled as a natural ward against the Devil. x- Blessed Water Holy Oil Lets be honest this really, really sucks. It wont kill Iblis but Blessed Water can weaken them incredibly. Whereas holy oil that burned can provide a barrier of which this Jinn cannot cross without tremendous pain however, you could also set them on fire with Holy Oil and that would have a chaotic and torturous effect. Gift of the Jinn The Jinn are strange and elemental beings with the power to grant the wishes of others. It is a magical transaction that binds the host to their Jinn once their wishes are granted, but the cost is their soul. While Iblis cannot grant their own wishes their power allows them to some minor abilities to alter their environment. - Law of Three An individual may seek Iblis to grant a wish. When they do the person is bound with the Jinn by the Law of Three, which states unless the Jinn is released from service they will receive any three wishes within limits that they desire. Once all three wishes are fulfilled the Soul of the individual is given to Iblis. As the Wish Giver, Iblis, can refuse to form a bond with anyone they desire however, once a bond is formed it is permanent until fulfilled. - Transmutation Iblis can alter the physical objects of the world into different shapes and materials. - Summoning Drawing upon other dimensions and planes of existence Iblis can summon individuals and things objects, food, magical components, etc to them within their availability. Can also transport themselves to a Wisher when needed. - Desire Intuition A Jinn has a gift of knowing what is truly in the hearts of others, and can communicate fulfill them with their minor abilities. Not like telepathy Iblis does read the mind of others but their hearts. Should you make wish with them, they will always know your hearts desire from any distance so long as one wish remains. - Soul Collection To those of whom Iblis has serviced three wishes their souls belong to the Jinn. Collected souls are bond to the whims of the Wish Giver. If they are alive they are compelled to follow any command that does not put them in harms way or is within their ability. Thus Iblis cannot force a person to kill themselves, but could command them to hold their breath till they passed out. When they die their souls are absorbed by Iblis and become a part of their power. x- Bound When Wish Giving, Iblis, burdened by the whims of others and must complete their task within reason. A person can usurp the Law of Three by either refusing to make a third wish easier said than done, which while it saves their soul will keep Iblis connected. The only way to break this bond is to become completely content and at piece. If you satisfy or let go of your deepest desires then Iblis cannot grant a wish and the Law of Three becomes release. Though if you do rekindle this bond at a later time your number of wishes are the same. x- Resurrection Iblis cannot bring anybody who has not recently died past seven days back from the dead. x- Additional Wishes The number of wishes cannot be extended. x- Killing Wish You cannot directly kill or cause the death of another person through Wish. x- Free-Will While you can influence others with a wish, or alter them, you cannot use a wish to overrule their free-will. Anybody under the affect may resist a wish placed upon them if it defies who they truly are and as such changes are not permanent. x- Specifics Wishes tend to lean in the favor of the Wish Granters interpretation. But it is possible to curb that fact by cleverly organizing their wish with detail. One can never truly have a Perfect Wish but you can safe-guard yourself with foreknowledge nevertheless, be careful not to place too many details as it can deeply upset Iblis, and will try to find a flaw and execute it as maliciously as possible. Easiest wishes to defend are the simplest and the smallest. Notable Skills NA Possessions NA APPEARANCES Play-By Sofia Boutella Description Iblis has had many shapes and forms in their long life. As a Jinn cast out from their heavenly post their natural visage has been stained black as soot and ash. Their humanoid shape though darkened is visible in all possible detail by the cloak of blue fire flickers off of them revealing a slender almost androgynous appearance. Iblis in their natural form possesses no distinct sexual features, though their body is lithe and shapely. Their eyes also burn a haunting pale blue with a piercing quality when they focus upon you. But over time the infamous Jinn has taken on a distinctly female form. Choosing to appear as a young middle-eastern woman, of vaguely Arabic Persian descent, their blazing form dimmed to warm bronze and human tones. As Maram al-Nur or Mara, they have the frame and feature of a natural dancer with small breast and curves. Their hair is a dark black and straight with a silky sheen. And eyes once shimmering bright darken with swirls of rich earthy color. A pronounced aquiline nose and a sharp brow give an effortless pensive gaze, balancing out their heart shaped face and their plush pouting lips. As Mara they often choose dresses and styles of elegance. Tending to Peacock and draw attention they enjoy things that dazzle and flow, but when it comes to business Iblis chooses function over statement. Regardless the Jinn will remain fashionable. PERSONALITY Description Misunderstood is the word you may use to describe Iblis. How many names have been stuck to them through history? Devil and Satan the most prominent, but what of deceiver, tempter, liar, and demon? It is true that the Jinn has had their fair share of poor behavior. At one time they were vicious and hateful. Willfully lashing out at the human race and torturing them. In the same breath they were still reeling from a rejection by their paternal figure on a cosmic scale. To be cast out of Heaven to Earth would leave even the best emotionally off-kilter. Time changes all and however Iblis has become a new being. As Maram al-Nur they are feminine Ifrit who enjoys the pleasures of life, and occasionally tempts others to make wishes on them. Their morality centers more on the fence. Mara doesnt go out of their way to hurt other, but at the same time holds no qualms if they do. There is underlying believe that every individual is responsible for their own well-being. If they do not take strides to avoid harm, then it is their fault regardless of others intentions. As a Wish Giver there is a similar personality profile as Drug Dealers. For Iblis they want people to make wishes and enter into bond with them. At the same time they dont always enjoy or want to deal with a wishee, thus may make strides to tempt or convince their target into poor decisions. After all when wishes are granted the person becomes a servant to them. In death their souls will also come to empower Iblis revitalizing them with new power. With honesty they do not trust easy and have a history of abandonment, abuse, and betrayal. The closest she has ever been with another is Lucifer who constantly leaves them. Ever longing for a connection to something greater, they miss the unconditional love of their creator. At heart they are highly emotional, judgmental, and flawed. But they are also beautiful, vibrant, and spontaneous. You will never meet another with such burning passion. HISTORY It is a story older than time. In the beginning there was a creative force that gave shape to the all that exists, and the first of its creations were the heavenly host Angels, Devas, Etc. With every version of the tale the host is given purpose to serve no others than the creator nor submit to them however, the story changes when the Creator demands that the heavenly host bow to mortals. This contradictory demand forges a schism. This story always has a figure defined as the Morningstar. The most loved and perfect of the heavenly host who would refuse submission to mortals and this caused rebellion. And it is in the casting down of the Morningstar which complicates the story. Supernatural creatures have seen many beings of pride that choose to rebel against their masters. Many who claim lineage from the first, but there are only three beings that can truly claim to have been it. First is the father of pride Lucifer, then there is tempter Iblis, and finally the minister of chaos Angra Mainyu. At one time they were all the Morningstar. In its falling and rebellion it split into a trinity of beings that would become the infamous Devil of myth. For Iblis their journey was to be a Jinn of Fire, who exiled from heaven, wandered the lands in anger. Their spite towards humanity led to them forming bonds with them in the form of wishes. Three of them exactly. By giving them their innermost desires Iblis was able to steal their souls. History would know them as a deceiver and liar, corruptor of men, whose only purpose was to defile creation. But the truth was far different. The Morningstar so loved the creator that they could not bear to hold any other creation above them. As Iblis they inherited this burden. For them their story was one of tragedy. The only home and love that they had known was stripped away because of an impossible demand. This would follow Iblis through their time in the world, and would make them divisive figure. Constantly searching for and finding the other two aspects of the Morningstar Iblis life moves in cycles. Time has also given them a certain tolerance to Mortals. In turn the Jinn has assimilated into mythical communities around the world. In another cycle she searches for Lucifer and Angra Mainyu for a purpose she is yet clear about. Yet no good can come of these three unifying again, that is certain. Most in the supernatural community know the name Iblis and hold a great disdain and fear of it. The Jinn is seen as an evil agent of chaos, mostly because a number of individuals have had firsthand encounters with them and came out worse for wear. The Devil has wronged many. Fortunately most do not know Maram al-Nur Mara and Iblis as one and the same. To them Mara is just a troubled Ifrit with a gifted voice who sings at local bars. By reputation she is simply a minor trouble that the locals warn you about. She deals in wishes on the side, and that makes her something of a criminal in some peoples eyes. Often being called disparaging terms like succubus and gold-digger because some view her Wish Granting as nothing more than her preying on the vulnerable and misguided.
