Orias

Siblings: The Angels

**Orias** is a Great Marquis of Hell, and the 59th Spirit of the Ars Goetia. He has thirty legions of demons under his command.

## Overview

He is a dark and black-hearted predator who holds dominion over transformation, prediction, sadism, prophecy, destruction, astrology, lust for death, honors, blood magic, and the location of treasure.

It is absolute knowledge by all that know his or his kind existence in any shape or form, that one must pray, encourage and endorse a real atonement of themselves to the one and only God of Abraham so that the gates of heaven open up and let them/him in, and choose good over than bad.

He is known for being both a scholar and power leader of several legions.

## Appearance

Orias appears as a lion riding on a strong horse, with a serpent's tail, and carrying in his right hand two great serpents hissing.

He has appeared to others as a viscous-looking man in black street clothes with pure white flesh, clawed hands, two big, red eyes with orange pupils, and a lip-less, fanged mouth.

Orias has also appeared as a male African pinning a lion down and holding hissing snakes in his other hand.

## Powers and Abilities

**Animal Companionship:** Orias can form a sacred and powerful union between Orias and animal companions, and they both tend to protect and care for one another and assist each other in multiple situations. Orias can also share an empowering friendship so that they draw strength from and granting them the power to achieve anything and overcome potential obstacle in their way. The bond they have with their animals is purely sacred because of the pure love they have for one another and use it to synchronize each other and gain a variety of powers they use for themselves.

**Animal Imitation:** Orias can use/imitate animal powers, they can run like an ostrich, swing like a monkey, sprint like a cheetah, move like a cat, take the strength of an ant, track like a dog, hide like a turtle, constrict like a snake, etc. They cannot transform into animals, as this power only enables Orias to mimic animalistic traits while still in their original form. Orias can mimic multiple animals at once.

**Army Manipulation:** Orias can create, call or otherwise gain control/access to/over an army and control it unchallenged.

**Authority:** Orias has the power of authority; a power that grants them the right to rule, enforce orders, and establish laws within their dominion, even extending to the supernatural realm. This authority bestows upon them total control over their designated domain including supernatural elements, such as mystical forces, living entities, mythical creatures, and otherworldly dimensions that shape their environment.

**Dark Power:** Orias wields an extraordinary dark power; a primeval and essence of cosmic balance from which they derive a myriad of abilities rooted to the source of darkness. In all its power, this fundamental element is a wellspring of shadow, encompassing realms both mundane and esoteric natures, which inherently opposes all things light. Through their mastery of darkness, Orias commands extraordinary capabilities associated with the obscurity of the unknown, channeling and harnessing these dark forces to their advantage.

**Demon Physiology:** Orias possesses the traits, attributes, characteristics and/or abilities of demon, a malevolent spirit usually of Satanic divinity or associated with Hell. They achieve this either through full or partial transformation into demons, choosing to mimic certain aspects of demonic beings, or simply already being a demon in the first place. Most commonly Orias retains their general form but with some additions; horns, claws, fangs, and tail are common, as are wings, more fit (muscular and/or larger) body and color change (red, blue or black dominate) but there are several kinds of demons who are far less humanoid, varying from strange, surreal or even absolutely horrific.

**Demonic Source:** Orias has demonic powers, which can be obtained a number of different ways. Orias may be a demonic being or have demonic ancestry, transform into a demon, channel or act as a vessel for a demon, have the power or soul of a demon, or mimic/steal powers from a demon.

**Esoteric Power:** Orias possesses an internal and personal force of esoteric and supernatural nature that lies dormant within them as it ultimately acts as the core of their otherworldly powers that by its unique and esoteric nature, can endow supernatural abilities with only their skill, personal power-level, imagination/knowledge, and/or morality to define the borders.

**Hybrid Physiology:** Orias possesses the genetic traits and abilities of two or more different species.
