Satan

**Satan**, also known as **the Devil**, is a Demon in the Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a Fallen Angel, who used to possess great piety and beauty, but rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of Demons. In Judaism, Satan is typically regarded as a metaphor for the *yetzer hara*, or "evil inclination"

## **Background**

Satan is, or at least was, God's favorite and most beloved celestial, but when God asked for all Angels to bow down to humanity, Satan refused both out of jealousy and wounded pride over being commanded to bow to what he saw as a broken, flawed, and murderous species and no longer feeling he was God's favourite creation.

When God created mankind and commanded that his Angels honor humans by bowing to them and loving them even more than God himself, Satan refused to do so. Being full of pride and jealous of God's love, Satan refused to bow to a creature that he considered lesser than himself and God, whom Satan loved too much to being able to devote himself for the, as he says, imperfect humans. Deciding to wage a war against God, Satan approached his older brother, the Archangel Michael, hoping his elder sibling would stand by his side during the rebellion. Michael rejected him and, at his father's orders, a war begun in Heaven. After Satan lost the war, Michael cast him and all the other Angels that rebelled with him out of Heaven, and he fell from grace and was banished to Hell where their forms were twisted turning them into Demons.

## **Personality**

Satan was created by God billions of years ago, he was raised by Michael and he taught Gabriel various tricks. Satan was once the most beautiful and beloved Archangel in all of existence. God loved him the most of all his Angels. Because of his elevated status among the other Angels, Satan was very proud. When humanity was created, due to the Mark of Cain corrupting him into jealousy, he was unwilling to accept that he was no longer God's favorite. When God commanded all those of Heaven to love his new creation more than himself, Satan refused. He pleaded: "Father, I can't. These human beings are flawed. Murderous!" Satan continued his disobedience, asking Michael to stand by his side in his rebellion against God's orders. Michael refused Satan's request, and under God's command, Michael cast him into Hell.

## **Appearance**

Satan kept most of his original form after he fell, but his wings become black and bat-like, and he grew fangs in his mouth and two devil horns protrude from the top of his head. When possessing, he can turn his host's eyes reddish-orange.
