Lilith

## Description:

Mother of Demons, First Wife of Adam, Empress of Hell, True Mother of Cain, - all are befitting epithets granted to Lilith, matriarch of House Lilu and wife of Samael, Fallen Archangel of Death. Lilith sits on her throne in the City of Lyst in Hell from which she rules over her domain and informs her Vampiric children, plotting the downfall of humanity and her first husband, Adam. Lilith, the master magician and manipulator of all mortal men, sits as one of the few remaining original Demonic nobles in Hell.

Lilith is known to have many forms, and few mortal men have survived to see her truest appearance. Her real form stands at over six (6) feet tall and weighs in at one hundred and seventy-five (175) pounds. Her eyes glow a crimson red when angry, but glow a deep purple when calm. Her hair is jet black, a darker shade than any mortal could achieve. Lilith's age is unknown, but confirmed to be over three hundred thousand (300,000) years old, although slightly younger than her first husband, Adam.

Lilith's intense age and cosmic knowledge has granted her with an infernal intellect; her time in Hell has granted her total comprehension of torture, pain, and suffering of all kinds, and her charisma is infectious and nigh-unstoppable. Her time as a mortal and frequent (and lengthy) visits to the Material Realm have also bestowed upon her mind the knowledge of humanity's histories and technology, her encyclopedic understanding of mankind adding to her repertoire of potential skills and techniques. Lilith's age has also wizened her, made her more patient and open to negotiation; her stubbornness is infamous, and her refusal to take or follow orders from anyone often lend her reputation to one of unmoving hostility. While intelligent and far beyond the understanding of most mortals, Lilith's heated temper, misandristic tendencies, and unshakeable conviction prevent her from reaching further heights of mental acuity.

As stated before, Lilith's time as a mortal and her deep connections to humanity and to her followers ensure that her understanding of technology is great, although she does not use such devices herself if it can be avoided. Lilith views technology as mankind's lazy approximation of Magic, and considers it barbaric and simple compared to the glory of her mystical power.

Lilith's innate magical abilities are stunning, and her skill with various forms of Magic provides further threat. While she may limit herself to Enchantment, Divination, Illusion, and Demonic magics, Lilith's knowledge of Magic in general is still all-encompassing; she was there when Magic was raw, before the dawn of human civilization and during the Age of Beasts and Age of Serpents, and was there when mankind codified the first spells and conducted the first rituals - Lilith's personal impact on the development of Magic is confirmed, but the degree to which she influenced Magic is unknown.

Lilith was created by God just before her first husband, Adam. Together, Lilith and Adam had a son, Cain, but that is where Lilith's family tree ends; her removal from the Garden of Eden and imprisonment in Hell removed any chance of human children, but Lilith's second husband, Samael, ensured that Lilith could bear many more kin into the K2 Universe. Together, Samael and Lilith created many types of Demons and founded the Demon Caste of Lust before God, horrified at the number of infernal beasts the couple was spawning, castrated Samael and cursed Lilith with Vampirism, further preventing her from birthing biological children and forcing her to fornicate with mortal men to acquire the pleasure she now craved from the consumption of blood and mortal life-force.

### Personality:

Lilith's goal after her removal from the Garden of Eden became the destruction of her first husband, Adam, and the eventual obliteration of her creator, God; after God was struck down by Database and Satan's court betrayed him, the Razing of Heaven sealed Lilith's secondary goal. Unfortunately for her, Adam remained alive on Earth, and so Lilith underwent a quest to destroy him and his second wife, Eve, at all costs. Lilith works to achieve this through the Vampire House Lilu and the cults that worship her around the world, in addition to the legions of Demonic entities at her command.

Lilith's temperament fluctuates frequently, and often depends on the individual. Should someone give Lilith any kind of order, or disrespect her feminine ways, her vengeance will be swift and absolute; should someone disrespect her current husband, Samael, the vengeance will be painful and sudden. Lilith's wrath is infamous and feared almost as much as the Vampire Queen herself. Lilith's ego remains fragile, as she constantly seeks reassurance from Samael and must reinforce her own values frequently to prevent feeling inadequate; God's removal of her from the Garden of Eden left a lasting mark on her psyche, even if she would never admit such a thing. Worshippers of Lilith consider her a kind and gentle motherly figure, and her enemies see her as a vile monster and tempter of even the holiest of men.

Being the founder of the Demon Caste of Lust and the Mother of Demons, Lilith is one of Hell's greatest hedonists; her palace at the center of Hell's City of Lyst (a name derived from the Norse word for "Lust") is considered the most active place for carousing, partying, drinking, drugging, and fornication in almost all of the Realms of K2. The number of sexual partners Lilith has possessed over the course of her many millennia of existence is only estimated to be into the dozens of thousands; her palace in Hell (nicknamed the Palace of Pleasures) holds one of the few locations where mortals - only the most beautiful of which - are kidnapped from other Realms and moved to Hell under Demonic guard for the sole pleasure of Lilith and her noble guests. Lilith's hedonism extends to pain alongside pleasure, as is the nature of the Deadly Sin of Lust, and this often manifests with great displays of gory, flesh-shaping violence and unending torture, provided by Lilith and her Demonic nobles.

Lilith has no trust for any men, a rule she learned after her initial experiences with Adam and God; even her own husband, Samael, is kept on a short leash and almost always within arm's reach, to prevent leaving even the slightest of opportunities for his betrayal. Lilith holds a more trusting nature for women, and treats even mortal women as worth her time; a mortal woman can become a new loyal Vampire or cultist, and Lilith never turns down the chance for a new worshipper to add to her already-significant power.

## History:

Lilith was created by God in the Garden of Eden just before God formed Adam. When Lilith refused to sexually submit to Adam's will, Adam turned to God to force Lilith to do the man's bidding; Lilith fought with all her might against the enslavement, and was eventually thrown into Hell for her "crimes."

### Time in Hell

Lilith spent an unknown amount of time in Hell. There, she is known to have met Satan and his court of Fallen Angels, where she also met her second husband, Samael, the Fallen Archangel of Death. Lilith's love (and lust) for her new husband drove the couple to spawn the Demon Caste of Lust alongside the legions of Demons that would serve them for eternity. Lilith never lost sight of her ultimate goal, however, and worked to hunt down Adam and Eve at all costs; with Satan's help, she learned of their banishment from the Garden of Eden and grew content; she learned of Cain's acceptance into their new mortal family and grew ecstatic.

Lilith's legions of Hell grew so vast in number that they threatened to overflow Hell and consume the Earth. To shut down this growing problem, God castrated Samael, knowing that Lilith's rage should He choose to make her barren would fill the cosmos with blood. Lilith, now forced to fornicate with mortal men to reproduce, became enraged further by God's actions towards her and her new family. Lilith then acted as a primary advisor for the Razing of Heaven.

### Corrupting of Cain; Creation of Vampirism

Searching far and wide through the cosmos, Lilith hunted for all the entities that God had created and wronged, all of His most despised rivals and enemies; among them, she found Zaraliel, a being of unimaginable power that Lilith had only heard about in hushed rumors between Demons - even the innumerable Legions of Hell feared speaking his most unholy name. Lilith contacted Zaraliel and proposed a deal: If Zaraliel helped Lilith corrupt mankind in her image, she would convince Cain to willingly accept Zaraliel's gift of Vampirism. Zaraliel, foaming at the mouth in fury, accepted the deal without hesitation.

According to the deal she had made with the God of Vampires, Lilith visited her son, Cain, and revealed to him the many crimes that God had committed. Cain was unsurprised at the news, and explained that he, too, had been wronged by their Creator - Cain had killed his half-brother, Abel, after a life of harassment and discrimination from God, and God punished Cain by banishing him to Limbo and placing the infamous Mark of Cain upon him. Devastated and seething with righteous anger at the treatment of her only mortal son, Lilith convinced Cain that, together, they could exact their revenge upon God and receive the justice they and so many others deserved.

Cain agreed to his mother's terms and was contacted by Zaraliel shortly thereafter. Together, with Lilith at his side, Cain forged the First Deal, making Cain the first Vampire.

As was agreed-upon, Zaraliel upheld his end of the bargain and granted Lilith the power she wanted; Zaraliel gave Lilith the power of Vampirism, too, spawning an independent bloodline (aka House) from her personality and specifications. House Lilu was born of Demons, and Lilith wasted no time in starting her infernal work to corrupt humanity...
