## History

### Fall from Grace

Bune was one of the many angels that resided in Heaven like the vast majority of his Goetial cohorts. He was of the order of the Cherubim that guarded the borders of Paradise and served under Azrael, the archangel of death. Bune was affected by Lucifer's music which held thoughts of rebellion and doubt in its theme, thus made Bune rebelling against God and joining Lucifer's cause against the Almighty.

Bune fell from grace alongside his rebel cohorts when fighting against Michael's Heavenly Host with his once fair eldritch form that befits a Cherubim becoming twisted and draconic, resembling more of a monstrous dragon rather than an angel. The Head of the Dragons is said to serve under him as well after he became a Great Duke of Hell.

Bune 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:** Bune 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 Berith to mimic animalistic traits while still in their original form. Bune can mimic multiple animals at once.

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

**Authority:** Bune 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:** Bune 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, Bune commands extraordinary capabilities associated with the obscurity of the unknown, channeling and harnessing these dark forces to their advantage.

**Demon Physiology:** Bune 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 Bune 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:** Bune has demonic powers, which can be obtained a number of different ways. Bune 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:** Bune 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:** Bune possesses the genetic traits and abilities of two or more different species.
