Anamelech

**Anamelech** is an obscure demon, and is said to be the bringer of ill news. Anamelech is the twin-sibling of the more well known Adramelech.

## Description

Anamelech along with its sibling was worshiped as a deity at Sepharvaim, an Assyrian town. The people of Sepharvaim burned their children as offerings to Anamelech and its counterpart Adramelech upon their respective alters, believing that both deities were responsible for the health and welfare of their cattle. Authorities declare that, for the Sepharvites, that Anamelech was the demon of the moon, while Adramelech was the demon of the sun.

## Overview

It is revealed that Anamelech was also involved in Cain's descent into rage and madness. For Anamelech was tasked by Satan to recruit Cain's soul into Hell. To accomplish this, Anamelech sends Cain a vision in which he sees his children toiling with agony, while Seth's children enjoy luxury and ease. By the end of the vision the former have become servants and slaves of the latter. Cain, having already been affected by the mark, is pushed into further rage and depravity from this vision, begins a vicious cycle where his descendants would assault and kill his brother's descendants.

However, this only failed to deliver Cain's soul to Satan, which angered the lord of Hell. As Cain set out into the world, alone full of grief and guilt over his actions, and not taking his own life in the process. As punishment, Satan tortured Anamelech by throwing him into Cocytus, causing him to burn for seven days straight without end. The alternative for the legend is that Anamelech also whispers secrets to children in their sleep, and those secrets being that Satan will corrupt their youthful lives in the foreseeable future. This also causes Satan to punish Anamelech for whispering the secrets of the Devil's actions.

## Powers and Abilities

**Demonic Aura:** Anamelech can surround themselves in wretched demonic energy. It is impressively destructive and more potent than regular auras given that demons are stronger than most beings.

**Demonic Form:** Anamelech with this is a demon, who possesses these forms naturally and/or can naturally channels their own demonic powers through their bodies to bring out their true inner forms, empowering them to their fullest potential. The demonic form usually manifests as a hideously warped bestial-monster-like entity with varying amounts of darkly/evil powers and intense heat, darkness and overwhelming feelings of dread/horror/terror through the body/appearance of the demon and grants improved versions of their lower assuming form and abilities gaining the full potential of their abilities and reflect their true selves.

**Demonic Wings:** Anamelech has/or possesses the ability to manifest or generate two or multiple pairs of powerful wings on themselves at will as a natural feature of the ungodly/infernal species. Flight is Anamelech's wing's main function; however, it is not their only purpose as they also enable Anamelech to teleport and travel to other planes and dimensions, possess healing and magical powers, aid in combat and are said to contain their demonic powers and immortality. So, if their wings were removed, they could be rendered a mortal human in certain worlds/fantasies. Demon wings, depending on the situation, can also be regenerated if removed. This, however, varies per fantasy world and mythology itself.

**Regenerative Healing Factor:** Anamelech possesses a regenerative healing factor, meaning that they can rapidly heal and get restored to their optimal and full health/state at an extremely fast rate. Unlike Healing, regeneration/healing factor is a process that happens unconsciously without the need for activation, resulting in a constant state of optimal health. Regeneration is a process that occurs in all biological entities, but a regenerative healing factor is much more efficient, seamless, and powerful. So much so that Anamelech can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs, and limbs, sometimes slowing, or even stopping aging, something natural regeneration can never accomplish (or does so extremely slowly). The rate and amount of healing vary widely. Some can regrow missing limbs, others must put the limb back in place for rapid regeneration. Anamelech is generally in very good physical shape, as their bodies are constantly reverting to a healthy state, granting them nigh-inexhaustible stamina and vitality.

**Superpowered Physiology:** Anamelech is a being with superpowers, special or extraordinary superhuman abilities that are greater than what is considered normal, granting them a superior status in mind and/or body that make them greater than that of the average member of their species. In many cases, Anamelech is also able to gain tremendous powers of highly advanced levels. This includes, but is not limited to, superhumans, aliens, angels, demons, gods, vampires, werewolves, hybrids, etc. Anamelech with this power is still mortal but some may be immortal.

**Apathy:** Anamelech with this ability can suppress or negate emotions in themselves or do not possess emotions at all, allowing them to ignore; emotional distractions, suffering from psychological/emotional stress, and/or feeling from affecting their thinking processes. In some cases, Anamelech is simply unable to feel emotions of any kind.

**Contract Bestowal:** Anamelech can make contracted deals; a supernatural and versatile contract, typically characterized by its ability to bestow wishes that grants Anamelech almost omnipotent power and is able to achieve almost anything within the realm of thought, akin to those of a genie. The impact on others is meticulously controlled through the terms of a contract, and these effects must precisely adhere to the contract's conditions.

**Corruption Inducement:** Anamelech can induce corruption in others.

**Darkness Manipulation:** Anamelech can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. Darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but can also be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows, etc.

**Death Inducement:** Anamelech can kill anyone and possibly even *anything* using varying means, either instantly, slowly over time, after certain conditions are met, or after a certain period of time has passed.

**Demonic Element Manipulation:** Anamelech has the ability to manifest and/or control Demonic Elements. Satanic and Profane variants of the elements that can tempt, corrupt, and grievously damage or wound other people, things, and even Anamelech himself. Due to their demonic nature, whether natural and intrinsic or infused/attained, these elements are fundamentally wicked, and wither and rap at the mind and morals of individuals using or affected by them.

**Demonic Force Manipulation:** Anamelech with this power possesses and is able to utilize strong demonic power. This ability not only grants Anamelech great strength and control over numerous variations of demonic abilities but also allows them to overwhelm weaker demons as well as rival that of powerful demonic entities.

**Elemental Mimicry:** Anamelech is made of or can transform their body into elements. This typically includes the classical elements, but it could also include exotic things like shadow, plant matter, or plastic depending on the setting. In some cases, Anamelech may still retain their original anatomy (e.g., a humanoid shape and possible even internal organs) while changing only the composition of their physical form. Alternately, Anamelech may transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

**Energy Mimicry:** Anamelech is made up of or can transform their body completely into energy. Anamelech's transformed form is anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of energy, in which case, it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately, Anamelech can transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

**Enhanced Condition:** Anamelech possesses all their capabilities, attributes and aspects at an advanced level, beyond that of the peak members of their own species. This means Anamelech's aspects (E.g., beauty, charisma, character and physique) attributes (E.g., physical and mental condition) as well as capabilities (E.g., potential, feats, skills and abilities, be it natural or supernatural) would be beyond that of standard individuals.

**Super-Condition:** Anamelech possesses supernatural capabilities, attributes and aspects that are beyond what is naturally possible.

With their mind, they can amass knowledge and information about everything, allowing them to invent and create things beyond the grasps of regular humans. They can master languages and subjects in mere days or even hours too.

**Fear Inducement:** Anamelech can evoke and increase fear and horror in others causing the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals. The target’s perception may be altered, causing them to see their environment as ominous and Anamelech as dark and foreboding, or even as a monster.

**Negative Emotion Empowerment:** Anamelech becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by a quintessential negative emotion, such as anger, hatred, sadness, envy, depression, arguments, fear, etc. of oneself and others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing their existing powers. Anamelech may be able to draw sustenance from the negative emotions or even slow or stop aging.

**Human Disguise:** Anamelech can take on an ordinary human appearance to blend in with modern society. This power is designed for non-human individuals to hide their non-human traits and appearances to avoid detection.

**Invisibility:** Anamelech can render themselves unseen by the naked eye and become invisible in visible spectrum.

**Nether Manipulation:** Anamelech can create, shape and manipulate Nether, the "chthonian element" and the substance that makes up the Underworld, a subterranean dimension where all souls go when they pass on. Nether is very similar to Aether “the celestial element” in that it is from a plane that exists between the planes of both matter, and energy.

**Nightmare Manipulation:** Anamelech can create, shape, enter and manipulate the nightmares of oneself and others, including modifying, suppressing, fabricating, influencing, manifesting, sensing, observing nightmares and turning dreams into nightmares.

**Pain Inducement:** Anamelech is able to cause varying levels of pain, including physical, mental and/or emotional, to their targets using supernatural means.

**Poison Generation:** Anamelech can generate, create, emit, or otherwise produce poison/poisonous substance and somehow inflict the victim. For the sake of clarity: *poison*, *toxin*, and *venom* are terms for any substance that injures the health or destroys life when absorbed into the system: poison is the general word, toxin is a poison produced by an organism (plant, fungus, animal); it is especially used in medicine in reference to *disease-causing bacterial secretions*, venom is especially used of the poisons secreted by certain animals, usually injected by bite or sting.

**Possession:** Anamelech can inhabit or take over the body of other beings, whether sentient or not, by stealing their motor functions and senses. Anamelech has to leave their own body for this to take place. Anamelech may not even be limited to inhabiting other entities, but inanimate objects, structures or environments as well.

**Scale Wing Manifestation:** Anamelech has or can form scaled wings and use them from transportation to offensive and defensive purposes.

**Semi-Immortality:** Anamelech with this ability never age, and as a result, they stay young forever or at least never suffer the ravages of aging. Because of this, Anamelech will always be at their physical prime. Anamelech will also be immune to aging abilities, such as Age Acceleration or Reversal.

**Immortality:** Anamelech possesses immortality, a state where one has eternal life and is undying. They never age, are completely self-sustaining, free from all bodily necessities, and can survive virtually any kind of harm, remaining immune to all forms of decay.

As a byproduct of having everlasting life, Anamelech may have an infinite reservoir of life energy that fuels the dynamic system of their immortality.

**Sin Embodiment:** Anamelech becomes a physical personification or manifestation of the sins of man that brings them down and gain power from sins and vices of others and oneself as well as the very concept of Evil. Anamelech can use sins as a power source to extend their life span, use it as a weapon or cause others to sin/be evil, it can also be displayed by their physical, spiritual forms. Anamelech can commit any sin they want and can also augment their inducements on a victim until they are rendered completely insane or dead.

**Soul Absorption:** Anamelech can absorb/devour individuals as souls, while removing them from the source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as a power source, etc., either temporarily or permanently.

**Unhealing:** Anamelech can undo any wound, disease, injury on another living being that that has been healed or cured. This can be done to impair an opponent, or undo cures that get rid of diseases. With some skill, Anamelech can even make it so that the wounds and injuries undone not only heal again slowly, but make them not heal at all as well.

**Weapon Manipulation:** Anamelech can create, summon, shape, manipulate and use any kind of weapons with perfect skill, whether pre-modern, modern or even futuristic using laser, plasma, antimatter or even more exotic ammunition/attacks. If it is a weapon or could be improvised as one, they are completely proficient with it.

**Weather Manipulation:** Anamelech can sense, channel, shape, create and manipulate the weather, i.e. the meteorological phenomena. It grants them an innate connection to the Earth's atmosphere, enabling to shape and influence various weather patterns on both small and large scales. They can sense changes in air pressure, temperature, humidity, and other meteorological parameters, granting them an almost instinctive understanding of impending weather changes.
