Eriel

Amber C. Eriel, the Seductress of Shadows was one of God's Angels that were the antagonists of Rumble Season 3. After losing her right to resist Luxuria, Amber Shadowstar surrendered to the Angel Bride, and was transformed into this. Taking the start that was Amber the Priestess of Sol=Firle, Eriel takes the dangerously lewd energy up to 11.

## Biography

### Seaside Rumble 3

Eriel had a short but efficient reign of terror around Duel Academy after Amber surrendered to Luxuria. She began with one of the closest things to her precious people, by appearing in Lord's bed, appearing at first as an unclothed leg sticking out from under Lord's sheets. When Lord went to investigate the alluring sounds coming from her bed, she found Eriel waiting for her, with her new signature style of dueling; Strip Duels. She didn't call herself the Seductress of Shadows for nothing, after all. The rules were simple; for each 2000 lifepoints that were lost, clothing was lost. Top outerwear, then bottom outerwear. Go under 2000 and you lose your top underwear, and hit 0... Lord was the first to fall to Eriel's new rules, as her riding crop-like whip struck on each tier of LP, making Lord's clothing simply vanish, and the final blow was delivered by a seduced Lord of the Red itself. When her possessed toy Lord defeated and corrupted Serah as well, Eriel also forced Serah into "playing with her toy" to reward Lord for a job well done.

Her followup act was with Amy, who was seeing Owain's brother Robin. This duel didn't go nearly as well for her, as Amy just opened with every Ritual Tutor method to exist at once, and stole Eriel's own Relinquished with Reshef the Dark Being and knocked her out in a single blast. The naked Angel gave Amy a treat, letting her know about her other playmate in the easiest way possible; with the card she took and defeated Lord with, Lord of the Red. After confirming Amy didn't want a good time anyway, Eriel left.

The next day, she went to her fellow nerd, Anzod - who was still holed up in the Raider's Room, trying to stay away from all of the insanity. He had alone stood in the Red Dorm during Loptr's attack before, after all, and he wanted nothing to do with high powered beings. So, when Eriel attempted to rope him into her games, he outright refused to even bother playing. Even after she warned him of the results of his refusal, he still didn't fight back. When she placed a negative number in his deck, she could feel his emotions, much like she could pick up on when she was Sol=Firle's priestess - which let her realize just how completely broken inside Anzod was. She could feel his lack of caring, his patient waiting for this stupid world to end, and how terribly lonely he was since Jas, his only real friend, had died. Because of her. So Eriel did all she could for Anzod, kissing him deeply and holding him tightly as he disappeared forever from this world, just like he wanted.

Her next appearance of note did not go undetected - of course, how could anyone hide from *The Huntress?* Nonetheless, she wished to speak with Sol=Firle. Primarily, she gets Sol to agree to call off her hunt for Ryuko, so that Ryuko would come out of hiding and Eriel could get at her. Secondly, she got Sol to agree that if creation was erased, Sol would be willing to go with her - as an immortal, she'd be more capable of it than a mortal pet. And, of course, the Seductress of Shadows had to have a taste of the Pleasures of Flesh while she was there, right?

She passed on word to Kerath that Ryuko was no longer being Hunted, and Ryuko came out, staying to deserted areas because obviously they all knew this was a trap and that Eriel would be waiting for her. In their verbal sparring to set terms, Ryuko did notice that some of Amber was still clearly in Eriel, given how upset she got when Ryuko referred to herself as less than a whole person. She tried to offer a deal - 3 mortals vs 1 angel, and pulled in Aoi and Kerath, challenging them to a match of the 3 of them against her, winner takes all. The terms were agreed on... until Luxuria intervened, claiming that since Eriel was *her* prize, she shouldn't be allowed to bet herself without Luxuria's input. God herself intervened, frustrated with Luxuria messing things up, granted both Suenami's and Kerath keys, and pulled the Angels out (and grounded Luxuria). Eriel was sad since her attempt to surprise Luxuria with the sisters was ruined, but couldn't oppose God's wishes.

Ryuko called her back out later that night, and Eriel again offered Luxuria's idea of an essential "copy" of Amber, should Ryuko actually win - a snapshot of Amber before Eriel, soul, memories, everything (despite complaining again about Luxuria's lack of faith in her and frustration towards the interference earlier). Ryuko refused, pointing out that Amber had asked Ryuko to save her, not a copy of her. Eriel then offers the reverse - if Ryuko was to win, Amber would be 'saved', but a copy of 'Eriel' would be preserved, as Luxuria's present (since Luxuria won Eriel fairly) - but out of the battle. After verifying it with God, it was agreed upon, and the Strip Duel finally began.

Ryuko didn't disappoint, as Eriel lost a duel she had no place losing, by going into the wrong kind of protection to save her from the Speedroid Crystron deck. Her last words to Ryuko before God appeared to seal the deal was simple - *"...I hope she's happy with what God will give her... And you!" she said sharply, looking up at Ryuko. "You better damn well take responsibility for your actions!"*

While Eriel was out of the conflict up until the finale, she certainly was not at the Finale - in fact, she was the first opponent the Keyholders encountered. Given that Ryuko was the first to use a key, this was a rematch, not a new matchup. Unfortunately for Ryuko, even with her new Crystron Wing Speedroid Dragon, Eriel didn't make any mistakes this time around, and won - perhaps ironically, by resurrecting the custom card. As Amber watched in horror, Ryuko lost... and vanished. Tabooru was the next to step up to the Angel of Seduction, and didn't hold back; Eriel had tried to prepare for his assault, knowing through Amber what Tabooru was capable of, but he simply outresourced her defenses and claimed the first win, causing Eriel to retreat to Luxuria's side.

## Abilities

Like all Angels, Eriel is completely immortal, and doesn't require petty mortal things like air or gravity to operate. Her "cards" took the form of glowing, purple hearts - Much like Amber's Core Deck Case, but without the visible crack. As the Seductress of Shadows, she continued to have most of the sensation sharing and enhancing skills she had as Sol=Firle's priestess, as well as having a whip that could make things simply cease to exist (most likely, she could make those things cease to exist anyway, she just used the whip for the kinkyness.)
In a duel, she used the following powerset:

**Link Breaker**: Since Link Monsters shouldn't exist, Eriel could summon monsters from the Extra Deck to the Main Monster Zones.

**Two Become One**: Eriel was able to Ritual Summon a monster from her hand, by banishing two monsters of the same level as the Ritual Monster form her hand, field, or graveyard.

**Angel's Enchantment**: During her End Phase; Eriel could choose one player to gain life points equal to the number of cards on the field controlled by players that do not own them x1000.

## Relationships

### Suenami Ryuko

Eriel wanted her former self's lover as a pet, and a gift for Luxuria. Her desire for Ryuko was intense enough that she kept coming back, with more and more daring plans to try to claim the girl for her own, which backfired in the end and caused her defeat.

### Luxuria

The Angel Bride is the one who converted Amber into Eriel, and was Eriel's one true love. Their love was so strong it even overwhelmed Eriel's obsession with Ryuko, though Eriel wanted to claim both Suenami sisters for Luxuria in the end. Her final gambit was a way to make everyone happy, even if she lost: Ryuko and Luxuria both would get exactly what they wanted.
