Lifedrinker

Lifedrinker is a demonic sword, originally forged by Sebastian billions of years ago in another universe. Like Deathbringer, its size and strength will vary greatly depending on the power of who is wielding it and how much life force it has drained.

Lifedrinker was forged from the soul of a vicious demonic general from Sebastian's personal army. They were one of his most loyal troops and agreed to the process willingly, considering it to be a tremendous honour to be made into the sword that would be wielded by the mighty Demon King himself.

After Sebastian had 'abandoned' Lifedrinker and Deathbringer for a millennium in the vast reaches of space, Lifedrinker was driven completely mad and is now only a shell of the demon they used to be. They are fueled only by their hatred of anything and everything living (although Sebastian in particular) and their lust for as much power as they can possibly obtain.

Lifedrinker and Deathbringer seek out the most powerful hosts they can find. However, most hosts are simply too weak when compared to their former master and they end up draining all of their life-force leaving only an empty husk behind before moving on to the next host.

Lifedrinker requires a constant stream of life force to maintain its power. If its user does not kill enough people to replenish its supply, then it will drain the user's own life force instead.

Once someone has bonded with Lifedrinker, they are compelled to always keep the blade on their person and are completely unable to throw it away. They might randomly find themselves wielding the blade without even realising they had grabbed it. Additionally, when wielding Lifedrinker they will have an overwhelming compulsion to murder everything in front of them even their own family and friends, just to satiate the blade's lust for blood. They might not even be able to let go of the blade at all. If they need both their hands then Lifedrinker can just switch into its ring form.

Lifedrinker can slice through almost anything and isn't limited simply by the length of the blade itself as it can project its slicing metres away from its current position.

In combat, Lifedrinker fuses to the hand of its user and is almost impossible to separate. It would be easier to just cut off the person's hand but at higher level forms, Lifedrinker would be capable of reattaching the hand anyway.

When bonded to Lifedrinker or Deathbringer you can always faintly hear their voice in the back of your mind, compelling you to bend to their will and do as they command. You might not even notice its happening unless they become especially forceful. Long exposure to these 'suggestions' can cause personality shifts in the individual even long after the demon has been removed.

### **Forms**

(Note: These forms are only estimates listed as a guideline)

**Form 0: Ring**

* While in this form Lifedrinker operates similarly to a perception filter from Doctor Who

**Form 1: Dagger**

**Form 2: Short Short**

**Form 3: Long Sword**

**Form 4: Greatsword**

**Form 5: Super Fucking Massive Blade (Rarely Used)**

* This form operates differently to the others, Lifedrinker will not automatically enter this form after gaining a certain level of life force but can instead access it at any time for a temporary power increase.
