A combination of character introductions, enabling, and plotting for May!

Pidonus Marasia | OC

[marshmallowpurgatory]

Character Name: Pidonus Marasia
Character Age: 21
Character Gender: Feminine
Housing: Probably using one of her magic items to hole up rather than a proper apartment.
Jobs: Random odd jobs.
Powers: Pidonus is a Succubus and a Bard, derived from D&D 3.5 but played loosely. Among other things:
* She has some forms of mental manipulation - most iconically, charming someone into thinking her a friend, or making her words sound like an abnormally good idea.
* She can shapeshift her form freely - the most basic version of this being concealing her horns, tail, and wings. This also lets her recover from injuries abnormally quickly, unless it comes from holy or cold-forged iron weaponry.
* Her music is capable of magical effects, including enhancing people's ability to fight.
* She has some straight-up magic, including basic healing of wounds.
* She's savvy to stories, but hasn't quite caught on that her role wasn't "trickster mentor who dramatically dies near the climax" so much as "comic protagonist". This doesn't manifest as a formal curse, so much as "painful funny things happen to her anytime needed."
* She is a very good hugger, to the point of having what others have called a Tactical Glomp.

Summary: Pidonus Marasia is a demoness borne of an innocent bard's desire for revenge. They sold their soul, name, and memory to the mysterious Red Queen in return for the power and opportunity to take out the monstrous demon lord, King Wrath. Yes, the names are abstract.

Keeping only her musical abilities and savviness for stories, Pidonus quickly realized that even empowered, she was not going to be able to take down King Wrath... And that her real role was going to be tricking a group of heroes into doing it for her. The fact that one of them kept insisting he was sorry for failing her was confusing, but whatever. She kept on a basic routine of 'figure out where Wrath's army was going next, start something there, the heroes beat her up, she flees, now they're in the right place to stop Wrath.'

All the while, she'd assumed that, being an instrument of vengeance, she was going to die at some dramatically suitable moment.

Then came two twists in succession. First, she won. King Wrath was defeated, and she wasn't slain, leaving her without the entire purpose of her existence. Second, she found out that a core assumption of the Red Queen's control over her was false - starting to break the demoness's sway over her.

It's probably for the best she's been pulled here where she can rediscover herself with less evil influence attempting to either lock her loyalty in or destroy her before she can become a problem.

CR You're Looking For: Friendships in general, especially people who might help her figure out what she wants out of her life, given she's just lost her purpose. Playing to her being a lust demon could be fun but is optional.
CR You Do Not Want: Can't think of much yet.

Is Your Character Investigating Anything? Pidonus probably flits from point to point a fair bit, so she can potentially join any investigation.
Plot Points of Interest: Pidonus will be concerned with the whole situation that's pulling people in - but she's not sure she herself wishes to leave.
Future Plans/Goals: Ultimately, I don't know what Pidonus' goal will be, other than building CRs and probably getting pulled into plots accordingly. I do want to play to her comic and adventuresome sides more, given the location.
