Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Vesira
Domain: Zamphirs
Angelique: Demosthenes



About her: She is graceful, proud, and easily offended. She views herself to be the embodiment of Zamphir beauty, and any Zamphir caught claiming such a title in her presence will be swiftly punished. She can be very violent when aggravated and is likely to drive a stake through a paw for any infraction. She has a deep hatred of vampires, and will try to kill any on sight. An easy way to earn her favor is to compliment her, however she is not stupid. She will not tolerate lies and frivolous flattery.


Post color: Bold, dark red

The Bats: They are her attendants and are with her often, however they are not normal bats. They serve as extensions of the Goddess herself. They are often used as her eyes and ears and the presence of one may be a good or bad omen, depending on which one has been sent.

About him:
Demosthenes has always been self-assured, bold, and generally fearless. He is the sort of being who knows what he wants in life, and will do what he has to do to achieve it. Perhaps he is a bit Machiavellian nature, believing that the ends justify the means, regardless of what one must do to achieve them. This is all the more necessary when hunting down the damned, and something he prescribes in his daily life. So long as his goals, and Vesira's goals, are achieved -- does the road to victory matter?

He does not suffer weakness, in himself most of all. While he does not crave power for power's sake, he does wish for it so he might better wipe out the scourge of vampires. His life, like all the lives of the Zamphirs, is meant for one purpose and one purpose alone -- to continue the hunt. However, he is not completely heartless--he will, after all, be a mortal voice for their goddess, as well as her will. However much he might revere Vesira, he is his own being, and sees himself as close to an equal -- she deserves an Angelique she can respect, one that could perhaps, someday, become her equal (at least as-in-so-far as an Angelique can be).

Demosthenes is ready to put in the work. He may not be well-favored among other Zamphirs, especially after so boldly ousting Dyre -- but they need that sort of strength to do the hard work ahead of them. The Vampire Clans are growing, and they must be there to stop them -- they need a General against the war of the damned, and Demosthenes intends to be it.
How does he behave in victory (Dyre can not be killed, but please describe what happens after the battle in the story!): The battle was not easy, but then again, Demosthenes did not expect it to be. It did, however, last longer than he had thought it might -- a position which both pleased and vexed him. Ultimately, though, the hard-fought battle was won and he the victor! With Dyre down, Demosthenes would stand over him, panting from exertion, but exultant all the same. "A worthy opponent," he'd speak, giving a dip of his head in acknowledgment to the other. Dyre was not necessarily well liked by Demosthenes, as he would always be a specter in Vesira's thoughts and memories, but he could respect the other...grudgingly enough. "But your time is up." Instead, he would turn to look upon Vesira with renewed boldness.

"My Goddess, I have done as you bade. I have shown your my strength in battle, defeated your Dyre -- now the final choice is yours. Let me take my place as your rightful Angelique -- or choose the one I have felled." Demosthenes was not so foolish as to think his stunt would ensure him victory -- for who could force a goddess into anything? If she wanted Dyre, then she could, and would, still choose him...

But Demosthenes had every expectation that she would not pick Dyre. He was weak, and represented what once was; Demothenes was sure of himself, victorious, and represented what could be.

How does he treat Vesira: He is respectful, worshipful, and committed. However, he does not treat her as some prize. He wishes to do her will and bidding, but is not meant to be molded or broken down into a voiceless, mindless, yes-man. He has his own ambitions, his own strength, his own abilities, and he plans on using them. He will not be afraid to speak up or even against her if he thinks something is amiss; he does not fear her -- but his interests will always lie in her best-interest, and those of the Zamphirs.

This will often put him in alignment with what Vesira needs and wants, but he is bold enough to speak up if he disagrees or feels something might be amiss. He is no fool.

He has loved Vesira from afar, and will likely always do so -- no matter the outcome. She is his world, and he will do what he must to become an all-the-more-worthy Angelique.

How will he treat Vesira's previous children: So long as they are in Vesira's good graces, he will treat them with respect. They are her progeny, after all. Each relationship will vary based on interaction, of course, but Demothenes is no fool. However, he will not likely be overly-warm, and will be more respectful (provided they are no fools). Demosthenes is not a soft individual, but he could learn warmth with time.

He spent much of his life hunting and looking to please Vesira, and to become a worthy warrior, that inter-personal relationships with other Zamphirs is something he'll need to work on. He can be a leader, but he'll need to learn how to become a friend.

What ideas or plans does he have for the Zamphirs: He wants to better organize. They are hunters, and were blessed (cursed?) with powers that will help them destroy the Enemy. However, they need to organize into some sort of army. They need faes to seek out intel and allies (or at least informants); they need muscle and strength to form some sort of army; they need stealth and assassins to move quickly and quietly to dispatch targets; they need crafters to specialize weaponry; they need individuals who can raise new generations, and care for those who are injured; they need Zamphirs loyal to the cause, Vesira's cause, his cause -- so they can wipe hunt the vampire clans down with both force and strategery.
