Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Sifkesh appears as a woman of beauty with disturbing corruptions. Her arms are amputated midway down her biceps, and the severed arms float as if no amputation is there at all, this also goes for her legs. She constantly smiles but cannot speak, instead having her thralls do so for her. When Sifkesh must speak for herself she does so through telepathy.

Body Features

Her hair is long and straight, with a deep black coloration tinged with red. Her legs are long and her skin is deathly pale like that of a corpse.

Facial Features

Sifkesh's face is that of a beautiful woman whose eyes and lips have been sewn shut with wire and are thus constantly dribbling with blood.

Identifying Characteristics

Sifkesh's most promenant features are her terrifying face and her left hand, which is fitted with a gauntlet giving her long needle-like digits.

Physical quirks

Sifkesh's shoes are long and bladed, and thus she floats everywhere.

Special abilities

As a demon lord, Sifkesh has innate power beyond those of mortals. She is a weaker lord among her peers but is still quite formidable in battle. Sifkesh radiates despair and melancholy and finds great pleasure in forcing mortals to mutilate themselves or others.

Apparel & Accessories

She adorns herself with black leather clothing, including boots reaching her thighs, bicep-length gloves, tight-fitting leotard with several straps and belts holding it in place.

Specialized Equipment

Sifkesh carries a "war razor," which is an especially sharp shaving razor or flip razor that is easily concealable.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Much of her history is unknown, but theories speculate she was at one point a high ranking devil, perhaps a forgotten duke of Hell. She was corrupted by the Abyss' chaotic nature and seeks to inflict that chaotic pain on others. Her sadism and masochism make her especially disturbing, leading to her swiftly amassing power to become a demonic lord.

Employment

Sifkesh is a lord of the Abyss, inhabiting the 309th level.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Her main goal is to spread despair and agony. She does so by manipulating mortals, corrupting their souls and employing them in her death cults. These cults are often short lived and gather nearby mortals to sacrifice before committing ritual suicide, which greatly pleases Sifkesh.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Sifkesh knows how to confuse and corrupt a mortal's mind. She taps into their innate feelings and brings out the most self-destructive impulses she can find.

Sifkesh lives for her own pleasure. Her only delights are causing pain among mortals, which have earned her an appropriate reputation for a love of betrayal.

Personality Quirks
