Full Name: Mara, the Sealed Lord of Temptation and Damnation
Nickname(s): N/A
Age: 13,417 years
Height: 49 cm/~1'5''
Weight: 20 kg/~44 pounds
Gender: Female
Race: Demon (Invadia)
Alliance: PURE EVIL

Franchise: Starless Skies
Physical Description
Mara appears as a large cat-like creature, with dark purple fur and bright green, eerie-looking eyes with narrow pupils. Mara is constantly grinning, exposing her slightly greenish and extremely sharp teeth. On her face, below each eye, is a pair of glowing, sickly green markings, with a cross-like marking across the top of her head, and a "splash" type design on each side. Her head has a certain masklike quality to it, and each of her feet ends in two sharp toes. In lieu of a true tail, Mara has instead a large mass of glowing green tendrils that can extend and shrink at will.
When bound to another individual by means of a Fell Contract, when not manifesting herself, Mara takes the form of a stylized cat mask, with a tuft of glowing green hair. How much the mask resembles her actual head depends on the will of the second party.
Weapons and Accessories
While Mara's claws and teeth are definitely sharp enough to draw blood and can be used as weapon, Mara relies more on her magic due to her small size, and whoever her beneficiary is.
Abilities/Powers
As a demon, Mara can imbue other beings with some of her powers by means of a Fell Contract, empowering the individual in exchange for their soul at the end. She is also capable of casting magic of all kinds, although whether this is due to her absorbing the souls of others or an innate ability. She can hover in the air, and shift between her mask and cat forms at will. The abilities she shares with her beneficiaries are the ability to weaponize her "tail" as a series of tentacles, the ability to generate a corrosive liquid through her paws, a venomous touch/bite, poisonous blood, the ability to survive in toxic environments, an immunity to all poisons, and the ability to remove the soul of a dying or recently deceased individual from their body. Mara can also weaponize the souls she has stolen via her personal spell, the Soul Burn, in which she converts a stream of stolen souls into a burst of hellfire that damages her victim's very soul.
It should be noted that Mara is currently "sealed," in that she is forced to manifest in a smaller form and with lesser abilities.
Weaknesses
As a demon, should Mara's core, a sickly-coloured emerald, be destroyed, she will die permanently. As it stands, even lesser blows could do serious damage thanks to her tiny size, forcing her to use her stolen souls to regenerate herself. While her Soul Burn attack is a deadly, nigh-unblockable attack, Mara is forced to use up souls to attack with it; as such, it mainly acts as a last resort.
Skills
Mara is a manipulator and a skilled liar, able to coerce anything from anyone with enough time. She is a powerful mage in her own right, and in fact, created some of the nastier spells. To make up for her small size, Mara excels at cheating. Finally, she has a near-photographic memory and a seemingly-innate sense of direction and location.
Personality
Mara appears as calm, manipulative, and highly charismatic. She is unfailingly polite, even to those she utterly despises, and always addresses people by their proper title. She mainly obtains her goals by a combination of flattery and appealing to the hopes and dreams of others. A highly intelligent individual, Mara is capable of learning from her mistakes and knows when to retreat. Despite being a being of pure evil, Mara also has a wicked sense of humour, even at her own expense, and is willing to crack jokes.
Beneath the affable mask, Mara relishes in the suffering of others. She will stop at nothing to obtain her goal of returning to her true form, and is swift and deadly when it comes to killing her enemies. dropping her usual affability.
History
Mara was hatched on the pre-Undoing Earth, the only surviving child of her brood. Her parents would perish in a mysterious accident while she was still an adolescent, although she escaped to the Gobi Desert and became an aid to the demon king, Mastema, although his children, Malebolge and Malacoda, would always be suspicious of her. Jealous of the respect Mastema had with his people and the fear he commanded from humans, Mara decided she would overthrow him. The Great Undoing could be blamed on Mara, who instigated the war when she killed a high-ranking angel in disguise. The fighting broke out in full force, and Mara fed on the souls of fallen angels- as well as humans caught in the crossfire. She became a beast, and with angels and demons too busy fighting each other, she appeared before humans as a god. Killing those who did not bow to her, the survivors were forced to worship Mara...
But her actions actually helped end the war she began, as an angel joined forces with Malebolge, who had taken up the mantle of leadership from he father, and Salsu, a young demon knight. The three combined their powers and sealed Mara away, trapping her deep into the Earth as a mask with no powers...
However... A seismic event during the rebuilding of Earth, now named Purgatorio, freeing the mask Mara. A foolish human put her on, and by taking his soul, Mara was able to re-manifest, albeit in a weakened state. She took to the cosmos, stealing souls where she could, clashing against a maniacal angel who loved to destroy stuff. Eventually, she ended up on Purgatorio again, and a ritual summoned Mara to the service of Sylvia, who accepted her Fell Contract... Although this is the longest any beneficiary of Mara has ever lasted...
Other
Mara needs 1,000,000 souls to regain her original power as a godlike creature. Unfortunately, she already has 999,999 souls. Any volunteers for soul one million?
Putting on mask!Mara while not being her beneficiary results in your body being hijacked as it's eaten away by acid. So please don't put her on.
