Jester (Dark Seraphs)

Jester is an Original Character featured in the upcoming Original Story Dark Seraphs created by the User:Jester of chaos. It is going to be split into three parts and at this time I am unaware of when I will be able to make the episodes. Now that that part is done here is the character info.

Background
Jester was once a smart ass by the name of Mattius Longstreet, whom pissed off the king (allegedly, truth be told it was due to his practice in the Dark Arts being found out) and was beheaded for it. Little else is know of his mortal life but it was implied he started to learn the Dark Arts not simply for power but in hopes of saving his mother from a illness. Despite this it is unknown if he ever knew his father, but he has stated his Demon mode is similar to his favorite doll he had as a child.

Not long after his death he went on to became a Demon in Hell who desired revenge and thus destroyed the kingdom. Later he accidentally created the Bubonic plague aka black-death when he tried to change his hair color, though he thought it was funny and enjoyed the chaos it brought to the mortal world. Over the centuries he became friend with another Demon: Corvus (Greek myth: Icarus' current alias) each made a deal with a family to serve said family in return the said Demon could stay in the mortal world. Later at some point both fell in love with the same mortal woman, young Russian woman by the name of Anastasia only for her to be murdered.

This made Jester desire power but not wish to rule the mortal world as he saw it too flawed and pointless to be worth ruling yet fun enough for causing chaos and mischief. Corvus currently serves nineteen year old Alexander Poe while Jester currently serves fourteen year old Jessica Rooks both of the masters living in Great Britain.

Part 1
Jester is first shown serving his master, Jessica Rooks, mansion as she asks him to draw her a bath only for Jester to respond by summoning a pin and paper to literally draw a bath. Annoyed Jessica asks what he's doing only for Jester to show a poorly drawn bath while smugly saying he's done with a grin. Deciding she'd have to be specific she tells him to start filling the tub at a temperature that's not too hot nor cold. Annoyed Jester does this all while complaining that Jessica can't take a joke. Once this is done Jester asks she want's anything before he departs for the night to which Jessica asks if he can bring her a book on magic when he returns in the morning. Jester responds he will do his best and departs back to Hell. Once there both he and Corvus talk about how they can't wait to play poker in the next night. As the two joke around through the night they admit its best they head back to Earth as its about time to wake their masters up. Jester quickly summons a book he himself had written on a wide variety of magic and Seals before returning to his masters home.

Upon arriving there Jessica appears to be having a nightmare so Jester gently wakes her up telling her its okay and how it was all just a dream only for Jessica to say in tears it was her remembering how they first meet. Jester hands her a box of tissues and recalls that day.  The Flashback 

To Jester it was a normal day of looking at potential masters so he could enter the mortal world without constantly having to fight Angels. He and Corvus had both broken the truce between Hell and Heaven long ago but now they were warned next time it happened both Heaven and Hell would retaliate. Jester didn't feel like having to deal with ignorant soldiers serving a Tyrant with good publicity or cause a fight with his fellow Demon's since the sheer numbers were against him. Most humans would be easy to convince but were also so boring and greedy it wouldn't be much fun or worth it considering they were most likely going to Hell once they died anyway. However as it looked like another day with not suitable master he sensed a strange dormant power in the distance. Once he followed it he found it was coming from a mansion but the person was running away from someone. Jester had an unexplained urge to see what was going on so he stayed barely in the veil between dimensions only to see a girl no older than nine crying as she fell to the ground pleading with some man who was in his early to mid thirties with bleach blond hair, a thin well trimmed mustache in a suite and long-coat as he approached the girl. Even from the veil he could hear as they spoke:

- ''The Man: Jessica stop this foolishness! I understand what you are going through. After all you are my niece and it was my brother who died in that tragic accident the other day along with your poor mother. I just want to reunite you with them after all.''

- ''Jessica: Please uncle leave me be! I don't want to die! I know you wanted their money but please I just want to live!''

- ''The Man: Hahaha with you gone I'll be the sole beneficiary to the family fortune! Accept your fate and be reunited with your poor parents! You'd be nothing but a waist of money if I took you in or worse if I had to share the inheritance! No I'm just going to kill you and hide you in a place no one will ever find you!''

- ''Jessica: Please no! I don't want to die! Please anyone!''

- ''The Man: No one is going to help you, so just stop your crying and begging its giving me a headache! Give my regards to your parents when you see them!''

Jester couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. She apparently just lost her parents and now some pathetic greedy bastard was going to kill his niece for some petty cash?! The worse part is the Angels let this happen constantly yet acted like they were these noble creatures, yes Demons are vile and murderous creatures but at least they admitted it and were public about how vile they were. Jester realizing time was running out formed a circle of green flames around the young girl and from the veil let his voice be heard.

- Jester: I know you can hear me now, I am your only chance to survive but in order for this to happen we must form a Blood-Line contract'' so I may enter your dimension. Do we have a deal?''

- ''Jessica: *Wiping away a few tears* Can you really save me? If so I accept.''

- ''Jester: Yes I can save you. Now choose where you want the Seal?''

- Jessica: What do you mean by "Seal"?

- ''Jester: I mean the mark to seal our contract. I will be able to freely appear and use my powers in your dimension in return I will protect and serve you and your future children. Try to pick a place that isn't too open but a place where you can reach if needed.''

- Jessica: I guess my left shoulder?

- ''Jester: OK I need you to shake my hand to symbolize it thus allowing my to enter your world. *Inserting his hand into out world*''

- ''Jessica: Fine but please hurry the fire is going down! *Shakes hand*''

The fire goes down completely only for a young man with red hair and glowing eyes to appear right in front of the young girl. The man gets on one knee an places a hand on the girls left shoulder with green flames making a strange symbol. The girl looks scared and helpless but feels a friendly hand pat her head as if to re-assure her everything will be OK before the figure turns towards the girls uncle.

- ''The Man: What the hell? Who are you and what do you want?''

- ''Jester: I am your worse nightmares you piece of shit! You think your so tough attacking a defenseless little girl but now I think it's time I take out the trash.'' *The man pulls out a .44 magnum from a holster under his coat and shoots Jester in the head*

- ''The Man: Trying to monologue isn't the smartest thing to do when I have gun this powerful! Granted the idiot didn't even realize I had a gun. By the way a gun is too good for you my precious niece instead I think a knife is more fitting for you! *Pulls out a William Henry Spearpoint Patriot pocket knife*''


 * Jester's body all of a sudden gets off the ground and tackles Jessica's uncle*

- ''Jester: You thought I could be killed so easy? And I must say that you have expensive tastes considering your knife. Now my only question is how should I kill you? Burning could be fun but so obvious, I could drown you but it might be mistaken as a baptism. Maybe I should just beat you to death. How does that sound Jess... *The uncle stabs Jester in the stomach* How rude of you I guess I need to teach you some manners. Nah I'll bury you alive.''

- ''The Man: What are you?! Please spare me! I'll pay you whatever you want just let me live!''

- ''Jester: To answer your question I'm a Demon, a level 7 one at that making me essentially a Demi-God. And no you will die for being such a pathetic low life! See you in Hell.''

With that Jester broke the mans neck and approached the girl. All of a sudden the girl hugged Jester and thanked him for saving her.

- ''Jessica: Thank you for saving me! I thought for sure I was going to die but you saved me. By the way I didn't catch your name.''

- ''Jester: you are welcome and the reason you didn't catch my name is I never gave it. I prefer to not give my name right away. However given I will serve you until you pass from this world I guess I might as well introduce myself: I am the Jester of Chaos, a Duke of Hell, the horseman of Pestilence, and the infamous Pied Piper You may call me Jester if you wish Jessica.''

- ''Jessica: OK then Jester it is. May I ask two questions? How did you know my name and am I going to Hell when I die?''

- ''Jester: I overheard your uncle say Jessica and assumed that was you since no one else was around. As for Hell I can chose what to do with your soul once you pass. I can eat it to gain more power, have it sent to Hell where I can torture you forever or even ban it from Hell altogether though that only happens if I actually like you as a person but lets worry about that somewhere down the road. Whats your last name by the way I'm curious.''

- ''Jessica: My Last name is Rooks. Thanks again Jester.'' End of Flashback 

Jester upon recalling that day hugged Jessica and reassured her that as long as he existed he would protect her from those who would try to harm her. Once Jessica seemed OK Jester decided to cook her breakfast and that today since it marked the fourth anniversary of their meeting

Appearance
His appearance is a young skinny man with messy red hair and pale skin. In public he wears a black suit with red dress shirt unbuttoned at the top for his job (with its sales tag still attached) and black dress shoes, Gothic vacation cloths or punk like clothing when not in his suit. While fighting most supernatural creatures the suit changes into a black and red Jester suit (though a visible scarring and stitch marks appear on his neck when in the outfit). He has black studded earrings in human form.

Alternate Forms

 * Jester's Demon form: Unlike Corvus, Jester takes a more inhuman form presumably due to his chaotic nature. He appears to be fairly muscular male, a noticeable gap between his neck and head to symbolize how he died, his head featuring no hair with facial expression being similar to a comedy and drama mask that somewhat echo's whenever it moves and he speaks, with a Jesters hat made of green flames and souls of those he consumes. His arms are unnaturally long for this form with his right arm and chest are simply red while his left arm is multicolored, his legs are large black and blue that appear beast-like. Due to his death being near painless he has no problem when he takes this form due to the increase in his already great power. This form is even harder to kill and he has complete control over his body and its properties. In this form he is care free, genuinely likable and calm while still somewhat chaotic but the lesser of Him and Corvus in their Demon forms. In this cartoonish and inhuman form he recalls all his mortal life's memories and how this resembles a doll he had as a small child.
 * Jester's Rage Mode aka Mattius the Collector: This form is his rarest and ultimately due to his hate finally reaching its breaking point gaining this new Demon form as a result. This form he is dubbed Mattius the Collector by himself and Corvus due to his drastic change both in personality and power. His face in this form appears to be a drama mask with long spiky red hair, black robe like "cloth" over most of his "flesh" which pure white and his exposed chest with a couple of mouths spread as part. This form has none of his playful personality or obsession of power just a desire for revenge and destruction. He is just a cynical, depressed Demon consumed with hate for all around him. This mentioned his nihilism not only increases to the point that he is willing to destroy large populated areas if need be but so does his sadism. As he fights the Angel that killed Grace he brutally tortures and mutilates it by not only ripping of its wings and beating him into the ground but squeezing it's very soul before ultimately crushing it. The power of this form is his shape shifting is at the absolute and vast magical abilities to the point he is an easy level 8 Demon to a degree even Corvus admits this is a power that is a rival to his Demon form and is almost Godlike and nearly unstoppable. Despite the name he can presumably enter this form regardless of his emotions though he gained it originally through rage.

Personality
Most of the time he is seen as a rude smart ass who enjoys provoking others especially Alexander Poe and Angels commonly through embarrassing or making blasphemous comments. He sees both Corvus and himself as Gods but sees it as a competition between the two to see who can become a level 9 Demon to obtain true Godhood. He seems to be prone to hold grudges as he hates Alexander not for trying to kill him but putting Corvus through so much pain simply to kill him. He also seems to suffer from nihilism as he sees his life and most others lives as meaningless.

He makes it very clear early on he hates God for multiple reasons including making him an immortal who must serve others to enter Earth, having both of the women he's loved murdered and creating a cruel world full of evil. However despite normally being rude he can and will be charming when he needs or want to be. He flirts often but makes sure they know he doesn't want anything serious from them. Deep down he has a softer and kinder side but only four know this to be true; Corvus, Anastasia, Grace and Jessica herself. While he doesn't show it he cares for Jessica and plans to ban her soul from Hell so she won't suffer it's tortures. It is heavily implied his God-Complex might be a way he is coping with the death of Anastasia as he saw her as a Goddess due to her kindness, intelligence, beauty and her singing voice loved by many. He despite often being told he is a pervert, when he cares for females such as Anastasia and Grace, he is shown to be respectful, protective and loyal to them as shown by waiting over sixty years after Anastasia died before even trying to move on.

Once he secures that Anastasia's soul is no longer on Earth or the mortal universe both he and Satan-Corvus are shown that like most Demons they view the upcoming apocalypse as little more then a game. That said despite a small group of Demons that admire him and are truly loyal to him, most Demons serve him out of fear and due to his high power status in Hell's ranks. He is also considered insane, sadistic, even violent by the vast majority of Demons. He actually embraces this though he does warn them to never rape people or else they'd cross the line far enough he might kill them. He is seen by some as a scholar or teacher in Hell due to teaching them most of what they know in both magic and natural abilities of a Demon.

With Grace he is shown almost desperate to earn her love to the point he tried to change personalities under some advise by Corvus who warned him most people wouldn't like his openly dirty comments and psychopathic nature. He is shown sadistic to mere mortal and beings weaker than him as often his pranks cause some minor to severe pain to humans but very painful and somewhat slow deaths when he decides to end a creatures existence all together. He also seems to either purposely lie for fun or just to keep it all in mystery when it comes to details of his past or specifics to how he plans to gain power. He seems to enjoy being a Demon for the most part and showing off his power.

Power
His power level for the start is a level 7 almost level 8 Demon which is equivalent to a demigod, level 9 which is virtual Godhood. He like all Demons is ageless, high speed regenerative and self sustaining creature however being a level seven his healing and superhuman attributes far surpass lower level Demons. Like all Demons any mortal weapon is useless if it isn't blessed by supernatural means and are very durable to damage. In human form he can control the natural elements to a degree and generate fire at will. Along with controlling fire he can control darkness and warp reality to a degree such as walking up walls, summoning weapons and changing minor things such as images to fit his desire. He can also teleport to anywhere in Hell or Earth.

Due to mastering the Dark Arts he can use necromancy to its fullest: raising corpses or later insert souls though he can't reform souls that have been destroyed as it is seemingly impossible. The Dark Arts also let him heal others, create plagues, increase his abilities, his physical strength for a limited time, use telekinesis, summoning of objects and lower Demons. He later performs a ritual that allows him to absorb any mortal soul that lacks a physical form on Earth, able to switch souls/bodies of himself and others but retain any supernatural abilities, make weaker clones that share a mind, turn temporarily invisible, limited mind control, the ability to embed souls into other objects while forcing it to follow his orders and increase his magic to a unknown degree. With these after attaining his rage mode he is an official level 8 Demon.

Like all Demons provided his contract is kept to the best of his ability, his soul when sent to Hell it won't be tortured and remain a Demon soul (if their contract isn't honored their soul is reverted to a human and tortured in Hell upon returning to it). Demon body's reform within 24 hours after destruction in Hell provided their soul isn't destroyed in the process. From 12am - 6am Demons are free to do whatever they want in Hell or Earth. Among his abilities he has become a master in the Dark Arts, Chaos Magic along with various other types in his attempts for ultimate power, he uses the souls he consumes, having stored a large amount of magic and often symbols or seals so he can use practically any form of magic seemingly without limit and no draining effects that normally happens when a character uses magic. His Demon form has all these powers to a higher degree and can warp his body in any way he desires. Now his Rage mode he not only does he have his shape shifting go to the absolute but his already vast power skyrockets to near Godlike power where even Corvus claims it might be able to rival God.
