Status Alive
Cyrus is a relatively young Nephilim and is the firstborn son of Lucifer and Mira, making him the Crown Prince of Hell. He currently resides in the Royal Palace at the center, and has his own apartment.
Early Life
He was raised mostly in secret for much of his early life, mainly to help him have a relatively normal childhood. His coronation as Crown Prince was done soon after he turned 16, though he didn't start taking the role seriously until certain incidents that happened around age 28.
He's always been very cautious and thoughtful, if he wants to get up to some trouble he'd rather plan everything out to make sure he doesn't get caught rather than rushing into things (unlike his brother). This is very much what he did all through his schooling- whenever someone would get on his nerves he'd always retaliate in some way and was never caught.
The one subject he did pay attention for was debate and speeches, everything else he figured was worthless for him, the Crown Prince of Hell. I mean, why would he need to know how to do complex math- that's what assistants were for, right?
Needless to say, he did, at one point or another, have to re-learn how to do that same complex math because it turns out being able to do your own equations without needing someone else in the room greatly sped things up.
Abilities
Demon Form
Cyrus has a secondary demon form. In appearance, it takes closely after the wild beasts that wander the uninhabited wastelands, though his is much larger in size. When he summons it, it forms around him first as ribbons and blobs of Celestial light and the form is refined by the black shadow.
This form can be damaged, any injuries will appear accentuated by white light until it heals. The only way known to stop it is for either Cyrus to forcefully dissipate it or to wait until he tires (keeping it up is exhausting)
He cannot directly control it, as far as he knows, and if he summons it it essentially has a mind of its own and works on its own accord. It works as a wild animal and its main goal is to protect Cyrus, and it'll do it though any means necessary. It can't tell friendly people from those who would harm them so it tends to attack anything that moves and might pose any threat.
Travelling
Because he is part Celestial, he is able to easily and almost instantly travel anywhere within whatever plane he's currently in, and with slightly more difficulty between planes (unless he holds the key, at which point it becomes trivial). He is able to bring anyone with him, within reason (he couldn't transport a dozen people).
He can't really travel indoors without causing some property damage accidentally, usually leaving scratches on walls and sending loose papers flying. If he has to he'll try to find the nearest open space between where he is and where he wants to go.

Small description here
Cyrus is very hard working and dedicated to his job as prince. He tries to rarely take breaks between small jobs and assignments and is always trying to be busy. He feels like he needs to be the best he can be in order to make up for past mistakes and to be respected. This overworking often leads to anxiety. His brother Oriel usually has to jump in to distract him whenever he tries taking on too much and needs a break regardless of what he says he wants.
He's a little clumsy and uncoordinated (couldn't finish a dance without tripping to save his life), so he rarely directly participates in balls and parties, though he regularly attends them (partly out of obligation). But he does excel in organizing things and is a confident speaker if he has appropriate time to prepare.
At times he can have trouble letting new people get close to him, and he often tries burying himself in his work if he finds someone trying to become too close friends.
All of this, however, is very much a mask he puts on to look more 'professional' and worthy of his titles. His childhood had him behaving much, much different. Some people can get his mask to slip down (Mainly Oriel and Adam)
Preferences
Likes
- Gardening and taking care of plants, it's one of the few things these days he does to relax.
- Well-tailored outfits and simple but fancy suits and vests.
- He enjoys making public appearances, and writing and delivering speeches. He's rather skilled at this.
- The dark. His eyes, since they're very cat like, are sensitive to light and thus he prefers darker environments.
Dislikes
- Mess and clutter.
- Being late to things.
- Sudden and loud noises, his ears are very sensitive to noise.
Trivia
- He has a scar on his chest and a matching one on his back. It's a very painful reminder, and he hates when people try to bring it up and will try to change the subject.
- Is very animated. Waves his hands around a lot when talking (subconsciously), ears have a decent degree of movement and he emotes with them (Raises when curious/ excited, lowers back when scared or sad etc) His pupils even dilate when in the dark or when he's anticipating something.
- His 'wings' are a side effect of Lucifer's meddling, they're not true wings, like a Higher Celestial might have, though they work much the same. He can make them appear and disappear at will, and even change their consistency to closer to smoke or vapor.
- He prefers wearing these kinds of outfits, and likes including some yellow if it suits: https://pin.it/2SXUnkm (Note: Please feel free to draw him in different outfits, as long as they fit the general vibe)
Relationships
text, text
Cyrus' current romantic partner. They haven't really been daing for very long but still they try to hang around each other as much as possible. Adam is far more experienced in relationships than Cyrus (who probably hasn't been with anyone seriously for at least 25 years) and tends to take the lead on most things.
The two of them first met before Adam was even discovered to be the first heir to a Great Duke and worked in the palace library as an assistant.
Text, text
His younger brother. The two of them don't nearly spend as much quality time together as they used to but they're still close. They do still sometimes have arguments but they usually quickly make up for it.
Oriel alternates between trying to annoy Cyrus and looking out for him/ generally trying to be helpful. He's made attempts to try to teach Cyrus sword fighting but it hasn't been very successful.
Character, text
Cyrus doesn't approve of Zander and his 'job' in the slightest, and Zander doesn't like Cyrus right back. If he had the chance, he'd probably have Zander locked away. The only thing standing between them is Adam, who is the one thing they can both agree should be kept safe.
Zander says that he won't harm Cyrus, but Cyrus doesn't entirely believe that with the rather hostile looks he keeps getting from him.
