For an eldritch horror hailing from the farthest reaches of the Far Realms, Azrael is quite the gentleman. Once a malevolent tyrant of those worlds himself, several millennia of evolution saw change in him by gradual degrees. He found himself more and more fascinated by the sciences and artistry of mortals, drawn to the material plane to spectate such novelties.
Ultimately, it was not satisfying enough to observe from the stars, and Azrael manifested himself a corporeal "body" of sorts. Though it is flexibly mercurial in the shapes it takes, it plays by the local laws of physics better than he otherwise would, and allows him to interact with the world around him.
- Happy, sly, neutral, curious, teasing, etc.
- With or without minor alterations to their physical form, as it is not always consistent
- With four arms, digitigrade legs, two horn-like tendrils and a tail
- Furious, saddened, etc.
- With eyes or ears of any sort
- In drastically altered colors
Upon crossing paths with Rouhara, Azrael was quickly smitten with the plucky mortal who seemingly had no qualms engaging in conversation with him. In return for granting Rouhara arcane capabilities sourced from Azrael's own power, Rouhara agreed to let Azrael accompany him in his adventures, where the quasi-deity primarily takes the form of inky tattoos across Rouhara's body so as to keep himself out of the way.
Azrael probably could take the form of an average-sized humanoid if he chose to--but he notably never chooses to, instead opting for bodies that are at least fifteen feet tall. While this would pose some logistics or convenience issues in his interactions with more typically-sized mortals, Azrael's form is very imprecise at times, and he has shown a capability for making himself incorporeal on a whim, or reshaping parts of his anatomy as easily as if it were inky clay tendrils.
While taking such a form, he almost always has four arms, digitigrade legs, a long tail, and similarly long appendages that grow like horns from his head, but are fully prehensile like tentacles. He never takes a form that has eyes, and he can reliably be seen with a single, relatively short horn on his forehead, and both lengthy fangs and claws on all digits. Such bodies are like the color of a dark oil slick, inky and black as pitch, but with an evanescent sheen of coppery iridescence in fleeting flashes.
When circumstances call for discretion or convenience, Azrael's form alters itself drastically to instead exist not as an independent body, but as a collection of inky, esoteric sigil-like patterns that live on the surface of Rouhara's skin like a living tattoo. The appearance of these often is shifting and continuously changing, and their exact position on Rouhara's body can be changed on a whim. Typically, it tends to occupy a region over Rouhara's left shoulder, spilling over to portions of his chest, shoulderblade, and upper arm. Regardless what form he is in, Azrael can be effortlessly communicated with by Rouhara, whether aloud or telepathically. While he spends much of the time rather dormant, Azrael never fails to respond if called upon.
A mortal that Azrael has become infatuated with in his own strange way, and accompanies wherever he goes, granting him the use of magic through his own power. And sometimes smooches.
