Personality: Iblis is a strange and peculiar one, who is seen as the voice of the adversary. She is carefree, often under a state of lost self-control. They indulge in anything that intrigues them, like their life depends on it. They are often very tactical and touchy, and impulsively make actions without thinking. Iblis is very convincing with their words, often making small arguments that may push someone to perform such actions. They just want others to stop resisting their urges, for who knows if it could make their lives better, though it often leads to worse results.

Abilities: Embodiment of Enticement - Iblis’ existence is a lure. Their many eyes and ever-changing pupils are haunting, paranormal and hypnotic, and draws those who gaze into them in a deep state of hypnosis. Those who are taken typically follow Iblis whenever they move, like a zombie. They can easily lure people to give into their deepest urges, and Iblis can dispel their gaze whenever they want to. Iblis’ words are eerily powerful, and carry magical power that increases temptation to those that hear them.

Impulsivity - Iblis can use their magic to make someone completely unhinged. The concept of self-control is ridden and they will do anything that provokes any form of urge, impulsively. The effects are incredibly difficult to dispel if Iblis solos a singular target, and typically it will end till the recipient passes out from exhaustion or till there is nothing left to indulge in.

History: Iblis was born in a familial cult within the Age of Secrecy, as one who valued God and the patriarchal pyramid of power over everything else. As a child, Iblis was a young girl who only did what the man of the household said, as their cult believed the Gods spoke through the words of the father. She was told of the sinful ways of the outside world and was manipulated by words for the first few years of her life. She obeyed begrudgingly, though she peered across the horizon, seeing the opportunity of civilization entice her as she worked in the field.

She was enrolled in public school for the first time, as she crossed paths with the outsiders of the world afar. Iblis was introduced to new abstract concepts, but her family told her not to give into temptation. But she couldn't resist, after being given a small slip with a rumor of the existence of rituals. Iblis was intrigued to no end, taking time between school and home to learn more. Her allegiance to her family dwindled, as she performed rituals and discovered knowledge on her own accord. Nearing her end of school, she has pledged herself as a Ritual worshiper, and broken away from her family affairs as temptation entices her.

For the next decade of her life, she used rituals to assist her in her daily life, as she did whatever she truly wanted to accomplish. At her peak, she was bestowed a gift, her own Idea. Due to her now being ideated, she performed the cleansing ritual and left the cult at her own accord, to give into her own urges to reach her highest form. Everywhere she went, others gave into their urges and she reached her opus magnum, Actualizing into the Edeia of Temptation. They now float in many places, nudging people to do whatever they desire.

Abstraction: Iblis’ Abstraction is of a monochromatic plane, comprised of metaphysical properties. The area spans of an island, bleak with shades of grey as tall obsidian-like tower structures align in a circle. When Iblis returns, the sky resonates a flash of pink strikes of lightning, which hit the structures most often. The cracks glow a hot pink, as behold the island illuminates an endless pink sea of temptation, to crash and bubble as a pit of the impulsive abyss. To fall in... would lead to a lucid state of sinking, letting extreme impulsive thoughts flood one's every being. Though it would not last forever, as falling in leads back outside of the Abstraction and to the mundane plane. It leaves a lasting impression, but the feelings would fade away after a week.
