Name; Tenebris Calamity
First name: Tenebris - Latin word for dark
Surname/Alias - Calamity -
Gender; female (must stay female)
Alignment with chaos;
Tenebris's alignment with chaos is strong, at first she had tried to conquer it on her own but failed but discovered by working with it instead of against it, things flowed more smoothly that way since it affected her capabilities of keeping her own powers under control. She has done more bad and caused more trouble over doing the right thing in a utilitarian view. Despite all this she is capable of being peaceful and just. Many would see her as chaotic and evil but after a while of getting to know her they realize that she has some good in her.
Extras;
Likes:Hats - If you were to offer the world's riches to her and someone else offered a hat, believe it or not Tenebris would go for the hat. She finds them interesting as there is a variety to their types and designs. She doesn't obsessively collect them though.
Honey - Honey is her favorite condiment and it's not commonly found in Helheim but easily available in Midgard. You could probably easily barter for a couple ingots of ore or even something else only acquired from Helheim with a barrel of honey.
Tea - Tea is her preferred drink if water doesn't count. She especially likes to add milk and honey to her tea which sounds a but strange but that's her favorite way to have her tea.
Wolf - These wild animals are a mystery to her as there are loners and then there are packs that work together. She finds their howling to be melodious songs to her ears. She also likes to observe them to learn their ways with communication. hunting, and fighting as was as their body language.
Chinchilla - She finds these animals to be rather whimsical and relaxing to observe. They are also her chosen favorite for domestic pet animals. She would like to own one as a pet but she has decided against it for she may not be able to be around it alot with the way things are with the conflict and her own duties.
Jazz Music - She finds Jazz to be very expressive and easier to listen to as some other genres are a bit harsh for her tastes.
Goggly eyes - Tenebris has a favorite pass time of sticking goggly eyes on things and creatures. At first it was to tease Luka but other demons found them amusing so she never stopped.
Steamed Buns - Tenebris has never found a more interesting food than this. She finds it very appealing to consume with a variety to the dough, appearance, shape, size, and filling you could eat it hot or cold as long as it is cooked. You could eat it on a plate, a bamboo steamer basket, in a napkin/handkerchief, or your bare hands. It's very delicious to her and was first introduced to it by Luka who would often make it whenever the group hung out back in their childhood.
Candy/Sweets - Tenebris enjoys making confections and eating them. She remembered that her parents had been craving some when she was young so she tried to make some and found the experience to be very rewarding.
Monochrome - Tenebris prefers monochrome over any other range of colors as some color combinations can be "tacky" in her opinion whereas monochromes are simple.
Dislikes -"Tacky color combinations" - Tenebris is not fond of these "tacky" color combos as she refers it. It's difficult to exactly know what would be tacky but she wouldn't like seeing orange and teal together for an example.
Smoothies - She finds these to not be an ideal substitute for a meal and figuring out the right ingredients to make it meal worthy in nutrition is a pain as she would need to test recipes to make it work.
Bunnies/Rabbits - Tenebris will swear her word to you that these cute creatures are actually evil. She's not exactly afraid of them but she doesn't like them. Live ones at the best, their fur or plushes in the least. She usually has them shooed away and if you ask why they're evil she'll tell you that they are secretly planning to rule the world which sounds rather strange but maybe she heard to many tales that made rabbits seem evil as a viscling.
"Why do some call you Calamity?" :Calamity is my surname but I also use it as my alias as well as others. If I had used Tenebris then attention would be drawn to me and I may cause some scuffles in which I would like to avoid. Midgard is the place where destruction is not allowed but violence is discouraged in town areas and other areas of importance but it didn't mean that I was completely safe from the enemies of Helheim and those that disliked demons. It is more common sense for a demon queen to not go flouncing around without a disguise or by continuing to use my first name which many would know and be familiar with. Some that are close to me also refer to me as Calamity and sometimes Tene or Cala if they dare but Calamity seems to be the popular of the pick.
Relations:Ren: A viscet most demons dislike for he is the last one to fight for a soul. Tenebris had once tried to recruit him and his reapers to Helheim to get the upper hand over the soldiers of Salvatore but Oblivion had gained them as residents instead which disappointed Tenebris. She often likes to cause trouble for him when he's out working and Ren in turn finds her to be a royal pain. Oblivion's bodyguard, he is the one who intercepts whenever she and Oblivion are close enough to fight each other tooth and claw.
Oblivion: Oblivion is one of Tenebris's "enemies", Oblivion's realm is not directly involved in the conflict but the residents of her realm do fight her citizens whenever a soul is located. The two aren't exactly friends as Tenebris had wanted Ren and his reapers to join her but they became allied with Oblivion instead. Their main scuffle is their abilities to make dresses and sweets, the two are rivals when it comes to this. They do have times when they fight each other tooth and claw but most times they are forced to stop.
Iwan: Her best friend from childhood, they were very close together and liked to hang out with Luka and surprisingly Raphael as he had to be her escort. All were from different sides of the conflict and it had split them all apart. The two liked to get into trouble by picking fights and pulling pranks or even trying out dangerous quests. Iwan calls her Calamity, her alias and surname so attention is not drawn to her. Iwan has reasoned that he thought it is a cool name to have rather than Tenebris which is Latin for dark.
Raphael: Tenebris knew very little about him and met him in her teens and he was about her age too. He was hired by her mother to be her bodyguard after her mother found out about her sneaking off to Midgard then permitted her sneaking off as long as it stayed in Midgard and no where else. She was rather fond of him and he too seemed rather fond of her which was surprising as he was a bit crude toward her. The two learned witchcraft and summoning together which was the times when she saw how kind and caring he was. Whever they were with Iwan and Luka he would be cold and aloof and he claimed to not like strangers. He had slightly warmed up and became a part of the group and was usually there to cover for them if Tenebris was getting close to a tight situation. When Tenebris reached full maturity and her mother passed on leaving the throne empty he disappeared without a trace.
Raven: Tenebris is the only one who doesn't scrutinize Raven for his mixed breed as to her he's a demon through and through. She often sends him on errands and has some more trust in him than those that have sworn to serve her family. Usually it is he who fetches her things from other places that she herself is unable to go to. When her mother passed on and left the throne empty there was a political war of sorts for who would take the throne and Raven was a powerful foe who decided to back Tenebris and helped her take the throne that was her birthright.
Wyzenia: Wyzenia and Tenebris despise each other and often have times when both would stand off to each other as their fights are never allowed to happen since someone would always stop them. Wyzenia is Raven's "partner in crime" but Tenebris disapproves of him being with her as sirens can be rather dangerous. Raven often intercepts when the two are close to tearing each other's heads off.
Amarok:Amarok was taken in by Tenebris when she had no where else to go and was wandering the streets of Midgard as a young child. When she was nearing adulthood she had set out to Midgard to live independently but Tenebris often goes to visit her to see how she is doing for although she may not be her mother she treated Amarok as if she were her own child.
Luka:Her other best friend from childhood. They were close and always hung out with Iwan. Luka usually disapproved of the pranks and dangerous quests but was more than happy to help come up with strategies or find a place to eat a meal at. Tenebris found Luka to be rather charming and sometimes teased him with things that had goggly eyes. Though he would scold her for it he would always help her whenever there were things she didn't understand with homework or lessons from her tutors. Luka refers to Tenebris as Calamity since it is being used as her alias whenever they are together or communicating with one another, in Luka finds it to be polite and respectful to refer to someone by their surname then their first name when they become very close friends. He still calls her Calamity as the name has grown on him but sometimes calls her Cala for short.
Damien -The son of Ren, Tenebris absolutely despises him. She thinks that Damien is the one who tore Raphael away from her. The reason why she dislikes him so much is that there are times when she is at her home castle in Helheim and Damien raids it with a small team of strong viscet. Damien had also stated to her that he would be the one who will take over Helheim and he would start with her then move on to the realm's patron. It is very rude for a total stranger to come tromping through a castle with their posse in tow, knock out some of your strongest generals and guards, declare that they are going to destroy you and take over your home realm, steal some things and leave. She's still mainly upset at how Raphael is hanging around with the likes of Damien despite him not filling her in about his sudden disappearance.
"Childhood Fondness" (Past)
I was born in Helheim and both of my parents were the king and queen which meant that I was the next in line heir. My upbringing was a little strict for my likes and I didn't really have any friends. I was mostly arranged to have playdates with friends of the royal family or other nobles. After an incident bearing the loss of my father my mother decided to keep me shut in the castle and all my playdates from then on occurred there. By my teen years I became a little more rebellious than obedient and often snuck out of the castle over to Midgard. It was there when I met my two best friends, Iwan and Luka, they were both my age but the problem for us was that we had to keep our friendship a secret from everyone at our homes. Iwan was the foster son of Ren who was from the Oblivion realm and Luka was an apprentice at the Salvatore realm and those two sides were in conflict with my home realm of Niflheim. We all didn't care if we were supposed to be enemies and we had some real great times together. My mother later on found out that I had been sneaking out and was rather angry but her anger subsided when I had told her that my little expeditions were only to Midgard. I was grounded to my room for a full season, when my punishment was over my mother called me in for an audience and there was a blue and green horned viscet in the room as well. My mother explained to me that she would allow me to explore out in the world but only in Midgard and to make sure that I was safe and not breaking the condition she hired a bodyguard and gestured to the viscet. With a curt bow he was introduced as Raphael and my mother ended our conversation to return her to her duties. After a short conversation we went to Midgard and I introduced him to Luka and Iwan who were delighted to meet a potential new friend to hang out with. Our days passed by rather well, we all hung out did some fun things and sometimes took on some rather wacky quests and Raphael would save our hides when things got a little too intense. As we got older it started to get harder and harder for us all to meet up and Raphael would only show up on certain days of the week. By the time I reached full maturity and a young adult, we all no longer saw each other and Raphael had disappeared without a word, without a trace. On that same day my mother passed away and the throne was up for the taking thus sparking a political war of sorts. It sounds unfair since I technically am the heir but that's how it always worked. I had difficulty finding people who would back me until I met another demon named Raven, I learned that he was scrutinized by the other demons since he was a mix of them. After a while of talking Raven told me that he would back me in taking the throne back. He believed my judgements to be just, that I treated him as an equal than something of lesser existence and that it is my birthright. With his help we went through some hardships but eventually we won and I ascended the throne. There are days when I think back to the past and remember all the fond memories of the viscets I befriended and the good times we had.
"Even one such as I has morals." (Story #1)
Tenebris was sleeping peacefully in her tent when she heard a commotion outside. Feeling annoyed she opened her eyes and arose from the pile of furs that made up her sleeping area. She stepped out and saw many demons starting to gather around a tree and the crowd chatter was enough to make her feel annoyed, she could have dismissed the commotion and hurried along but her attention was caught when she heard these words "Look, it's an Abyss child, should we eat it?" , "I bet we can easily defeat that Abysswalker now, this child definitely looks like his.". "A child from the Abyss, that means it's Artorias's", thought Tenebris as she walked towards the crowd with a hardened expression. Upon seeing their queen's arrival the crowd parted so she could pass through.
Tenebris stopped at the foot of the tree and saw a viscling with it's back to the tree and it's mane fluffed up in warning as it held a stick in it's jaws. Tenebris chuckled as she saw the fear and bravery in the young viscling's eyes. "What should we do with it my queen?", a demon asked and others started to speak as well but all fell silent as she raised a paw in the air. "What I do with the viscling is of no concern to all of you now leave, I shall handle this myself with Raven as my escort.", Tenebris said loudly for all to hear. The demons grumbled in disappointment and left as Raven strode over upon hearing his name called "Good morning my lady,
you seem to outshine the moon and eclipse today." Raven cooly greeted, his eyes full of mischief and charm. Tenebris dismissed it as she knew better than to indulge him "There you are, I need you to come with me to find the Abysswalker. I believe our best bet would be to approach the Abyss." Raven stared at her hard "Are you serious? What in the world are you thinking going to a place like that?
Yes I am totally capable of finding it but seriously, you could get swallowed up if you get too close.", Raven let out a sigh "You know what, as you wish." Tenebris nodded and walked over to the viscling who raised it's stick in warning "Do not be afraid little one,
no one is going to hurt you. I have decided to take you home to your father." the viscling stared at her with suspicion "Who are you?", it spoke in a soft, gallant yet sweet voice. "I am Tenebris, the demon queen of this realm.", Tenebris answered with a nod from the viscling. "My name is
Arturia, daughter of
Artorias the Abysswalker.", the viscling said with an edge of politeness in her tone then allowed Tenebris to pick her up with her forearms and with a tsk from Raven they set out to the Abyss. Raven stopped them a few yards away and Tenebris gazed at the murky darkness and wondered if those caught in it would truly be lost to the world then remembered that Artorias was a pawn of it then wondered how it chose it's champions. As if her thoughts called out to him, Artorias stepped out of the Abyss with a cold expression, the air was filled with tension as his eyes settled on Arturia who had decided to take a nap on the way. "What brings you demons here?", Artorias's deep but gallant voice questioned them, his tail swished and his glow blazed like a star. Tenebris gently woke Arturia up and set her down "Abysswalker, we were just returning something that belongs to you, it wandered near our camp by Ebalon.", Tenebris said with a calm tone as Arturia perked her ears up and scampered over to Artorias with the stick. Raven backed up as Artorias lowered his head down to nuzzle Arturia and brought her closer to him protectively with his tail then rose to his full height. "I appreciate you bringing my child back to me unharmed but I must ask what has caused you to do so, the acquisition of a favor? A trap? Perhaps something else that reaps you benefits?", Artorias inquired cautiously and Tenebris shook her head and signaled for Raven to return ahead of her, "No no, I simply decided to bring her back as she was lost and all lost children must go back to their parents. I know you think I may be after something but I'll have you know that even one such as I have my morals Abysswalker. I did what I thought and saw as the right thing to do, now I bid you farewell." Tenebris dipped her head slightly then followed Raven back to the camp.
"We meet again" (Winter 13, Year - XXXV) (Story #2)
It was a harsh and cold winter when it happened, something that no one had exactly expected. I was finishing up the paperwork at my castle home for the day when an explosion was heard and I heard demons running about and shouting to prepare for battle. Raven ran in and informed me that we were being attacked. I had asked him how many we would be facing and he drew a shaky breath and said, "I know this sounds ridiculous but there are only ten of them." I scoffed, "How much damage has been done?" I found it real absurd until one of my generals ran into the room in urgency, "My queen please get to safety! They've taken out the main gate and watch towers and now they've destroyed the front entrance of the castle." I frowned then rushed to the throne room deciding that I may as well go down trying to defend my people and my home realm with Raven and the general in tow. As soon as we walked in we ducked down just as another general flew and hit a wall knocking her out. When I stood up and adjusted my eyesight to the lighting my heart nearly stopped. A dark gray viscet with a starry mane and horns was in the room but the one who incapacitated the general was Raphael, there was no mistaking him with his feather marking. "R-Raphael? What are you doing here?", I began then my anger flared as I glared at the dark gray viscet, "You, who are you and who do you think you are just marching in here doing whatever you please?"
The dark gray viscet grinned savagely and flicked it's ear, Raphael apparently understood and had knocked out the last general and had Raven by the throat against a wall. The dark gray viscet clapped as it strode over, "Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, witness as an angel of darkness incapacitates a demon." it laughed then it's expression turned serious, "I am Damien, son of Ren. I've come here to test your defenses for I plan to take over Helheim." he laughed after he spoke his plan as if it didn't matter if we knew or not. I was outraged but before I could do anything Damien gestured to Raphael who knocked out Raven then followed Damien as he walked away and other viscets joined them carrying bags of things they had decided to take. I watched as they left with my home in ruins. "So, we meet again, this time as enemies I assume." I whispered watching Raphael but he never looked back and I knew that this Damien was an evil foe that I would have to rise up to face for in a sense he declared war against me.
"Reunion is a precious moment" (Summer 15, Year XXXVI)
It was a rather hot summer this year, it had been two seasons, half a year since I last saw Damien and when my castle had last been directly attacked. Last season, there was a council meeting for all realms and societies and there was much discussion but somehow we had all agreed to a ceasefire that would last 25 years. During this time the conflict would subside, small scuffles may occur but direct attacks or invasions were not allowed and councils would have to be held once or twice every season which was almost the same as the old meeting schedule. After the meeting had ended I noticed Iwan and Luka walking off somewhere and joined one as everyone else decided to return home or chat amongst themselves. The two stopped outside the council building by a fountain, when they spotted me they smiled and waved in greeting and I couldn't help but return the gesture then walked over to them. "It's been a very long time hasn't it?", Luka asked with a glimmer in his eyes, his voice had gotten deep and he seemed much more wiser than the last time I had seen him. Iwan nodded "Well we knew eventually when we reached adulthood things wouldn't be the same.", he spoke in a smooth and silky voice that wasn't deep like Luka's. I nodded "It really has, I'm just glad that none of us decided that the times we had weren't important at all.", I said placing a paw on the fountain, "At least for you two that is, Raphael hasn't exactly been friendly these last few years." I continued on. I told them about my mother's passing and Raphael's sudden disappearance and reappearance and what had happened when Damien had attacked that day. They both listened carefully, Iwan's expression slowly grew in disgust and Luka seemed to ponder something but neither had interrupted. When I had finished Iwan snarled and punched a pillar "I always knew that he was a jerk but I didn't think he'd be a back stabber. The next time I see him I'll punch him so hard it'll make his ancestors dizzy.", he roared. Luka lightly bopped Iwan on the head with a folded fan and made a tsking sound before scolding him, "Now now Iwan, hitting him is not the best course of action. Maybe there was a reason to it, perhaps he was made to do it. Calamity, if you wish to know why he is with Damien and why he did what he did then we should ask him ourselves in a peaceful environment and situation." I thought about it and nodded in agreement, it sounded like the best course of action to take. I didn't know how to get the answers without problems arising as I was more accustomed to the way of life back at home. We discussed things further and Luka ended up asking Raphael if he would like to meet up with us to hang out and talk. To our surprise Raphael agreed and settled on a date, time, and location with Luka. Luka had told me and Iwan that the location was at a coffee shop in Midgard called "Sweet Caffeine" and to meet there in the morning at the 9th hour on the 15th of Summer which brings us to now. I had trouble falling asleep the night before since I was concerned if things would change and I couldn't handle the news from Raphael or that the chaos I caused and created during the conflict would tear us apart. I did like chaos and all but our friendship was more valuable to me than that.
I ended up waking at the 5th hour and groomed myself for my fur had become horridly disarrayed with my tossing and turning. I pulled Raven aside and told him to take over my duties for the day until I returned which shouldn't be too long, "Before nightfall."
was what I had promised Raven. I set off to Midgard and had some trouble locating the coffee shop. By the time I had entered the coffee shop everyone had already arrived, I checked the time to find that I had somehow arrived right on time. I took a seat at the table and no one spoke as they looked through the menu, I settled on a milk tea. After everyone placed their order Raphael was the first to speak, "So, I have this hunch that the reason you all called me here isn't to just hang out. I rather not have this dragged out so out with it alright? What is it that you want?" his voice was a bit monotonous and a bit deep with a hint of an accent. Luka was the first to speak as I would have probably said something else and Iwan might have sparked a fight. "Raphael, Calamity has questions for you, we heard from her and are curious as well. Why did you just suddenly disappear? What is it that made you accompany Damien on that attack? When did you start to hang around him?", Luka was being gentle in his tone but very straightforward with the questions as Raphael may get impatient or frustrated early in the questioning. Raphael was silent and stayed silent as a black and white viscet served us our drinks and some condiments to use in our drinks, I had immediately started to add a generous amount of honey to my milk tea as it was hard to resist but everyone else was already adding their usual to their beverages as well. Raphael had finished stirring some creamer into his black coffe before he spoke again, "Things had happened, I do apologize for suddenly leaving but if I told any of you, you might have followed and gotten hurt as well." he paused then started to speak softly hinting to us that this was a rather delicate subject for him, "Tenebris, you know that I'm not a demon and that I am from Midgard. I was an angel and shaman in training and had training as a warrior when your mother hired me when I was offering my services. Where I live it is very cold and has plenty of ice and snow, one day I had noticed that I was feeling strange and read my fate with stones, feathers, and bones. All they would tell me was that something bad would occur and that no one should be around when it happens. I learned that it would occur the same day you entered adulthood Tenebris and it would be harder to stay normal the closer the date got. That day when you entered adulthood I had changed, the magic that I was born with had corrupted and changed me as well and I became an angel of darkness. I went an a rampage and my powers were out of control, I wasn't able to get a grip on my own senses until Damien had knocked me out. When I had awoken he had offered to help me control my powers, it wasn't perfect but it is better than nothing.
In exchange for his help I would have to help him but there was also a threat he had made, he knew a secret that I didn't want anyone knowing. I wasn't myself the day of the attack either, there's some times when it happens but not all the time." I had listened patiently as he explained and when he finished I didn;t really know what to say but I knew that he had been through a lot and he felt bad about not saying anything. All I did was walk over to him and hugged him gently but firmly, "It must have been real rough, I'm glad your back though even for a little bit.", I whispered to him. I had missed him so much, he was one of my closest friends and his disappearance had worried me. Luka had nodded and also joined the hug, Iwan let out a huff in stubbornness then eventually gave in,
"Well at least you seem regretful about it. I guess I can forgive you." Iwan said reluctantly and Luka pulled him into the group hug.
"So Raph, do you still have to help Damien or are we able to hang out again?", I asked and he looked at me in the eyes and answered, "In a way I still do, but for now we can still hang out, I may have to keep it a secret though or in my off days." I smiled and squeezed them all a bit tighter. "We have much to catch up on but you know what? Reunion is a precious moment." I said with a big smile. We all shared our stories for the time we had not been apart and all was well and my anxiety was over nothing as no one was upset by the things I did. The sun had began to set when we all had decided on the next time we would meet and I returned home back to my duties.
