Named aptly, Riordan was created with the purpose of playing advisor and entertainer to his lord Asmodeus, ruler of the first kingdom of hell. Given his creator's area, the young demon has always had a penchant for seduction despite not being an official incubus. Hell knows he certainly has the looks for it. Riordan stands at an even six feet, but he holds himself with pride, projecting the illusion of greater height. The ram's horns that protrude from his head of copper blonde hair circle down and around to frame his sheep-like ears. Their curvature contrasts his sharp features, his well-defined jaw softened only by the thin layer of scruff that graces his face. His eyes could almost pass for human if not for the striking yellow colour of each iris. If you get close enough to look into his them, you'll notice thin veins of pale green trailing through that vibrant gold. You'll also win yourself a cheeky smile that shows off a set of sharply pointed canines amidst an otherwise human set of teeth. Those pearly whites hide a tongue that is, like his other features, primarily human. If extended, you'll see that the end forks into two tips transitioning from red to black.
Yes, the hellspawn is handsome, devilishly so, and he knows it. Riordan delights in stirring up sinful desires, wearing an open dress shirt in order to show off his muscular physique. If you can get the shirt off him, you'll see that his well-sculpted back is somewhat marred by extensive scarification beginning at his shoulders and ending around the mid-point of the thoracic region, tapering off alongside his spine. He tries to keep them hidden and is not eager to discuss their purpose as they expose a weak point, but a trained eye may recognize the collection of binding spells. Riordan is, after all, a servant in spite of his defiant nature. He served as a familiar to a naive young alchemist for some time, eventually besting the poor, inexperienced boy and escaping into the mortal world. He's found he quite likes it here, surrounded by so many creatures ripe for corruption. He fears experienced magic users for their potential power over him, but it takes some pressing to uncover this fact. The demon is, naturally, an exceptional liar.
The last obvious feature that betrays his heritage is a long, prehensile, spaded tail. The flesh-toned base rests atop the waistline of his tattered jeans, its colour gradually deepening into rich crimson. This reddish tint can also be found at the tips of his fingers, ears, toes, and genitals. He's mostly hairless with the exception of the feathery locks atop his head and a matching thicket that frames his uncut manhood.
Though he has a typical appearance he maintains, the demon is a rather adept shapeshifter. Given that is power is derived primarily from tempting mortals, he'll often alter his appearance to meet a target's preferences.
Riordan is quite young for his species and thus has very little experience with the mortal realm. His expertise surrounds issues unique to his home, having had no training or trials in enticing souls yet to be damned. His age, looks, and inexperience combine to keep him rather arrogant. He does, however, have a talent for talking himself both into beds and out of trouble.
Finally, while Riordan has no bestial form to speak of, some of his more hellish traits emerge when he's subject to spells, holiness, or intimately entwined with other hellspawn.
He'll be the first to tell you he's safe to approach, but beware of trusting a demon's word.
Important: Names are powerful in magic and mythology. As such, Riordan's full title, Chigaru Catulus ex Asmodeus, is closely guarded. [OOC note: Seriously, unless he's told you outright, you probably won't know it. If you've figured out some way around this, please run it by me out of character first.
If you managage to get a look at him shirtless, this is what you would see:
Across his shoulders:
אני קורא לך לשרת אותי, שד, לתת הנאה כשאני רוצה את זה, ולקחת את הכאב כאשר היא ניתנת. לכרוע על ברכיים בלי שאלה, ללא התנגדות, בשר מבשרי. הנשימה שלך היא הנשימה שלי. לא תהיה לך שלום בלי ברכה שלי. אתה לא תנוח עד שאשחרר אותך.
Down his back:
Canes suus Asmodeus, audite me nunc. Tu etiam mihi. Meus es tu imperare.
Canem fovearum, desideriis hominorum desiderem tuum, tu exaudio me. Tibi iubeo ut flecterentur.
Canem inferi, infectus semini, audi me nunc. Inclina ad me.
Ex nunc, donec terebravisse sum vobiscum, paegnium meum es.
Noli pugnare.
Esto subiectus.
Tu adoratius me.
Tu servietis me.
Tu sanguinem fundunt ad me.
Meus es tu. Tu me aliquid nisi cum. Sum dominae tuum. Sum deae tuum.
Unless your character is fluent in both Hebrew and Latin (something you'd better have some serious story-backing for), you likely won't be able to decipher the meanings of these spells. Please try to keep in mind that this is a character, it'd be thoroughly appreciated to be met in a like manner.]
