Classical demon gets summoned story, although it’s more of an accidental thing if anything. Might be a bit more mature, but we’ll keep it within the rules.

Imagine this. It’s 2:30 AM, and you’re unable to sleep. You go to hangout in your very safe basement, do some exploring, and you come across some books. Old books, actually. You don’t know how long they’ve been there, maybe one of the previous home owners owned it..although their departure (aka death, but no ones gonna tell you that the previous homeowners were murdered right off the bat…) was sudden, so they were unable to take it with them.

Opening up the book you fine it’s filled with words you don’t understand whatsoever. They’re in a different language. Curious, you pick a random line and try to sound it out. The lights flicker, but you pay it no mind. You proceed until the end of the line, where suddenly, the power finally gives out, and the house goes almost dead silent.

And then you hear something moving around upstairs.


Basically demon adapting to human customs - “YOU CANT JUST KILL PEOPLE” - and human getting used to a new demon roommate. Or not. Maybe they never quite get used to him.

If this is a romance, I’d prefer it to be straight, so you’d need to make a girl for this. Otherwise anything’s fine. Please do not let this die within a week at least. I’d also like to say that I’d prefer to be the demon. RP will probably have a mixture of light themes and heavier themes.

Straight onto the rules we go.

  1. Please make an attempt to be a mature RPer. It says mature in the title as well. We will be keeping things within the rules here, so if things get a bit too…snappy, we’ll take it into PMs and maybe back out when it’s done.
  2. I reserve the right to deny or accept you as needed.
  3. Please try to use proper grammar.
  4. Some forms of violence is probably to be expected. Blood as well. Just remember, there’s a time and place for everything. Will probably be a bit more blood in this rp though.
  5. Swearing is allowed.
  6. No one liners. They’re very tricky (for me) to respond to.
  7. This list is subject to change, so keep that in mind.
  8. Let me know if you’ll be inactive.
  9. Try to be active in the meantime.

And the template. As always remove brackets and let me know if you’ll be joining before you fill it out. Ask any questions you may have.

@Knick

Name: Although Torzonas is his given name, Torz prefers a more human name. Tadeusz Kielar is typically what he goes by.
Age: Tadeusz is around 24 or so years of age. While certain species of demons age slower or quicker than others, Tadeusz ages more similar to humans.
Gender: Male.
Sexuality: Most likely heterosexual.
Appearance: At around 6’5” Tadeusz is quite tall. His structure could be described as being built, albeit ‘large’ but also muscled. Aside from a few features here and there, Tad is human, physically speaking. He is a bit shy about his mouth though, which is probably the only part he really lacks the ability to change, so he hides it instead. His mouth, filled with razor sharp canine teeth, is unable to close fully, so he just resorts to covering it up. It can look pretty intimidating to be in a conversation with someone who’s very sharp teeth are showing while they make direct eye contact with you. Tad understands that. Somewhat. Most of the time.
Another peculiarity with him is his eyes. It’s not in the dark where his eyes change colours, more so at night time. During the hours of the night, the irises of his eyes glow a pineapple yellow, with black sclera. As usual, pupils are still black. During the day time, his eyes are a dark hazel shade. This doesn’t happen when he goes into a dark room, just whenever it’s night, it could be completely lit up in the house and still his eyes may be the same yellow. He may wear shades to hide it, but normally it’s not a feature he’s bothered by. Ear length dark brown hair, straight. Slightly sharper finger nails, stronger too. Claws if you will, but he keeps them trimmed, though they grow fast.

He can take on a more demonic form if needed, however…TBD probably.

Clothing: For a demon, Tad prefers some humanish clothing. Wears a thick dark grey jacket, with bands of yellow on the shoulders. Occasionally sports shades if he’s going somewhere public at night. Black cargo pants and boots. Typically wears the hood up.
Wears a mask to cover mouth. Goes up to the bridge of his nose. No specific design on the mask.
Personality: Tad tends to be very curious of human culture, since he’s never really met a human up close and personal. And actually spoken to one for a long period of time. He tends to be mischievous, with a somewhat short attention span. Although, Tad is extremely self aware, but he does tend to overthink things sometimes.
Despite his somewhat extroverted and bold nature, Tad can also be somewhat shy about certain things. He doesn’t like to reveal his ‘demonic’ features, though he has no problem using the abilities he has…just not against other people or beings.
Although typically hard to anger, Tad does lash out if feeling irritated. He remembers things that are said, either good things or bad things, and typically takes them to heart.

Fears/weaknesses: Tad fears dogs, for whatever reason. He also doesn’t like looking at his own reflection, it’s not really a fear per say but something he’s not a huge fan of. Probably because of the whole ‘teeth’ thing he’s got going on. Things that typically ward off demons don’t really scare him per say, just confuse him, but if it touches his skin, salt can burn him very slightly. He can ingest it, however. Fears his mother for good reasons.
He’s also not a big fan of pitchforks. Fears deep water.
Hobbies/skills: Tad enjoys learning although he does possess a smaller attention span than some people. If he’s really interested, he can focus. He likes to practice using his abilities, but he doesn’t enjoy using them on other living beings. Such abilities could include possession for a very limited amount of time, VERY limited teleportation and moderate control over fire. Pretty good immunity though…More like complete immunity. Capable of partial transformation to true form and complete transformation, both of which he dislikes doing.
Background: Born in Hell, baby. Tad, second child of Ornan. Ornan is one of the strongest demons on her turf, and controls quite a bit of it too. She expected a lot from Tad, because Relmin lived up to her exceptions, so why shouldn’t he?
He did not, though, and Ornan doesn’t really want much to do with Tad. Shortly after his birth Brakon was born, and Tad really disliked the fact Ornan kept comparing his siblings to Tad. Finally, Tad had enough and went up to the human realm, where he found himself allured by the human culture above. One thing led to another and he ended up in a house, in the human realm. However, Tad at the time was much weaker and found himself unable to leave and explore..unfortunately he was not the only inhabitant.

Ewa, who believed in demons lived in the home, and became aware of Tad pretty quickly, given he wasn’t a sneaky demon. She began to take measures to prevent him from getting to certain rooms, which greatly confused Tad. Especially Ewa, when she realized her defences were failing. It took months before she found something that worked: salt.
You can imagine Tad’s surprise (and fear) when he was unable to reach a good half of the house because of the salt, and for weeks, he’d spend many hours of the day and night scratching against the walls and walking around, also giving Ewa many sleepless nights. However, she made no plans to change, only reapplying the salt every now and then.
It was an unfortunate experience then, for some friends to come by and see what had become of Ewa days after she refused to respond to any calls or messages. Found dead, the murder of Ewa Gala remained a lesser known mystery, since it was covered up quickly. And still unsolved as well. The only theories of what happened was an animal attack..but why would an animal deliberately go into a house? Much less one that was locked? All the claw marks were covered up, literally, in a layer of wallpaper, but if someone were to peel it off, it wouldn’t take much to see the scars of the past. Listen..I’m not saying it’s Tad, but he was the only one in the house besides Ewa. Perhaps there’s something a bit deeper to that mystery, but we’re not here to solve that…..yet.

What no one but for Tad himself knew was Ewa sending Tad back to the realm where he came from. Although, Tad remains linked to the house, so if someone were to undo Ewa’s doings, he would surely return to the house..but that’s impossible, right?

Relations: Ornan, his ‘mother’ (demons do not have parents under the same terms that we do, though Ornan did create Tad in a way.) His ‘father’ Rigmek, who he didn’t really know for that long. One sibling the same age as himself, Brakon, and Relmin, the oldest child in the family. Didn’t get along with his siblings that well, Relmin always saw Tad as inferior and Brakon just doesn’t care about anyone in general.
The previous homeowner, Ewa Gala. Tad was more curious with her if anything, but Ewa hated demons so she was quite upset with the idea of sharing her own home with one, so she tried to ward Tad off.

Other: Tends to go by either Torz or Tad for nicknames.

@Shadow_Knight group

Name: Emerald "Em" Sallow
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Em stands around 5'7. She is quite thin, even gangly looking at times. She's never been able to put much weight on because of her fast metabolism. She has light brown hair that she usually keeps back in a single braid. She has emerald green eyes.
Clothing: Em prefers to wear loose light blue overalls, with a pastel colored t shirt underneath. She likes to wear big brown doc martens if she has to wear shoes, if she can go with out them though, she will. She likes to wear a light purple bandanna to keep the flyaway hair out of her eyes. Her eyesight isn't the best so she wears medium size black frame glasses
Personality: If you had to sum Em up in one word, it would be curious. Maybe too much for her own good. She constantly wants to try and discover new things. She is also very caring and creative. Em doesn't mind people, but she would prefer to be alone. Despite being alone a lot, she is no way shy and has no problem speaking her mind.
Fears/weaknesses: Em has a huge fear of spiders because when she was younger a spider crawled into her hair. She had a unexplained fear of needles as well. She doesn't have a problem with blood, just needles.
Hobbies/skills: She likes to paint and draw in her free time. She enjoys reading as well. She has a lot of plants around her house that she takes care of. She is good at cooking, but couldn't bake to save her life.
Background: Em grew up in a pretty normal house hold. Just her parents and herself. The only thing that could be considered off was the mass amount books her parents had only supernatural objects and beings.
Relations: Both her parents are alive but she doesn't live near them. She has a cat named Rebel and a snake named Silver.

You could say it was an underestimation to be confused when Tadeusz found himself in a bathtub. How did you get into a completely empty bathtub in a dark room? He didn’t know, so don’t ask him. The appearance was so sudden, Tadeusz took a moment to realize where he was. It was as if he was in one, much darker place at first, then the next second he was in a still dark but not as dark bathroom.

He stayed still for a few moments before sitting up and exiting the bathroom. Anyone below the floor would be able to hear the steps of his boots on the floor, which were slow, as he was trying to be cautious. But his eyes, which due to the late- or very early hours, gave a clear glow in the dark. It would be easy for anyone to see those in the dark.

I recognize this place.. Tadeusz walked by the walls, hand brushing against them. Careful not to press his nails into the walls for obvious reasons. How was he here? All he remembered was..well, just being sent away. There didn’t seem to be anyone here, not that he could see just yet. Maybe this was just a dream?

@Shadow_Knight group

Emerald stared at the line in the book, wondering silently to herself what it meant. These books had always interested her but she couldn't read the language it was written so she had never bothered with it until now. Amazing what a sleepless night can make you do.
That was when she heard the footsteps upstairs. She froze up, holding her breath, to make sure it wasn't her imagination. Once she realized it wasn't in her head she jumped up, putting the book back in the box it was in and searching the basement. She had a bat or something down here, right?
Em ended up finding a shovel. She slowly made her way up the basement stairs, looking for who or what made the noise.

@Knick

Tadeusz eventually turned the corner, to which he entered the kitchen. His eyes moved to the windows and he could slightly see the faint reflection of his form in the window, but aside from that, it wasn’t too much. He turned himself around, inspecting anything left on the counters.

He wasn’t sure how long it had been since he had been sent away. Probably a fair amount of time though, Tadeusz finally decided, glancing up at the clock. The time.. 2 AM, probably early in the morning from what he could recall.

He shuffled around the cupboards and drawers, looking to see what was inside each of them. Get a new feel for your somewhat new surroundings.

@Shadow_Knight group

Emerald snunk upstairs, going from room to room, looking for who ever made the noises she heard down stairs. She was about to head back to bed before she peeked into the kitchen, freezing when she someone in her kitchen.
Her mind raced as she thought of what to do. She couldn't call the police because she left her phone in her room and she would need to go through the kitchen to get to it. She didn't want to address him or make him aware of her presence yet because he could obviously overpower her.
With no other options she did the first thing she could think as he got closer to the doorway. Step out and swing her shovel at him.

@Knick

Tadeusz was beginning to get bored of searching the kitchen. There was only so much you could do in one room. However, there was still quite a bit of the house left to see, and as far as Tadeusz could tell, this time, there were no limits as to what he could and couldn’t visit.

Tadeusz only had a brief few seconds to react when someone moved out of the doorway and swung a large object at him. His reflexes were decent enough, and he was able to stop the shovel with his hands, gripping onto it, however it still hurt and caused him to flinch back.
His eyes studied the shovel, and he quickly remembered that someone had swung it at him. They moved down to focus on the person who he could identify as a woman, and for a moment, he stood in silence.
Things seemed to register, however, and Tadeusz‘s eyes seemed to shrink as he quickly released the shovel with a very faint gasp and he backed away.

@Shadow_Knight group

Em's eyes widened when she realized the man had caught the shovel.
"What the…" She muttered in shock before trying to pull it out of his grip. She locked eyes with him for a moment before he seemed to realize he had been caught. She stumbled back when he let go of the shovel, but quickly regained her balance.
Em pointed her shovel at the man and tried to look as threatening as possible. "Who the you and why the hell are you in my house?" She growled, trying to sound intimidating.

@Knick

Tadeusz had backed up until he was near the wall, though not against it. If need be, he could flee…

Throwing his hands up, Tadeusz quickly spoke, his tone clearly panicked. He glanced to the side, observing the room around him. “I didn’t - I didn’t know there were still people here! I’m sorry!“ He paused. “Tadeusz, my name is Tadeusz!”

@Shadow_Knight group

"So you just waltzed into a house, assuming it was abandoned?" Em asked, still pointing her shovel at him. The man didn't seem to be a threat, but something about him didn't add up. "Why are you here? What do you want?"

@Knick

Tadeusz shook his head quickly. “No, no. I didn’t walk in. I was already here,” he explained, not taking into account that she might not realize what he meant. “I don’t want…” He paused, raising a finger.

“Wait…you’re a human?” His tone switched to become more curious, head slightly tilted.

@Shadow_Knight group

Em blinked a few times in confusion. "What else would I be?" She questioned, now sounding very confused. Her grip on the shovel faltered a bit, lowering it slightly.
"Were you living in my house?" She asked, thinking back to the stories she had heard of people living in other peoples homes without them knowing.

@Knick

Tadeusz falters. “Well..I..”

“I lived here before,” he started, “then someone sent me away. Then a few minutes ago I showed up here.” He lowers his hands, moving forwards slightly out of interest. The only other human he’d met was Ewa, and Ewa didn’t like Tadeusz. This human was actually speaking to him, though.

He lowers himself, as if trying to get down to height with the human to look at her.

@Shadow_Knight group

Em took a step back as the man moved forward a bit. She was beyond confused at this point. Was he the houses previous owner?
"What?" She asked, taking another step back when he bent down to her level.

@Knick

Tadeusz stares at her, not in any sort of aggression or anything like that, more in curiosity. Instead, he seemed to slowly reach out to her, as if to touch her face. “I’ve never seen a human this close before,” he murmured.

@Shadow_Knight group

"Don't touch me." Emerald growled, raising the shovel up enough to touch the tip of his chest.
"Look, buddy. I'm confused and kinda tired so you're going to lay this out cut and dye for me. What the hell is going on?" She asked, sounding exasperated.
