Description - Rathma is short and extremely thin. He has pale blond hair he keeps around neck length and blue eyes. His eyes are covered by a milky film; Rathma is blind. He has aristocratic features and an overall feminine, ethereal beauty to him.
As a girl, Rathma has a model's body. Very thin, and practically no chest to speak of. Her features are slightly softer, but overall very similar to her usual form.
Transformed, Rathma has feathered black wings; they resemble those of a fallen angel. His horns are a pale bone color, sprouting from the top of his forehead and curving back over his skull.
Clothing - Rathma wears simple clothing that is easy to put on and take off. He has mastered more intricate things, but he prefers simplicity. His clothing is usually in neutral colors, so he doesn't clash no matter what he picks out. He prefers formal wear.
Personality - Rathma is very passive and formal. He is a quiet, polite man, and lives to please others. He is fairly lonely, and can get very clingy and protective of the friends and family he has. He has a self-sacrificing habit a mile wide, putting other's needs before his own all the time. He doesn't get mad very easily, but when he does he becomes very aggressive and reckless, not thinking of the consequences of his actions at all.
Character History - Rathma was not a planned birth. A result of the demon queen Lilith's last minute plan to seduce the archangel Gabriel to fulfill her quota of sacrificial eggs, Rathma was never a healthy baby. He was born with very poor eyesight, and by the time he was past the infant stage he was completely blind. He was given to the incubus Mikhah to be raised. Mikhah was a loner at heart, a necessity to protect the child's identity.
When Rathma was still an infant, he managed to wander away from Mikhah's home. He wandered into the wilderness around their home, and when danger threatened, he was found by his biological father, Gabriel. Gabriel took the child home, unable and unwilling to harm his flesh and blood. He promised to watch over Rathma from then on, and sometimes visited the boy.
Mikhah raised Rathma well, teaching the quiet child to be independent despite his disability. He taught Rathma how to sense the life within people, and to identify his surroundings with his magic. He showed him how to use his other senses to get around, and how to charm people using his blindness.
Unfortunately, when Rathma was 15 (the incubus equivalent), angels found out about Mihkah. Gabriel managed to warn the incubus of the impending raid, allowing him to prepare and make sure Rathma was out of the house when the angels struck. Mikhah died in the attack, sacrificing his life to protect his son. He left Rathma a note detailing his reasoning and apologizing for leaving him.
The teen was devastated. He had to be taken away from the house by force, and bound so he would not go after the angels himself. He fell into a deep depression, and it was only the thought that Mikhah would be sacrificing himself for nothing that kept him from suicide. That day Rathma adopted his policy of pacifism: as he saw it, fighting only brought needless bloodshed and pain. He knew friendship was possible between angels and demons, and even love.
Rathma got permission from Lucifer to return to Earth and set up an area of neutrality. He traveled the world, getting the agreement of the leaders of the races to not attack each other while in the area protected by the pact. He even managed to get the angels to agree: Gabriel was their representative, and took this as his chance to see his son.
The place protected moved all over, until Rathma settled in America and took over a club named Rumors. He ran it for many, many centuries as Ryan Baxter. At one point, his elder brother Zacharias moved in, citing that Rathma needed his support and attention. Rathma grew very attached to his brother as a result, sticking by him whenever he could.
Zacharias used that attachment against him. Being around Rathma so much let him needle his little brother about his issues, constantly poking at them whenever he got the chance. Rathma had not been healthy since Mikhah's death. He barely ate enough to stay alive, often got sick because of his weakened immune system, and fell into deep depressions at the drop of a hat. Zach would often force him to eat, pick at his emotional wounds, and generally try to force Rathma out of his rut. He kept at it so long, Rathma eventually snapped and ran.
He flew away from his club, teleporting blindly to get away and using so much energy he passed out midflight. Rathma crashed on a small island in the Mediterranean. He was found by the island's inhabitants, and by a stroke of luck, was taken care of by them. His wounds were dressed and his broken bones set; Rathma had broken his wings, an arm, and his back. He had bone deep bruises and large scrapes all over; the scars of the deepest are still with him today.
Rathma awoke to find himself in a hut, being tended to by a medusa named Morana. AND CONTINUE FROM HERE...
Abilities
Enhanced Senses - Beyond even those of a regular incubus. What Rathma lacks in sight he makes up for in his other senses.
Bow training - Who would expect the blind man to be able to shoot so accurately? Sensing life has its uses.
The Pull - Like other incubi, Rathma has a pull. He is extremely well trained in its use, though it is not as strong as most.
Angelic Powers - Rathma has limited angelic powers, which grant him a natural immunity to holy and unholy energies. It makes him a very dangerous opponent for those who rely on holy magic.
Diminished Healing - Because of his blood, Rathma does not heal as quickly as his brethren. However, holy powers don't slow his healing like they do for other demons.
Equipment
None.
Companions - Besides his older brother, no one. Rathma is a loner.
Notes - Fans of Diablo may recognize the name. Rathma is new, and developing nicely. I hope to include him in other RPs soon.
