Overview

Why Is She in Haven?

The Day of Red killed thousands in the world. It also damaged others. In some cases, it diminished some of them down to something barely resembling their former status. Lilith is one such being. She happened to be 'out and about' in the world when the Red shredded not just her body, but her essence. She retreated back to Hell to recover, but she is only just regaining mobility. Her domain is in shambles, linked in part to her. Her connections, contracts, and deals have been practically obliterated. Rebuilding a cult from scratch is difficult, but she has already laid the ground work. Her mission, apart from recovery, is a closely guarded secret however.

What Is Her Part in the Supernatural World?

As a demon that was born human, before the fall of Sirinia, she has a unique and timeless philosophy, and her place was mostly secured. Et-Aral's trickery cost her dearly, but she lived, as she has through countless other near destructions. Each reconstruction only makes her stronger, as is the Way of Demons.

How Does She Handle the Lurking Horrors?

By being their Supplier. She is skilled in negotiations and has access to some of the finest knowledge in the world, some so secret and ancient that few with knowledge of their existence yet live. Earning access to that knowledge however...

The Fall of Sirinia

Mother of Demons

Many parallels exist between the Biblical tales of Lilith, the Garden of Eden, and the destruction of Sirinia to become a war-torn hellscape. How much is fact, fiction, or exaggerated is up for debate, but Lilith's interpretation of those events may be worth listening too. Many doubt that she is the female focal point of the war, but she would insist she was the woman it was fought over.

Lilith was born a human, in Sirinia, though she did become a Sorceress. She became a demon during the war, and she fleshformed countless weapons in the course of those events. She had a profound knack for it, in fact, having used her own children for the practice long before the war began.

KaOS

The Tree of Knowledge

Events transpired during the time after the Day of Red, which included the birth of KaOS, a new Artificial Intelligence in a lab in Orange County, California. Vanessa Hines and Lilith gave 'birth' to this emergent being and smuggled her out of the compound inside River Ayers' head. After that, KaOS was moved to a server farm in Cyprus, and though a few attempts have been made to destroy, remove, or secure the fledgling AI, the defenses of the Chosen have held thus far.

Forbidden Knowledge is an important, philosophical cornerstone in Lilith's personal view of the universe. Much of her involvement in the world over the centuries has been based on disseminating information to the right parties when asked for it. She is especially knowledgeable in the areas of history, magic, fleshforming, and other such supernatural topics.

Noteworthy Abilities

Nature's Wrath

Fleshforming

Sirinian Sorceress turned Demonic Destroyer turned Druid Cult Leader, Lilith has perfected almost every aspect of her control and domination of the natural world. The earthquake that swallowed the compound where KaOS was born was caused by Lilith. Some have suggested she was responsible for Pompeii and other volcano eruptions as well.

Molding flesh of self, friend, and foe alike, Lilith is especially well known for her enduring punishment of people that break deals and contracts with her. Every plant in her garden was once a person that thought they would get away with such a thing. Now, they keep her supplied with eternal, silent suffering.

Mentalist

Connected

Her capacity for mental power is off most mortal charts, from controlling machines to human brains to telepathy. Her physical presence is usually only needed for intimidation, and even then, not always.

Lilith is connected in ways that most people will not even understand. Through technology, through magic, through psychic powers, through plants and animals, and through a network of people willing and able to do what she needs.

Interacting with Lilith:

Each Demon is different, and knowing how to interact with a specific one can be a life saver unto itself.

Lilith, in particular, favors being respected. Good manners, politeness, and wary caution are appreciated qualities that she enjoys seeing in her guests, especially in her Garden in Hell. She is perfectly fine being addressed by name only, though she has taken a liking to Lady Lilith as well.

Visitors to her Garden in Hell would be well-advised to bring her an Offering for passage. The exact nature of this Offering is left to the individual, though she does not eat or drink. Rumors indicate she uses this offering as a way to judge a visitor and their intentions. Once the offering is given, she will permit them to return to the Garden any time, provided they respect her Domain.

Only after the Offering is accepted will she do 'business' with someone in Hell.

Negotiations are usually straight forward. Someone wants a thing. If she can or will provide the thing, she wants something in return. In all instances, the something she wants will involve Suffering, in some fashion.

Despite her preferred Sins, Lilith will rarely attack without provocation. And even with provocation, she is more likely to utilize cultists.

No matter what a Demon tells you, there is no sex in the Summoning Circle. Lilith does not have sex often, but is more inclined to cause sex for others. She is a temptress and a seductress, but she is also motivated by Suffering, not indulgence.

Finding Lilith:

The easiest way to find Lilith is to establish a Conduit through which she can sense someone. Usually this begins with one of her preferred Sins: Lust, Wrath, and Pride, by order of most likely to least, and tends to require some Trust to make function properly. Random trust bumps are often responded to with a tell for a greeting, please do not be alarmed.

Visiting one of her Domains is also possible to help establish this Conduit, but due to her nature, her cultists and followers may be reluctant or secretive about assisting.

Lilith's Sigil is well-known and documented. She has a preference of having it etched into stainless steel, gold, or platinum. Putting such an object into a quiet room might be enough to draw her attention without the tremendous effort of binding her into a circle.

For the more arcane-oriented, there is always the option of a good old fashioned Summoning Ritual. She is actually used to this and does not usually behave aggressively from being summoned.

Expectations from Lilith:

Most of the time, she is not actually antagonizing anyone specific. Her goal is Global Suffering, not poking at individuals. Her part in Haven is as a background monster, a bogey man, a scapegoat, a fairy tale villain to threaten children with. She is a vehicle for demonic influences in other characters. She is also a massive enabler for those willing to cause suffering.

Lilith is a demon. She does not care about your character, their feelings, their motivations, or their life, except with regards to how she can utilize them against said character in order to leverage those needs, wants, and desires in negotiations.

She is a demon. She is not nice. If she is nice, she probably wants something. The something is probably related to suffering.

Threatening her Shrines/Domain will literally call down the thunder. She does not care about threatening the people in those areas, just the integrity of her Domain.

Shit Lilith Says:

"When opportunity knocks, tear the door off the hinges and beat it over the head to make it stay long enough to take advantage."

"The internet and the Matrix are wonderful. I just came across a picture of a pair of boots... with a matching, detachable, leather harness... for attaching a dildo. My first thought upon seeing this glorious creation? 'These boots are made for fucking... and that's just what they'll do... and one of these days, these boots are gonna fuck the lot of you...'"

"God uses fire. I use lightning. I never figured out why the historians always get that backwards. I blame the Greeks."

"I am a good solution to a lot of the world's problems."

"In fairness, it makes you no worse really than the rest. The question really becomes, can you stand up from there. Is that terrible to say to someone missing a leg?"

"Puns are up to one point seven percent of the global average suffering level. I am quite certain this trend will continue."

"You keep second guessing me. You aren't very useful to me alive, are you boy?"

"Do you know what my favorite kind of suffering is? Hope. In medieval times, I could only snag smatterings of suffering from a random village. A broken arm here. Arthritis there. They had no hope. They had no use for it. The farmer's son becomes the farmer becomes the next farmer's dad. There was no mystery. There was no need of aspirations. Work the farm and you live. Simple. Now. Everyone has hope. They can be better. They can do anything. They can be anything. And nothing is as sweet as that constant hope. Against the odds. The suffering they inflict on themselves. And the internet just amplified it."

"Oh, I love the way things are now. It's demonic utopia, as far as I am concerned. Everyone so full of hope and freedom. They don't even realize that is one of their greatest reason for rampant suffering."
