Jester is an Original Character featured in the upcoming Original Story Dark Seraphs created by the User:Jester of chaos. It is going to be split into three parts and at this time I am unaware of when I will be able to make the episodes. Now that that part is done here is the character info.
History[]
Background[]
Jester was once a smart ass by the name of Mattius Longstreet, whom pissed off the king (allegedly, truth be told it was due to his practice in the Dark Arts being found out) and was beheaded for it. Little else is know of his mortal life but it was stated he started to learn the Dark Arts not simply for power but in hopes of saving his mother from a illness and he saw his sister murdered in front of him. He has stated his Demon mode is similar to his favorite doll he had as a child.
Not long after his death he went on to became a Demon instead of a mere soul damned to Hell due to another Demon urging him to let his heart fill with hate before passing on to the afterlife. Due to his final moments as a human soul being filled with hate and a desire for revenge he was able to become a Demon. Once he became one he returned the kingdom and destroyed it. Later he accidentally created the Bubonic plague aka black-death when he tried to change his hair color, though he thought it was funny and enjoyed the chaos it brought to the mortal world. Over the centuries he has remained friends with another Demon, Corvus the very Demon that helped Jester become a Demon himself, and each made a deal with a family to serve said family in return said Demon could stay in the mortal world. Later at some point both fell in love with the same mortal woman, young Russian woman by the name of Anastasia only for her to be murdered.
This made Jester desire power but not wish to rule the mortal world as he saw it too flawed and pointless to be worth ruling yet fun enough for causing chaos and mischief. Corvus currently serves nineteen year old Alexander Poe while Jester currently serves fourteen year old Jessica Rooks both of the masters living in Great Britain.
Part 1[]
Jester is first shown serving his master, Jessica Rooks, mansion as she asks him to draw her a bath only for Jester to respond by summoning a pin and paper to literally draw a bath. Annoyed Jessica asks what he's doing only for Jester to show a poorly drawn bath while smugly saying he's done with a grin. Deciding she'd have to be specific she tells him to start filling the tub at a temperature that's not too hot nor cold. Annoyed Jester does this all while complaining that Jessica can't take a joke. Once this is done Jester asks if she wants anything before he departs for the night to which Jessica asks if he can bring her a book on magic when he returns in the morning. Jester responds he will do his best and departs back to Hell. Once there both he and Corvus talk about how they can't wait to play poker in the next night. As the two joke around through the night they admit its best they head back to Earth as its about time to wake their masters up. Jester quickly summons a book he himself had written on a wide variety of magic and Seals before returning to his masters home.
Upon arriving there Jessica appears to be having a nightmare so Jester gently wakes her up telling her its okay and how it was all just a dream only for Jessica to say in tears it was her remembering how they first meet. Jester hands her a box of tissues and recalls that day.
The Flashback
To Jester it was a normal day of looking at potential masters so he could enter the mortal world without constantly having to fight Angels. He and Corvus had both broken the truce between Hell and Heaven long ago but now they were warned next time it happened both Heaven and Hell would retaliate. Jester didn't feel like having to deal with ignorant soldiers serving a tyrant with good publicity or cause a fight with his fellow Demon's since the sheer numbers were against him. Most humans would be easy to convince but were also so boring and greedy it wouldn't be much fun or worth it considering they were most likely going to Hell once they died anyway. However as it looked like another day with no suitable master he sensed a strange dormant power in the distance. Once he followed it he found it was coming from a mansion but the person was running away from someone. Jester had an unexplained urge to see what was going on so he stayed barely in the veil between dimensions only to see a girl no older than nine with blond hair wearing a dark grey night dress crying as she fell to the ground pleading with some man who was in his early to mid thirties with bleach blond hair, a thin well trimmed mustache in a suite and long-coat as he approached the girl. Even from the veil he could hear as they spoke:
- The Man: Jessica stop this foolishness! I understand what you are going through. After all you are my niece and it was my brother who died in that "tragic accident" the other day along with your poor mother. I just want to reunite you with them after all.
- Jessica: Please uncle leave me be! I don't want to die! I know you wanted their money but please I just want to live!
- The Man: *Laughing* With you gone I'll be the sole beneficiary to the family fortune! Accept your fate and be reunited with your poor parents! You'd be nothing but a waist of money if I took you in or worse if I had to share the inheritance! No I'm just going to kill you and hide you in a place no one will ever find you!
- Jessica: Please no! I don't want to die! Please anyone!
- The Man: No one is going to help you, so just stop your crying and begging its giving me a headache! Give my regards to your parents when you see them!
Jester couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. She apparently just lost her parents and now some pathetic greedy bastard was going to kill his niece for some petty cash?! The worse part is the Angels let this type of thing happen constantly yet acted like they were these noble creatures, yes Demons are vile and murderous creatures but at least they admitted it and were public about how vile they were. Jester realizing time was running out formed a circle of green flames around the young girl and from the veil let his voice be heard.
- Jester: I know you can hear me now, I am your only chance to survive but in order for this to happen we must form a 'Blood-Line contract' so that I may enter your dimension. Do we have a deal?
- Jessica: *Wiping away a few tears* Can you really save me? If so I accept.
- Jester: Yes, I can save you. Now choose where you want the Seal?
- Jessica: What do you mean by "Seal"?
- Jester: I mean the mark to seal our contract. I will be able to freely appear and use my powers in your dimension in return I will protect and serve you and your future children. Try to pick a place that isn't too open but a place where you can reach if needed.
- Jessica: I guess my left shoulder?
- Jester: Okay I need you to shake my hand to symbolize it thus allowing me to enter your world. *Inserting his hand into our world*
- Jessica: Fine but please hurry the fire is going down! *Shakes hand*
The fire goes down completely only for a young man with red hair and glowing eyes to appear right in front of the young girl. The man gets on one knee an places a hand on the girls left shoulder with green flames making a strange symbol. The girl looks scared and helpless but feels a friendly hand pat her head as if to re-assure her everything will be OK before the figure turns towards the girls uncle.
- The Man: What the hell? Who are you and what do you want?
- Jester: I am your worse nightmares you piece of shit! You think your so tough attacking a defenseless little girl but now I think it's time I take out the trash. I will make both Heaven and Hell see horrors that before were unheard of. When I'm done with you eternal damnation will seem as if it were winning the lottery. *The man pulls out a .44 magnum from a holster under his coat and shoots Jester in the head*
- The Man: Trying to monologue isn't the smartest thing to do when I have gun this powerful! Granted the idiot didn't even realize I had a gun. By the way a gun is too good for you my "precious" niece instead I think a knife is more fitting for you! *Pulls out a William Henry Spearpoint Patriot pocket knife*
*Jester's body all of a sudden gets off the ground and tackles Jessica's uncle*
- Jester: You thought I could be killed so easy? And I must say that you have expensive tastes considering your knife. Now my only question is how should I kill you? Burning could be fun but so obvious, I could drown you but it might be mistaken as a baptism. Maybe I should just beat you to death. How does that sound Jess... *The uncle stabs Jester in the stomach* How rude of you I guess I need to teach you some manners. Nah I'll bury you alive.
- The Man: Impossible! What are you?! Please spare me! I'll pay you whatever you want just let me live!
- Jester: To answer your question I'm a Demon, a level 7 one at that making me essentially a demigod. And no, you will die for being such a pathetic low life! See you in Hell.
With that Jester decided the man was too pathetic to waist the effort and simply broke his neck. Once done Jester approached the girl. All of a sudden the girl hugged Jester and thanked him for saving her.
- Jessica: Thank you for saving me! I thought for sure I was going to die but you saved me. By the way I didn't catch your name.
- Jester: You are welcome and the reason you didn't catch my name is I never gave it. I prefer to not give my name right away. However given I will serve you until you pass from this world I guess I might as well introduce myself: I am the 'Jester of Chaos, a Duke of Hell, the horseman of Pestilence, and the infamous Pied Piper' but you may call me Jester if you wish Jessica.
- Jessica: Okay then Jester it is. May I ask two questions? How did you know my name and am I going to Hell when I die?
- Jester: I overheard your uncle say Jessica and assumed that was you since no one else was around. As for Hell I can chose what to do with your soul once you pass. I can eat it to gain more power, have it sent to Hell where I can torture you forever or even ban it from Hell altogether though that only happens if I actually like you as a person but lets worry about that somewhere down the road. Whats your last name by the way I'm curious.
- Jessica: My Last name is Rooks. Thanks again Jester.
End of Flashback
Jester upon recalling that day hugged Jessica and reassured her that as long as he existed he would protect her from those who would try to harm her. Once Jessica seemed OK Jester decided to cook her breakfast and that today since it marked the fifth anniversary of their meeting he wouldn't cause her much annoyance.
Appearance[]
His appearance is a young skinny man with messy red hair and pale skin. In public he wears a black suit with red dress shirt unbuttoned at the top for his job (with its sales tag still attached) and black dress shoes, Gothic vacation cloths or punk like clothing when not in his suit. He has black studded earrings in human form. As he is starting the apocalypse and even during it he decides to wear a black bow tie and top hat while occasionally walking with a cane with a skull ornament at the top.
Alternate Forms[]
Jester's Demon form
- Jester's Demon form: Unlike Corvus, Jester takes a more inhuman form presumably due to his chaotic nature. He appears to be fairly muscular male, a noticeable gap between his neck and head to symbolize how he died, his head featuring no hair with facial expression being similar to a comedy and drama mask that somewhat echo's whenever it moves and he speaks, with a Jesters hat made of green flames and souls of those he consumes. His arms are unnaturally long for this form with his right arm and chest are simply red while his left arm is multicolored, his legs are large black and blue that appear beast-like. Due to his death being near painless he has no problem when he takes this form due to the increase in his already great power. This form is even harder to kill and he has complete control over his body and its properties. In this form he is care free, genuinely likable and calm while still somewhat chaotic but the lesser of Him and Corvus in their Demon forms. In this cartoonish and inhuman form he recalls all his mortal life's memories and how this resembles a doll he had as a small child.
Mattius the Collector
- Jester's Rage Mode aka Mattius the Collector: This form is his rarest and ultimately due to his hate finally reaching its breaking point gaining this new Demon form as a result. This form he is dubbed Mattius the Collector by himself and Corvus due to his drastic change both in personality and power. His face in this form appears to be a drama mask with long spiky red hair, black robe like "cloth" over most of his "flesh" which pure white and his exposed chest with a couple of mouths spread as part. This form has none of his playful personality or obsession of power just a desire for revenge and destruction. He is just a cynical, depressed Demon consumed with hate for all around him. This mentioned his nihilism not only increases to the point that he is willing to destroy large populated areas if need be but so does his sadism. As he fights the Angel that killed Grace he brutally tortures and mutilates it by not only ripping of its wings and beating him into the ground but squeezing it's very soul before ultimately crushing it. The power of this form is his shape shifting is at the absolute and vast magical abilities to the point he is an easy level 8 Demon to a degree even Corvus admits this is a power that is a rival to his Demon form and is almost Godlike and nearly unstoppable. Despite the name he can presumably enter this form regardless of his emotions though he gained it originally through rage.
Personality[]
Most of the time he is seen as a rude smartass who enjoys provoking others especially Alexander Poe and Angels commonly through embarrassing or making blasphemous comments. He sees both Corvus and himself as Gods but sees it as a competition between the two to see who can become a level 9 Demon to obtain true Godhood. He seems to be prone to hold grudges as he hates Alexander not for trying to kill him but putting Corvus through so much pain simply to kill him. He also seems to suffer from nihilism as he sees his life and most others lives as meaningless. He claims as a human he feared death but due to being around so long he no longer fears dying.
He makes it very clear early on he hates God for multiple reasons including making him an immortal who must serve others to enter Earth, having both of the women he's loved murdered and creating a cruel world full of evil. However despite normally being rude he can and will be charming when he needs or want to be. He flirts often but makes sure they know he doesn't want anything serious from them. Deep down he has a softer and kinder side but only four know this to be true; Corvus, Anastasia, Grace and Jessica herself. While he doesn't always show it he cares for Jessica and plans to ban her soul from Hell so she won't suffer it's tortures. It is implied his God-Complex might be a way he is coping with the death of Anastasia as he saw her as a Goddess due to her kindness, intelligence, beauty and her singing voice loved by many. He despite often being told he is a pervert, when he cares for females such as Anastasia and Grace, he is shown to be respectful, protective and loyal to them as shown by waiting over sixty years after Anastasia died before even trying to move on.
Once he secures that Anastasia's soul is no longer on Earth or in the mortal universe both he and Satan-Corvus are shown that like most Demons they view the upcoming apocalypse as little more then a game. That said despite a small group of Demons that admire him and are truly loyal to him, most Demons serve him out of fear and due to his high power status in Hell's ranks. He is also considered insane, sadistic, even violent by the vast majority of Demons. He actually embraces this though he does have some standards as he warns even his fellow Demons to never rape people or else they'd cross the line far enough he'd kill them without a second thought. Another trait is he hates the concept of genocide as he believes it unfair. In fact he points out he prefers omnicide as he states he refuses to persecute any group by singling them out but attack everyone so its "fair". He is seen by some as a scholar or teacher in Hell due to teaching them most of what they know in both magic and natural abilities of a Demon.
With Grace he is shown almost desperate to earn her love to the point he tried to change personalities under some advise by Corvus who warned him most people wouldn't like his openly dirty comments and sociopathic nature. He is shown sadistic to mere mortal and beings weaker than him as often his pranks cause some minor to severe pain to humans but very painful and somewhat slow deaths when he decides to end a creatures existence all together. He also seems to either purposely lie for fun or just to keep it all in mystery when it comes to details of his past or specifics to how he plans to gain power. He seems to enjoy being a Demon for the most part and showing off his power. He doesn't believe in government or restrictions believing everyone should simply make their own personal codes and standards but free to do whatever makes them happy. That said he has a personal code claiming while he has no problem with violence he frowns upon and would kill any rapist he comes across. He seems to believe in Social Darwinism to some degree as he believes the strongest will lead the universe to it's ultimate destiny and should be in charge of reality.
Despite being rather homicidal and seeing nearly every crime he commits as a cruel joke he shows a fiercely protective side when people he loves are harmed or threatened. When an Angel killed Grace, Jester brutally murders the being in a slow fashion, when Alexander pushed Jessica he gave a quick warning in a serious fashion and proceeded to break Alexander's arm when he approached her with a hateful tone, and was shown to brutally beat a man when he stalked and harassed Anastasia. Like stated before he is also protective of his close friend Corvus and ultimately desired to allow him to regain his motivation along with original personality because as Corvus became Satan-Corvus he was slowly stripped of his motivation and personality. Due to this Jester went out of his way to ensure his friend could regain his personality yet retain his near omnipotent abilities. He is said to be a big fan of cats and dogs to the point at times he would go out of the way to make sure they were getting something to eat.
Intelligence[]
While often rude he has shown himself to be an expert in the occult especially dark magic. He has studied and mastered the Dark Arts before even becoming a Demon and is trying to find out how to steal souls to increase his powers even further despite knowing the dangers. He will apply and master every step before moving on to the next phase of his plans. Of the Demons he is arguably one of the most knowledgeable in the sense of their powers and the occult to the point he is seen by some akin to a master and teacher of both to other Demons. He is a cunning individual who can notice most opportunities as they arise.
He was also the first to realize the Demon God was not just composed of all mortal sins but immortals as well including God's which was big surprise to nearly all mortal and immortals presents. He is a master on Seals second only to God to the point he was allowed into Heaven on the grounds of fixing the Seal on the level 9 demon and to take a book on Seals (He also stole all of the other books on Seals and Heaven's only book on the Dark Arts). He will keep his word but will if he wants only to the letter as once he cleverly pointed out he once said he "wouldn't steal from and flip off God" so he only stole from him thus technically kept his word. Despite all this he isn't a genius in the mortal worlds sense of science and will purposely break the laws of physics merely to mess with mortals. Despite his high intelligence in the Dark Arts and manipulation skills he isn't beyond over looking details such as how far he pushes his enemies and people overall or how they might over react to his pranks and overall personality.
Goals[]
He desires absolute power and for Anastasia to be returned as an Angel or immortal being and will stop at nearly nothing to achieve this, even willing to sacrifice the majority on Earth if it was necessary to obtain said goals, only the women he cares for and Corvus have a possibility to talk him out of his schemes. But he will save the Earth only out of her memory and if completely destroyed it would take away any chance for her return to the mortal realm. If he got absolute power he would cause the universe to be thrown into absolute chaos and resurrect Anastasia as an immortal Angel knowing she wouldn't be like the others on blindly following orders. Later he finds out that apparently it's possible to resurrect Grace, Jester becomes dedicated and searches for anyway to revive her, break the laws of magic, free Corvus of the spiritual law/curse made that eventually gets rid of all his personality rendering him "boring" set up by the true Supreme Being of all universes, and cause the apocalypse so he can remake a universe to rule as a God.
Powers[]
His power level for the start is a level 7 almost level 8 Demon which is equivalent to a demigod, level 9 which is virtual Godhood. He like all Demons is ageless, high speed regenerative and self sustaining creature however being a level 7 his healing and superhuman attributes far surpass lower level Demons. Like all Demons any mortal weapon is useless if it isn't blessed by supernatural means and are very durable to damage. In human form he can control the natural elements to a degree and generate fire at will. Along with controlling fire he can control darkness and warp reality to a degree such as walking up walls, summoning weapons and changing minor things such as images to fit his desire. He can also teleport to anywhere in Hell or Earth.
Due to mastering the Dark Arts he can use necromancy to its fullest: raising corpses or later insert souls though he can't reform souls that have been destroyed as it is seemingly impossible. The Dark Arts also let him heal others, create plagues, increase his abilities, his physical strength for a limited time, use telekinesis, summoning of objects and lower Demons. He later performs a ritual that allows him to absorb any mortal soul that lacks a physical form on Earth, able to switch souls/bodies of himself and others but retain any supernatural abilities, make weaker clones that share a mind, turn temporarily invisible, limited mind control, the ability to embed souls into other objects while forcing it to follow his orders and increase his magic to a unknown degree. With these after attaining his rage mode he is an official level 8 Demon.
Like all Demons provided his contract is kept to the best of his ability, his soul when sent to Hell it won't be tortured and remain a Demon soul (if their contract isn't honored their soul is reverted to a human and tortured in Hell upon returning to it). Demon body's reform within 24 hours after destruction in Hell provided their soul isn't destroyed in the process. From 12am - 6am Demons are free to do whatever they want in Hell or Earth. Among his abilities he has become a master in the Dark Arts, Chaos Magic along with various other types in his attempts for ultimate power, he uses the souls he consumes, having stored a large amount of magic and often symbols or Seals so he can use practically any form of magic seemingly without limit and no draining effects that normally happens when a character uses magic.
Seals are something created not only from mystical energy but can be formed from a casters soul (though given time and the casters soul will regenerate), these are symbols that can protect people or objects from certain types of harm such as low level Demons, keep certain things trapped or locked or do the exact opposite and release something. The amount of energy needed to cancel or activate varies depending on the strength required. Unlike most forms of magic in a sense it can go on for an indefinite amount of time and can be easily recreated if not completely destroyed though often slightly weaker than before. They also don't require anything than concentration and a hand gestures. His Demon form has all these powers to a higher degree and can warp his body in any way he desires. Now his Rage mode he not only does he have his shape shifting go to the absolute but his already vast power skyrockets to near Godlike power where even Corvus claims it might be able to rival God.
Even though he knows Corvus' true power surpasses his and will most likely obtain Godhood before him, he refuses to stop his pursuit of it and claims even if it take eternity then one day he will gain ultimate power and truly become Corvus' equal should Corvus obtains it first. The only two he doesn't lie to or hide info from is Jessica Rooks both out of respect and contract and Corvus though he will leave out some info with both if he feels it could risk failure if they know the whole truth. That said he hardly if ever lied to Anastasia and Grace but he did leave out some information in attempt to protect them from harm.
Weaknesses[]
While Jester is a very powerful Demon and immune to any conventional means of killing he has a few key weaknesses. While no mere mortal weapon can harm him any enchanted weapon and magic based attacks can cause him actual harm and even death if they fatally wound his soul. His ego also tends to make him underestimate his opponents and overlook some facts. Though he appears to be able to seemingly overcome the draining effect of magic it is through saving up magic over the centuries and using the souls of previous masters to rejuvenate his own energy thus if he were forced to use all said souls he would become exhausted and unable to perform his magic attacks at their full potential as a result. When pushed far enough Jester is shown to be reckless and even more destructive to the point even if at his strongest he won't hesitate to use any form of attack even when it would be smarter to preserve as much energy as possible in case of it being a long battle.
Relationships[]
Friends[]
Corvus - The two are close friends who see one another as equals and friendly rivals. Jester can't stand to see Corvus in pain and treats him with the utmost respect though not above teasing him occasionally. He is one of the only people Jester will listen to or take advise from. Both are seen treating most interactions as mere competitions and enjoy causing chaos to mortals to the point both have started multiple wars to kill their boredom or cause pointless destruction all while complimenting each other on how much the other caused if not bragging they could do worse. They consider each other best friends and even share a brother like bond.
Lu Bu - As a ruler of Hell they get along well and Lu Bu hasn't done much to stop Jester's pursuit of absolute power. The both respect one another and are gambling buddies but knows better then trust Jester at playing fair. Despite their respect they often butt heads due to the fact Jester couldn't care less for his orders if they conflict with his agenda. It reaches the ultimatum when Jester gives Grace eternal youth which since WWII has been forbidden and thus moves to banish him from Hell and made his soul very vulnerable to supernatural creatures should his body be destroyed. Lu Bu was furious when this ban is later lifted by Satan-Corvus. After being able to return to Hell their friendship seems to be strained as while occasionally friendly to one another Lu Bu was more than willing to hunt down Jester and have him killed should he cause a massive disaster or Satan-Corvus be absent.
Pharaoh - Like Lu Bu, Pharaoh is a ruler of Hell and Gambling buddy of Jester and Corvus though he often bets past slaves which mostly he puts up Jewish people due to not worshiping him in life much to the others annoyance. He has assigned Jester to repair the weakening Seal for the Demon God. Jester and Corvus also praise him when he appears because he has "style". Despite their friendship he seconds Lu Bu's proposal to banish his soul from Hell due to breaking a major rule that Hell holds dear. Overall he is laid back and doesn't seem to mind when Corvus obtains absolute authority in Hell and title of Satan and allows Jester back into Hell. Pharaoh is held in high regards by Jester also in regards to magic to the point he claims that Pharaoh is the strongest and most knowledgeable magic user that has ever existed to the point he's one of the few Jester himself wouldn't want to fight. Due to having a loved one killed by having their soul destroyed Pharaoh sympathizes with Jester and even secretly helps Jester speed up Armageddon so as to break all restraints so that they could revive their loved ones. Unlike Lu Bu the friendship is never strained and they remain good friends to the end of the series.
Thanatos - Has a friendly relationship to the point before Jester's banishment from Hell he helped restore his soul to health when Icarus-Corvus was forced by Alexander's orders. While in Purgatory Thanatos is shown to be nearly omnipresent and seemingly all-seeing. He is shown to be hardworking, understanding, and laid back towards all supernatural being. This and he carries one of every mythical / extinct creatures into Purgatory since he loves every creature. Since Jester stole from Purgatory their relationship was somewhat strained and Thanatos shows a bit of hostility both considered one another friends. Jester's murderous nature often annoyed Thanatos due to it meaning he had more souls than needed coming in to be sorted out and Jester's attempts to speed up Armageddon to break down all laws of magic caused Thanatos non-stop annoyance since he didn't want to deal with so many souls along with his already large quantity of to be judge and sorted souls.
Jessica Rooks - While he might purposely embarrass her or annoy her he showed he cared for her by offering to save and protect her when she was almost killed by her uncle but needed to make a contract with her to do so and later broke Alexander Poe's arm out of his free will once Poe tried to put a hand on her when angered that she defended Jester. He has said when asked what he planned to do with her soul when it comes time to collect it that he would set it free meaning banishing it from Hell where it won't endure it's tortures. She has shown in her own way to value him as following his request of "vacation time" to search for his Anastasia's soul and not to make him attack Corvus. Jester states he looks at her like a sister. Jester is more forgiving of her than Alexander when he learned she only undid a minor Seal on a padlock that helped seal Corvus as Icarus during the Halloween incident killing over 100,000 people when Icarus destroyed part of if not all of Spain. Another fact to emphasize his compassion towards her was he has taught her about Seals on both making and canceling to help protect her from harm along with most forms of magic. As Jessica grew older Jester is shown to have helped her become Prime Minister in Britain though they tend to focus on wars. He has proudly called her his little Warmonger and Horseman of War. He also has helped her when she admitted she was afraid of dying by helping her learn how to make a Soul-Jar and in her attempts to take over the world. Even as Jessica is starting to slowly loose her mind Jester is shown trying to have her keep her sanity. Heartbreaking enough when she finally looses it Jester himself starts to have delusions and hallucinates that she's back to normal with tears in his eyes. He then angrily breaks down when Gilgamesh ultimately kills her for good and launches a full assault on the Angel for it.
Eleanor and Elizabeth - Jester is shown to be genuinely nice and caring towards Jessica's twin daughters as he goes out of his way to protect them when they are in danger, teaches them magic and puts Seals on them so they can't be harmed by each others basic magic yet where if in danger they can cast minor explosions that the Seals can prevent the debris from hitting them and where if they need help they can contact him immediately. He acts as an Uncle like figure whom supposedly during the apocalypse made sure they were safe by making them a castle. Even after the apocalypse they are shown to be healthy though saddened by what happened to their uncle and mother.
Love Interests[]
Anastasia - Little is known except she was a Russian opera singer who loved her country and people who died shortly before World War II and not the one from the royal family. She was considered a great singer and beautiful young lady who was kind to all she knew. She made it clear she loved both Corvus and Jester but couldn't or wouldn't chose one to be with and decided to just treat them both as close friends. Even in her last breaths after being fatally wounded she asked Corvus and Jester to look out for one another and protect Russia. She is unique in a few ways 1. Being true friends with two high level Demons who did things for her completely free. 2. Having a virtuous soul and her soul being secretly taken to be used as a power source to break the Seal of the Demon God by a rouge Angel who resides in Purgatory.
Grace - This is the second woman Jester has ever actually fallen in love with. She seemed to be annoyed and impatient with Jester when he tried to portray himself as a kind gentlemen (With very little success) but became more open towards dating Jester when he started to show his normal smart ass personality. Even after realizing Jester was a Demon and his confessions of his atrocities and she still grew to love him in a short amount of time and ultimately sacrificed herself to save Jester from a fatal wound to his body and soul despite him asking her to stay away for her safety. As she died she gave Jester a smile and kiss before saying she loved him. Jester told her he loved her and he wished he was the one about to die. Ultimately she is the one who's death pushed Jester beyond the breaking point and into his Rage mode aka Mattius the Collector. Once she is gone Jester is shown to often remember their times together revealing that when around one another he was far less violent and murderous while she was shown to have a softer and more caring side to the point he cherished the gift she got him (a squeaky key-chain) above any other material possession. She was one of the major reason Jester wanted to break down the magical laws so he could become borderline omnipotent and revive her soul. In his brief time in the City of the Dead (where destroyed souls go though they have little to no memory and the "living" souls can only stay for a short amount of time) he became oddly cheerful upon seeing her and attempted to hug her. Even with most if not all her memories gone she smiled and waved at Jester as he was forced to leave the dimension.
Former Masters[]
Joseph Stalin - He only served as to protect Russia but Jester has said he will never bet his soul as he's still "digesting" and never plans to stop meaning he's created a personal Hell inside his body. This implies he grew to deeply hate Stalin over his time as a servant to him.
Enemies[]
Alexander Poe - At first he only desired to embarrass him and cause very minor pain to him but since Alexander put Corvus through unimaginable amount of pain simply to kill Jester, he has grown to hate him and resolved make every moment a living Hell till Alexander finally dies and belongs to Corvus. He also shows no hesitation breaking Alexander's arm after he put one and or attempts to put one on Jessica in the blink of an eye. Since Alexander doesn't appear after Part 1 and dialog indicates he's dead its highly doubtful Jester ever grew to respect him since he often used insulting dialog about him both during his life and afterwards but since Jester generally insults everyone its possible he no longer hated him.
God - Jester makes it clear he hates God for taking the women he loved and forcing Demons to serve mortals to remain in the world without being relentlessly hunted down. He sees him as simply a powerful egomaniac. He only grows to agree with this more upon finding out why he sealed the Demon God away with another Seal causing it nonstop agony to begin with: This was because God himself had a fear of dying and no longer being the most powerful being in the universe. Once it is revealed God wasn't the true Supreme Being Jester found a way for another person to take his place as ruler of Heaven. With that Jester caused him to lose almost all his power and berated him. A few others have called God by other names like Yahweh, Jehovah, The Almighty but its unlikely anyone knows his true name and when not just insulting him, Jester would call him God solely because everyone knew who he was addressing.
Demon God - Jester at first just fears it due to the amount of power it wields but ultimately despite wanting to reseal it Jester gains sympathy and pity for it due to realizing it was now a threat to the universe due to its feral mind, desire for freedom and possibly revenge on God for sealing it away simply due to personal fear.
Gilgamesh - Despite him being a "Angel" Jester says he respects him due to not blindly following Gods orders but his very soul and being a legendary hero. However Jester found a secret book apparently claiming he once tried to preform a resurrection spell (a taboo act and ultimately a form of necromancy). However Jester claims there are no such things as true perfect hero's but Gilgamesh is the closet equivalent. That said he is older then even Angels and technically a 'Hero': A supernatural being that existed before Angels were officially created though Jester just likes to call him an Angel due to being a spirit warrior. That said in the end they both fought one another to the death since Jester's plans involved causing untold destruction and a threat to reality itself.
Humanity - For the most part he has a very low opinion and see's them as little more then a way to obtain power and playthings for his amusement. That being said he doesn't usually plan on enslaving them or exterminating them but rather watch how they react to his mischief and occasionally kill if angered to a certain point. Later he does seem to desire to be worshiped and maybe even rule the survivors of the apocalypse but it's a little vague if he actually wants to rule firsthand or just remake reality and rule from behind the scenes.
Angels - He taunts and provokes them as he see's them as soldiers who blindly follow orders. Despite this they have an uneasy truce to keep the Demon God Sealed away and they have let him into Heaven to research on how to fix the Seal and take one Seal book (stole the rest and the only book they had on the Dark Arts). He however isn't beyond asking them to see if the soul of Anastasia was in Heaven. He also believes if said woman was an Angel she would be different on following orders. He later grows to hate them more due to one in an attempt to kill him ultimately kills the newest woman he came to love in cold blood while dealing a fatal wound to her soul when she saved Jester's life much to his dismay.
Dillon Rooks - While not a person he's out to kill or anything too serious he is a person whom Jester was shown to insult due to causing him annoyance. Dillon refused to learn magic, often went around complaining that "no one understands" to his family to the point Jester considered him an annoyance more often than not.
Douglas - At first Jester saw Douglas as a mere pawn for his goals and made it clear he wanted his help figuring the individual would be able to play a part and then could be either disposed of or left with a small gift for his part though Jester never figured Douglas would use him as well. At first it seemed like all was working itself out smoothly with Jester at times giving some spells to Douglas as a reward but eventually Douglas was able to threaten Jester enough to where Douglas was seemingly in charge. Jester removed a page from the Black Book hoping it would prevent Douglas from having too much power over Satan-Corvus and merely asking it to be Halloween forever in hopes of having Satan-Corvus return to his original personality. However Douglas afterwards betrayed Jester and told Corvus to kill Jester and the Rooks family. When Jester seemingly loses all his demonic powers and forced to ask Douglas to merely spare the Rooks Douglas refused. When Jester finally is able to trick Douglas to opening a gate believed to lead to absolute power and knowledge, in a moment of distraction was able to steal the book and enter the gate. There it turned out it lead to the true Supreme Being whom answered Jesters questions and told him he needed to leave or Corvus would die due to his life being drained to form the Gate. Once there Douglas pleads for mercy before being dragged into a place said to be even worse than Hell. Jester saw Douglas by the end as nothing short of a vile person even by his standards.
Pope Urban II - While both rarely interact Jester has made it clear he can't stand the man the guy for being both genocidal and a fanatic. Even when Pope Urban II shows up to gamble due to being friends with Lu Bu Jester mocks and berates him. Not much else is known besides the fact they share a mutual lust for power and hatred towards the other.
Possible Quotes[]
"Come on Corvus, we are basically Gods and should I obtain my wish we can have her returned to us! I refuse to bow before a hypocritical prick when I know one day I will or can surpass him. Let's face it even if they kill me I win as this meaningless existence of mine would finally come to an end. Just think of what this universe will be like when I'm done remolding it into my image! All reality will be in a state of eternal chaos." |
"Look this world is a cruel and merciless place where bastards like myself thrive as we steal and murder to our hearts content! This is a fact none of us can change as sad as it might seem... You want to know the funny thing? Normal criminals who don't even know magic exists often don't get punished because of your pathetic, second rate justice system that is so obsessed with upholding Order! You fail to realize Chaos is the true natural state of the universe and that its the only thing that is truly fair! It has no pattern! With it and anarchy you would make your own personal rules with nothing holding you back but you refuse to open your eyes and see the truth! Instead you hold onto a pathetic fantasy regardless of the facts before you. Humanity is such an ignorant species as a whole to the point most of you are only good for my own amusement." |
"You want to know something funny about the Bubonic Plague aka the Black Death? Well I was trying to change my hair color to black but *chuckles* instead their skin started to get black patches! It was one of my greatest accomplishments in all honesty." |
"Let me set something straight before you mortals get the wrong idea: I hate nearly everyone equally! I don't care what the color or sex you are. I don't care if you are human, an Angel or even a Demon if I feel bored I will kill you regardless! That's why I hate genocide; its unfair. Now omnicide on the other hand I'm rather fond of because it is fair because I am NOT signally anyone out. HA HA HA HA!" |
"Lay a hand on Jessica and I'll break your fucking arm Poe! This is me being nice and giving you one damn warning: Never mess with her or else!" |
"Yes all the stories you heard about me being violent, insane and sadistic even by most Demons standards are 100% true. In fact I pride myself in being the bastard I am and take those things as compliments. However before we enjoy our upcoming apocalypse I have one rule: Don't sexually assault anyone! The last Demon I found that committed that act was slowly torn apart by me. It is really one of the only major crimes even I find vile and too depraved for anyone to do! Kill and torture to your hearts content but remember my warning as I won't be merciful if you break that one rule. Break that rule and I will see to it that you cease to exist. Now that you know the rules: lets go party by tearing the world apart!" |
"You know when I was a mere mortal I feared death, of fading away but now that I've lived many lifetimes with all the time in the world I no longer fear oblivion! Most people especially immortals like Demons and Angels fear death! While they cower and tremble in the face of death I embrace it! Unlike the others I don't cling to life especially when I suffer nonstop! I lost every woman I ever loved! Denied my dreams! Forced to serve mortals just to remain in the mortal universe without being attacked by Angels! Even if one of my loves got reborn I know I don't deserve her and am aware she most likely won't say it aloud or choose either me or Corvus. As long as the few people I care for are happy then I'll have no regrets! After all I have spread chaos, educated my fellow Demons on their capabilities, and wrote multiple books about the Dark Arts and Seals! I lived a full life even if I never got to enjoy love and what most take for granted." |
"You see people always wish to turn back the hands of time but either overlook or worse ignore the most obvious fact: It's impossible. You see even if you were able to change any event in history the best you can hope for is that it creates an alternate reality where that particular event never occurred. The reality in which you exist could never be altered due to the paradoxes of if that event never happened then you wouldn't of altered the time stream to prevent it so time would reset itself to how it originally was. As a result you still live exactly as you were but in an alternate reality that version of you would get all the benefit without even realizing it. Granted not only would it require a immeasurable amount of raw power to turn back even a few moments let alone days, years, or centuries but also an indomitable will to concentrate to ensure you change the correct moment. I must admit I have thought of doing this particular type of magic but realize not only would that alternate version of Grace never forgive me or herself if she couldn't protect me but that I also most likely lack a strong enough will to defy the fabric of time itself. It's a interesting fairy tale but a fairy tale regardless. It would be easier to rewrite realities laws and to restore souls sealed in the City of the Dead, that is part of both the what and why I plan to do the later with my upcoming apocalypse." |
"At the end of the day humanity wants to paint this world as black and white. The winner is considered righteous while the loser of a conflict gets their name run through the mud and dubbed evil. Granted occasionally humanity will look back and actually change their mind but rarely do they acknowledge it. For example Native Americans where driven from their land, forced to relocate or be slaughtered yet instead of being treated like an atrocity people either treat it as a minor thing or try to justify it. Then you have the Salem witch trials were innocent people were killed due to petty, intolerant and self-righteous individual either out of sheer intolerance or greed. Guess what? Sure I commit some atrocities myself now but that's because I realize all that matters in this world is the power one wields and to ensure you have enough to protect those you care for. Everything else is some half-baked delusion that tries to hold you back. Live by your own code and be free of all else! The only limit anyone should have is the same limit to ones actual power. That is why my ultimate destiny is to be the wielder of absolute power and to make a new, truly free and chaotic universe to replace this one that has so many different limitations!" |
