Hey,
I'm female and I live in Australia, so I'll be on at all sorts of strange hours. I'm an experienced insomniac, but my spelling tends to go down the tube when I'm tired. I am also totally random and weird, because who wants to be normal?

IC Info
Name: Persephone St Claire
Nicknames/Aliases: She allows people to call her Poppy. Poppyseed is, after all, a sedative and addictive substance in the right doses.
Age: Few centuries, the exact figure is unknown.
Gender: Female
Species: Demon
Group: (optional)
Rank: (if in a group, desired rank. requires approval of group leader.)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 110 lb
Date of Birth: n/a
Astrological sign: n/a
Sexuality: Straight (but may pretend to be other wise for fun)
Martial Status: single
Nationality: English
Languages spoken: English, Greek.
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Distinctive Markings: A small black star tattoo on her left foot.
Face Claim: Scarlett Johanson
Powers/Abilities:
Shadow: Persephone is able to melt into the shadows. As long as there is a shadow around that is about her size she can hide in it. When in use this power allows her to sort of 'transport' from shadow to shadow, allowing her to move at near incredible speeds. She is almost completely undetectable to the eye when using this power.
Silence: When she wills it, Persephone is able to make her self completely silent. No noise at all can be heard from her when this power is in use. She could shout her lungs out in a crowded room and no-one would know. This power cannot be used in conjunction to Shadow.
Mesmerize: This is not hypnotism exactly, more a form of powerful influence. Persephone's power to make almost anyone do what she wants is very subtle, she does it quite smoothly and the subject will hardly even notice it. They will consider almost everything she says a very good idea, and act accordingly, the subject will also be sympathetic to pretty much every cause she is (or appears to be) sympathetic to. However, there are limits, this will not work on angels and she can't make someone do something that is totally outside their nature. For instance, she cannot drive someone to suicide if they would not, under any circumstances, kill themselves. She uses this power more than any other.
Weaponry: Persephone will never enter a fight unless truly cornered, if that happens then she will usually use her strength and speed.
Appearance:
Persephone looks like and angel, which is a shame because she is about as far as you could get.
Her long pale blonde hair falls almost to her waist and she has devised endless ways to keep it up and out of the way as prettily as possible, but will have it down if the mood takes her.
She had large, expressive blue-green eyes that are framed by dark lashes which almost never need mascara.
Her skin is pure peaches-and-cream porcelain and she hardly ever wears makeup.
Her figure is slim yet womanly and she know just how to dress it to the best advantage.
Her attire almost completely depends on where she is and who she is with, but mostly she has two looks. One is her innocent look, which includes lots of white or pastels, lace and gauze. She wears this look when she is around humans or even out, she likes it because it emphasizes her angelic appearance.
Her second look is when she is alone or only surrounded by her fellow demons and such. This is the one that reflects her true nature usually consisting of red and black. She prefers her demonic outfits but uses the innocent ones more often.
There is always the faint scent of jasmine on her skin, hair and breath.
In her demon form, Persephone looks very like a large snake, apart from the goat horns and jet black scales that resound with a thousand different colours. Some might consider this form to be beautiful, she quite likes the sinuous feeling herself. Her demon form measures about eight feet.
Personality:
Much like her attire, Poppy's personality seems to change almost constantly. That is because her true nature hardly ever comes out, she is almost always pretending to be someone or something else. She thrives on lies, they make up most of her being, yet she always keeps a handle on the truth in her own mind. She is excellent at acting can convince even the most skilled human lie detector. She delights in confusing people and pretending to be the innocent young girl who stumbled into the wrong club, simply because it is so contrary to her true nature. She is pretty much a compulsive liar, but does it so convincingly that people usually take it as the gospel truth. One quirk of hers is that she will never swear to something that is false, if the words "I swear" pass her lips then what she is saying is true. Any other words like "honestly" or "truly"? She will wield them like swords, but "I swear" is the phrase that binds her and the only way to distinguish lies from truth. She has forgotten why, something about not laying it on too thick, but regardless, centuries old habits die very hard.
She can read people like books and will always conform her personality to what they like. She is basically the ultimate people pleaser, if you hate something, she detests it, if you like something, she adores it, if you've got troubles, she'll do anything to help you... for a price.
Don't ever get Persephone mad. She won't show it, but you'd find out sooner rather than later. She doesn't get into fights, she runs then gets revenge. Her anger is as cold as ice, but very powerful ans subtle. She adores playing mind games, freaking people out is a delight, and if they had it coming it's even better. Needless to say she is very sadistic, not physically, but she very much enjoys people's emotional pain. For her the greatest game in the world is pretending to love someone, then backing off, then heating it up again. It has even gone as far as marriage, not that something like that means anything to her. She, however, will never have sex with a human. She finds it disgusting even though she was one herself, once. She might come very close then, cool down.
Since becoming a demon Persephone has endeavored to leave her humanity behind, to become wholly a heavenly creature of hell, and in many ways she has succeeded. But there is one part of her that she cannot shake, Poppy still suffers emotions. Not strong ones, mind you, but still they are there. She can love, she can hate, she can hurt, she can pity. She sees this as a terrible weakness and never ever shows what she truly feels. In a way, she tortures people so as to reassure herself that emotional pain can be shared. Her heart may have hardened, but never will it freeze.
Likes: People who trust easily, night, mesmerizing people, acting, leaving her hair down, water, fire, the full moon, the night of the new moon, busy streets.
Dislikes: Suspicious people, midday, being alone, angels, emotions.
Strengths: Very good at acting. Convincing people to do what she wants. Able to move at inhuman speeds. Has inhuman strength. Can escape from pretty much anywhere.
Weaknesses: Her emotions, midday and very well-lit rooms, her boss, the words 'I swear'.
History:
Persephone was born in Elizabethan London, and was the youngest of thirteen kids. She still has no idea how her mother managed to give birth that many times. Noisy, painful and crowded pretty much sums up her childhood.
When she was sixteen her parents tried to marry her off to some diseased old man who could have been her grandfather. Of course she didn't want to, but had an excellent time leading him on. She was beautiful and young and was the first woman to show any sort of interest in the man. She ran away on the night before the wedding and heard later that he had a heart attack when she went 'missing'.
She kept low for a few years until she was given up for dead, then decided what to do with her life. The ease with which she had fooled the old man gave her confidence, so she started a life as a con-artist. She doesn't remember many of the people, but she remembers how to do it. She got herself a nice little fortune as well and lived in comfort for a while. Until one day when she went to see a play, Hamlet it was. She fell in love with acting on stage then. She could do that, she could do better than that. She wanted to be on that stage so badly it hurt. So afterwords she went around the back and begged for a position, she tried every trick she knew, but it turned out that women weren't allowed to act in those days. Finally she grew so desperate that she would have traded anything for just one chance on stage. Anything. Well, you can probably guess what happened next. Yep, just a flick of the pen and she was in. She gave one perfect performance, then was called on to pay the debt. She figured it was no use resisting and she knew that sooner or later hell would get her anyway.
She doesn't mind, acting by her own script is much more fun.
