Zepram, Demonlord of Gluttony
New
Roleplay posts: 9
Physical Description: Zepram’s typical appearance is one of a human male in their early twenties. Unlike what many would expect of gluttony, he isn’t fat at all, on the contrary looking almost frail. Two black horns and rather oddly shaped early however
Clothes and Equipment: Wears a long black and red robe, with golden scrollwork on it. The robe is open on the chest but completely covers his lower body. Long strips also extend from the arms down to the ground and he wears a collar of similar design to the robe. He also can almost always be found with his pipe and wineglass. Each one is an artifact of some kind, but other than supplying him with unlimited smokes and drinks, it isn’t clear what they do exactly.

While being under the scrutiny of the other bathers was uncomfortable to Bria, it was about to become a secondary concern. Indeed, there was something far more pressing about to happen.
It started with only a few bubbles, likely not even worth notice. However, what started as a few bubbles quickly became many, briefly creating a roiling torrent mere feet away from where Bria relaxed. From within the torrent appeared Zepram’s head, the water calming soon after.
His skin was pale, too pale to be explained simply by a lack of sun. It was also far too perfect in complexion, no imperfections marring its surface. His hair was an ivory white, the two black horns that rose out of it contrasting it in color. While the water obscured a proper view of his body, he seemed to be very thin, just shy of being considered emaciated.
Idly wiping some water out of his eyes, the demon idly glanced from side to side before laying eyes on Bria and raising one eyebrow.
“Hmm… So you’re the one who’s to assist me. Mmmm…” His voice was soft, almost ‘gentle’ sounding.

Bria was a stranger to the baths, sure, but he knew that some noises just weren’t normal.
As the bubbling grew louder, and more aggressive, he opened one eye just in time to see something rising out of the water. It looked humanoid, but Bria knew better than to assume it was human, and he felt justified when he saw the horns. With a look that could only be defined as annoyance, he lifted up one arm to look at the tattoos that churned and moved seemingly randomly.
His patron had volunteered him to do something. He let the arm fall back down into the water with a sigh.
“I wish I could have gotten a bit of prior warning, but yes, I suppose I am.” The logistics of this were going to be unfortunate. He didn’t quite want to get out of the bath in front of this demon but he supposed demons might not have the same concepts of modesty.
“And you are?”

There was no hesitation in the demon’s movements as Bria briefly revealed his tattoo. While he may have already been too close for comfort before, he surely was now. Squinting down into the water Bria had lowered his arm back into, the demon was doing his damnedest to get another look at the moving tattoo.
“A rather curious thing you have on your body… I’d like to inspect it later, but I suppose that can wait. For now.” Relenting for the moment, Zepram leaned back against the wall of the bath, giving Bria just a tad more of his personal space back.
“Ah yes, my name.” The demon scratched his head as if he had somehow forgotten the question mere seconds after it had been asked.
“I am Zepram, the Demonlord of Gluttony from the Hellscape.” It was a simple answer, there was no theatrics involved or distant rumbles of thunder that followed his words.
“Your patron didn’t speak to you in advance about my arrival? That’s a bit lazy of him, but I suppose there’s nothing to be done about it at this point.” Crossing his arms, Zepram fell silent, simply staring at Bria. Even without the horns, it was apparent just by looking into his eyes that he wasn't human. Aside from the obviously unnatural golden color they practically glowed with, there was something that was just wrong with them.

Bria jolted when the demon got closer, staring down at the tattoos and probably something else. He crossed his legs in an attempt to keep some of his sanity.
“It’s a gift from my patron, if you can call it that.” Nothing that Tarizol gave him could really be considered a gift. The tattoos may look nice, but the constant line of communication between him and his patron just invited more trouble. Like this situation, stark naked with a demon staring down at him.
Zepram? Unfamiliar but he didn’t quite keep up to date with the who’s who in the underworld. “My pleasure. Bria, though I assume you would already have my name, and no, my patron didn’t alert me. It’s fine, he was probably just busy.” That might be true. Tarizol had a lot of tentacles in a lot of human beings. If that was metaphorical or not, Bria wasn’t sure.
Well, there was no way to avoid this. “So you mention assisting. I assume you have some sort of task for me? I do hope it isn’t too dangerous. I don’t think my patron would appreciate me dying working for some other demon. People might talk.”

“Mmm, a gift from your patron… How intriguing.” Slicking his hair back with one hand, Zepram lounged against the edge of the bath. Bria was obviously uncomfortable with the situation, but Zepram couldn’t really care less. It wasn’t like the human had any say in whether or not they participated.
“Yes, he did mention your name but I appreciate the refresher… My memory isn’t what it used to be. Hopefully, our time together won’t be too taxing for you, Bria.” Somehow during the time he had first arrived and started talking to Bria, a wineglass had made its way into Zepram’s hand. Taking a long drink from it, Zepram continued.
The mention of death got a slight snort from Zepram. “While I don’t think death should be too likely for what I have in mind, I doubt your patron would care that much. In this line of business, some might say you can’t get started until you die!” Allowing his less than assuring words hang for a moment, Zepram let out a slight yawn before waving his hand as if that alone would dismiss the problem.
“To put things simply, there’s an object I need you to get for me. It’s in a place I can’t enter you see, and until I have it back, things in the Overworld a rather troublesome for me.” Licking his lips, Zepram lowered his voice slightly and glanced around to ensure there were no nearby eavesdroppers. “Tell me, what type of experience do you have with… Religious establishments?”

Bria quirked an eyebrow - his only eyebrow - at the glass of wine but said nothing. It wasn’t his place, and playing nice may get him in and out of this situation as fast as possible. He rubbed the scarred portion of his face in thought.
“Religious establishments,” he said, “Like, real churches? I’ve been in a few before, yeah. Not pleasant, they make my skin crawl but otherwise I’m able to step into them. I assume that this object is being kept by the religious folk?”
Unfortunate for any demonic entity. Say what you might about the paladins and clerics of the world, but they knew how to stop a demon from entering a place. “Is this place abandoned, or will we have to deal with uh, company?” Priests, churchgoers, rabid dogs, who knew at this point. He knew to keep expectations to a minimum these days. Could be a church run by rabid dogs who can shoot holy energy out of their noses. He had seen weirder.
