Name- Lust
Type- Personification
Age- As old as the beings who feel lust
Gender- Male… well most of the time
Parents/Family- Who exactly is at fault for his existence is a bit unsure
Powers- Lust´s powers, obviously, revolve around the feeling of lust. At will, he can enhance the feeling of it in others or make it weaker if he wishes too, though usually his choice is to enhance it. Just with his will, he cannot make lust just suddenly appear, it has to be there already, even if just a little spark, for him to be able to manipulate it. Though if there is no lust already present, he can take care of that too. Though he has only two primal forms and both of them human, Lust can manipulate his appearance at will and make himself the desire of others. He can change the length, texture and colour of his hair for instance but only in human possible colours [that includes white and shades of grey, any shade of blond, any brown shade, the red shades from ginger to a stronger red colour and finally black, but it excludes colours such as pink, blue – to achieve such a colour, Lust would have to make his hair a light shade and then dye it]. The same goes for the form and colour of the eyes [again only natural colours, though he can make his eyes an extraordinary variation of a natural colour – for instance an icy blue like the eyes of a husky or an especially vibrant green; the most exotic shade probably being a bluish-violet tone, but no red, purple, white and so on]; also he cannot change the form of his pupils, they´re round and cannot be made to catlike form. His whole body can be altered to be made into the object of someone´s desire, which he can easily read from their mind. But all the alterations he can will his body to make are in the range of humanly possible. Among other, it is impossible for him to make his ears to pointy elf ears, cat ears or anything similar. But as these forms are not his original forms, he cannot keep them for longer periods of time, not without returning to one of his original two forms in between. The limit of the altered forms is at a few hours, max one day. However, he only has to shift to his original form for ten minutes to half an hour, depending on how much alterations he has to make to gain the other form. The sex of the form he assumes doesn´t matter, since Lust can start out from either his male or female form.
Lust doesn´t exactly feed on the lust of people, not by taking their life force trough sex like an incubus or succubus would, but absorbs the excessive energy that it produces. For that he doesn´t even have to have any contact with the person, but only has to be near. For instance, he can simply go to a strip club and absorb the lust and energy radiating off of the people. Of course he can gain more energy from sexual intercourse than from just being near the lust, but it´s possible both ways. Of course with enhancing the feeling of lust, he can gain more energy and at the same give more pleasure, which, understandably, is a plus for the person, or persons involved. Absorbing the lust of others increases Lust´s power, if not for very long.
Weaknesses- As already mentioned, the flaw in Lust´s powers is, that he cannot keep an altered form for more than a day without taking a short pause from it. Of course it takes some additional time after that to assume the same form again, make all the alterations a new which also requires quite some concentration. A thing that maybe should be mentioned is that Lust is not and never will be more beautiful than a god or goddess of beauty, or someone who controls beauty, because Lust is not about being absolutely and perfectly beautiful, but about being as alluring and desirable as possible. Though some may think that it´s the same, and for some it even may be, generally it is not the same. Also, the power of alteration is limited, as already described, to only humanly possible forms and does not include growing cat ears and a fluffy kitty-cat tail, though some people have such fantasies. Also Lust cannot make himself look as someone else. For instance if for someone the most desirable form is that of Keanu Reeves or maybe Carmen Electra, Lust cannot assume the exact same form. He can alter his form to come very close to the actual person, but will never look completely the same.
Physical Description- Lust has many forms, since how he shows himself to a person, depends on what each individual finds most alluring. However he has two original forms, to which he has to always return sooner or later.
One of the two is that of a young man with strikingly beautiful features. Full, nicely shaped lips tempt and almost beg to be kissed. Stormy silvery-grey eyes entice, sending a silent invitation to others and are often half closed in a seductive look, dark, long lashes surrounding them. His brows are two dark, fine arches over his eyes. Quite often, when not busy with enticing, those eyes are sparkling with mischief and amusement. Lust has rich, black hair that falls down his back like a silky waterfall, almost reaching his waist. Lust is tall and slender, his body lean and muscled to a pleasant extent, not enough to make him look buff since he´s more slender and elegant than athletic, though he still manages to look masculine and give the impression of strength. His skin is a pale, creamy tone and perfectly smooth.
The other original form he can start from when altering his form to fit someone´s fantasy and return to when the time comes, is a female one. This form is a beautiful, slender woman with long legs and curves in all the right places. As opposed to the man, her skin is a slightly darker shade, though the skin, of course, is just as wonderfully soft and smooth to the touch. The eyes are wide and sparkling, surrounded by long, thick lashes. The lips, like the man´s, are full, though they´re darker, more of a reddish ton and slightly pouty. Her hair also reaches to her waist, but it´s slightly wavy, as opposed to the smooth hair of the man, though just as shiny and soft to the touch. Though she´s slender, she doesn´t look like something fragile, though just the same, she doesn´t look too strong. Just the right amount of strength and independence of independence but still petite enough to bring up the protector instinct in men.
Mental Description- Lust generally refers to himself in the masculine form when speaking about himself, even when in his female form. Only when seducing someone on that form, will he sometimes speak of himself in feminine form. When using one of the altered forms, he adapts the way he speaks of himself to the sex of the form he´s currently using.
Though Lust isn´t evil, he certainly isn´t the friendliest and most righteous person around. His interest is mainly in his own benefit, not considering the affect it will have on others. As long as he gets what he wants, he´s happy. He uses his powers to get what he wants and can be very persuasive, not quick to give up. He doesn´t much care for rules, but will obey them to some extent if he cannot find a way around them, if only to avoid punishment and not out of any sense of obligation.
Being Lust, he enjoys seducing others or only play with them for a bit, to kill boredom. Lust will not always seduce to be able to absorb their lust, but just for the fun of it. Quite often, he will only tempt and tease, but not let the person he´s currently amusing himself with, have him. Giving just enough to keep their interest and make them frustrated. If the person is sensitive and mistakes lust for love, causing complications and eventually maybe their eventual suicide… well Lust doesn´t care much, besides that certainly is an amusing turn. If you look at it that way, Lust can be quite cruel.
Lust will not always involve himself when playing games or trying to achieve something. Sometimes, he´ll just watch and maybe enhance the lust between two people, to see what happens. Preferably in the most inconvenient of circumstances. Sometimes it will also be more than just one person and an orgy will issue as a result. Ah well, all the more fun and energy for Lust to absorb.
Even though Lust does many things simply for his amusement and benefit, he will occasionally help people who he takes a liking in. Maybe help start a relationship between two people, who obviously lust after each other but can´t manage to get anything started. Though if love relationship comes from that is another thing, since Lust cannot give love. Lust may also help someone rise up to a higher position, by maybe making someone in their way, get out of the way on the basis of an affair or something similar. It greatly depends on his mood and liking of the person really.
History- When exactly Lust came into existence isn´t completely sure, and also not from where he came. But it´s safe to say, that he´s at least a bit older as humanity, though probably as old as the gods, since those too feel lust. Even if some may think that Lust was never as important and hasn´t played a big role in history, they are wrong. Though the gods of wisdom, war, love and especially the natural elements are better known than Lust, he has had his hands in many affairs [no pun intended].
A great deal of wars was started over a woman for instance, like the war of Troy. Of course the gods had their hands in it, but also Lust had played his part with making Paris and Helena lust after each other, though he did not make Helena love the unfortunate, foolish boy. Even if he could, he wouldn´t care to do so, since it was much more fun the way it had been. And that was only one war he had helped start.
One interesting thing dating close to the appearance of Lust is that at first the power of lust was given to two personifications. A brother and sister, who were very similar in personality and shared the same powers that started to develop as they were growing up. Since the siblings had a very tight bond with each other and they were not immune to each other´s powers [the intensity of which could be regulated but never completely stopped], they were first separated to prevent incest. However since that made both depressed and unwilling to accept and carry out any task given to them, instead searching for a way to reunite again, they were ultimately merged into one person so they could always be together and not fall victim to their own powers.
At the beginning, Lust´s possibilities were limited, since even though he can affect gods and other strong beings, it takes more effort to achieve his goals and some of them can resist his attempts at least a few times if not every time. So when humans were created, Lust gained a new, big playground onto which he could extend his powers. Humans were so much easier to play with since they posses far less power than gods or any of the other beings that had been in existence until then. At that point Lust gained quite some power though it only rose to some point before it settled and now only rises higher for brief periods of time after he absorbs energy.
Through the centuries and millennia, Lust has been the cause of so many [mostly bad] things that it is impossible to keep track with everything. Even though he was not always the only cause, he was involved in most important occurrences in the past and still is in the present. As already said, he helped start many wars, but that´s only one thing. He can also be blamed for quite a number of suicides, murders and other crimes committed by humans. Some of them Lust caused on purpose and others were just accidents or more like experiments. Lust always enjoyed studying the psychology of the mortals and did various things with his power to see what it would make the humans do, learning as he went along and tried things. But the interest in the personalities was never the only reason since Lust possesses a sense of mischief which causes him to enjoy the reactions that may seem tragic to humans but amuse him, just as many tragic things often amuse the gods.
Of course there are also good things Lust has done since his existence, though those are fewer than the bad ones but nevertheless they do exist. Also Lust has no interest as being regarded as a kind person, so mostly he kept the good things he did to himself, not bragging about them. A few are known, but since most of those were done under the orders of this or that god or goddess, Lust can keep up his reputation even though he did a few good deeds. A few of those he even enjoyed doing, but a few he did only because he wanted no trouble with the gods.
For a few of his deeds Lust was punished in the past, especially if they interfered with the plans of one of the gods, since everyone knows how well some of them take it if their plans fail because of someone´s interference may it be intentional or not. Luckily Lust has nonetheless managed to stay off of the black list of any of the gods though some have been quite annoyed with him for some time, though eventually they do forget about things. A few centuries can do wonders.
Most of the time Lust is just enjoying himself on the Earth, though occasionally he will make a trip to the Olympus, since it´s usually worth the effort of walking all the way up. After all, with the gods up there, there´s always some argument pr competition going on, which usually proves to be amusing and an opportunity to cause mischief with his powers and not be punished for it. Also it´s always interesting to see who else might be there and test his powers with someone stronger than humans every now and then, just for the challenge and to prove to himself how good he is. Though he doesn´t always succeed, of course.
Through his existence so far, Lust has seen a lot of love, mostly among humans, but the emotion still confuses him to some point, since he has not experienced it so far. The closest he has come to that was frequent lovemaking with only one person for a period of a few months, though that certainly can´t be compared with love. It could be the nature of his powers that keep him from falling in love and making him just lust after other´s instead, making him grow bored with them quite soon after he´s had them. Lust doesn´t particularly worry about that, since he doesn´t think all that much about love anyway.
Current Residence- Lust has a hidden island of his own with a residence on it, which he´s acquired with the use of his powers a few centuries ago. Since then, the magnificent villa that´s currently his residence, has been modernized and renewed every so often, so it´s up to time and to his liking. Usually the residence gets a makeover when Lust get´s temporarily bored with humans and the stronger beings are unwilling to play his games. Since the last phase of boredom has taken place recently, the residence is currently sporting modern furniture and technology, which Lust enjoys using. Humans are good for something other than amusing oneself, after all.
