In his normal form, Morgan reaps the benefits of good genetic. He has unassuming 'sweet' looking face with a smile that could stop even the hardest of people. He has a slim build, some would say feminine or androgynous. His hair is unkempt and mussed most of the time. In fact, that's how he looks all over. A rugged disheveled man. He does clean up nice though.

 

His clothing style depends on what he's doing. When not committing acts based on his impulses, he dresses down, sweatpants and gym shirt that show his slight form. When 'motivated, he dresses for the crime. Going to steal things? Dark clothes. Going to gorge himself? Probably loose clothes. Going to murder some one(s)? Anything that'll let him get close.

 

History

Morgan's parentage was one devil worshiping woman and the devil himself. The woman summonsed Old Scratch herself and offered her body to him for his service to her. Instead of killing her outright and wandering the land again (he still had business down in Georgia), he fed into her fantasy of having power over him. Plus it would get those pesky mystics off of his back. It lasted for a while, but The Pact being a thing and Lucifer not really wanting to keep his word to this silly mortal, just disappeared one day. He left a note for the woman, 'take care of the child, see me through him'.

 

Morgan was born 13 months later. He looked like a normal human child, but his soul carried the taint of his father.Morgan grew up with his crazy mother who doted on her beautiful satanic child, letting him get away with murder (and other crimes). Morgan lead a carefree hedonistic lifestyle for most of his life. Thinking he could get away with anything. Until he met his first hero to oppose him.

 

Star Lass was a thorn in his side as his atrocities piled up. She was utterly disgusted by him, but he 'loved' her in a crazy way. Committing crimes just to make her show up, killing other heroes who dared to interfere. With his silver tongue, over time, Star Lass fell 'in love' with him too. She became his closest companion, taking the name of Le Garce. Morgan and Le Garce made headlines all over the papers until the thick of the Dark Age came.

 

Morgan and Le Garce were murdered by some hero. He doesn't even remember their name. It was the first time Morgan had died. His fiendish soul resurrected him immediately and transformed him into a demonic monster. He killed the murderous hero in the most gruesome way possible. So much so that it didn't make the papers. Le Garce's death was blamed on him too. After a while, Morgan returned to his 'normal' form. Though he knew of his 'insurance' now.

 

Sometime later on, Morgan learned an even more dark secret. After dying twice. He was sucked into Hell to meet his father. Satan grinned, greeting his son. He told him that those first deaths were all just setup. Play time. But he would empower his son one more time if he felt like it. Morgan, wanting to be alive and doing things rather than in Hell, accepted his father's gift. The unsuspecting group of heroes that had just put the monster down were 'treated' to a dark surprise when Morgan came back powered by Beelzebub. No one remembered the names of the fallen team. But the world would know of the power of Morgan Stern!

 

Personality & Motivation

Morgan is driven by the evil impulses in his soul. Not to say he's a whacked out loon (though sometimes...), he knows his way around a sweet or inspiring word. He's his father's son when it comes to that. His impulses sometimes want him to be 'good', in the fact that you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. It's an act. It's always an act.

 

Powers & Tactics

 

Power Descriptions

In his normal form, Morgan looks perfect. Nothing can mar his beauty. Even drug through the mud and beaten thoroughly, Morgan somehow appeals to people. His father's genetics allowed him to stop aging in his late twenties, and made him immune to fire. If he dies, He will immediately transform into demonic form.

 

In his demonic form, the pretty falls off. He's a huge beast with rough unbreakable skin. sharp fangs and teeth that pierce all but the strongest of objects. and a baleful howl of hellfire that burns and demoralizes. Sometimes, he even has wings. If he dies, he will disappear and teleport to his father's throne. The Demon King knows why he's there and will give him one more chance. But it will take time, a day at least.

 

In his final form, his father fits him with a form and demonic powers that fit the death. He could be the normal Morgan form, he could be the beast, he could be anything in between. Either way, the final form is something that is awe-inspiring and terrifying. If he dies in this form, his father will hold him for a while. (This is PL X and fitted to plot. It might not even happen.)

 

Demonic and Final forms last 24 hours. After which, he returns to Normal form.
