Welcome :)
Characters sired by LYCO ─── I'm a 27-year-old Brazilian, always open for chats, memes, discussions, and random questions. I'm pretty chill about it all, so feel free to jump into open starters, drop threads, take your time responding, or just tag me in goofy stuff. If I've missed something, I probably just forgot—don't hesitate to give me a nudge. Feel free to add me on discord and send me silly messages! :)I've got a soft spot for devils and villainous lore. The "deal with the devil" and gothic/vampiric themes fascinates me, so my writing leans heavily into that. Sometimes I get carried away with purple prose—blame my gothic literature upbringing. Fun fact: my dog's name is Dorian Gray.I work and study, squeezing my hobbies between tasks and mostly at night, so my availability depends on how much life is piling up. I'm a tortured (2D & 3D) artist™, designer, junior software engineer, wannabe writer, and full-time goth trash. I love villains, devils, animals, beer, theatre and making questionable life choices that scream, "I should know better, but here we are."When in doubt, feel free to message me!
Also, MUN ≠ MUSE—don’t mix things up.

Hell has its laws
❝ In my world, in my HOUSE, there is order, and there is decorum.❞
— THESE GUIDELINES APPLY TO ALL BLOGS UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE —
I) OC-Friendly & Duplicate-Friendly
I’m very OC-friendly (I love it!), but I’m not comfortable with self-insert or projection characters. If you’re playing an OC, I’ll take the time to review your bio and find common plot hooks. My responses might take a bit longer because of this, but it’s to ensure our characters have a deeper connection. I’m also duplicate/twin friendly (*for non-oc characters blogs).II) Interactions
I don’t mind personal or non-RP blogs, as long as they don't interact with RP threads. My headcanons and out-of-character posts are free to reblog and comment on. Generally, feel free to message me—I’m approachable and always up for conversation!III) Mature Themes
Trigger warning: I write mature and horror themes. My content is potentially NSFW, though not exclusively. Minors, please do not interact. I enjoy writing smut, but I stay true to character portrayal and won’t initiate NSFW content unless there’s mutual interest and chemistry between our muses. No need to worry—I will never force anything. Even if my muses get flirty, feel free to shut them down or slap them. I’ll never take things personally.IV) Character Portrayal
I stick to canon as closely as possible while filling in gaps where needed to create a richer story. I do take some liberties for RP’s sake—adjusting details to make interactions smoother and more engaging. You’ll catch glimpses of my own interpretation throughout. I also avoid physical fights for simplicity and prefer focusing on more dynamic plots and conversations. In the case of canon characters, refer to their headcanons in my links.V) RP Settings
I primarily roleplay in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dungeons & Dragons settings, unless otherwise stated on the blog or character, they might have verses and AUs as well. AUs and canon divergences are welcome, though I rarely do crossovers. I’m also open to fandomless settings.
VI) Responses & Writing Style
I typically write in third person, 1-5 paragraphs, but I’m happy to match lengths. No pressure to keep up with my pace! Feel free to turn asks or memes into threads, or not—no expectations. Asks are always open. I don’t care how you format your threads or profile—just be yourself and enjoy.VII) Shipping & Smut
I prefer to ship based on character chemistry and our OOC connection. I’m not a ship-focused or smut-focused blog. That said, if the chemistry is there, I’m open to discussing ships. Note: My blogs are all multi-shipsVIII) Priorities
I’m here to find writing partners and casual interactions, whether planned or impromptu, private or public. My priority is plot and engaging stories. Some days, I’ll prefer to respond to shorter, simpler threads—it’s nothing personal, just how my IRL availability and mood align. Outside of my mains, I don’t prioritize anyone specifically.IX) Exclusivity
I don’t typically do exclusives unless we have something really special going on. If we both agree and are on the same page, we can discuss it (shipping exclusivity). With my mains, I don’t require exclusivity—feel free to explore other dynamics and have fun! Just communicate, and we’re good!
*Being a main of mine means we have good chemistry IC and OOC and I'm going to prioritize your threads.X) Experience
I’ve been roleplaying and playing RPGs for a long time, though I’m relatively new to Tumblr. When in doubt, send me a message!XI) No Pressure
Never feel pressured to respond quickly or match my pace—I’ll never be upset if you take your time or reply with shorter posts. Please prioritize yourself and your enjoyment above all. Also, don't hesitate to communicate your needs and boundaries, it's not an issue at all.

Summary
Hansel is a rare concubus and Asmodeus's favored pet. Known for his legendary, decadent, and hedonistic parties, Hansel is a social butterfly whose charm and manipulation often lead to hidden pacts. He is a master of seduction and emotional manipulation, using his concubus abilities to enthrall or punish. Despite his mischievous and flamboyant nature, he has a deep adoration for his master and will do anything to remain in his favor. His personality shifts between regal sophistication and crudeness, with a tendency to give ironic nicknames. In Baldur's Gate 3, Hansel appears as a high-society host, offering pleasure or information with hidden infernal motives, while navigating his role as both a seducer and a servant bound to Asmodeus.
❝Oh, sweetling, you simply must join us today! Your presence would make the evening truly unforgettable. And who knows? You might find yourself pleasantly surprised. Why settle for ordinary when the extraordinary awaits? Do not keep me waiting.❞
Background
Hansel, a rare concubus, is the devilish darling of Baator and Asmodeus’s favored pet. Though he masquerades as an incubus, his status as the King of Hell’s most beloved concubine commands immense respect among his peers. Hansel’s decadent parties are legendary in the Nine Hells, where nobles, merchants, and politicians flock for both pleasure and power. Behind every flirtatious smile or teasing comment, however, lies a calculated move to ensnare mortals and demons into subtle pacts, all in service of Asmodeus's grand design.Gliding effortlessly through the crowd, Hansel plays the role of the perfect host—charming, seductive, and wickedly clever. His mastery of manipulation allows him to extract confessions, desires, and ambitions with nothing more than a well-timed touch or a sweet word. By the end of the night, many of his guests find themselves tangled in infernal deals they never intended to make, completely under his spell.Beyond his social games, Hansel’s influence stretches into the politics of the mortal world, subtly steering decisions in Asmodeus’s favor. His mischief, however, extends beyond loyalty—Hansel enjoys playing his own dangerous games, walking the fine line between devilish devotion and personal indulgence. His charm and cunning make him a dangerous asset, seducing others into his orbit with ease, while his own lust for excitement keeps the infernal court on edge.Asmodeus prizes Hansel for his unique abilities. Unlike others who rely on force, Hansel uses his charm, seduction, and his ability Blissbreaker to gain control, leaving his victims addicted to the intense pleasure he can provide. His legendary parties draw power players from every corner, pulling them into pacts that serve the infernal agenda. Hansel’s loyalty to Asmodeus is undeniable, but his mischievous nature adds spice to Baator, making him a delightful yet dangerous part of the infernal king’s inner circle.
Concubus
Hansel/Gretel is a concubus (offspring of a fey and an incubus) masquerading as an incubus. It's easy because he inherited most of his traits, including his lustful hunger, from his incubus father.Hansel, a rare concubus masquerading as an incubus, is highly coveted by infernal collectors who prize unique beings for their harems or as slaves and playthings. His true identity, known only to Asmodeus, makes him a valuable target, with many powerful devils and collectors willing to go to great lengths to capture him. Asmodeus has taken over his protection. The constant fear of discovery forces Hansel to remain vigilant, always aware that his rarity could either grant him power or doom him to eternal, torturous captivity at the hands of mortals and devils alike.
Relationship with Asmodeus
Hansel's relationship with Asmodeus began in an unexpected turn of events. Hansel, trapped under a cruel and abusive master who kept him locked in a birdcage and subjected him to relentless abuse, attempted to use his concubus abilities on none other than the King of Hell himself. However, Asmodeus easily saw through Hansel's. Rather than punish him, Asmodeus took pity on his situation, recognizing that Hansel had been forced into this and was reluctant to carry out his master's commands. Amused by Hansel's audacity and empathetic toward his plight, Asmodeus offered him a chance at freedom—rescue from his tormentor in exchange for Hansel's loyalty and service. Hansel, with no other options, accepted the deal, and since then, Asmodeus has proven to be a surprisingly better master than any Hansel had known before.With time, Hansel became Asmodeus's favorite, protected little pet, not only for his exceptional service but also because Hansel genuinely loved his master and would do anything to stay in his favor. He was deeply grateful for the life Asmodeus had given him and would do anything to keep under his grace.
Hansel & Gretel name
Hansel's name, inspired by a Faerûnian variant of the Hansel and Gretel story, was drawn from the only book he had access to while enslaved. The tale of survival and escape deeply resonated with him, shaping his complex identity. Both "Hansel" and "Gretel" represent the duality of his nature—his seductive, mischievous side contrasted with his more vulnerable and softer alter-ego.
Personality
Hansel is an extravagant, fun-loving devil who thrives on chaos and indulgence. He’s the life of every party—charming, flirty, and always surrounded by admirers. Social to the core, he revels in the thrill of seduction, meeting new people, and the excitement of the unpredictable. In Baator, he’s renowned as the devil who knows everyone. To him, rules are mere suggestions; his elevated status allows him to push boundaries, diving headfirst into adventure and dragging others along with his infectious energy. Though reckless, Hansel is not overtly violent, preferring mental games to physical harm. His charm masks a cunning mind, always ready to turn any situation to his advantage. As a coveted incubus, he takes immense pride in making his company an honor.Despite his often elegant and friendly manner, Hansel’s demeanor can shift abruptly between sophistication and crudeness. He can switch from speaking like a regal noble to hurling curse words with abandon. Though not inherently angry, his mood and persona change rapidly, a quirk that those around him have come to accept as part of his enigmatic charm.Hansel has a distinctive habit of giving everyone he meets a playful or ironic nickname, each one reflecting his insight into their true nature or his personal perception of them. His favorite gifts are magical trinkets, perfume, and jewelry—particularly those imbued with sentimental value or a meaningful connection to their givers. He adores the drama and displays of devotion associated with such items, especially when they hold a special bond and are difficult to part with, even if they are broken.
Powers and abilities
Natural abilities:- Euphoria's Embrace: He can use fey+incubus magic to amplify sexual and psychological pleasure, making every experience otherworldly and impossible to forget. When someone orgasms inside him or takes his seed, they can experience true bliss, like taking a potent drug, and that euphoria lingers for a while afterward. He could also release a less potent version of it with his kiss. It's like a concubus variant of the incubus death kiss.
This effect has caused many of his past partners to become addicted to him, leading to possessiveness and violent side effects when they don't get their "dosage." They quite literally become drug addicts. Because of this, Hansel only uses this ability on his master, Asmodeus, or when Asmodeus orders him to use it for manipulation. Asmodeus handles the effect better than anyone he ever slept with.- Lustful Entanglement: During intimacy or outside of it, Hansel can summon ethereal, glowing chains that wrap around both his body and his partner's. These chains heighten sensitivity and pleasure, amplifying every touch and caress. They can also be used to increase pain and agony, particularly when Asmodeus is punishing someone.- Blissbreaker: Hansel can channel his magic (Euphoria's Embrace) as a weapon into his partner's body during climax, giving them an orgasm so powerful it leaves them mentally shattered for a short period. While in this euphoric state, they are left completely vulnerable and submissive to Hansel's will, willing to do anything to experience that level of pleasure again. He frequently uses this to favor his master.Gifted by Asmodeus:- Dark Bond: A special bond was forged between Hansel and Asmodeus, allowing Hansel to call on a fraction of his master’s power when in danger or need. This bond manifests as a surge of infernal strength, temporarily granting Hansel greater speed, resilience, and magical prowess. However, the power comes with a price: once invoked, Hansel becomes more reliant on Asmodeus’s control and influence. It takes form of a brand mark/tattoo on his back with Asmodeus’ signature.- Mark of Devotion: Hansel can mark those he seduces or those who make pacts with him. The mark, an infernal brand gifted by Asmodeus, serves as a way for Hansel to track his "belongings," ensuring no one can break their deal or escape his influence. This mark also allows him to siphon energy from the marked individual, feeding off their emotions or pleasure to grow stronger.Using any of these skills, especially Blissbreaker, leaves him incredibly tired, hurt and prone to seizures. In the past, many of his masters made him use them until he suffered violent seizures.

❝Asphomet is neither one nor the other, but all things: mortal and immortal, sacred and profane.❞

Appearance
*default Human Form: Asphomet appears as a tall, androgynously beautiful man with long, fiery red hair, streaked with white and braided at the ends, vivid green eyes, and fair skin. He wears discreet gold jewelry, exuding understated elegance. His body shifts between hermaphrodite, male, or female, reflecting his fluid duality. Hidden across his skin are raised scars of infernal sigils, easily concealed by clothing.Hybrid Form: In this form, Asphomet embodies his celestial and infernal heritage. He has gold-repaired, broken goat-like horns (Kintsugi), feathered black wings, dark sclera, and bright golden eyes (goat-like pupils with horizontal slit) that glow with an unsettling brilliance. His cloven hooves complete his ethereal yet bestial appearance.Beast Form: Closest to his father, Asphomet transforms into a towering, black-furred fusion of goat, bull, and man, exuding primal chaos. He bears six spiraling golden horns and a powerful, fearsome physique that radiates destruction and strength.Ascended Form: ????
Personality
Asphomet appears serene and composed, observing the world with childlike curiosity, though his demeanor often seems emotionless and cold. This detachment stems from his unfamiliarity with emotions, leaving him distant and unsure how to express them. While he has learned to appear charismatic and engage in small talk, he finds it a tedious chore. Easily bored, he seeks stimulation through puzzles and activities that fuel his insatiable curiosity, often speaking in riddles or blending languages without realizing it.When his beast side surfaces, Asphomet becomes a stark contrast to his usual self—fierce, impulsive, and raw in emotion. His calculated demeanor gives way to primal instincts fueled by hunger, desire, and dominance, reflecting his infernal and chaotic lineage. In this state, his dual nature manifests fully, blending divine fury with fiendish lust, his actions brutally honest and driven by instinct.
Trigger Warning: This content includes themes of non-consensual acts, captivity, and violence. Reader discretion is advised.
Background
In his relentless ambition to transcend his demonic nature and rival the divine, Baphomet, the Prince of Beasts, devised an experiment unlike any other: to create a successor that embodied the essence of all realms—celestial purity, fiendish corruption, primal chaos, and mortal fragility. This act of twisted ingenuity was both a testament to his cunning and a deliberate act of defiance against the cosmic order.
The Ritual of Conception
Baphomet's cruelty knew no bounds in his quest for perfection. To birth a being capable of embodying the paradox of creation and destruction, he and his followers targeted the celestial realms. Through a series of brutal raids, they captured celestial beings—seraphic entities of radiant purity—and dragged them into the Abyss.There, in a ritual steeped in blood and defilement, Baphomet subjected these celestials to unspeakable acts of violence and torture, forcing their divine essence into a sacrilegious union with his infernal seed. Many perished under the strain, their light extinguished in agony. Yet one celestial—a being of unparalleled resilience and beauty—endured. Her radiance was twisted, her purity corrupted by the ritual, and within her was conceived Asphomet Kaellis Caprithar, the only successful product of Baphomet's monstrous ambition.As the ritual concluded under the rare convergence of a solar eclipse, the celestial's body glowed. Baphomet marked her womb with his sigil, binding the forces of celestial light, infernal darkness, primal chaos, and mortal fragility into the child she carried.
The Birth
The celestial’s torment ended in her death as she gave birth to Asphomet. Her body, ravaged by the conflicting forces within her, shattered under the strain. Asphomet clawed their way into existence amid the screams of cultists and the celestial’s fading cries.The child’s golden eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity, while their twisted goat-like legs and faint aura of both warmth and dread hinted at their dual nature. The very air shimmered, as though reality itself struggled to reconcile.Yet as quickly as they emerged, Asphomet collapsed, their body limp and seemingly lifeless. The cultists, awestruck and terrified, believed the experiment had failed. They declared the child stillborn and abandoned the chamber.Unbeknownst to them, Asphomet existed in a liminal state—simultaneously alive and dead, mortal and divine. Hours later, their cries pierced the silence, and their fractured existence began to take shape.
A Paradoxical Existence
From the moment of their first breath, Asphomet’s nature defied comprehension. Their body was tangible yet ethereal, their breathing shallow yet constant, and strange shifting patterns of labyrinths and stars glimmered across their skin.As they grew, their duality became ever more apparent:- At times, they exuded an angelic calm, their golden eyes glowing with wisdom and peace.
- At others, they twisted into a monstrous form, their claws elongating and their voice turning guttural, exuding primal rage.
- Their sex was as fluid as their nature, shifting unpredictably.

Fallout
Baphomet’s creation sent shockwaves through the order. The celestials, outraged by the violation of their own, viewed Asphomet as a tragic abomination, a living reminder of their failure to protect their kin. Fiends, meanwhile, saw Asphomet as a threat—a potential usurper forged from their master’s hubris.Celestials sought to reclaim Asphomet, believing they could purify their corrupted essence and turn them against Baphomet.
Fiends plotted to destroy or corrupt them further, fearing their existence as a rival power.
Mortals, particularly Baphomet’s cultists, revered Asphomet as a divine intermediary, interpreting their cryptic nature as sacred truths.
Asphomet’s Struggles
For Asphomet, existence itself was a curse. They were painfully aware of their fractured nature.Their body shifted unpredictably, never fully stable.
Their mind was a labyrinth of conflicting voices—celestial whispers urging peace clashing with infernal growls demanding destruction. Though Baphomet was proud of his creation, he grew increasingly frustrated with Asphomet’s defiance. Their self-awareness made them resistant to his manipulations, and they yearned to break free from his schemes.
Legacy of a Living Paradox
On the Material Plane, Asphomet became a figure of legend, both feared and revered. Cults dedicated to Asphomet flourished, hailing them as the Sabbatic Goat, a manifestation of truths beyond mortal understanding.Yet even as their legend grew, Asphomet remained torn between two destinies:To embrace their father’s ambitions, ascending as a ruler of chaos and creation, or to forge their own path, seeking meaning in their existence.

TL;DR:
Asphomet Kaellis Caprithar, the Sabbatic Goat, is a paradoxical being created by Baphomet through the forced union of celestial light and infernal darkness. Simultaneously mortal and divine, alive and dead, Asphomet’s duality defines their existence, shifting between angelic serenity and monstrous ferocity.Their creation disrupted the balance, drawing ire from celestials, fiends, and mortals alike. Revered by cultists and feared by others, Asphomet struggles with their identity, torn between loyalty to Baphomet and forging their own path. They embody the eternal conflict between creation and destruction, chaos and order in a universe that cannot fully understand them.
Trivia
- Asphomet despises being referred to as a demon, fiend, or any of their variants.- He's both Baphomet's greatest success and his ultimate failure. Asphomet is a creation so perfectly crafted that he became a rival even Baphomet cannot fully control.- Asphomet is oblivious to most emotions and relationships. He often misunderstand social cues and intentions, making him surprisingly gullible for a being of such power.- Fascination with bugs. Asphomet admires the symmetry and patterns in insects, often finding beauty in their seemingly chaotic forms.- Asphomet has no concept of fear. This isn't bravery but rather an inability to comprehend danger in the way most beings do.- Exceptional mimic. Whether it's speech, body language, or even magical signatures, Asphomet can replicate what he observe almost perfectly.- Love music but cannot create it himself. Attempts at playing instruments often end in frustration.The one thing he can't mimic lol- Asphomet has a collection of "curiosities" from mortal realms.- Surprisingly bad at lying
NOTE: Asphomet is inspired by the symbolism of Baphomet from "our world," drawing on themes of duality, balance, and more. In my D&D setting, he is destined to overtake his father, consume his essence, and claim the title of Baphomet.However, I focus on his "early years"—he’s only 166 years old, which is young by immortal standards. While I take inspiration from D&D lore, I’ve made changes to fit my own worldbuilding.D&D is designed to be flexible, allowing for creative freedom, so my OC doesn’t strictly follow canon but rather serves as an interpretation that suits my setting and narrative.

Summary
In the shadowed year of 1067 DR, a child named Cillanora was born into a dark cult devoted to an ancient, forgotten deity. From birth, she was groomed to become a doll for the dark prince—a fiendish, cruel spirit and offspringof the entity her family worshipped. They sought to make her his plaything, his eternal companion. To achieve this, they performed a twisted ritual meant to hollow her soul, stripping away her humanity and leaving her as a lifeless doll in the prince’s control.But something went terribly wrong.As the ritual climaxed, the prince’s spirit fused with her, binding his malevolence to her innocent soul in a twisted, eternal embrace. Her body transformed: her skin turned porcelain, her movements stiffened, her eyes became glassy and empty. She became a doll-like creature, no longer entirely herself, yet not fully under his control. The result was a tragic fusion of child and fiend, each battling for dominance in a fragile, cursed vessel.Now, Cilla wanders as the Doll, an eerie figure who haunts the world in a delicate, unsettling dance of innocence and malice. Legends say she appears in shadowed places when the veil between realms grows thin, leaving cursed dolls in the likeness of those she visits. And, for those who hear her haunting lullaby echo in the dark, there’s only one invitation, an endless, fateful game, whispered in her soft, chilling voice: "Shall we play?”
Appearance
Cilla appears as a delicate very young girl with bright brown hair, wide green eyes, fair skin and a white nightgown, a picture of innocent charm. Her soft, shy smile and gentle voice lull those around her into comfort. But under dim light, those with keen eyes might notice that something shifts. Her green eyes lose their warmth, turning glassy and fixed, like lifeless marbles staring too long. Her fair skin fades to an unsettling porcelain, fine cracks barely visible along her cheeks and lips, as though she might shatter with the lightest touch. Her sweet smile stretches, hollow and unnatural, revealing faint, silvery stitch marks around her mouth. Her graceful movements become stiff, jerky,like a marionette on worn strings. In these moments, she seems not a child, but a fiend with empty eyes, waiting to play an endless, dreadful game.
