• Additional Info

  • As a demon, Rye naturally has black scleras, but having been on Earth his entire life has left him with the ability to keep them white. And over years it's as natural to him as breathing. However, should he be exhausted or malnourished, this illusion fades and his scleras fade back to black. And he's extremely self-conscious about them.
    
  • Rye is physically weak. He can't fight and tries to avoid any physical confrontation if he can help it. That being said, he has incredible pain tolerance. He may not be able to fight back or effectively defend himself, but whatever you're dealing, he can take it.
    
  • Being a demon, Rye does have abilities that come naturally to him. The first one he's ever noticed is his quick healing rate. Not Wolverine level of regenerative properties, but more subtle. For example, where it may take someone a week to recover from a wound, it'd take him 3-4 days. It helps when you're a hireable body!
    
  • Rye also has the ability to put people to sleep through touch. The more contact, the faster they fall asleep. It has to be focused on and takes considerable concentration. However, Rye sucks at it, mostly because he's still not entirely aware he has the ability. When the ability is fully evolved and practiced, it's possible to put an unprepared mind into slumber with a swipe of his fingers down the forehead.
    
  • He'll also be able to heal others through a kiss, but this is beyond his capabilities in his current state. He's VERY young for a demon, and can barely function as a living being, much less utilize abilities this complicated.
    
  • Being a demon gives him the obvious weaknesses to exorcists. Holy water burns like a bitch, the right Bible verse will banish him to Hell, and blessed weapons can kill him very easily. He has a good reason for fearing exorcists.
    
  • He can take physical pain, so if you really want to bring the Incubus to his knees, aim for mind games. As weak as he is in self-worth, it's possible to break him and even bend him for your will. This is a hit or miss, however.

  
  
  Now, about Rye's race...
  While I may have glanced over it, Rye IS an incubus, and being such comes with certain needs. That being said, it doesn't mean I'll force your character into anything or there has to be sexual content. Not only does Rye himself avoid pushing this side of his character onto anyone at risk of starving to death (especially in serious relationships), but I can always find ways around it. It's never a problem if you don't want any part of it. Rye IS capable of asexual relationships, he'd just need an outlet somewhere else as a matter of survival. It's NEVER required to have to have a sexual roleplay/experience/interaction/relationship with Rye, EVER. If it makes you uncomfortable, all you have to do is tell me ok? ;w;
  
  That ALSO being said, if you very much want to have that kind of scene, that's also totally okay. X'D I'm down with that too. Rye's kind of a versatile character in the first place, it's fine with me either way mmkay?
  
  Rye being an incubus was never meant as an excuse for mature roleplays, but more as an obstacle to the character, a way to torture him if you will. He hates what he is, and its a major source of his insecurities. He may have to have sex to survive, but that doesn't mean it has to be with your character in particular if you don't want it to. If you do, by golly that can be arranged if we're all kosher with it, but it's never ever EVER going to be required of you. I promise.

• Description

  His reference sheet is here on Deviantart.com for easy viewing and a more detailed background and explanation.
  
  Personality:
  Rye is a very free spirit with an open-minded view towards most everything. He's generally a good-inclined character, but he's also easily swayed and morals easily bent. Put him in the hands of a manipulative and intelligent person, and he can be molded to their will. If done right anyway. Even so, Rye doesn't classify things as strictly good and evil and doesn't strongly believe in much. He's also likely to jump into (or lured into) potentially dangerous situations, not out of trust, but sheer curiosity.
  Rye also has a disdain for other demons, especially other incubi/succubi. Exorcists too. As much as he hates them, the only thing he hates more is himself. Rye has a dangerously low sense of self-worth, but will cover it up with layers of sarcasm and deflection.
  Speaking of sarcasm, Rye can get along with most personalities, but he adores sarcasm. Anyone with enough wit and snarky remarks is bound to end up becoming fast friends with this idiot. He himself is a sarcastic little shit. When he's not busy coming up with smart-ass responses, he's flirting or being a nuisance. I wouldn't be surprised if he had imp somewhere along his bloodline.
  Rye's also secretly a total nerd.
  
  
  Appearance:
  He's fairly feminine, has a slight slouch to his posture. Very expressive, thin face. His pupils are slits due to him being a demon and get thinner when angry.
  While naturally he has black scleras, as all demons do, living on the human plane for so long has allowed him the ability to put up an illusion to make his scleras appear white. This allows him to live among other humans without anyone being the wiser, save for those who are trained to see through illusions of course.
  He also has a tail but keeps it hidden or tucked out of sight at all times. Perhaps he is also able to make it disappear? Tbh I haven't really figured that out despite him being super developed.
  His hair has a slight wave to it but is otherwise straight. It's black save for the very front strands and bangs, which are dyed white. Boi gotta keep up his style, ya feel?
  He has a thin, lithe, rather feminine body, and he's worked hard to keep it this way. He's fairly pale.
  He has one earring in his right ear, two on his left, a nose piercing, and nipple piercings he only wears sparingly. He has an intricate tattoo on his back of monochrome colored wings and lyrics tattooed on his right wrist.
