(Time to bring Angel back! I’m in the mood to write him again, finally, though I want to focus more on his villain arc. Gonna revamp some things after I eat.)

V; The Bad Ending - The second main verse. Angel dies before he can find a way to escape his cursed destiny, and is resurrected as Leucis, Orcus’s top general. The sweet boy he was is dead, now replaced by a ruthless and evil sorcerer with soulless black eyes and a cruel sneer. He leads an army of undead in a campaign to conquer the world and shroud it in darkness, all for his master.

V; Prey Becomes Indomitable - Angel does find a way to break his curse, and begins heavily training himself in the Arcane Arts, becoming a powerful sorcerer. Determined to not let Orcus terrorize the world any longer, he sets out to kill the Demon Prince of Undeath…and succeeds. However, he feels a strong pull toward a now masterless weapon and an empty throne. Overcome by temptation, he picks up the Wand of Orcus. It quickly corrupts him, and he soon takes on a new title: Leucis Arkmenos, Demon Slayer and Prince of Undeath. He loses sight of everything he fought so hard for; freedom, beauty, love, truth, acceptance, equality, all dwarfed by the power he has, in his mind, rightfully taken. He becomes bitter and vengeful, killing most of his family and consigning the few survivors to eternal servitude before turning his wrath on the overworld.

V; Diamonds Are Forever - Strapped for coin and desperate for a way to stay off the streets during his quest to free himself from Orcus’s mark, Angel finds himself looking for work in The Enchanting Veil, a nightclub that hosts a variety of dancers, minstrels, and burlesque shows, as well as food, drink, and companionship for well-paying customers. After auditioning, his heavenly voice and allure as a dancer land him a job as a performer, and he quickly becomes a courtesan, as well. He learns a lot about himself here, and embraces his sexuality by taking both female and male clients. However, he still holds out hope that perhaps one of them will hold the key to ending his curse, and he stubbornly fights for his beliefs when the need arises. Given a chance to help someone who’s down on their luck, he will certainly take it without a second thought, which often gets him into a spot of trouble with the matron of the club, Madame Victoria Drannad. She worries that he’s going to get himself caught up in something that he can’t get himself out of.

V; Not Quite Broadway - Due to a ritual gone wrong, performed by a group of inept cultists who were trying to unleash a demon and make a pact with it, Angel is summoned from the streets of Waterdeep to the bustling modern metropolis of Gotham City. They try to make a contract with him, but he quickly explains that he is a Tiefling, not a Demon, and that he can’t be bound by a soul contract to a mortal. They then try to kill him, which goes very poorly for them, and Angel manages to escape their lair. Now he has to figure out a way to lay low and survive in a modern city that doesn’t rely on magic. Disguise Self works to keep people from screaming when they see him (I will use Laurie Davidson for an FC for his disguise), but the real challenge is to learn as much as he can about this world without causing suspicion.

{Open starter~}

“Are you sure you want to try that, mortal? Fighting back is unwise. I’d suggest that you go back home and cower in fear while we get on with our business. You might survive longer that way.”
