As the author enters the damp hall full of doors, light seeps from beneath one and strangled sounds of struggle can be heard... Nope, no one ever wants to talk to the author, it’s always the characters who get all the attention.
We believe your character may be involved in suspicious activity. When and where is the last time you saw your character? Naturally. Last time I saw Ashur (he likes the full title, but, please, it’s a tongue twister) he was romancing a pretty rich gal in New York City. He was also flipping around a fancy blade that looked like it could do some real damage.
For the record, can you please say and spell your characters full name and any known aliases. He’s Ashuriel the Black. He got the nickname Stealer of Souls because, well, he steals souls from dead Fallen angels. And Master of Dethnyht is because Dethnyht is what he named his dagger. Heh. Dude named his dagger. Ha! If you’re wondering what he is, he’s a Sinistari demon, forged specifically for the purpose of slaying fallen angels.
Do know where your character may be now? Like I said, New York, or maybe Italy. The chick he likes has a villa in the Italian countryside. Ashur likes nature, but he also likes having a private place to spend time with his girl, Eden.
Can you please give a brief description of your character? Too tall, shoulders broad enough to carry a woman on each side, midnight hair that dusts his ears. A cocky attitude that matches his sexy grin.
Do you have a recent picture of the subject? I do have a pic of him in mortal form, and one that pretty closely depicts his demonic form when he’s wearing armor of ineffable substance to fight the Fallen. It doesn’t show his horns, but I promise they are very stylish.
What was the demeanor of the subject like when you last met? Very out of the ordinary. He’d dropped his usual alert demeanor, always ready for approaching danger, and was actually smiling and laughing with Eden. As if, he enjoyed spending time with a mortal woman! Must be the Sinistari demon’s insistent desire for sin. He was merely lusting after her, surely. Couldn’t have been love. Maybe. Hmm..
Have they been fraternizing with anyone new as of late? Just Eden. The man has a one-woman mindset.
Do you know your character intimately? I know that Ashur fell to earth thousands of years ago, during biblical times. Now, I can’t really explain that part, because his most recent Summons to earth brought him up from Beneath, but know that he comes from divine origins. As a Sinistari, he’s been sent to slay Fallen intent on harming mortal muses (women who can bear the Fallen’s nephilim child) because if nephilim ever walks the earth, the apocalypse will come. One thing about the Sinistari though, they thrive on sin. They need to steal, gamble, lust, and do anything deemed wrong. It is how the demon survives. Love is their only sin. If Ashur were to fall in love, there’d be literal Hell to pay.
We found this with your characters prints on it. Can you please tell me what it is? Dethnyht. That’s a blade forged from divine substance that has fallen directly from Above. It is given to the Sinistari after the demon is forged, and together they can slay an angel. Have you heard that only an angel can slay an angel...? ;-)
Is there anything else you think may be helpful? I do know the guy likes his Mexican food. Tacos, specifically. So if you see him storming toward you, and want to distract him, maybe toss him a few tacos. Unless of course, you don’t mind a handsome warrior demon rushing toward you with lust in his eyes. :-)
If we our associates have any further questions, where can you be found? Heh. Certainly not out soaking up the sun. I’ll be inside all summer getting to know my latest Fallen hero, Samandiriel. So if you pass a really pale chick in the grocery store that is in desperate need of the sun... that would be moi. Website:
