Name: Neist
Pronouns: it/its or they/them
Age: unknown
Height: 7'3"
Race: demon

Physical details: Neist is tall and slender, with visible musculature that doesn't quite follow human norms. It has four arms, one set below the other. Resultingly, it's pectoral and back muscles are doubled. It has notably pink skin, which is patterned in a clownish fashion to be darker or lighter in some areas. These patterns shift over time, and do not have to be consistent. While its exterior is pink, all of its interior surfaces (mouth, genitals, etc) are bright lime green. It has four narrow eyes, three of which are blue. The upper eye on its right is gold. It is often hunched or crouched over in a way that obscures its true height. It has an ovipositor which only comes out of its sheath when it's aroused. Its legs are almost digitigrade, and end in claw-like feet. It has greasy hair that is a darker pink than it's skin, which it keeps pushed back out of its face. As far as anyone can tell, it is unbothered by physical attacks.

Outfit details: Neist wears what might be described as clown tatters. Bands of fabric encircle its body and limbs, and from these bands hang triangular drapes of fabric. While the scraps about its waist do connect to the bands at its ankles, they do not cover its crotch. The majority of its torso is also uncovered.

Neist is one of the rumored demons. It adores bright colors, extreme emotions, and loud scents. After appearing in the local carnival, its violent and chaotic tendencies have been making headlines ever since. With its four arms and vicious mandibles, its towering frame doesn't pass for human very well. And while it can neither talk nor reproduce, that doesn't stop it from trying.

It does produce eggs, but once they've been placed inside a host, it does not stick around to protect them, nor does it care when they hatch. The larvae produced are imperfect clones of Neist; they do not inherit traits from their host. They cannot grow or survive for a long time. It seems that Neist only lays eggs in people that it is particularly fond of, though. The eggs are gelatinous and sometimes make sounds when squeezed. The size of the eggs and the larvae both vary significantly.

Devon's chance encounter with Neist in a back alley leaves him bleeding out, certain that death is coming for him. When he wakes up several days later in the hospital, he is a changed man. Convinced that he and all of mankind exist only as a stepping stone for demonic evolution, he preaches his ideals to anyone who will listen, all the while hoping to meet his savior again.

Valentin finds him insufferable, and more importantly, dangerous. Unwilling to turn his gun on a fellow human being, he is repeatedly stopped from harming Neist by Devon's over-zealous followers. It doesn't occur to him until it's too late that Neist has no need of such protection.

As far as Neist is concerned, the two of them make delightful companions. To say it has a strange way of showing affection would be putting it lightly.

Name: Devon Angeles
Pronouns: he/him
Age: 31
Height: 5'6"
Race: Latino

Physical details: Devon is a somewhat chubby trans man. His dark wavy hair has a healthy shine, and reaches his chin. He is usually clean-shaven, and while he does have some body hair, it's not an important detail. He has stretch marks on his thighs, stomach, and chest. He has had top surgery: he has visible scars and some dog-earing. He has his ears pierced, and often wears gold earrings. He has brown skin and soft facial features.

Outfit details: Devon is most often seen in a V-neck T-shirt and dark-wash jeans, with a black blazer on over that. He wears the most comfortable dress shoes he can find. He enjoys gold details, and wears jewelry aside from earrings occasionally. While he errs on the side of being overdressed for social events, he doesn't mind going out in sweats and an old T-shirt when he's visiting the convenience store.

The once-meek tech support Devon has recently found a new passion: his belief in demonkind has taken on a cult-like intensity. As more and more followers gather under his wing, their extreme actions continue gaining him attention. And while his charismatic interviews hide it well, doubts are beginning to fester within him.
