~Lucifer Morningstar – Respect Thread~
Because of the fact that the other respect thread doesn’t contain many of his showings and the fact that it’s not organized properly, I’ve decided to remake it.
Any debate concerning what’s presented here won’t be taking place in this thread. If you have a different opinion, make a thread and we’ll discuss it there.
With that said, let’s get started ..
Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel are created, each of them being assigned certain roles. From the start, Lucifer, of course, doesn’t accept this.
Ibriel requests Lucifer to make a „fountain of fire, endlessly upwelling” which he says Lucifer could do with a gesture. After Ibriel’s death, Lucifer rebels. and builts the fountain „And look, the Sun is rising, and you cannot stop it. All the Suns of all the Worlds in fact. Set the children free or those suns will dance in this fountain, and the ashes of your holiness will mix with the ashes of your city.” When Gabriel asks him if he dares challenge him in front of the host, Lucifer tells him he is „like a drop of dew on a leaf”.He then leaves along with those who follow him
Then the war in Heaven follows. Despite the fact that his [b]„Strength is broken”[b] and his armies routed, he still continues to fight. Then God comes and offers him a realm to rull, Hell. He also allows Mazikeen, daughter of the lilith to serve him, who will have an important role later in the story.
Sandman (Morpheus), the Lord of Dreams, goes to hell to talk to Lucifer.
„I watched him even then as he fell, his face undefeated, his eyes still proud.”
Apparently Lucifer is aware of the „battle” between God and the
”Dark, the Shadow Creature”(Great Evil Beast).
After recovering his helmet, Sandman angers Lucifer, who says that one day he will destroy Morpheus
Sandman decides to go to hell to return Nada, a woman who long time ago he had a relationship which, in the end, resulted with her death. He takes special preparations because he is aware that he can be killed or captured if he confronts Lucifer. [i]
[i]He describes Lucifer as „He was the creator’s finest creation, the angel Samael, called Lucifer. It means „the bringer of light”. Of all the angels he was the wisest, the most beautiful, the most powerfull. Saving his creator, he is perhaps the most powerfull being there is.” He even says that Lucifer is more powerfull by him by far.
Sandman sends Cain, who is under the protection of God. to tell Lucifer that he will be arriving in Hell. Lucifer doesn’t really care about the mark, and thinks it’s actually funny. He also explains the fact that he’s having fun seeing lesser demons proclame themselves lords of hell to end up destroying eachother and says that his only superior is God.
Sandman goes to hell and even equiped and prepared he is afraid of Lucifer who swears he won’t harm him within hell’s bounds. Lucifer then tells him that he quits his role as hell’s ruler. He secures hell and confirms the fact that he more powerfull than all of the demonkind and that he was just having fun with them until he got bored and didn’t care anymore. He then asks Morpheus to cut his wings and leaves him the key to hell
Lucifer is asked by heaven to intervene against a force that is fulfilling wishes on Earth. In order to do this, he asks a letter of passage
He threatens Remiel that he will humiliate him in front of a third of the infernal host if he doesn’t let him inside
He makes a guy impotent for his lack of respect
Since they are going to play an important role in the story, I’m going to describe what the Basanos actually are.
They were created by Meleos after Destiny allowed him to examen his book.
„Readers and Recorders of Destiny, but with a living thing’s freedom to decide and act. If reality is a magic lantern show, they are the lenses through which all the infinit possibilities of shape and colour are focused. […] to make them finite, in that respect at least”
Lucifer suggests that the power of the Basanos is limitless : „But in the hands of a willful child, even the power of the Basanos is limited”
The Basanos choose Jill Presto as their „host” and a short demonstration of power follows. „Like she’s holding a remote control in her hands and it works the world[…This is what God felt like when he made the world…She can see their lives…What they are and were and could be…And inside them..in their minds. She can see that too…There are no barriers, no disguises, there’s nothing she can’t see.
Lucifer summons them and compells them to do what he wants after defeating them with a little help from Mazikeen. „The cards seem to know they can’t win by direct attack”.
He goes to Izanami’s realm in order to recover his wings. Once there, he must abandon his power, and his clothes. „These are the rules. They are not his rules”.
At the gate he is told that in order to enter he will have a play a game. And he does ..
„Mortal or not, he is Lucifer. It is folly to underestimate him”
Using his intelligence, Lucifer survives the dinner and angers the brothers. One of them, angered by this, renounces his ties of blood and goes to challenge Lucifer. „He has his sword and his strength. And the advantage of familiar ground. …. That is so. And the lightbringer has nothing save his wit and will. I fiind that this fails to console me very overmuch.
He captures the last brother and using him gets to Izanami. There, he threatens her until she has no choice to give him his wings.
The wings have „healed”, taking their original form. Izanami poisons his wings withotu Lucifer knowing, which will be important later in the story. He then gets back his wings and leaves.
