- Belial's Goal
Belial's only goal in life is to know everything, and he will do anything to do so, so he created an entire cult to worship him and gain more power. They worship him as the dark god of magic, a deity among deities. He is seen as lazy and uncaring, a logical god that cares for very few things. One of, if not the only thing this God cares about is the Fae creatures. Belial ADORES fae and love them very much, so much so that the few times he has shown his wrath has been against those who have committed mass genocide upon fey kind, of which he let down powerful magic upon them, leaving no trace of them left. Aside from such things he is usual Lazy and cares little for human affairs
- Belial's Form and Looks.
Belial's body is a confusing sort, the form he chooses to look like is often what a person would call, " an emo look" with black hair over one eye, a black cloak with many tricks and odd powers.he also wears eyeliner and mascara, which these also have the hidden ability to summon a couple of higher-level demons, he then has a pentagram lip piercing that is upside down, this can store spells, holding a total of a shocking 50 spells slots worth.he also wears heavy boots of levitation. All of his clothes are as black as night, leaving a lot of his body black. he also(though this part isn't important as a look)has a TON of runes etched onto the back of his teeth, that way he can use the blood in saliva to activate them if he for some reason loses his magical abilities. (these runes don't randomly go off because you have to press hard, and they are timed) His true appearance: His actual form is a small, glowing body with a fairly human form, his body is actually just a collection of memories. He is actually considered to be very cute and adorable in his glowing chibi form, looking much like a fairy, though he rarely used this form out of dignity for his persona.
- Standpoint With the Other Gods
He is often seen doing bizarre things that make little to no clear sense to others gods, he is seen as a lazy slacker who has all this power and easily froths with the saying " With great power, comes great bullshit" he is rarely serious about anything ever except about magic or indulging in things many find revolting, such as creating new drugs. he is almost always smoking some form of drug due to attempting to wash and forget anything about his duties, which he lays upon other gods, the only reason they don't confront him is that they fear his strength with magic. Many think it's the smoking habits that make him intolerable, but he actually takes things more seriously when he is smoking, as that all the tablets and stories with his bizarre quests have him without something to smoke. Although he is lazy, he is very fun and jolly with a joke for everything, the other gods enjoy his presence for this reason, and mostly this reason alone.
- Worshippers and Clerics
Some of fae, humans, and demons worship him as their god of magic. how do they pray to him? praying to him is actually rather simple and requires a lot of preparation, you would need a head of the devils' cabbage and you would have to offer it to him before he answers your prayer, the reason being is it's something he enjoys, a favor for a favor after all. The clerics are often lazy as well and simply wish to worship a god that is powerful but demands little of the, Belial's places of worship is anywhere a anywhere where this lots of vegetation of endulgance since he likes to see his clerics leading a lifestyle like his, why not live like a god as he would say.
- Quests
Belial doesn't have any premade quests or hooks, he just comes up with really bizzare tasks on the fly so he can watch people suffer through his strange sense of humor
- Artifacts
Belial has three artifacts, the amulet of true magic, this allows to he user to feel calm in any situation, as well as keep them tranquil at all times, effectively making one immune to the frightened condition. The other is the staff of true magic, this is a black staff with a large white crystal at the top, if you look closely it seems to have a magic eye within it, it adds a passive bonus of plus ten to damage and an extra damage die for magic attacks, though these don't seem to be around anymore, very few are left and only belial himself can make one. And finally there's the flute of belial, it has no combat prowess, for all it does it play a soft tune, all you have to do is ask it to play the song if it's people, it is a very soothing song almost like a lullaby, though use with cation, it can easily induce sleep.
