Personality: He has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and dyslexia, which are all relatively mild. The only psychopathic tendencies he shows are dishonesty, ruthlessness, a struggle with empathy, promiscuity, and a near inability of distinguishing between right and wrong. When it comes to those who abuse their power and influence, he can be quite exploitative of them, ensuring that they experience a fate worse than death. Despite having inedia, he possesses a ravenous appetite because he greatly fears the idea of dying from malnourishment or dehydration. As a result of his jadedness, he tends to get quite bored easily, so he needs a sufficient amount of entertaining stimulation. He shows a deep fondness for the company of women, striving to eagerly please them and attract their attention and admiration. He has an excessive sexual desire towards women that he finds to be beautiful both on the inside and outside. Despite his promiscuous nature, he treats women with high regard, viewing them as men’s perfect and irreplaceable equal.

He’s somewhat of a hedonist, spending a chunk of his free time in pursuit of self-indulgent pleasure. He has a raunchy sense of humour and can come off as a loudmouth, talking loudly in an unpleasant and stupid way. He lacks some worldly wisdom, which often plays into his credulousness and unchecked innocence of topics he doesn’t clearly understand. He’s clumsy when handling furniture and fragile items, and is irresponsibly playful, causing annoyances and trouble for fun. He’s capable of enduring physical and mental hardships without complaining and showing what he truly feels. He’s able to dive headfirst into danger without flinching, and can come off as impatient under certain circumstances. He lacks mindful attention and active, conscious knowledge on many things, especially if they’re noticeably complicated or are disinteresting. Luckily for him, he’s mentally bright, allowing him to quickly understand and learn unfamiliar topics. He’s eager to shed blood and immensely enjoys hurting and humiliating people who deserve to suffer. He’s extremely loyal and compassionate to people he deems as personally close to him, and can be a canny satirist.

Likes: Telling random facts about world history, kind and respectful women, making homemade alcoholic beverages with his grandfather, stargazing, treasure hunting, soapy baths, people combing his hair, pulling pranks, philosophical thinking, and tactical warfare

Dislikes: Cults, false ideologies, people who take religion or religious beliefs for granted, the extreme cold, blazing deserts, when his dogs don’t follow his orders, crucifixes, apocalyptic movies and literature, orgies, and the taste of blood

Physical and outfit appearance: He’s a 7’ 4” (223.52 cm) mesomorph with a trapezoidal figure, a chiselled musculature, broad shoulders, and prominent thighs. His grey-tinted sienna skin is snaked with dark red-violet veins and blackish freckles can be seen on the face, neck, chest, and hands. He has sunburst olivine-tradewind eyes with rose gold pupils and outlining, and his canines are sharp. He has shoulder-length pink blonde hair in a lived-in lob with faint streaks of magenta and light purple. He has the Ars Goetia sigil of Asmodeus carved into his back, healed cuts on his forearms and outer thighs, and a glaring scar on the left side of his forehead. The palm of his hands are severely burned due to handling hellfire, and his claws are painted with metallic purple nail polish. He carved a slight grin into his face, so it’ll be easier to “birth” whatever scavenger animal is coming out of his mouth.

When in his demonic form, one of his legs is a grotesquely muscular rooster and the other one is a blackish-red dragon. He has a coiled tail of a sunbeam snake, sagging breasts, the fur of an Asiatic lion, and sapphire draconic wings. He possesses three heads: that of his original face with a fiery breath (front), an Indian peacock (right), a male Oberhasli (left), and a Charolais cow (back).

In his casual clothing, he wears pinkish-grey bib overalls and glossy black combat boots with purple gold spikes. He dons a brown mustard fleece poncho with vertical lines of pumpkin orange, seafoam, indigo, and rich raspberry. He wears a black sombrero with a silky red-violet ribbon, an orange rust T-shirt, and a flannel shirt of soft purple, hot pink, and saffron-yellow. Whenever he’s hunting, he dons blaze orange vest, waterproof olive-brown boots, a greenish-black T-shirt, and a light jacket and trousers in earth-tone camouflage patterns. Hanging from his neck is a silver dog tag with his grandfather’s name, Porfirio, and a gold-plated necklace of the Sacred Heart in red zircon. He often dons his most favourite and only pair of sunglasses, which is a purplish-black with orange-tinted lenses.

As a soldier, he dons a dull bronze-hued M40 field protective mask with purple-tinted eyepieces and glossy dark purple jump boots. His spike-covered pauldrons, snake-scaled vambraces, feathery gorget, and gauntlets with razor-sharp claws are a worn gold drenched in angelic blood. He has an olive-brown WWII paratrooper package with a cartridge belt, combat suspenders, a musette bag, a canteen cover, and first aid pouch. He wears military jump trousers of olive-brown, a 506th paratrooper helmet of metallic green-orange colouration, and a purplish-red US WWII M41 field jacket. Underneath his uniform, he has a reddish-black bulletproof vest that is also immune to weak spiritual and physical attacks.

Family:

Astaroth (father)

Unnamed Mexican-American mother

Porfirio Sepúlveda (grandfather)

Daphne (grandmother)

Biography: His mother was impregnated by Astaroth, an ancient demon, and gave birth to him, being raised by a group of religious zealots. This New Mexico cult was called The Evanescent Ophidian and they vehemently worshipped Astaroth, viewing him as a legitimate god. Due to being the biological son of this “god”, the cultists deemed Maverick as the fated saviour of humanity and the embodiment of lust, naming him Asmodeus. He was forced to participate in blood rituals and sexual orgies that were all done in the name of their false god. He was treated as an object of desire and an incarnation of Astaroth’s will than a normal person with human dignity. The cult leader was referred to as The Serpent-Holder or Her Serpentine and had many husbands, but killed every single one of them out of disinterest or tried to challenge her worldview. She took particular interest in Maverick, viewing him as an asset to gain more followers and brainwash them into servitude. When he was a tween, she carved the sigil of Asmodeus on his back and told him that this will create a bond between the cult and the underworld. However, that was a lie as she only did it to sexually appease her sadistic desires and try to gain more attention from his father. She’s deeply jealous that Astaroth chose his mother rather than her because she felt as though it would validate her narcissism and need to cleanse humanity of their depravities.

His mother was the most sound-minded member of the cult, taking her parental responsibilities seriously and trying her best to nurture him. She wasn’t treated with the same respect as he and the other cultists received due to some nasty rumours that involved her, contributing to her inferiority complex and depression. She viewed Maverick as a form of false hope and an incarnation of the cult’s worst qualities and their cynical, patronising view on humanity. Despite these biases, her down-to-earth demeanour never faltered as he’s the only reason she’s still alive. She combed his hair and bathed him in soapy water on a daily basis, while providing him edible and drinkable sustenance. She also patched up any injuries he received and taught him many life lessons and random facts about history. However, the cult put heavy restrictions on the amount of food and water that was shared, and what knowledge was allowed to be shared. It made it difficult for his mother as she was often forced to starve and dehydrate herself in order to keep him alive and please the cult. She secretly got away with sharing “forbidden” knowledge, which revealed to him the amoral nature of the cult and their contradictory beliefs.

Once he became a young adult, his mother planned an escape plan and was able to notify her father through a payphone outside of the complex about the entire situation. Unfortunately, she was dying from malnourishment and one of the cultists caught wind of this escape plan. The Evanescent Ophidian would end up flaying her alive and nailing her to a cross, which is all done under The Serpent-Holder’s order. The Serpent-Holder knew this would be the end of her cult, but she didn’t want to give up a valuable asset and tried to force him to love her out of desperation. When he disobeyed her, she struck him on the side of his forehead with the back end of a hammer, which surprisingly didn’t kill him. Before she could hurt him even further, Sister Rosa and some of Demaryius’ troops raided the building. They killed all of the cultists and The Serpent-Holder tried to put up a fight, which gave Sister Rosa the chance to save Maverick. Sister Rosa brought him to his grandfather’s home somewhere in Vermont before she had to head back to Homeworld with Demaryius’ troops.

He was originally afraid and uncertain around his grandfather, Porfirio Sepúlveda, due to how most of the other adults treated him at the complex. Overtime, he warmed up to Porfirio as he went out of his way to treat his grandson with genuine tenderness and compassion. Porfirio would raise him, confidently teaching him about the bad side of religion and the history and art of war. He also taught him how to survive in the wilderness and important farming techniques. Porfirio would occasionally tell him stories about his late grandmother, Daphne, and how wonderful she was. Once in a while, Sister Rosa would check up on him, making sure that he’s doing okay as she understands how it was like to be raised in a cult. Later on in his adult years, he went through numerous jobs and relationships to varying degrees of success and enjoyment. With the help of Porfirio and Sister Rosa, he would eventually be accepted into Demaryius’ army. He joined his army because he believes that humanity deserves to be given a second chance and Porfirio sparked his interest in warfare and camaraderie.

Fun facts:

Porfirio and, by extension, Demaryius renamed Asmodues to Maverick Sepúlveda in order to help him move on from the atrocities that the cult put him through.

Porfirio was a war veteran and his hearing isn’t the greatest

Maverick and Porfirio are followers of Demaryius

Despite not being an official child of Demaryius, he considers him as one of his own

Whenever a rose has withered away or has been destroyed, Demaryius occasionally asks him to bring it back to life.

He sees Demaryius as the true saviour of humanity with a compassionate heart and a willingness to protect his children. He also views him as a tragic, melancholic, and overworked individual who should be more careful with handling his mental health. He’s happy to know that Demaryius has found love in the form of Maku, seeing him as a perfect counterpart to the magnificent, sorrowful god.

He aids in teaching the older children of Demaryius how to wield guns and explosives, and to grow their own food.

Sister Rosa and Porfirio are the two main people who sparked his interest in weapons

He likes to take a smoke break with Sister Rosa once in a blue moon

He views Sister Rosa as a hard-working, trustworthy sister figure with a great deal of independence and passion in her work. He greatly empathises with her struggles due to their formal connections with cults and how they were abused by them.

Whenever Maverick does anything stupid like say something inappropriate around the younger children or break an item that belongs to Demaryius by accident, he and Sister Rosa start bickering with one another like siblings.

He sees Koi as a pretty cool person, admiring how she’s able to keep up a more happy-go-lucky outlook on life.

He really likes her mischievous nature, so he would occasionally team up with Koi to pull goofy pranks on the older children of Demaryius.

He’s not very familiar with Kianna as he rarely sees her and interacts with her, but he feels a sense of uneasiness around her. He respectfully understands that she has trust issues with men and her childhood was rough. So, he tries to stay away from her because he deeply fears that one wrong word or action near her or directed at her would lead him to serious trouble.

He has no genitals, which technically makes him sexless

He has a habit of hoarding guns, explosives, bear traps, fishnets, and hunting knives

He performs Feng Shui on a regular basis in order to calm down his nerves

His favourite entertainment consist of slasher films, Lovecraftian horror comics, videos from the Dark Web, televised news, dance parties, karaoke nights, heavy metal rock band concerts, and serial killer documentaries.

He drools a lot whenever he’s smiling like a madman

He hates it when people refer to him by his old name

He owns eight dogs: Nebrophonos (Estrela Mountain Dog), Ichnobatus (Pyrenean Mastiff), Therodanapis (Akita), Oxyrhoe (Swedish Vallhund), Argiodus (Blue Lacy), Melanchaetes (Majorca Shepherd Dog), Oresitrophos (Czechoslovakian Wolfdog), and Amarynthus (Indian pariah dog).

He enjoys drinking craft beers, ponche navideño, sparkling rhubarb cocktails, frozen margaritas, and goat milk

He likes to eat ground beef stroganoff with pizza bagels, cooked turkey, and enchiladas

He often flirts with Miss Katherine despite her being aromantic asexual and believing that he’s being super nice.

He views Percy as his closest friend

He often gets into random arguments with Svyatopolk over the smallest of things

One time, he jokingly flirted with Svyatopolk because he was feeling particularly mischievous that day and needed something fun to do. After Koi told Svyatopolk that Maverick is not interested in men and he was playing him for a fool, a massive fight broke out between the two.

Despite being secretly afraid of Rhodopis, he likes to tease them about their height and occasional snarky attitude.

He hates it when Rhodopis teases him about lacking proper genitals
