Chapter 5 - Agiel Murmur

DesignHeight: 4'9" (145 cm) – Comparable in size to a young child, though his demon transformation gives him an appearance that is more mature and athletic.

Weight: 80 lbs (~36 kg) – His form is lean but muscular, befitting his warrior-mage attire.

Build: Agile and compact, designed for speed and mobility rather than sheer strength.

Clothing: His outfit consists of mage-like robes interwoven with warrior armor pieces that are more symbolic than practical. He wears light leather armor over his chest, arms, and legs, adorned with arcane markings. His clothing is ripped at the edges, and a small cloak (similar to a child's cape) drapes behind him, a mixture of red and brown tones.

Eyes:Brown – the color of dirt, with an earthy quality, reflecting his connection to the world even in his new form.

Personality

Lovely and Playful: Agiel retains the innocence of a child despite his transformation into a demon. He has an easy smile and loves to laugh, finding joy in small things.

Brave and Determined: He is far braver than most, and unlike Asriel, he is willing to fight for those he loves. His courage allows him to step up and defend even when the odds are against him.

Energetic: Always moving, playing, and full of youthful energy. Agiel tries to keep a positive attitude, even in the face of the darkness that surrounds him.

Loyal and Protective: Agiel is fiercely protective of Charun, viewing her almost like a sister. Their bond is strong and provides both of them with comfort amidst the chaos.

Backstory

Agiel was just a young child when the Demon King's attack ravaged his village. His life was cut short, and he was killed quickly during the onslaught. However, a curse spell transformed him into a demon, turning him into a shadow of his former self. As a demon, he was led along with other villagers who had been transformed and pushed into the Underground.

Daeva, now a demon herself, immediately recognized her son despite his altered appearance. She moved to comfort him, and they eventually traveled deeper into the Underground, where they were trapped. Charun, a young girl who fell into the Underground later, became an important figure for Agiel. Initially unsure of the situation, Agiel's bond with Charun grew as they began to understand each other, both struggling with their new existence in a place that was far from home.

After some time, Agiel wandered off in search of answers. He believed that there might be a way out of the Underground or a way to restore the lost memories of those who had been turned into demons. During his journey, Agiel lost track of Charun but later found her being subjected to Murmur's cruel experiments. This was a breaking point for Agiel. Unable to control his emotions, he charged at Murmur, weakly striking him in a desperate attempt to save Charun.

Murmur, uninterested in Agiel's outburst, easily overpowered him and began experimenting on Agiel, causing his body to deteriorate. The experiments ultimately shattered Agiel's demon core, leading to his death. Murmur carelessly discarded his remains, leaving Agiel's bones behind like trash.

Hours later, a blue flicker of light ignited within Agiel's skull eye sockets. The blue pupils flickered to life, and Agiel's soul was reborn as Skully, a cursed entity bound to the Underground.

Abilities

Physical Agility: As a demon child, Agiel has enhanced agility and speed, but lacks full magical abilities like many other demons. His demon form gives him slightly heightened endurance, but he is still physically weaker than full-grown demons.

Basic Combat Skills: Though Agiel is still a child and lacks the extensive training of a seasoned warrior, his demon transformation grants him basic combat abilities, such as enhanced strength and reflexes, which he can use to fight back when necessary. His attacks, while not as powerful as adult demons, still carry some impact.

Emotional Burst: Agiel's strongest attacks come from his emotional surges. In moments of extreme anger or fear, his energy spikes, giving him temporary bursts of strength and power.

Basic Defensive Abilities: He has some limited defensive skills as a demon, such as the ability to instinctively block attacks with his forearms or leap out of danger. However, these abilities are not fully developed due to his childlike nature.

Demon Resilience: Being a demon, Agiel is immortal and cannot be killed by conventional means. However, his vulnerability lies in his emotional instability, as his core is delicate and can shatter under the wrong circumstances.
