appearance

Ir has 2 heads, 3 arms, and 6 legs in a taur fashion. Their arms and legs are both arranged in rows of 3, rather than 2. They have soft, charcoal-colored skin, round 3-toed feet, and polydactyl hands (their middle one is mirrored, with a thumb on each side).

Ir's heads are both mouthless, and featuring yellow eyes with large black pupils, but that's where the similarities stop.

Their left head has 3 eyes; two are positioned normally, but the last one is centered above the others, and rotated. That head's left eye has a tear-shaped marking, while its right one has some resembling eyelashes on the bottom. Its "hair" is a flat, folded band positioned like a ponytail, ending with a crowbar-like indent. Where it joins the back of the head is an yellow asterisk-shaped symbol. Finally, a yellow halo floats above this head.

Their right head has two floating triangles of "hair" on top, and a streak of shoulder-length "hair" on its right side. It has two functional eyes, on its left side, stacked vertically; the bottom one has markings similar to that of a wedjat eye. On this head's right side, a flat, vertical, floating yellow rectangle features a decorative closed eye with eyelashes.

past

Ir, as a demon with unparalleled perception, has been a favorite of many a secret circle in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They've never been fully comfortable with their possession ability, but summoners kept requesting it from them, to obtain greater knowledge of themselves, their enemies, and the universe. Eventually, Ir had enough of this, and went back to their native grounds for the entire half of the 20th century.

Once they returned to Earth, they found out that not only secret circles as they knew them had entirely disappeared, but that they had been replaced with a plethora of ridiculous beliefs, from white women claiming to perceive souls in crystals to international cult leaders promising to "liberate your quantum essences".

present

In this modern world, after a long rest in a familiar but remote place, Ir has neither a place nor warlocks anymore. Finding new ones among the conmen and conned men of today will not be an easy task, and selling the idea of occult knowledge in an era of unprecedented scientific advancement will only make for a greater challenge. But with the help of their best friend Galahim, and a lot of patience, surely some worthy souls shall get in touch.

...if Ir ever builds up the courage and executive function to read their emails, that is.

abilities

As a demon, Ir is a perceiver and revealer of secrets, truths and patterns that are normally inaccessible to mortals. Though they don't always show it, they are perpetually bathing in seas of extrasensory information, such as auras, fates and wishes. However, they do not know how to process those well, and as such are easily overwhelmed.

To express themself, Ir most often uses a personal AAC tablet made of an unknown material of the same yellow color as their eyes. It is loaded with a variety of (often distorted) human speech sounds, all coming from unique voices. Alternatively, it can produce text and images as floating runes.

Ir can also possess people, to use their voices and facial expressions as their own. When they do so, the possessed person's eyes become pitch black, and their mouth and eyes start oozing a dark, inky liquid. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, Ir often closes some of their own eyes as their vision extends with someone else's. People Ir has possessed report a feeling of becoming a comfortable spectator of their own body, like being in a lucid dream. However, Ir refuses to use this ability without clear consent, unless it's absolutely necessary.

trivia

After being recommended to get one by Galahim, Ir has obtained a formal autism diagnosis. Possessing the assessing psychiatrist and directly beaming their thoughts onto his mind seemed to do the trick in a single session, though it scarred said psychiatrist with permanent synesthesia inverting his touch and hearing.

Ir can actually grow mouths, but only ever does so to eat and drink.

Ir has a history of panic-possessing nearby people when having a meltdown, attempting to dilute emotional/sensory overload across several bodies.

Ir loves to dance. They haven't bothered learning any existing moves, and their motor control issues can make it difficult, but that doesn't prevent them from moving their many limbs in rhythm and deeply enjoying it!
