Goddess of Discord and Strife

Although she really detested the name Eris, Morrigan nevertheless recounts those days serving as Greece's goddess her earliest memories. But she does know that she wasn't created as the goddess, perhaps her master had other uses for her beyond that pantheon of divinity. Nevertheless, she walked with gleeful pleasure down the streets of blood-soaked Troy, delighting in the carnage and ease by which mortal men were swayed. After that titanic bloodbath, she moved on to the rest of the world, causing mischief where it pleased her. She gloried in the destruction of war, the chaos and discord caused by men turning upon each other, and with every drop of blood shed she grew stronger, until finally she came up against an adversary she could not manipulate or destroy. The Archangel Michael. With one strike of the flaming sword of judgment, he smote her to the plains of Gehenna, trapping her there for all eternity. Screaming in rage and hatred, Eris vowed to get her revenge upon the archangel for spoiling her fun, but she was unable to assail the gates of Hell to return to Earth. Hardly allowing that simple fact to be a deterrent, Eris rapidly adjusted her way of thinking and began to scheme. She shed the old name of Eris and adopted her current name of Morrigan, again associating herself with war and chaos. Evaluating her situation, she quickly realized she was going to have to have a lot of power and/or back up to break out of Hell, much less take down that damned archangel. Thus began her ascendancy up the ladder of the demonic. Ruthless, unscrupulous, driven and very, very, very focused, Morrigan finally caught the eye of Lucifer himself, who, perhaps on a whim, granted her access to leave Gehenna and once more move among the world in a human shell, causing what havoc and ruckus she could. And, as she had done on the streets of doomed Troy, Morrigan excelled at her work. So much that the Morning Star eventually realized what a capable agent he had under his command and came to regard her as one of his favorites. Nevertheless, Morrigan never forgot her ultimate goal. To strike down that vulture with wings who'd made her life miserable in the first place. However, as the centuries rolled along, she finally discovered that there was no way she'd ever be able to attain enough power to destroy Heaven's Prince, unless... ...she were to destroy Michael's brother and assume his place. Verse: None at present. Abilities: - Telepathy/telekinesis - Summon hoardes of demons loyal to her, summon nightmares/fellsteeds - Power of high suggestion - Mind control on the weaker willed - Teleportation/levitation - Can destroy angels of weaker ranks, only has trouble dealing with the higher triumvirate - Weapon: a whip made of fire which has the ability to deal serious damage, even to angels. If she's feeling very energetic, she'll summon two, and both have a ten foot lash, which makes them dangerous indeed. Quirks: - Grade A BITCH. - Likes the "finer things" in life. - Absolutely completely loathes Michael - Fondness for dirty vodka martinis - Very mercurial temperament; one moment eating flesh with her bare hands, the next moment, laughing and drinking in a bar somewhere with the humans, ect. - Generally keeps up-to-date on modern trends, because honestly, one can't go around causing trouble if one looks and sounds like "ye olde imbecile" More to come as adventures warrant...
