Appearance:
When he's in his human form, as he usually is when he's interacting with people, Mephisto is surprisingly normal looking. Brown hair, brown eyes, fairly tall. There's no hidden pair of horns, or weirdly coloured eyes, or pitchfork. He's actually pretty attractive, and uses it to his advantage.Picture:
Any, and all clothes he wears are designer label, and tailored specifically to him. He likes Armani suits, expensive watches, gold jewelry. All in all, he easily projects a wealthy, and well put together image.
Despite this, he has an awful tendancy to give off a sort of distressing or malevolent vibe. It's not very noticable when you first meet him, as his excellent charisma usually distracts people from him, but on repeated run-ins, it becomes very apparent. But that's okay, he doesn't usually meet the same people more than twice before revealing himself anyways.
In his demon form, he is quite a bit taller, almost a foot. And...well, he's big and demon-y, really. Massive black scaly wings on his back, fearsome claws on his hands and feet, spines down his back, feral looking teeth...All in all, quite a scary sight to behold for most people.
Human: Brad PittPersonality:
Demon: Like woah
Mephisto acts almost exactly like you would expect a demon to act. He's selfish, arrogant, two-faced, manipulative, vain and otherwise not a very nice person. Shocking, I know.Likes/Dislikes:
Anything and EVERYTHING he does is self serving. Himself comes before everybody and everything else, except his Lord, whom he will always defer to when asked. But other than that...He's practically second in command, and he doesn't take shit from lower demon forms, of which almost everybody else is, and he delights in reminding them of that fact.
When making a deal with Mephisto...Actually, it's really better that you don't. He will find the most obscure loophole to make it work to HIS advantage at all times, and really, his deals are never fair.
He enjoys, and goes out of his way to cause pain and harm to others. Mephisto is easily described as a sadist, and tells people that torture is a hobby of his. And it is, so try to avoid the torture chambers, okay? He's even willing to allow Radiant to claim a soul if he knows that the soul in question will be far worse off in her care. This goes mostly for demons, even ones under his command, as he finds soul screams to be scrumptious.
And yet, despite all of this, he's incredibly charismatic, and beyond smart. He comes across as a very well educated, well spoken man. He's smooth, and does quite a bit of talking. Of course, since he's been around since practically forever, he's got vast stores of knowledge to use. He's also very good at predicting what people do, after all he's been watching them for a millennium, and they all fall into the same mold eventually.
He enjoys taunting his victims, or just people in general, and always seems to be in a sort of morbidly upbeat mood. He rarely, if ever, loses his temper in public. He does kick Djinn rather often when he's upset though.

-Radiant
-Churches
-Priests/Monks/Nuns
-Catholics. He especially hates Catholics.
-He also has an irrational hatred of bread.
-And the pope. Go
ddamn that pope
-And wine. He drinks whiskey or brandy, or blood. Wine is disgusting, really.
-He hates, despises, and otherwise loathes all things Justin Timberlake. Which pretty much guarantees him a ticket into heaven, because there is no way in HELL Mephisto wants THAT around for all eternity.
Demon powers: Being a demon, Mephisto is awarded with all of the powers you would generally associate with a demon. He can project hellfire, command lower demons to do his bidding (in fact, he usually has a short, rather squat demon named Djinn that follows him around, and who he generally abuses a lot). He's also got a direct line to Satan, which comes in handy. He can also mark people of his own choosing for a special place in hell, whether or not they would be getting into heaven. Unless they're marked by Radiant first, when someone is marked by him, they're pretty much screwed after death.Weaknesses:
Emotional manipulator: A power that fits quite well in with his overall personality, Mephisto comes complete with emotional manipulation powers. Of course, he tends to use these to bring out the darker emotions in people, like jealousy, anger, sadness, loneliness, lust, depravity (if that's an emotion), etc.
Magic: Mephisto is a magic user. This gives him almost limitless potential, considering he has an awful lot of time on his hands to memorize spells and such. Smaller, simpler spells can easily be performed without him opening his mouth, but the more complex, the longer the incantation, and he usually has to say it out loud. He most often uses this ability to teleport between where he is, and where he wants to go, but he does a million little other things with it as well.
-Holy things, obviously. Crosses, holy water, religious relics, bibles...They all hurt him, a lot.Other Skills:
-If he uses enough power, he can lose control of his apperance. Not that he cares, a lot, but it's kind of annoying.
-He can be worn down. Of course, his stamina is about 5 times yours, but it's still a possibility!
-Mephisto prefers flight to fight, in all honesty. If he senses the tide of battle changing, he'll just...leave.
-When performing a particularly complicated or straining bit of magic, he can often leave himself in a rather vulnerable state. He usually plans ahead for this sort of thing, but in case he's really pressed...it can be a huge, huge weakness on his part.
Flexibility: Mephisto is adaptable. Unlike Radiant, who has rather rigid rules applying to who she works with, and when she does, Mephisto will easily slide from working with someone good, to someone evil, and back again, just as long as it suits him.History:
Experience: He's got a motherfucking boatload of experience going on. Anything you think is totally new and original, chances are, he'll probably know about it first. He can fight with swords and daggers and spears, and guns and whatever else you feel like throwing at him at the moment.
HE'S REALLY BLOODY OLD. HOW'S THAT FOR SOME HISTORY?!Other Characters:
