He is *old money*. A chain of very old, very discrete, and very smart investments, purchases, and identity verifiers (his fingerprints are the same in every body he ever makes, for example) gives him access to things he owns in a lot of places. He's not rich by any means, but he lives comfortably without having to really DO anything. Special Defense -- Frei is immune to human diseases both as a carrier and a victim, thanks to the slightly altered physiology of the bodies he inhabits. As a minor side-effect, he also can't reproduce; whatever gametes his current body produces literally have no chromosomes. "Strong Soul" -- Frei is succeptible to Exorcism as an extra-planar soul in a host body, but it's by no means EASY to do. He gets a +2 bonus to Soul checks to resist Exorcism attempts (basically ala Mind Shield) Reincarnation -- If Frei's body is destroyed on Earth, he'll eventually just form another one inside of a month or so. Sadly, he has no fine control over where that body can *appear*, and thus it's not terribly reliable. Someone determined to find it can perform a specific magic ritual to dowse the location, and a long and intense ceremony performed on the last two days of the month *can* stop the body from reforming. To be completely killed, Frei has to be killed in his home dimension. There are signs and portents for about 3-4 days in the location he reincarnates: sensitive people may get "bad vibes" from whatever abandoned building or crypt or whatever the body's forming in (astrally sensitive people can actually SEE it take shape over time), and the weather becomes unseasonably warm. He also always appears stark naked, which usually scares the bejeezus out of anyone he meets. Dynamic Powers -- Frei can't use all of his power through a host body, and if he tries to do too much at once, it usually tends to backfire in the form of the dark energy used to power a given spell going wild and having amusedly unpredictable and usually somewhat dangerous results. Personal Defect Points -------------------------------------------------------------- Easily Distracted (Beauty, fun or sexy stuff) +1 Famous (Among demon hunters/demons only, worldwide) +2 Involuntary Physical Change (Wings) +1 Marked (Silver hair, dark red eyes, wings) +2 Skeleton in the Closet (Uh... demon!) +2 Special Requirement (Human ecstacy) +1 Demonic Defect Points -------------------------------------------------------------- Achilles Heel (Holy-type attacks) +2 Nemesis (Demon Hunters) +3 Racism (Demon prince) +3 Exorcisable (Link to host broken) +2 Famous -- The demons of Frei's *particular* hell dimension bore REALLY easy. He's not the first of his kind to make forays into the Earthly realm in a host body. Thus demon hunters everywhere will know his 'aura', or if they hear his true name they'll be able to put a history to it. Of course, a number of extra-planars know of them too. Fun guys, wild at parties, not all there upstairs. Exorcisable -- Like any other extra-planar, Frei's host body can be shut down by Exorcism. Since it's not so much 'remote control' as it is his soul inhabiting that body. Exorcism forces said soul back to its actual body (in his home dimension) and thus the host sort of... shuts down: its eyes become glassy and it doesn't move in any way, but involuntary things like breathing still occur. After a while he can regain control, provided the body hasn't been irreperably harmed in some way in the meantime (at which point he starts making another one). Physical Change, Marked -- He has a pair of smallish black/red demon wings on his lower back, and a pair of similar and smaller wings, one on each side of his head (think Etna from Disgaea). Normally he hides these as tattoos (of wings on his back, and two dark red marks on his temples) but they come out if there's a holy symbol (of any faith) pressed to his skin (anywhere) or something of the sort (for example, holy water applied to him). His hair can't be dyed (it resists it) and his eye color shows through even colored contacts. This applies to any host body he makes. Special Requirement -- Although he's in a human shell, Frei is still an incubus by birth. About once a month he basically needs a rollicking good nightlong fucking to charge his batteries, so to speak; the type of energy humans give off in the throes of ecstacy is the same wavelength as what he needs to keep going, such as it is. In a pinch, a tawdry quickie can last him a week or two.

Let's just get that right off the bat. But he's not REALLY evil. Much. He was 'born' a few hundred years before the death of Christ, to a noble family of incubi and succubi who have occupied a very small but terribly well-off dimension, so to speak, tucked in a corner of the planes. The dimension has no name, but it is a bit of a demonic 'pleasure planet'. So as Risa is to ST:TNG, so is Frei's home to supernatural beings of all kinds. Whatever it is you want to find or do, you can at his home. It is called "Dark Eden" by frequent visitors. The Wrenneths, being the ruling family, are considerably powerful demons. One might wonder why the boy prince of a pleasure dimension would get it in his head to ever leave. The truth of the matter is that Frei is a victim, common among residents of Dark Eden, of grass greener syndrome. Once you've entertained your nine thousandth demon noble or sated your five hundredth easily-bored tentacle demon, you start to wonder if there's life beyond your cubicle. Most of the residents had to be content with extra-planar vacations to other demon realms, which is fine. But the nobles are veyr lucky; they can transmigrate into new bodies in really, really fun places. Like Earth. Frei's first body spawned in a small town just outside the area around the Milvian Bridge on October 28th, 313 AD: the very night that Constantine saw the cross in the sun that would later prompt him to form the Holy Roman Empire. From there it was just one big lifetime party after another. Frei was hooked on humanity the first time he tried it, and ever since has left Dark Eden in one human body after another, usually in 50-year jumps (after which the transmigrated bodies start to decay and he abandons them). He actually has a bit of a fetish for 'death' once a body has bored him. He's died in a few really spectacular fashions, up to and including being blown away by the Hiroshima H-bomb detonation, beheaded as a French noble, tortured to death by North Koreans, and in one case spent too long at a Northern Song-era Tibetan Tantric monastery orgy where only four people left alive. It would be impossible to track 1700 years of history, but it's safe to say that if a major historical event has occurred, Frei has been at it. He is unhealthily (in his parents' eyes) fascinated with humanity: their short lives mean they fill them to the absolute top before they die, and he finds that vibrance exciting and intensely erotic (he IS an incubus, after all). He is obsessed with beauty, though he is less shallow about it than one might think. Even a physically ugly person with an intense or vibrant personality is very attractive to him. Considering that the 'energy' that 'powers' his transmigrated forms, for lack of better terminology, comes from humans is most plentiful when they're in the throes of passion, this is lucky for him. Past Freis have not all been male. He remembers them all, though even an immortal has trouble keeping up with 1700 years of history. For a human it's an eternity; for him it passes much more quickly. Frei's driving motivation is amusement, or perhaps more accurately sensation. Pain and suffering are okay to him, as long as it's not boring. Tedium and repetitiveness make him pissy. As long as there's something new to see or enjoy or feel, he goes after it with gusto. Earth changes so fast that he is usually rarely disappointed. He allows himself to get involved with people or groups like SAB because they often have the most colorful, unique individuals; for him, the finest bouquet of wine. He's not necessarily *evil*. Evil implies an active desire to cause the suffering of others, and to Frei this is usually a counterproductive enterprise (unless they're into that sort of thing; he certainly can be when the mood strikes). He is, however, intensely amoral. The concept of "right" or "wrong" isn't black and white to him, it's non-existent. He does what he wants, and the results be damned if they hurt someone else. He loves humans and he enjoys being around them, but he doesn't necessarily respect their fundamental rights (generally speaking, personal space is the first one to go; he's very in-your-face). If he ever defends a human being from the results of his own actions, you can be sure it's either a whim, or because he's grown fond of that particular human and what they can do for him. Truth is, though, that there's a seed germinating deep inside his psyche of respect for humanity. He's not a "full-time" Earth resident; his parents (Magda the Many-Talented and Lord Parran the Long) would never allow that. But every hour he spends on a bed, or in a salon, or at a wild party in Dark Eden fulfilling his princely duties (the royal family has a bit of a curse: they're the most powerful, but that means they entertain the most powerful clients personally) brings him closer to realizing that demons, while long-lived and powerful, are actually REALLY BORING. They have narrow existences defined by their traditional roles and seem only want to fill their lives with the same-old, same-old. The more time he spends around humans, ever so slowly, the more Frei wants to be like them: ever-changing, striving for the future because of how little time they have left. Thus as the centuries speed by, he's becoming more and more like them, and putting himself farther and farther away from his birth race. Not that he notices it overmuch. Too busy having a good time.
