Addule "Addy" [A-duh-lay] is a bonded wind demon who is currently a DEVIL research subject. He was formerly recruited to the DAMMED program and is bonded to Winter Moon Tamashevska.

Personality

Flighty and socially inept. He's gradually developing a sense of self-worth but it's slow going and he easily relapses into meekness and self-deprecation. He has a tendency to over-think and tries to distance himself from his thoughts by keeping himself busy.

By and large Addy mistrusts people deeply, but he has a tendency to become blinded to the faults of individuals he holds close to his heart. He is fiercely protective of them and is prone to outbursts of violence usually triggered when he feels they are threatened.

Background

Pre-bond

Addy grew up in mountains among a sizable demon colony. Most of his time went into catching up with the fast-moving group; the rest was spent ignored or bullied. One day, he bit off more than he could chew navigating an unexpectedly nasty storm alone and got knocked out of the sky. He landed close to a human town with a broken wing for his pains and was soon discovered. He was by DAMMED personelle, captured and restored to full health for the program.

Post-bond

Years 1+2

He was bonded to Winter Moon Tamashevska and instantly began to love her, because she was nice to him. Several months in, a demon who'd broken into base almost killed his partner. Since then, he pushed himself to improve through harsh sparring matches, landing him many injuries and several punishments.

Year 3

He participated in the sub-basement exploration and was left uncertain of the DAMMED program and worried for his partner. There was scarcely any time to readjust before he was sent off to the wilderness as a member of the Clubs ♣ team.

Year 4

When he discovered Gilbert had bonded, he sought revenge and attacked him. This didn't go too well, and he was forced to room with the demon as punishment. Anger turned to irrational fear, and it kept him quiet until the Siren's shooting, where he had a minor breakdown at her murder. He lost what little faith he had in DAMMED, and wasn't at all surprised by the time they got piled on a ship to Facility 66.

After the ship was intercepted and they wound up on the island, his bond went into a steady downward spiral. At almost the same time, an encounter with with Gilbert positively recoloured his perception of the demon. In a bizarre turn of events, Gilbert ended up a close friend and later lover as his relationship with Winter steadily worsened.

After almost a year on the island, Addy'd gotten pretty comfortable with his environment. He was more than a little dismayed at the bonded's capture and shipment to Facility 66, but has accepted his fate with resignation.

Passive

• Air Resistance Regulation: Species ability. Reduces the body's wind drag for greater speed.

• Wind Current Sensing: Species ability. He is able to "see" currents of air and gauge their temperature and pressure.

Physiology

Demon Form

See species page for more information.

His bones are hollow, springy and light and his muscles are very lean, but strong. His demon form posses large-than-average lungs and a heart that beats ridiculously fast. His ears are large and sensitive. His other senses are also quite sharp. He produces a paralytic venom which can cause muscle function to decrease within minutes. Is injected via the sting on his tail or a bite from his teeth, though the latter is less potent. His jaws are capable of crushing bones, and a bite from him can be devastating between that and the venom.

Human Form

His human form retains an accelerated heart rate, lean muscles and hollow bones. His toxin is far less potent and his hearing less sharp. He possesses sharp claws and teeth, but a bite in this form administers almost no venom at all. While not as fragile as his demon form, his bones are still far more easily broken than a human's. Fortunately he heals quickly.

Relationships

Winter Moon Tamashevska

She was the first to show him kindness and was the first person he ever cared about. Even as she grew more and more sour as time passed, he still though her amazing and clung to saccharine memories of her he'd formed to help him cope.

Their time on the island saw their bond become especially strained and shortly before their capture, he began to see Winter more as her own person rather than the idealized version of her he'd come up with. He still loves her, but doesn't know how to relate with her and now prefers to leave her to her own devices.
