Entry for ~kinwayuu's contest. This is my entry, Sangre.

Story Option A: A human who wants to learn sorcery and trespasses into the realms of the underworld and seeks refuge with Io.

Opening line: "Please don't eat me! I swear I taste horrible!"

Name: Sangre
Age: 15
Backstory: To put it in the simplest terms, Sangre has awful luck. His father was a bit of a crack pot second rate magician, but before he died he willed a special necklace to Sangre. When Sangre put it on, it turned out that the necklace was more a curse than a blessing. He became possessed by a salamander spirit. And worse than that, a sarcastic, cynical and downright mean salamander spirit. Sure, Sangre got nifty powers over fire, but he has no control over it sometimes, especially when he's nervous. It got to the point where Sangre couldn't get the least bit nervous without something catching on fire. Usually his clothes.

He stumbled on the portal the the underworld pretty much by chance, though he managed to get enough information out of the salamander to tell him that a demon sorcerer might be able to teach him control. He didn't think twice about jumping through and ended up in Ioannes territory. Sangre knew absolutely nothing about demons (and the salamander didn't feel like telling him anything) so he sought out shelter with Io just in case demons liked eating humans.

Personality: He's a rather panic prone sort of guy. He's a bit touchy on certain things, and demons tend to scare him quite a bit. He's rather honest, though and tries not to take things at face value. Of course, he comes off as being as crazy as his father sometimes since he has conversations with salamander when other people are around.

Notes: He'll sometimes where fake horns and a tail if he's got to be around multiple demons, it's his kind of a security blanket.

It's not visible in this picture, but he has really long hair held in a ponytail.
