ABOUT JACK
In possession of two of the eight seeds of Lucifer, pieces of his being that were separated during his fall from Heaven and scattered around Earth. Who he was before he was first seeded no longer matters - the person before the seed took root has drastically changed, no longer fragile or weak but instead an exuberant sociopath whose only goals in life are to have fun and take down his brothers and sisters one by one. Truth be told he'd rather this eternal game be eternal, and may be playing both for and against himself in the process.
PERSONALITY
"Jack" as he goes by when also not referred to as simply The Seventh One, plays the part of sociopathic brat amongst his siblings. He enjoys inflicting pain and hard choices upon siblings and other humans for his own amusement, and remains unpredictable in both plans and alliances, when and if they latter are made.

Knowing he is essentially immortal unless killed or exorcised, his behavior is reckless - whether it's driving fast cars, a whole lot of drug use or myriad of other tricky situations are all things, he happily fucks with it all. He can be something of a disaster, thrilled to be the center of attention. Sometimes he seems to not have a plan at all, though that is his plan - ulterior motives always shining through, especially with regards to any time he's civil or kind to his fellow Luciferians.

HISTORY
Although his seed had a few instances of being hosted before him, Jack came to be seeded in the early 1800s. He had very few run ins with his siblings until the 1900s, the earliest of which seem lost to time as the others reseeded since. Some of the older ones say he wasn't always like the way he is, but there's never a story to back that up. From them or from him.

Jack will tell stories, of course, but none of them are true. They may have pieces of truth in them or they may be entire fabrications designed to distract, to upset and to foster sympathy for him. He learned his strengths are in manipulation and instigation - liking to set people up to fail, to suffer or to face their own fears for his amusement.

He killed the Third One in 1982, absorbing that seed into himself and enhancing his abilities. His ability to give suggestion to people's minds became an ability to briefly give commands, utilizing black string-like threads he can pull from inside his body. It requires touch, skin to skin, and once the effect wears off, his victims are generally immune to him and his whims for an extended period of time. He became obsessed with the Sixth one in 1999 after obtaining it seed and rather than absorbing it, decided to embed it in the body of one of the most prominent Exorcists within the Holy Order, Father ███████. This was purely an act of evil on his part, wondering just what would happen if he forced disorder within the Church - would they turn on their priest, would he surrender himself? After a somewhat obnoxious beat down in the late 2000s, Jack laid low for a while and has resurfaced in 2025 to once again haunt his siblings, keep tabs on Father ███████ and... follow this rumor to the source when it comes to the Fourth One.
THE GAME
When Lucifer was allegedly cast from Heaven, he split himself into pieces to survive the fall. These eight "seeds" were scattered on Earth, where over the centuries they would come to be exposed to humanity and allow Him to return to life - once all eight pieces were once again reunited together, as a whole.

However, the reunion hasn't been an easy one.

When a human comes in contact with one of the seeds, the influence and essence of Lucifer takes root in them. Through quests for power, a desire for vengeance, a hunger for revenge, the seed amplifies the worst of their traits while amplifying their abilities, and ultimately draws them into a g̷a̶m̶e̷ of cat and mouse with the seven other seeds.

The rules of the g̷a̶m̶e̷:

  • In order for Lucifer to reemerge, one dominant seed must kill all the others and absorb their essence.
  • Once a seed is awakened in someone, they are immortal unless killed by another seed host. Some exceptions may apply.
  • Once a seed roots in a host, a mark surfaces on their body by which other hosts can identify them.
  • If a host is killed by another host, their seed is taken by the victor. However if the killer is exorcised, both seeds separate again and re-enter the pool.
  • Seed hosts have enhanced senses and abilities, which increase with each seed they absorb. Each host manifests their additional abilities uniquely. If the seed is exorcised from a host, the host no longer has access to these abilities and loses their immortality.
  • The Church is responsible for attempting to battle the re-emergence of Satan by purifying hosts with exorcisms, and attempting to protect the removed seeds, preventing them from finding new hosts.
  • Hosts who undergo exorcisms are routinely killed afterwards, as they are perceived to be "weak" to the seeds, and the Church wants no risk of re-seeding. (Despite there being no proven heightened risk of this after an exorcism.)
  • The older hosts, who have lived the longest, recognize one another by the order in which they first emerged. ("The First One", "The Seventh One", etc.) This name is passed on to all future hosts of that particular seed, even if they do not possess their original memories.
  • Seeds that have been through several hosts may, at times, remember parts of those lives in a sense of deja vu.
  • Seeded folk also have an unstable connection to one another, like a hivemind, which was only recently discovered when the final seed came into play.
