Ruby | Supernatural
Contact Info: analogypimp@gmail.com, shotgunmadnessxo@aim and papapapanic on plurk!
Other Characters Played: Any other characters you play at Haven.
Preferred Apartment: none
Character Name: Ruby (2.0 as fandom calls her, or the brunette Ruby)
Canon: Supernatural
Background/History: http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Ruby
Personality: The first and most important thing about Ruby's personality is that she is the definition of manipulative. Being a demon, she has had hundreds of years since being turned in the 14th century to perfect her ability to twist people's minds into taking every step towards what she wants. The amount of patience she has is probably a little crazy, never once in canon being seen making a single misstep in pretending to be a good guy until the very end. Not even with Dean Winchester trying to convince Sam that she was the opposite of what she said.
This being said, Ruby is seen being willing to do practically anything to get whatever needs to be achieved. At one point, she offers to do a spell that would wipe out an entire horde of demons including herself to save a group of people surrounded in a police station. Another example is when Ruby is tortured by Alastair during a scheme to get him to come and face a group of angels so the Winchesters can escape. This isn't even touching into the hell she goes through pretending to be on the opposite side period, either. The amount of enemies Ruby seems to have in the series is ridiculous, and it's all because of the appearances she has to keep up for the "greater good". Her "greater good" being Sam killing Lilith to break Lucifer out of his cage, and in a minor way this is almost the only way that Ruby herself is a little bit ignorant to what the truth of what Lucifer Rising means (her true demise).
Ruby's cunning also means that she forces herself to pretend to be as human as she possibly can to trick Sam. This means that she is willing to act sympathetic and even a little bit kind on rare occasions, although she still seems to have difficulty keeping herself from sounding extremely sarcastic and a little bit condescending. Considering how long she has been both a witch and a demon, it seems like it's difficult for her not to get frustrated with how naive humans are. And as hard as she tries to seem like she really means well, Ruby is also not against using guilt trips on people to get what she wants, especially when she puts herself in danger for the good guy's cause.
Another thing about Ruby is that in the most twisted way, she is probably one of the most loyal beings to exist in their world. The extremes she goes to to prove to Sam that she is on his side, while being on Lilith's the entire time is example enough. While she pretends to be a backstabbing bitch, Ruby is clearly willing to die for her creator and that's as loyal as it gets, right? If one thing is for sure, Ruby is truly dedicated to pleasing Lucifer, because it's clear that Ruby has some level of dislike for her even if she does maintain that solid loyalty.
I think the last thing that needs to be noted is that while Ruby is on Lilith and Lucifer's side one hundred percent, it doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't grow to care about Sam Winchester in her own way. Not just because he is the vessel for Lucifer either, because sometimes in scenes together she honestly does seem to just enjoy his company, even going as far as seducing him even though it probably wasn't even necessary. In fact, she had to work to get into bed with him because every sane person should have moral objections to sleeping with a demon. This just seems to point to the fact that Ruby doesn't lie when she says she remembers what it is like to be human, and while a lot of her compassion seen in the series is very questionable, Ruby does have the capability to care about things almost like a normal human being. Probably more so than most demons, at least, but that doesn't mean that her level of caring is in any way sane considering she clearly likes watching Sam crash and burn for her, and her blood.
Outwardly, Ruby is just a bitch, plain and simple. If there is something she can exploit, she'll do it. If she can degrade you? Count her in. It is very rare that she actually shows any shred of humane moral capacity, and even when she does it tends to be pretty twisted regardless. This is seen when she tries to save an entire police station filled with people by sacrificing a virgin girl for the rest. Even her good intentions are laced with venom and cruel ideas.
Re: Ruby | Supernatural
Telekinesis-Ruby can move things with an unseen force, although as noted above she doesn't rely on this too much. Just for convenience, such as when she uses it to close the doors to the chapel to keep Dean from interfering in Sam killing Lilith to start the apocalypse.
Inhuman Strength-Even the lowest of demons have been seen in the series throwing people around with incredibly ease, and one even managed to open an airplane door mid-flight.
Possession- Ruby has the ability to invade and control human beings; most anyway, and it should be noted that any human that she has possessed would be very aware of every single thing she is doing. There are a couple of other things that she can do while in control of a human, including:
Telepathy-If Ruby, or any demon, is in control of someone, they can pretty much access any thoughts or memories they want.
Damage Endurance-Aside from having salt thrown in their face, or an excorsism forced upon them, demons can pretty much endure anything. This is demonstrated in the first season with Meg Masters when she is thrown out of a high building and returns just fine. However, once the demon leaves the body, the human will succumb to all of the injuries and likely die. So, if Ruby were to leave the body she is in now; a girl who was in a coma and had the plug pulled, it would die without immediate medical attention and eventually decay.
It should also be noted that Ruby can of course see supernatural things like ghosts, angels, and the actual demonic faces of her 'brethren'. She also has extensive knowledge of witch craft, having previously been a witch before being a demon, and being seen countering a spell Dean Winchester falls under.
Weaknesses-Any great strength and ability comes with a downside, and Ruby does have weaknesses. As mentioned above, salt is one of those weaknesses. A face full of salt will burn like hell, and Ruby can't cross a line of salt unless there is a break in the line itself. It is also shown within the show that if a demon swallows salt, it has the same effect as an exorcism and forces the demon out of the body.
A Devil's Trap is another weakness for pretty much any demon. It comes in the form of a pentagram or a heptagram (two hexagons within a circle), and it is from The Lesser Key of Solomon, essentially a spell book from the 17th century. Even the strongest of demons have to stay within the circle, and escaping is nearly impossible. The only exception would be if there were a way for the demon to scratch out a part of the circle, without touching it themselves. It should be noted that if even one thing is drawn wrong within said circle, any demon will be able to break it and get out.
An Exorcism is the next weakness Ruby has. If someone knows the ritual to excorsize a demon and manages to say it all before she can stop them, then Ruby will be forced out of her own body.
The final weakness is the remains of her actual body being burned, Demons were once human, people who sold their souls for one thing or another, and if their remains are found and dealt with like any other supernatural being like a Ghost, they are destroyed forever. So while it is being noted as a weakness, it would be impossible for anyone in the Port to actually find them and destroy them considering Ruby's remains are somewhere in Europe.
It should also be noted that Ruby can of course see supernatural things like ghosts, Angels, and the actual demonic faces of her 'brethren'. She also has extensive knowledge of witch craft, having previously been a witch before being a demon, and being seen countering a spell Dean Winchester falls under.
As stated at the very top though, Ruby tends to use simple mental manipulation to get around, and she is actually rarely seen using any of these abilities. She only relies on them when she absolutely has to, because she doesn't need the extra 'juice' to get the job done. The residents will probably find themselves more worried about the other demons (if present!) around than Ruby, especially considering she will be spending her time making allies with people from other worlds. With more powerful demons than herself around, Ruby will certainly do whatever she can to make sure that her own hide is safe and sound above anyone else.
final!
She isn't dead anymore.]
So I've had some weird things happen in my long life, and while this doesn't take the cake, it definitely has left me with some important questions. First of all, where am I? Second, is a Sam Winchester around here?
And thirdly, the most important question. Where can a bitch get some french fries?
Sample Entry Two: Waking up to the buzz of the alarm clock was shocking, but not in a bad way at all. In fact, if Ruby's heart were her own, it would have been racing in pure excitement and happiness. She woke up. It wasn't supposed to happen, ever again. More than once Ruby had been in situations like this, having been in a body and then been exorcized out of it only to wake up on the torture rack in hell. But this time was different. She was in a room, with other beds for what she guessed was other occupants like herself, no Alastair or any other higher ups to torture her.
Ruby was grinning as she sat up, and she didn't even realize it. Seriously, was it like Christmas or something? No one in their right mind would have made a deal to bring her back from non-existence, unless...it was Lucifer himself. Rewarding her for her entire life's work to help him rise again.
But that didn't make a whole lot of sense, even if it was a nice thought. Lucifer wanted the end to come, wanted to ruin God's creation of disgusting, ungrateful men and women. Ruby wouldn't be needed any longer, even despite what she had done for him. That thought had her smile fading a little bit as she looked down at her own torso. Her hands moved down to tug the bottom of her shirt up, just enough to reveal the thick scar in the center of her abdomen. The fatal wound she had taken. So it hadn't been some dream, it had definitely been real. That knocked out the possibility of any supernatural forces messing with her mind at least.
Which meant that it was something else with power that had done this. Ruby swung her legs off the side of the bed quickly so she could get up, and look outside of the window. The billboard there told her that she was in Haven, the place where 'everyone was safe together'. It made her laugh, because whatever; or whoever, had brought her here had no idea at what an unsafe demon she actually was.
But pretending could be fun, at the very least. Until she could find her way out, anyway. Ruby turned to head out of the room, determined to find someone else who may have more answers than she did. Someone was bound to know something, and if Ruby was good at anything in her life, it was pretending to be something she wasn't so she could benefit from it.
