Backstory
Charun, born Lilith, was just an ordinary human girl when her town was attacked by the Demon King's forces. She managed to escape the immediate chaos, but with the world around her falling to demons and monsters, her survival became a struggle. She lived on the run for a time, observing as towns and villages fell to the invading monsters.
Eventually, Charun found herself trapped in a cave while trying to evade a horde of demons. This cave led to an abandoned mine, where she hid to survive. However, her attempt to escape was interrupted when a hole appeared in the ground, and demons began to push others into it. She didn't understand what was happening but waited quietly. Once the demons left, Charun tried to leave, but she tripped, falling into the abyss.
She was caught mid-fall by Armaros, who gently caught her in his massive arms. Despite her initial panic and fear, she quickly realized that the demons, though fearsome, weren't as cruel as she had assumed. Armaros and Daeva, having already become demons themselves, adopted Charun, giving her a new name and a place in their family. They raised her as their own, despite her not being a demon.
Charun's life began anew in the Underground, where she was cared for by Daeva and Agiel, who became like a brother to her. They spent months together, growing closer and learning to survive in their new world. However, tragedy struck when Charun was ambushed by Murmur, who experimented on her for his dark purposes. Charun's demon core shattered in the process, leading to her physical death, but her soul remained tethered to the Underground.
Though Charun's body is now lifeless, her spirit continues to linger in the Underground, unable to be seen by others unless certain conditions are met. She remains a faint red ghoul, existing outside of the living realm, driven by the energy of souls, blood, and the destructive force of genocide. She is now bound to the essence of death and suffering, only to appear when the Genocide route is taken—especially when Jake, the protagonist, kills everyone in the Underground.
She can then be summoned as a haunting figure to haunt Jake and may act as a guide through the corruption of his soul. However, her appearance comes at a cost, as every time she appears, Jake will feel more and more of his own life force drained away. Charun's existence is tied to the genocide and cruelty that permeates the Underground, and her power grows with each act of violence.
Abilities
Ghostly Presence: Charun cannot be seen or touched by most, as she exists outside the normal realm of the living. Her form is faint and ethereal, allowing her to pass through physical objects with ease. She can observe events but cannot directly intervene unless certain conditions are met (such as a Genocide route).
Core Manipulation: In her demonic state, Charun's core, though shattered, can be partially reconstructed with souls, blood, and suffering. This process strengthens her ethereal form and allows her to grow more solid. If she gathers enough energy, she can manifest more fully, interacting with the physical world in brief moments.
Time Manipulation (Twist Effect): While Charun does not directly manipulate time, the effect of her presence on Jake is akin to time manipulation. After each Genocide reset, Jake becomes increasingly weakened and decayed, his body dying more with each reset as the curse of Charun's existence slowly erodes him. This is a psychological effect that feels like time rewinding, but it is actually the gradual unraveling of Jake's soul.
Red Phantom Form: In her fully manifested state, Charun appears as a faint red ghoul. She is nearly invulnerable to most attacks, except those that are specifically designed to target souls or spiritual beings. She can cause psychic disturbances, warping the environment around her, invoking intense feelings of guilt and loss in those nearby.
Soul Absorption: Charun can consume souls or fragments of them, absorbing their energy to regain strength. This allows her to extend her life and temporarily reconstruct her body, but the process is not permanent.
