Lili Lorca

Lilli Lorca
Lilli, named for Arad-Lili the whore queen, was born to a high ranking priest in the church of Asmodeus. Her father, Matthias Lorca, baptized her in the blood of a dozen other children to grant her the powers and the protection of hell. The ritual seemingly worked, strange occurrences surrounded Lilli, unexplained breezes, items moving on their own, strange noises. Matthias took this as a sign, and brought Lilli to the church of Asmodeus, claiming she was an oracle of the archdevil himself.

 

Lilli's earliest memories are from the church, where she was taught to worship Asmodeus. As an oracle, chosen by Asmodeus, or at least one of the archdevils, she was treated well, taught that the god speaks through her. She felt very important the first time she conducted a ritual sacrifice - an insurgent from the rose of kintargo. She was thirteen when she killed that man, and in the years that followed, she conducted more sacrifices than she could count.

Recently, she has been having second thoughts on the role of the church in Chelliax. For all their sacrifices, the streets are more violent than ever, and the sacrifices themselves. Lilli doesn't recall exactly when her attitude started changing, but she feels shame and regret when she takes a life. She doesn't get the joy she once did. Now when she looks in the eyes of the victim, she doesn't see rebellion, all she sees is fear and sadness. At age 18, she has finally decided that it is time to run from the church, taking only what she can carry, and join the protests. She knows that as an oracle of Asmodeus, in the end her life will cause pain and suffering to the multitudes, but she feels she has to try something.
