Astaroth

Astaroth (アスタロト) is a major antagonist and recurring character in TABA, RPGX and Action Taimanin. Known as the "Queen of the Inferno", she is an extremely powerful noble demon. As ruler of the Burning Plains of the Dark World, she is well known and feared. A belligerent, extremely dominant, sexual, and at times sadistic, demon. Viewing herself as above most beings, she seeks a man to defeat her in combat and kills anybody that isn't strong enough without mercy. If she finds a person strong enough, she can act very lustful, but still remains dominant. However, can be very unpredictable and there are no guarantees to survive her. Astaroth mocks her opponents and will murder people even if they beg for mercy, showing mercy only if somebody displays an unbreaking will and isn't easily dominated or controlled. She gets bored easily and will sometimes enter conflict just to have a good fight, without any real goal beyond that. She also uses it to judge if somebody is worthy of being her man, however, since she outclasses everybody in strength and finds the few demons that are stronger annoying, Astaroth has no luck regarding love. If women can impress her with strength, she can form friendships such as with Tekkain Kaworu, though she cares more to find a strong man. Astaroth dislikes Edwin Black and working with him is a difficult matter, she knows about his ability and seems not to agree with him. She also knows Kaliya, and after learning she works with Black acts in a similar disapproving manner, as if someone mighty has fallen. She is very friendly with Wester, her loyal servant, and treats Kotaro, depending on their last encounter, as a worthy plaything or pet. While almost always dominating and mature, Astaroth turns into a nervous, stuttering wreck when confronted about her romance diary, which talks about her feelings about love and is so cheesy and embarrassing about her hope to find love someday that Astaroth will never allow anybody to read it. Astaroth also secretly seems to try to get good at cooking but has failed so far. Appearance: Astaroth has a large chest, golden eyes, fangs, and red hair that reaches down to her knees. She tends to wear revealing, skintight red dresses (accompanied by matching evening gloves) that show a stylized heart tattoo on her left breast. She wears gold pendant earrings and has both a tongue and navel piercing. Her red high heels are usually hidden by the length of her dress. Background: Astaroth is a powerful Inferno Demon, as Queen she reigns a land where lava flows, which is in a corner of the Demon Realm. More than anything, Astaroth wishes to find somebody stronger than herself, as she has grown bored by the many centuries she lived undefeated and alone. Astaroth visited the Human World, in the search of a strong opponent, around the Middle Ages. She arrived by mistake between two fighting Egyptian clans, one of them attacked her unknowingly and she burned them down without thinking. However, the other clan started to worship her as a goddess, believing that Astaroth helped them as a protector. As a Dark Sun Goddess, she spent some time being worshiped but again became bored, as no hero or enemy arrived strong enough to defeat her. Even after some more powerful people united against her, she was not impressed and killed them and her own followers, returning to the Dark World. Around 1582, she fought against a great witch, Lyuli, who utilized Golems. Both Astaroth and Lyuli fought under opposing countries as part of a land dispute, but the length of their battle outlasted that of the countries themselves, who had solved their conflict already. As a result, Astaroth later became a friend of Lyuli, who is one of the few people that can be rude to her without the fear of being burned to death. She later became acquainted with the head of Nomad, Edwin Black, ⁣⁣but they went separate ways due to conflicting views. Astaroth also has contact with other nobles, but her realm is neutral and remains independent from forces like the 9 Noble Demon Families. At some point, Astaroth found a Dark Elf called Wester/Vesta, who was cursed for bringing disasters. Astaroth befriended her and made her a noble woman as well as her personal guard. Rarely does Astaroth leave the Dark World to venture into the Human one, unless a powerful person piques her interest. At some point, she befriended Tekkain Kaworu due to an encounter in Yomihara.
