[ History ] :
Barry's history begins with the creation of Johnny Rayflo as a vampire. The demon is a clone of the true Belial who created Johnny and turned him into a vampire. The demon was so intrigued by a noble night who would give up everything to become a vampire that he created a clone of himself and placed him on the Earth to keep track of Johnny since he himself would be unable to. The name Barry is only a chosen name. His real name is Belial, but the use of said name can give a person control over him and that is something the demon does not want and won't stand for. Demons never do like to be controlled.
Some time after his own creation Barry created Rayfelle from one of Johnny's ribs. The theft was done on a whim, but like most things Barry does it was not without purpose. He used the rib to create a female version of Johnny who looks very much the same as her male counterpart. Having been made by Barry she is prone to giving into temptation and this is exactly what Barry wanted. When ever Rayfelle gives into temptation she shames Johnny by her actions, and Johnny's pain is Barry's pleasure.
As a type of incubus, Barry feeds on the souls and literal bodies of other people. Johnny is of course his favorite meal in a very literal sense. Not only will Barry eat Johnny's flesh and drink his blood, he'll take Johnny's body sexually. It's not impossible for Johnny to escape Barry's clutches and it happens quite often over the next hundred years. Oddly enough Barry enjoys this game of cat and mouse, though he'd prefer if Johnny did stay still and allow them to be together, and he chases Johnny across the known world time and time again. With each new encounter Barry would always make it a point to cause pain by hurting those people Johnny cared for. Johnny was his, and his alone, and Barry was jealous of anyone that Johnny might show feelings towards. When Barry wasn't close to Johnny, he would take his own pleasure from the lives of humans as any form of sin can be a delicious feast for the demon.
The next time Barry saw Johnny he pulled the vampire away from Charles, the child he raised and loves. Barry is well aware of how much of a weakness Charles is to Johnny and he appeared at Johnny's window using Charles' voice as a means to get inside. Once in he wasted no time in pinning Johnny and used Charles' façade to get close to him and make the experience of feasting on Johnny all the more mentally breaking. Not that getting your intestines eaten while conscious is ever pleasant and without causing some mental scars, but seeing the face of your loved one doing it adds a new level of depravity to the act.
Johnny's servant Minea tried to attack Barry before Barry could do the deed, but was severely injured instead. She managed to get out and contact Charles to warn him that his Master had been hurt; Charles found Minea thankfully before Barry could. Barry had been going to find Minea and kill her before she could call for help. He appeared to Charles in the guise of a young female child. Charle's, not didn't know about Barry and didn't suspect anything. Minea was saved because Charles didn't want the distraught and obviously frightened cat to hurt the angelic Barry. Not wanting to give himself away for what he really is Barry retreated.
Wanting to keep Charles safe from Barry, Johnny offered a proposition Barry finds hard to refuse. The cat and mouse game continued only now the pace had been increased and the encounters become more frequent, sometimes with Johnny escaping, others with Barry enjoying the feast of Johnny's flesh and blood.
In Rome, Barry met Charles again at the Opera. Charles had since learned of Barry's existence and he showed himself to the demon in a challenge for Johnny. Barry accepted and whiled Charles is pulling Johnny away from the Opera to head up to the roof, he whisked Johnny away in a flurry of bats with Charles following close behind.
Charles doesn't make it in time, but Barry doesn't leave the vampire hunter waiting for long. He appeared before Barry in the same guise of the young girl that he'd used before as if in a taunt. This way Charles could see how close he could have been to finding Barry and potentially freeing his master. Barry, conniving serpent that he is, changed his appearance to speak to Charles with Johnny's face when he'd been a priest. He spoke to Charles about a darkness that longed for the light and tried to set Charles off guard by spinning his lies through the mouth of Charles master.
Johnny would not have it, and tried to stop Charles by appearing and speaking true words of the Bible though it would injure him. The ploy worked and Charles went on the attack and electrocuted Barry causing severe burns. Thanks to his regenerative abilities it didn't stop Barry. Knowing that they wouldn't stand a chance because of Barry's demonic powers, Johnny tells Charles that they need to escape. Instead, Charles took Johnny up to a safe room in the Opera house and continued the fight so Johnny could heal from the damage he had done to himself.
Going back to the battle only proved Johnny's point. The demon could regenerate at an incredible rate and cutting off limbs was proving to be against Charles advantage. Needing to turn the tide somehow, Johnny recited a verse from the Bible that would contain Barry's true name. Before Johnny would be able to finish, Barry jumped up to the room Johnny was in, but before he could Charles tackled him away from his master….
This is when Barry would arrive in Vatheon.
[ Personality ] :
At first glance the casual observer would see a man, woman, child, or perhaps their closest love when looking at Barry. It all depends on what he wants you to see though his form of choice is that of an angelic looking young man, long silver blonde hair, large eyes, and a cherub face. A person may be compelled to go up to Barry on looks alone. If he's a woman men who are bolder would go up to him, or perhaps if the man is shy he would cast a sweet smile in their direction. To the casual observer, Barry is a perfect angel, sweet, and charming. Barry has no problem lying and he'll say whatever he needs to in order to gain someone's trust. He's a flawless con artist and can win an unsuspecting heart quite easily. One would never know that underneath that smile was a demon waiting to feast on unsuspecting flesh.
Assuming a person doesn't immediately become Barry's meal, the incubus can be akin to a cat with a mouse. He enjoys playing with his prey and will lead a person on for as long as it takes for him to get bored. For people who have known him long enough, such as Johnny, they'd know the true sadist who lies underneath the angelic mask. Being a demon has some given characteristics and among those are Barry's taste for causing pain -- Mental or physical it doesn't matter much to Barry. The demon would just as easily break someone down with well placed words and strike a cat-o-nines across a person's back. As an incubus he feeds on souls and negative emotions are most delicious, being the cause of that negativity is of course a plus.
Mostly, Barry doesn't want to get involved in trivial affairs. He'd much rather sit back and watch the drama unfold even if he's the one causing it. This is only part of why keeping his real name a secret is so important. If someone has control over him he has to do their bidding whether he wants to do it or not.
Johnny however is a very special case. If the drama is unfolding around Johnny, Barry wants to be as far into that business as he can get. He loves Johnny deeply though he has a strange way of showing it, for a demon taking the flesh of someone into you is a high form of love, literally becoming one with the other person. Barry would never kill Johnny; that would defeat the purpose, but to cut into Johnny and know that his body will only renew itself makes Johnny the perfect companion for him. Barry in turn will offer himself to Johnny, allowing the other to drink from his neck and take as much of him as Johnny wishes as long as he can be inside of the vampire in some form.
As an incubus, sex fascinates Barry. He may not lay with other people as often as he'll tear into their flesh for their food, but he will lay with Johnny any chance he gets. Knowing Johnny prefers men he always appears to Johnny as a male and never the woman he can also become. Besides, a woman can't penetrate as a man can and that pain is part of the fun.
Pain and pleasure are one in Barry's book which is why he acts the way his does towards Johnny. Barry does love Johnny to a point well past obsession. He is Johnny's shadow, and will forever follow Johnny to the farthest corners of the Earth in order to be with him. It hurts Barry that Johnny wants nothing more to do with him, but as part of his nature and purpose he can't let go of his love for Johnny. It wont stop him from having fun on the side, but at the end of the day it is always Johnny whom he loves.
An interesting quirk about Barry is that he seems to enjoy tea. He can be found drinking it if he happens to be in the human world. He also has a penchant for formal clothing. His typical attire is a grey pin striped suit and a fur lined cape. Even as a woman he wears a long pale evening gown and as a child his dress is ruffled, and the cape even more extravagant. Unless it's right after sex his hair is always in a perfect braid. Not to be deceived by his looks, Barry isn't worried about getting dirty. Blood stains are easily removed when you can recreate your clothing at will.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Body Mimicry - As an incubus, Barry has the ability to take the form of your dearest love. Closed doors and windows may prevent Barry from coming inside a home, but the best way to work around that little problem is by showing the person someone they trust. The use of this technique isn't just for getting inside of people's defenses. It can be a used to mess with a person's head to the fullest extent, making someone people the person they love doesn't love them or would hurt them.
Age/Gender Manipulation - Barry's normal appearance is of a long haired young man. When the situation calls for it he can de-age himself into the appearance of a young child though his hair retains the same length in proportion to himself. It's also had to tell in either form whether Barry is a boy or a girl on first glance, and he can use it to his advantage.
Demonic Strength, Speed, and Stamina- Barry is seen to over power Johnny and holds his own against Cherry while fighting him. His healing abilities, as described below, are also faster than a vampires which makes him all the more difficult to injure. He can move at a speed fast enough and strong enough to use his hands like knives to cut or stab.
Regeneration - Even when hurt to what should be death, Barry can heal himself to be good as new. It's not instantaneous when the damage is severe such as decapitation or stabbing through the heart, and severe injury can be used to buy the attacker some time if they get inside Barry's defenses. Though severe only means as far as blows that should otherwise kill Barry. Chopping off limbs doesn't work and will also heal at a supernatural rate. This can also be used to Barry's advantage making his limbs temporarily longer than they would be normally. He can also still control the separate body parts, such as head and body, so that his body may move without his head in order to reattach itself or attack.
Teleportation - He can go virtually anywhere. His body will dissolve into bat like creatures that can fly wherever he wills them.
Energy Waves - He can manipulate energy to push back back and deflect attacks. A simple hand gesture is all that it takes.
Don't Say My Name - Knowing Barry's true name, Belial, grants a person control over him and can strip him of his powers. As a result it's a closely guarded secret. He can also gain control over a person, owning them in a sense, if he knows their true name. This is what makes it possible for him to keep track of Johnny since he knows his real name.
God's Word/Holy Objects - Barry can be burned by holy objects, crosses, holy water, etc. but with his regenerative abilities the effect is only temporary. Reciting the Bible has no affect on him though he can't do it himself.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Minor Demon - Barry keeps this little guy with him as a way of keeping track of Johnny. It can go virtually anywhere, and it's small size makes it hard to spot unless you're looking for it. It's not really said what this thing is, but it probably is a demon of some sort. It has a partner that works as the receiving end to the images the other keeps.
