Job: Smile Instructor
Canon: When Demon Lord Raenef IV suddenly dies, the demon world is in uproar and the task of finding and educating a new "Demon Lord Raenef" is appointed to the demon Eclipse. It just so happens the destined new Lord is a young boy with a cheery, outgoing personality, not at all like the shady, evil sort that's expected of a demon lord, and Eclipse now has to teach this new Raenef V to become a full-fledged master of dark magic and slayer of holy knights. Realizing he's in for a challenge, Eclipse wonders if things are really going to work out the way he wants to, as he's now stuck serving under a clown who doesn't know the start or end of his own spells, befriends his enemies and just wants to save people with a big smile.
Eclipse is a high ranking demon whose services are sought out by many Demon Lords. He's also devoted and intelligent, short tempered, high strung and proud with a sour disposition. Occasionally referred to as "mister grumpmeister" by his disciple and Lord in charge, Eclipse is just one level below a Demon Lord, and would be a great teacher if he didn't get annoyed at every single mistake Raenef makes. He might evoke fear in people who meet him, but if Raenef doesn't want Eclipse to hurt them, Eclipse'll back down because he respects the wishes of his Lord, though he can definitely chide Raenef and lose his temper. Had it not been for the fact that Raenef is so innocent and sweet, Eclipse would probably not have given in to a mother hen kind of side of himself he didn't think existed, as he finds himself inadvertently caring for his Lord a little more than he intended to.
Sample Post: While I do understand your explanation for bringing me here, Director, I do not appreciate the way I've been treated so far. I do not take the theft of my free will lightly, and I do not approve of your dragging me away from my duties at my home. An accidental summoning? Surely you jest. I am above getting caught by some low level incantation made by your lowly monsters and I do not see the purpose of my presence. No, not even if offered a job... A smile instructor? Please tell me who thought of something so ridiculous. I'm a demon of the third order, not some kindergarten teacher, and I live to serve my Demon Lord, no one else, certainly not some selfish mortal woman who cannot solve her problems on her own.
Yes, I can see your biggest problem is this murder case. What I cannot see is why the creatures in this place would need to learn how to smile in regards to that. First of all, zombies cannot move their facial muscles because of obvious extreme atrophia and secondly, they serve no other purpose than to scare people, or perhaps do some obscure menial task which is simple and below anyone else. Why you have the living dead to serve you in the first place just shows your lack of taste. I have no intention to stay and teach them anything, much less something unnecessary and idiotic. Sense in this camp of yours is frighteningly scarce, and it leaves me unimpressed.
Smile with their eyes? I am not convinced. They hardly have eyes left, and you still want me to do this? I never said I'd comply in the first place, so don't try to persuade me! It doesn't matter that you think I'm "as pretty as Tyra Banks". I have no idea who you're talking about or why it should matter, and I have no interest in knowing. You're starting to get on my nerves, woman.
No, I'm not about to become your guinea pig in summoning experiments. It doesn't matter that I'm a demon; summoning me isn't something to joke about. Just because your pitiful zombie horde somehow managed to call forth a high level demon with their meager abilities doesn't mean you can go ahead and dare order me around. Such impudence. I could have complimented your bravery, but I'm not about to waste my breath. And your zombies' attempts at talking your way out of this are completely redundant. I'm certainly not fluent in their gurgling speech, nor will I ever bother to be. The fact that you cannot be bothered to do it on your own doesn't improve my view on you in the slightest.
However, it seems to me that logic is apparently a subject too hard for you to grasp. Now, if you return me to my Lord's castle this instant, I won't leave any permanent damage. Not that I expect much resistance from a mortal with bodyguards who are falling apart.
