This is my character Nia Demarchis, Seraph, if any of you remember her. In recent storylines she's been going through a bit of trouble when it comes to matters of the heart. She and the man pictured, Devon, have had a rocky relationship for the past year or more. He constantly struggles with insanity due to the goblin formula (the same stuff Norman and Harry Osborn took) being in his blood...because he's the lab grown son of Harry.
Confused yet?!
After a bad judgement call on the part of Nia (and the subsequent unfaithfulness that ocurred) it seemed to be over for the couple. They broke up and went their seperate ways, Devon going even further down the spiral of villainy, while Nia remained an x-man.
Fast forward to a year later, and Devon had set his sights on godhood. He and a few members of the Hellfire Club took over Asgard and made themselves gods after killing or subduing the rest of the pantheon. Right before this Devon had left subtle hints for Nia that he still had feelings for her.
She never got over him, and that only brought back all the feelings she'd tried to suppress over the past year. In the end she turned her back on the x-men, betrayed them to save Devon's life, and sacrificed her status for him.
the catch? Devon still won't openly admit his feelings, and mostly is quite callous towards her. She's acting on faith alone, and sometimes fath dwindles.
This picture was inspired by their story. Nia is in the foreground, begging God (and Devon) to listen to her and bring back her love. Devon is lingering behind, torn between admitting his feelings and just walking away...
And looming just over his shoulder is the primal, blood thirsty side of him, just waiting for a chance to take advantage of a weak moment....
