Hi! I’m Ramensushi56. I have an OC, Alistair Blackribbon. In life, he was a vigilante who killed the worst of the worst. When he died from being shot by police, he became an Exorcist because when he was alive he killed for justice. That was how he gained the power of Tainíakinesis, or ribbon manipulation. Eventually, however, he fell from Heaven and was sent to Hell. Alistair looks more like a human that most demons because of his past as an Exorcist.

Biography
Born on January 1st, 1980, Alistair grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a crime-ridden neighborhood of Chicago. Food was difficult to come by. To this day, he still wonders how he didn't die as a child from starvation. Alistair was also forced to take on the role of a caretaker for his younger sister Alana, who was born three years after him. So when she was killed by robbers at the age of 6, it left him with a hole in his heart that could never be filled. It also made him more paranoid and cautious of his surroundings.

After Alana's death, he became even more cynical than before, as well as aggressive if provoked. He was never close with his parents, but that was mostly because they had to work long hours to get anything for him. Despite this, as a teenager, he began to drift away from them. They became desperate to cling to their only surviving child, leading to them micromanaging him, therefore making him drift further from them. It became a vicious cycle, one that Alistair was trapped in the middle of.

It all came to a head when he was 16. The school bully mocked him over the death of his sister and his parents' poverty. Alistair exploded in anger, attacking him with a chair and leaving him hospitalized. He was expelled for this and his parents, finally having had it with him, threw him out of the house. This traumatized him further and made him resent his parents. He became a wanderer, dedicating his energy to finding food, water, shelter and a weapon for self defense. He also wasn't trusting of anyone.

After finding a machete and creating a sheath for it to keep on his back, he started looking around at the people he saw. An alarming thing he noticed was that many of them were known murderers, rapists, abusers and many more kinds of criminals. When one of them tried to attack him, he instinctively unsheathed his machete and sliced open his chest, causing his attacker to die of exsanguination. He realized he didn't feel any remorse from taking the man's life; quite the opposite, in fact. He felt pride.

Alistair came to the conclusion that his purpose in life was to rid the world of the worst of the worst. He became an urban legend in the town, known for brutally killing anyone who deserved it, such as serial killers, rapists and abusers. For this, he not only utilized a machete, but also a sturdy ribbon he attached to it, which could be used for strangulation. Since the police were corrupt, the townsfolk began seeing the killer, whom they called the Ribbon Ranger, as the only true harbinger of justice in the town.

After two years of killing the criminals in the town, Alistair began migrating to other towns to break into prisons and kill any inmates who deserved it. He also began hunting down criminals who hadn't been punished and killing them as well. Eventually, his identity as the Ribbon Ranger caught the attention of law enforcement, who began pursuing him. They finally caught him on December 31st, 1999. Alistair ended up evading them for 12 hours before dying of a shotgun wound to the head on January 1st, his 20th birthday.

When he died, he went to Heaven. Why? Well, you see, according to the angel who greeted him, vigilantes like himself had a special job: they would go down to Hell every year, targeting the very worst of the demons. While this was a blatant lie told by Damien Forthright, the angel in question, Alistair still believed it. Even in death, he was determined to bring justice to all those who had harmed the weak and defenseless. So, he agreed, being granted special powers by this angel as a result that made him unique.

His powers were as follows: the ability to control ribbons and their properties, as well as give them bladed edges, turning his hair into ribbons including the bladed ribbons he was fond of using, recovering any cut off hair and manipulating his hair length. He lengthened his hair enough to form a scarf around his neck. But one day, his brain was operated on to insert a computer chip into it. This process caused him immense pain. Damien told him he was being kept awake through it to make him stronger.

After the insertion of the computer chip into his brain, he became more aggressive, violent, impulsive and temperamental. He also wasn't as hesitant to attack indiscriminately. He would later realize the operation was the cause of this. Alistair found life in Heaven restrictive and boring. For example, he would be berated for researching the Ars Goetia and listening to certain songs. Despite this, LGBTQIA+ people like him weren't discriminated against and expressing such sentiments was punishable, which relieved him.

As his many rebellious actions, outspoken protests against the restrictions of Heaven and recorded instances of rule-breaking piled up, the authorities began seriously considering banishing him from Heaven. They would get that push on the Cleanse of 2010. During said Cleanse, Alistair's mask deactivated before he went back to heaven. When it did, he realized he killed an entire family of imps that had 40 members and very young children. This would cause him to want to stop being an Exorcist, leading to his banishment.

While in Hell, Alistair began hunting down the very people he always wished to eradicate: the scum of the Earth. This time, though, it wasn't just out of his sense of justice; it was also to alleviate the guilt of knowing what he had done as an Exorcist. He couldn't get this nagging feeling that he was just like the very people he killed during his lifetime to leave him, so he continued doing what he did while alive to distract him from that guilt and self-loathing. And since there were many terrible people in Hell, he had more options this time.

But doing the same thing constantly gets boring after a while. So, he joined a circus troupe called the Daring Devils. They were immensely talented performers, but needed a constant supply of tightropes. Alistair was more than happy to provide them with this in exchange for being allowed to join them, which they accepted. Over time, they became the closest things he ever had to friends in his entire existence. He also met another fallen Exorcist in 2016: Vaggie, whom he developed feelings for that she didn't know about.

That wasn't the end of his crazy story, however. Oh, no. The Daring Devils didn't just perform circus stunts no sane person would dare to do, they also did crazy things that would make most people huddle in the corner. One night, they tried their most ambitious exploit by far: Stealing a piece of jewelry from every Goetia brother, all in one night. While they all lived in the same palace, the Lemegeton Estate, said palace had a treasure room divided between the brothers, forcing the group to split up to complete their task.

After they completed this seemingly impossible task, they put up the stolen items on display and allowed loyal fans to see them after performances. Unfortunately, while said fans telling everyone in Pentagram City did cause them to gain a wider audience, it also caught the attention of the Goetias, who were enraged when they learned of what happened to their artifacts. Using Andromalius' powers, they managed to put the Daring Devils on trial and Alistair and Vaggie were exposed as fallen Exorcists to the public.

Since it was illegal for Exorcists to live in Hell, they were forced to pick one of two options: death or servitude to a noble. Naturally, Alistair and Vaggie picked the latter, therefore allowing Vaggie to become Charlie Morningstar's girlfriend and Alistair to become the bodyguard of Count Andromalius. In the present, he's still performing this duty faithfully, but there has been a hiccup as of late: he's caught feelings for Asmodeus Goetia. To make matters worse, Andromalius has fallen for him and he doesn't know it.

Parents
Alistair had a loving relationship with his parents at first, but as time went on, it slowly deteriorated. Eventually after he assaulted a classmate for insulting his dead sister and was expelled for this, his parents finally had enough of him and kicked him out. This would be the event to send him down a path of vigilantism.

Alana Rutherford
Before her death, Alistair was very close to his younger sister. When she was 6 and he was 9, she was murdered by a group of robbers. This event traumatized him and would become the most major catalyst for the way he is today.

The Cherubs
With the exception of Cletus, Keenie and Collin, Alistair did not have a good relationship with the Cherubs. He especially detested Deerie because she would frequently mock the dreams of his friends and was often the one to rat him out when he caused trouble. This ultimately led to his banishment, which traumatized his friends, Cletus in particular.

Alastor
Alistair is terrified of him. The reason Alistair fears him is because of the fact that they are well known and also have similar names. Alistair thinks Alastor would believe he is ripping him off.

Cletus
Of the Cherubs he actually was close with, Cletus was the one he was closest to. He'd frequently reprimand Alistair if he got in trouble; however, this was out of genuine concern for his safety. Alistair is oblivious to Cletus having fallen in love with him, though he does think a romance with him would be intriguing.

Charlie Morningstar
Alistair has a tumultuous relationship with the Princess of Hell. In the story Alistair makes a VoxTube video telling everyone as a fallen angel himself that Heaven is bad, which angers Charlie; another reason he dislikes her besides believing she is naive is because she is Vaggie's girlfriend, which makes him jealous. Meanwhile, Charlie believes that by telling people online that Heaven is bad, he is preventing the possibility of demons redeeming themselves, therefore condemning countless innocents to die at the hands of the Exorcists. Despite these issues, they can be cordial with each other. However, on Alistair's part, this is only because he knows that he could die if he truly got on Charlie's bad side.
