Background
Feet and feet of powdery white ash blanketed the ancient floor of the ancient beings vast abode. The roars of infernal beasts shook the air around him as his ageless eyes scanned the demonic letters that decorated the large scroll that floated in front of him.
"Are you really going to do this Mephistopheles?" The unnaturally deep voice came from the mountainous demon that had approached the smaller demon who continued reading his list "I'm sure you remember what happened last time."
Mephistopheles turned to the scaly demon who stood behind him with a small grin "This time will be different Asmodel. Faust was a bit wiser than your normal mortal."
"And what will be different this time?" asked Asmodel more amused than curious.
"I checked the list twice this time."
Personality
Gerard dripped with sweat as he trembled beneath the massive weights over his muscular frame; and with a grunt dropped them "I'm the man!" he roared as he stripped and inspected his body in a mirror "Perfection."
Gerard took up a robe and wrapped his sun tanned body in it without taking an eye off of his reflection. His eyes inspected every inch of his figure unaware of the figure that appeared behind him.
"Almost there but not quite ."
Gerard spun around to see a tall pale man dressed in crimson reptilian robes "Get out of my house! NOW!" he charged at the man but only hit air sending him stumbling into his bed
"Calm down Gerard. Don't you know what today is? It's Christmas Eve. Do you know what that makes me?" sang Mephistopheles with a smile
Gerard kept his eyes on the intruder "Sure as hell not Santa"
"Oh goodness no! I'm Merristopheles, the cooler patron of the holiday season, and heard I that you want a godlike physique."
"I'm listening."
"What if I said I could give you something your puny mind could never muster?" he glided over to Gerard and waved his hand at the mirror. It rippled to reveal Gerard not only larger but with wings and electricity coursing around his body "What if I could make you a god personified?"
"Do it!"
"Wait, what?" sputtered Mephistopheles "That's it, no questions?"
"None needed."
Mephistopheles chuckled and put his hand on Gerard's shoulder "I like you."

The ground shook and the shrieks of terrified citizens filled the tumultuous atmosphere of Cobble Town. News reporters scrambled to get shots with the source of the havoc while ensuring their own survival.
"This is Chester Naughts reporting from Cobble Town where a strange winged......man is going on a rampage!" a large boulder flew over his head which dodge and then promptly continued "A few heroes have tried to quell the man but to no avail. Here with us is a man who witnessed this beings rampage from the start!" Chester turned to a man dressed in a red tee-shirt and black jeans with a mane of greasy black slicked back on his head.
"Well Chester. I was sittin' on ma veranda when I saw a big flash in the sky. The whole place went silent ya couldn't even hear a mouse. The I heard a loud laugh which I'm guessing came from old shiny up their caus' then everything went to hell."
"You must be terrified sir."
"Actually. I'm having a merry ole' time Chester!"

"Take it back!!" shouted Gerard when his shining ruby eyes fell upon Mephistopheles talking to the reporter "Come here you bastard!" he jetted towards Chester and Mephistopheles incinerating the reporter and the camera crew in the process.
Mephistopheles folded his arms and frowned mockingly "Take it back, why?"
"I killed my girl." a tear fell from his radiant eyes and sizzled away "I turned her into ash."
"Sounds like you got what you wanted G my man. Besides, the contract is clear, the present cannot be returned or re-gifted unless the receiver of the gift agrees to have their soul sent to hell encased in a cage made of burning coals."
"But!"
"Shall I call the Ferryman?" mused Mephistopheles, a dark flame flickering in his eyes.
"There must be something." begged Gerard desperately.
Mephistopheles rubbed his chin and frowned "There is the Sinner Clause."
"What's that!"
A chair and a desk appeared next to Mephistopheles which he sat at "It says here." a large scroll assembled in-front of him as he spoke "The party to whom the gift is given can be given control of said gift if and only if they agree to serve the giver of the gift when he or she is is called upon." he looked up at Gerard and smiled as he stretched out his hand "Well."
Gerard shuddered out a sob and gripped the demons hand "What about my Tina?"
"Tina? Oh your girlfriend! I think I can work out something for her......if she's on my list."
