Biography[]
The Mysterious Stranger appears when Mark Twain pulls the leaver of the Index-o-Vator elevator contraption where his name is labelled in his realm as the airship lands to greet them by creating an avatar out of the realm from constructing his own being. Tom asks him what he is, The Stranger finishes forming his own face who would state that he was an angel combined with innocent features. When asked of his name, however, The stranger would then reveal his true name as Satan along with forming the right side of his face with more gritty and disturbing features, startling the children as The Stranger quickly took notice of their expressions and innocently questions them about his name to which Huck brushes of the concern by calling it to be "only as sure a sorry name for an Angel".
The Stranger then alters his face to resemble Mark Twain while also lifting his two index figures to bring into existence a cigarette and flame and then takes Tom, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher to an small island in a black void to demonstrate his feats of bringing life to the island with a wave from his own hand which spurts out colourful green grass and different tropical plans delighting the children in amazement as Tom questions how He learned to do that, The Stranger reveals He didn't learn it at all and it comes naturally to him along with the interest of other "curious things" and questions the children if they are all hungry, to which they agree and gives them each fruits of their choosing before supposedly disappearing away from the children. The Stranger appears again from the ground and creates a medieval diorama of a Castle, adding to the curiosity of the children who then asks to help him, As the Stranger hears their request, he then turns towards them and hands them each clay he manifested.
The Children began to create their own troops of miniature figurines, Huck creates a soldier, Becky makes both the king and queen, Tom creates more people and so on, together then craft together a small kingdom and inhabitants, and the Mysterious Stranger brings them all to life with a hand expelling volts that would give more features for the clay figurines who act freely and independently. Becky creates a cow to be placed between two farmers, indirectly starting conflict While Satan starts discussing humanity with the children and the worthless greed they brought upon themselves as demonstrated with two farmer figurines fighting over a cow. Satan grows increasingly weary of the many clay figurines crowding towards the cow as The Stranger's gentle facade slowly breaks into his true colours, forming a disturbing and more demonically angry face, becoming much annoyed at the sounds of the clay figurines continuingly to demonstrate more fondness over the cow, having had enough of the view he sows seeds of discord among his creations by swatting his hand above and killing the Two farmers and the Cow as the clay changes it's structure to form two coffins leading to the destruction of the kingdom through greed, calling out the clays to be foolish and such strange fascinations on this "planet" with strange mortals with curious customs, believing their is more out of the open for the clay figurines managing to change their capacity of emotions to overwhelming grief when they all gathered to present a funeral with saddened expressions and tonned down sounds, showing what he believed humans to be. He then destroys the kingdom with an violent earthquake delivering much misery to the entire miniature town as many clay figurines running away from the thunder delivered by Satan's bolts of lighting with also destroys the castle, and shows how human life is fleeting and corrupt when he electrocutes the King among many clay figurines during the earthquake who argue towards him before clearing them out with an earthquake. Afterwards The Stranger then clears out the castle to disappear and justifies to have done no wrong for himself has not know of it, His face menacingly peels back into a skull, as he tells the children not to worry, they can always make more, and are welcome to play with him any time they want, after calling out that people have no value and only if they would make more if needed. The children then quickly flee from Satan where they come back to the Index-o-Vator before the door disappears, leaving Satan alone in the void as he looks infront of the screen to give one more monologue about humanity as his realm is slowly consumed into a void, leaving only his head fading after finishing his sentence as the next scene appears with The Stranger's face disappearing from Mark Twain's right eye as the latter subtle agrees before switching the lever again to encounter more realms.
Personality[]
Satan is defined as a nihilistic entity which is infinite and formless, which can generate illusions and avatars to communicate with others. Due to his immortality and omnipotence, he sees mortals as expendable and useless. His beings are all bastardizations of human nature and reflect selfishness and violence. This reveals that Satan is a misanthrope who can only see the bad aspects of mankind and believes all humans to be evil and pitiless. He even mocks the more compassionate elements of humanity like mourning the dead or throwing celebrations, and believes everything humans do is pointless. His dialogue and illusions are all carefully patented to crush spirits and extinguish hope. He is also hypocritical as he judges humans for their greed and cruelty despite proceeding to create and destroy lifeforms for his own amusement.
