Linking both because Patricia Halliwell is Cube's Mistress and her information page has the most Canon information available in English. Since I am sticking with the canon events that happen in the game, I thought it appropriate to show both links.
Cube is a demon servant who has spent most his life following the orders of the Demon King, Lucifon. Isabelle, a human warrior who is also highly skilled in magic, confronted Lucifon to end the war between Humans and Demons. Giving enough damage to make the Demon Lord step down, Isabelle found herself having lost huge amounts of blood, falling unconscious for days. Upon waking, Isabelle learned she received a large amount of demon blood transferred into her by the Demon Lord himself to save her life. Lucifon took a liking to Isabelle and made her his lover. When Isabelle conceived Patricia, Cube was assigned to attend to her and the newborn's needs. Knowing Isabelle could not leave the demon world due to her weakened body, Cube would news to her of the human world. He would tell her about the humans and how they fared during the war. It took many years but finally Cube passed on information to Isabelle of warriors who were still looking for her. By Isabelle's request, Cube used demon magic to lure Sir Halliwell to an Oasis. There, Isabelle confronted her long time friend and gave him her only Child, Patricia, to care for so that she could live a normal live among humans. Cube was asked to assist Sir Halliwell in raising Patricia and aiding her in understanding her demon blood. However, he was never to reveal who Patricia's true father was. At first, the years went by smoothly... but after Patricia became excited over her teddy bear speaking to her all by itself, Sir Halliwell turned to Cube for advice, who explained that it was a sign that her demon blood was awakening. At that time, Cube's master asked Cube to tell Patricia about her Demon origins and how it caused the bear to speak.
Over the years, Cube often advised both Sir Halliwell and Isabelle of the status of war between humans and demons. He always stressed that if Patricia's demon blood ever became too powerful, she would be exiled by the humans in the village. He also expressed more concern for Patricia's education than Sir Halliwell himself. He stressed the importance of classes and even a part-time job for his young Mistress. Due to her studies, Patricia became friends with both Demons and Humans, which made Cube happy. Even though her demon blood was reviled, she could still live a nearly normal life, except that she insisted on stopping the war between demons and humans. It's honorable but very dangerous. Cube began to worry when Patricia would disappear, leaving him to go looking for her. Upon her Eighteenth birthday, Patricia thanked Sir Halliwell for raising her for 8 years. Then, she was free to do as she pleased. She left home to find her mother, whom Cube knew she'd find this time because Isabelle was no longer going to hide herself from her daughter now that she was a proper woman. Cube decided to stay and serve Sir Halliwell in the human world.
Cube's arrival to Dirty Vegas was shocking, to say the least. He grew close to a small select of men upon his arrival, specially a young man named Beat. Despite being nearly opposites, the demon learned a lot and emotionally became dependent on Beat. While trying to complete the least sexual achievements listed, Cube learned a dance and song from Takiguchi and also more about his friend's family. About the same time, Cube discusses with Beat how he refuses to have any sexual interactions explaining how he believes if they become boring maybe Loki would send them home. It was a failed plan from the start and before the demon could put two and two together, he was experiencing restless nights and hallucinations of Patrica running around. Viral offered Cube a place to stay for safety until he felt better, while Beat and Takiguchi tried to get him inside where it was warmer. Beat head-on approch failed. Takiguchi played along with Cube's hallucinations until he was able to get the demon inside and dried off.
It didn't do much as a couple days went by and Cube was still running around in a daze. Neku and beat began to realize what was happening to the more reserved group in Vegas and figured Cube hadn't been with anyone. Stepping in, Beat tried coerce Cube into bed. After lots of shouting, Cube submitted and lost his virginity to his friend. More than embarrassed, the situation made things awkward between them for a small while.
It wasn't much later when Cube first met The Roman Empire by assisting him in bringing in a bucket of moonshine. To repay Cube for his kindness, Rome entertains the demon and gets him drunk. Rome reverses the roles and lets Cube play at being a master while Rome plays the role of servant. In his drunk state, Cube finds the game highly amusing and eventually the two share a night together. In the morning Cube blames himself for allowing it to happen.
The awkwardness between Cube and Beat begins to fade as flowers bloomed in Vegas. Cube set out with a video recorder to play with it. He meets up with his friends and gets them all on tape and eventually inviting them all over for dinner, on separate days. During his dinner with Rome, Cube is offered a position beside the empire's side. Not able to resist filling the familiar role of butler,Cube accepts and begins living with Rome and helping him with building the Thermae.
When Beat passes out from exhaustion, Cube takes him to the Clinic only to find Beat was suffering from what Cube began calling "Loki's Curse." Although still highly embarrassed and against sexual acts, Cube knew they only way to save his friend was to seduce him. Tables flipped and Cube ended up giving himself up to an angry and frustrated Beat. In the end the event only brought Cube closer to Beat. Sadly, it didn't last for long.
Cube goes searching for his friend after the phone number for Beat goes missing on his cellphone. After countless hours of searching, Cube blames himself for failing to protect Beat as he promised to do. Beat was his first friend in Vegas and suddenly he was gone, without a trace. Losing his friend brought the demon into depression and eventually exhaustion as Cube avoided engaging in sex. Rome found Cube passed out and brought him to a private bath to clean him up and break "Loki's Curse." it wasn't much later before another of Cube's close friends, Takiguchi, disappeared as well. More and more Cube began emotionally leaning on his master and all those who lived with him.
However, unlike when Beat dissapeared, Takiguchi returned. Cube began to have hope again. Cube visited where Takiguchi was staying and got high for the first time. Cube began opening up to others, and began talking with Holland about Cube's magic. Although Cube's relations spread further than those mentioned, I feel that best sums up the more important events he experienced during his previous stay in Vegas.
Age: Considering he is a demon, he is approximately 200 years of age but looks in his early to mid twenties.
Canon point: Originally I had him pulled from the end of the game, on Patricia's 18th birthday. However, I'd like to have him keep his Dirty Vegas memories from earlier this year and last year. I'm okay with him having to die and is just now being revived. I imagine he went out searching for a portal, or thought he saw one back to his home world and got lost and perished.
With that in mind, I'd like to have the wheel spun for him and for the demon to lose the sensation of warmth.
Personality: Cube is the most polite and modest demon you may ever meet. He can be found being cheerful on the off chance he isn't being a worrywart as he is a bearer of problems. Serving his master and mistress has made him always looking to please someone else, and has detached himself from the idea of doing things for personal benefit. He does what he needs to to keep himself healthy and clean but beyond that it's all about pleasing someone else.
Being a demon, Cube is quite an emotional being. He may not always display it, but he is very touched by stories of families and cares very deeply for those he is close to. Because of this, he pays close attention to upcoming events and holidays, like birthdays, so he can prepare to celebrate and help his masters strengthen relationships. He is very honest and only lies when ordered to or to protect his masters, even if he dislikes it himself. Lying on his own behalf is something he is uncomfortable with and will not not admit to doing unless confronted under very certain circumstances (usually involving something bad happening to his master).
As a workaholic, Cube always finds something to do. However, he does know his own boundaries and is very organized, having a routine for daily life to stay in check with. He isn't OCD, but he comes very close. While he has begun to attempt at relaxing, doing so feels more of a chore then actually working. After all, his favorite "hobby" is doing laundry. Previously, during his last stay in Dirty Vegas, he was working on small sewing projects and found the needlework relaxing.
When nudged even a little out of his comfort zone, Cube becomes very timid and nervous, causing him to often fidget with his gloves or clothes as well as stumble over words. He can be oblivious to most things, especially concerns of the heart. Some concepts may fly right over his head, and others he pretends they fly right over his head as a way to avoid dealing with them. One would think that after all the sexual relations he has dipped into during his stay in Dirty Vegas, that Cube would find himself conflicted with feelings of love. This isn't so, as he hardly directs those thoughts or worries on himself. However, he can usually recognize when someone else is in love. The only real way Cube would recognize having possible feelings for someone is to be told or asked about it very bluntly.
A change in Cube that happened during his stay in Vegas is how he started to live in denial. He has not come to terms with the fact he actually enjoys some of the naughty things he has experienced. While it's alright for someone else to have sexual relations as they see fit, Cube has a high moral code he keeps upon himself. That does not mean he doesn't judge others, it simply means he knows he has no room to speak and it's a waste of time to correct another grown man's lifestyle. (Unless that lifestyle is interfering with his current Master's comfort or happiness) It's not so much the fact he has to have sex to survive, but the fear that he may actually be enjoying it is what is slowly eating away at him. Being seen as simply a "demon" and grouped together with others of his race seems to be an insult to him. It only makes sense that Cube does what he can to avoid falling into certain demon stereotypes.
Powers/Abilities: Flight via his wings and aviation magic. Even though Cube has wings, to propel himself from a standing position would be too difficult on his own, and so with the help of aviation magic, he can take off without requiring to leap off high places to gain enough lift.
He can also cast fire thanks to his demon blood. In Cube's canon, only those with demon or fairy blood can cast magic without the aid of magical stones or items. Cube also knows tricks with alcohol due to the Demon World's drinking habits. He can increase or decrease the alcohol content in a drink by enchanting it. If desired, Cube could probably learn other spells, but he currently doesn't know any.
Prose sample:
Had it all been a dream? The mumble of words and blurry images faded quickly from the demon's mind. Worry brought him sharply to reality. There were not-too-pleasant smells, garish colors and too small of a room. The unfamiliar (but familiar?) designs on the walls confused him. Without knowing why, he lifted his hands to grasp his ears, and he felt calmer at finding the four piercings along each one. Now he could think. He knew he was at the Mirage and not the Bellagio and yet he couldn't recall why. There was no smell of alcohol and the bed looked undisturbed. Cube began to make his way downstairs, still struggling to recall exactly what happened before he woke up in this room.
The ruined city itself appeared mostly unchanged, though the desert climate felt oddly off. Cube couldn't help but fold his long-sleeved arms across himself as if to keep more warmth in. He could very much use a warm bath. Perhaps he could ask his current master, since he was headed there now. He knew Rome would be more than delighted to let him use a bath before work... However, Cube shook the idea off. After all, it wasn't his place or proper role to ask for something before earning it.
The tap of foot steps slowed as Cube began to take in strange details. Were there always so many buildings? Some of them were in better repair now, as if they had sprung up overnight in the ruined city. Fear rose up and over his usual composure. Instead of walking, Cube darted towards his master's establishment. Without much thought to it at all, black leathery wings exposed themselves to the air behind Cube. He flapped them a few times before snapping his fingers and taking off into the skies. From there his head whipped from side to side, taking in all that was different from the Vegas in his memories.
Cube shivered, snapped out of his panic, and begin to rationalize again. This wasn't the first time Vegas had changed. Although these changes seemed more stationary than the previous decorations and whatnot, this was still the work of a God. Fear still danced around in the pit of Cube's stomach as he tried to swallow the uncertainties stuck in his throat. He had to do something other than worry.
Rome. He had to find Rome and see if his master could tell him anything about these changes. There was a slim chance of that, but the older empire was still the demon's first thought. In the end, perhaps he could warm up with a bath while discussing the new buildings. That wouldn't be too unreasonable, considering the circumstances. Perhaps if he could warm up, just a little bit, he could focus better as well.
With those thoughts in mind and wearing a worried expression, Cube dove for a landing near the Thermae. All of this gave Cube the feeling that he was missing something important. He simply couldn't place what it was.
