Setting: General Overview
Background on angels
History:
In the beginning, God created the Universe.
This has made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.
After He created Heaven, He created the Leviathan, and then found out that this was a terrible decision because they ate everything and would destroy all of Creation if they had their way. In His infinite wisdom, He then created Purgatory and sealed the Leviathan inside of it instead of doing something more practical like getting rid of the sneaky, destructive bastards.
Then, God created the angels, to serve Him and adore Him. The first angels He created were the archangels, the most powerful and glorious of all His servants-- Michael, Samael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Of these angels, Michael was the most powerful, but Samael was the most beloved and the most beautiful.
All the rest of the choirs of angels were created, from Seraphim all the way to Cherubs and Grigori, and they were all obedient and joyous and full of love and all that crap. Free will hadn't been invented yet, so pretty much everyone did what they were told while Dad created the Earth and it was good.
Then, God created Man. When He brought home the new baby, He told all of Heaven to bow before them and love them as they loved Him.
Samael, brightest and beloved, refused.
He looked at mankind and saw that they were weak, fragile, full of vice and destruction. He saw that they were flawed, and told his Father that he could not love these inferior creatures as he loved Him or his brothers. He would do anything that his Father asked of him, except this one thing.
Basically, he threw a big ol' temper tantrum because Dad brought home the new baby and he wasn't favorite anymore.
This temper tantrum culminated in civil war, with Samael and Michael pitted against each other. Ultimately, Samael was cast out of Heaven by his older brother along with the other angels who had stood with him. He then became Lucifer, the Morningstar, first of the fallen.
Furious at his disgrace, Lucifer set out to find a way to prove to his Father that he was right all along; he took a human soul and twisted and tormented it until it became Lilith, the first demon. The fact that human souls could be perverted into something so hideous and evil was supposed to be irrefutable evidence of mankind's inherent imperfection, but God clearly didn't see it that way. When even that failed to convince Him, Lucifer slipped into the Garden of Eden in the guise of a snake, poisoning all of Creation and bringing about the fall of Man. This was too much of a transgression even for God's once-favorite son, and He ordered Michael to cast Lucifer into the Cage, a special portion of Hell that would seal Lucifer inside until the Apocalypse.
The Cage was bound with six hundred seals, but only sixty-six of them needed to be broken for Lucifer's release.
In 2008, the first seal was broken: the Righteous Man spilled blood in Hell.
That same year, Sam Winchester broke the final seal by killing the demon Lilith in a small church in Maryland, releasing Lucifer from his long imprisonment. Angels, however, cannot exist on Earth without taking a vessel, because their true forms are so powerful and brown-note-inducing that they burn out anyone who witnesses them; he was forced to find a stop-gap vessel, as his true vessel was not available to him. He found Nick, a widower grieving the deaths of his wife and child, and convinced him to say 'yes' to becoming his host, because an angel must first receive consent from his vessel.
While the Winchesters attempted to find a way to stop him, Lucifer ran rampant across the United States, causing havoc and destruction while he prepared for his prize fight against Michael. He raised the Four Horsemen, killed a whole bunch of pagans plotting to resist the coming Apocalypse, and even killed his own little brother, Gabriel, for standing against him. He waited for the day that Sam Winchester would say yes to him.
He guessed Detroit, six months after he raised Death. He was right.
Gabriel, however, had told the Winchesters about the truth behind the Horsemen's rings; they were the keys to Lucifer's Cage, and with them, the door could be opened again and Lucifer could be forced back inside. It wouldn't be easy, but since Lucifer was far more powerful than any of them, it was their only shot at getting rid of him, especially since Dean didn't want to become Michael's angel condom and have to kill Sammy.
In the end, they came up with a desperate plan: Sam would consent to Lucifer, battle him for control of his body, and then throw himself back into the Cage.
Initially, the plan was a bitter failure. Lucifer's will was stronger than Sam's by far, and the poor kid never stood a chance. Lucifer took the rings and his true vessel, and Michael abandoned Dean and instead took their half-brother Adam as his vessel; even though he wasn't his true vessel, he was of the same bloodline and would thus be able to contain his glory.
Dean interrupted their intended battleground with Bobby and Castiel in tow, in a last-ditch attempt to get his baby brother back. After molotoving Michael with holy oil to get him out of the way (and getting both Bobby and Castiel killed by a very pissed off Satan in the process), Dean went up against Lucifer to try to get Sam to take control again. And by 'went up against', I mean 'got his ass beat six ways to Sunday', at least until Sam was finally able to drag himself to the surface.
With the few minutes that he had as himself, Sam opened the Cage and threw himself in, taking Adam and Michael with him when the archangel tried to stop him. And thus Lucifer was returned to his prison, and the Apocalypse was averted.
Personality:
As Gabriel once said, Lucifer is a great big bag of dicks.
Lucifer was one of the first beings ever created in the universe, and he was not the favorite of God for nothing; he is powerful, he is beautiful even in his exile, and he is very proud. His pride is his downfall, however, because he could not accept being told to bow before something he viewed as inferior; it's an affront to his dignity. He is also jealous and possessive, and part of the reason for his great rebellion against God was the fact that when He brought home the new baby, Lucifer couldn't handle not being the favorite child anymore. Everything was fine while he was still on top, but once a bunch of flawed little mortals came along and took all of Dad's attention, he threw a shitfit until he had to be put into time-out. And if all that wasn't bad enough, Lucifer neither forgives nor forgets; he'll hold a grudge until the heat-death of the universe, and, quite honestly, was doing exactly that when the Apocalypse came around-- gearing up for round two against Michael because big brother picked Dad's orders over him. If this sounds like he's the biggest whiny brat in the universe, that's not an entirely inaccurate description; he threw a big temper tantrum and threatened to beat up his brothers and smash all of Dad's toys unless he got his way, and he was pissed and fuming about it for millennia for being put into time-out.
Grow up, Satan.
Lucifer is also cruel, callous, and more than a little sadistic, which sort of comes with the territory of being Prince of Darkness; he has no concern for civilian casualties and will gladly slaughter humans and demons alike as long as it serves his purpose. He views humanity as a swarm of cockroaches infesting God's last great handiwork, and thinks of demons as worse, despite the fact that he, y'know, created them. Pagan gods rank just slightly above demons but below humans on the scale of 'things that Satan looks disdainfully down his nose at', because they're as petty and trivial as mankind, but claim to be gods anyway. Despite the fact that he views himself as the victim in this whole situation, Lucifer is only too eager to slaughter anyone who angers him, including the pagans (for plotting against him despite not being a real threat), and Dean Winchester (who he beat the crap out of for no better reason than the fact that he had been a pain in his ass).
Lucifer is unrepentantly vindictive, as well, and takes great pleasure at getting back at those who have slighted him, and has a tendency to take disproportionate retribution. There's no kill like overkill where the Devil is concerned. He is also completely incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions and refuses to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, there was a good reason for his exile and it wasn't just because he's a poor, misunderstood victim, beset by cruel adversaries who punished him for the crime of being right and speaking up. If there was an award for Most Blinded By His Own Ego (alternatively, Head Shoved So Far Up His Own Ass That He Forms a Klein Surface), Lucifer would win it every year. Forever.
Though he has many terrible, horrible qualities that greatly outweigh pretty much anything good, he does have some virtues; despite his reputation for being the Prince of Lies, Lucifer does not lie or use trickery or deceit to get what he wants. As he put it, he doesn't lie because he doesn't, ultimately, need to, and he never lied to Sam, even if lying might have helped him gain Sam's consent. In addition, one of the few things he still cares about in the universe are his brothers, especially the archangels. To him, the only people in the universe who are actually people are his brothers; they're the only ones who matter, except maybe for Sam. He offered Castiel the opportunity to join him, and respected his decision when he refused and gave him time to change his mind. He also was regretful when Gabriel confronted him, and gave him ample opportunity to leave before there was any conflict; he didn't want to have to fight him, and appeared genuinely upset at his death. His love for his fellow archangels clearly trumps that of his lesser brothers, however, as demonstrated when he destroyed Castiel as retribution for molotoving Michael with holy oil. See also: disproportionate retribution, because the holy oil lavage was really just an inconvenience for Michael and didn't actually do any damage.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations:
Lucifer, being an archangel, is one of the most powerful beings in the Supernatural universe. He was so powerful that there was no actual way for the Winchesters to fight him one-on-one without having another archangel backing them up, which is why they were forced to imprison him instead. That being said, keeping him at full-strength would essentially be a gamebreaker, so his powers will be toned down as follows:
Teleportation: Normally, angels can instantly travel to any point in the universe at any time. This ability will be diminished so that Lucifer can only teleport a limited distance within the ship; he cannot move between decks, and can only travel to places he's recently been.
Telekinesis: Angels can manipulate objects and occasionally people at will, pushing or pulling them across distances and sometimes making them burst like a gore-balloon. Lucifer will still be able to move things, but he'll be limited to objects within his line of sight and if he wants to turn someone into a Jackson Pollock painting made of squishy bits, he'll have to do it the hard way.
Invulnerability/Immortality: Angels can't be killed by conventional weapons. They are vulnerable to angel blades, holy oil, and weapons from Heaven's armory, and can be killed by Leviathan. Other weapons can damage their vessels, but their innate healing abilities usually take care of that.
Healing/Regeneration: Angels can heal both themselves or others as they see fit. They can heal fatal wounds with their Grace and can even bring the dead back to life; Lucifer wouldn't be able to ressurrect anyone (if he was ever inclined to), but would retain his ability to heal injuries. Severe or life-threatening wounds will be difficult and exhausting to heal, due to his limited Grace.
Superhuman Strength/Stamina: Lucifer's strength far exceeds the average human's; he is capable of extraordinary feats and was shown tearing pagan gods apart with ease. He also doesn't tire and is capable of working for excessively long periods without rest or the need to sleep, eat, drink, or even breathe. Lucifer will retain his tirelessness and half of his strength.
Perception: Lucifer can sense supernatural beings and can see the true forms of beings that aren't visible to human eyes. This power would be limited on the ship by allowing him only to sense when someone or something is supernatural or otherly, but he will not necessarily be able to tell what it is on sight. (This power would also be variable and would greatly depend on the other person and what they wanted him to be able to see of their character.) Enochian symbols can also be used to ward someone from this ability.
Mind Reading: Exactly what it says on the tin; Lucifer can 'read' minds, and can gain insight into emotional states, thoughts, and memories. This power would be at the discretion of the other player as to what Lucifer can or cannot see.
Reality Warping: This was one of Lucifer's greatest abilities, and in canon he's supposedly responsible for teaching Gabriel how to do this. Normally, Lucifer and other powerful angels can create objects from nothing and can even create independent simualcrums of people; he will be limited to transmutation while on the ship, and even then can only transmute one object into another of similar construction or composition. He wouldn't, for instance, be able to make an angel blade out of nothing, but he could transmute a metal pipe into one (minus the super-special angel killing properties), or he could change an uncomfortable chair into one more to his liking. Important structures in the ship are immune to his abilities.
Inventory:
Nick's clothes (jacket, shirt, jeans, shoes)
Four Horsemen's rings (inert)
Sam Winchester
Appearance:
Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer
Lucifer's vessel stands about 6'1" and around 200 pounds; he is not the most physically imposing person on Supernatural, but he is fairly well-built and one of the taller characters. He has brown hair, blue eyes, and a very expressive face, which he uses to great effect, especially when being sarcastic or condescending.
Age: Second, of everything; Lucifer is older than most of Creation. His vessel appears to be in his mid-to-late thirties.

Log Sample:
Lucifer was not used to limitations.
Even after his Fall and confinement, he had always been powerful; one of the most powerful things in the universe, capable of setting the Earth on fire and watching it burn, if he so desired. Rivaled only by big brother Michael and dwarfed by God the Father, but otherwise unstoppable and sovereign. There was no angel, no demon, no monster that could stand against him and have a hope coming out alive.
Now, he was diminished. His Grace had been clipped and folded and tied, pared down like a tree that had grown too wide-spread; cut until he could fit inside the vessel that was Nick without burning through his paper-frail body. The diet cola of his previous glory and splendor.
He had to feel his way through his own powers, finding boundaries where there shouldn't be any; miracles that should have come as easy to him as the breath he didn't need to take were suddenly past his reach. Trying to materialize matter out of nothing had been an exercise in futility and frustration, snap-snap-snapping his fingers in vain, reaching and finding emptiness where there should have been potentiality. All he could do was take what was already there and turn it into something else, amateur hocus-pocus compared to the pure creation that he should have been capable of. There was a deck now left in disarray behind him, its contents either cannibalized in his attempts at transmutation or simply destroyed in fits of pique.
Lucifer was not used to having shortcomings, and he didn't enjoy the experience in the least.
Even his wings had been clipped, an affront to his dignity and an effective snare for keeping him trapped on this metal prison, and no matter how much he railed and tore at it, the fabric of space and time wouldn't bend around him enough to take him home. It resisted his pull in a way it had never done before, recoiling from him like his hands were a stranger's, making this simple task impossible. Regardless of whether he yanked hard or gently coerced, he never could get further than the other end of the ship. He couldn't even manage between decks.
He should tear this moving metal box apart, rend it seam from welded seam until it was just scraps floating through the interstellar void, marking a cold grave for whatever inhabitants couldn't escape or survive a vacuum. Except that if he did, he would be stuck in some far end of the universe with his Grace still on lockdown; hardly a better situation than he was already in. First: find whatever device or being was powerful enough to do this to him. Second: destroy it with great prejudice.
Lucifer progressed through the ship, testing each familiar-foreign power in turn, finding every boundary and leaving destruction in his wake.
Comms Sample:
[When the vid feed clicks on, all that is visible at first is Lucifer's face. He's not looking at the camera, but is, instead, looking past it, an expression of mild interest on his face.]
[There are some very odd shadows playing across his face-- flickering, more like-- and the light seems distinctly orange-ish.]
Let me see if I've got all of this straight.
We've been taken against our will to this starship in the middle of nowhere, space, with the reassurances of the captain that we're traveling towards a location from which we'll be able to get home. They branded us like cattle and expect us to be grateful.
[He pauses for a moment, head cocked like he's waiting for something. There is a muffled scream in the distance.]
Personally, I find this a little rude.
[He turns, and behind him, the deck is on fire.]
I suppose there are a few ways to respond to this sort of thing. [Says the Devil standing in front of a burning crew quarters.] Though, I have to say, passivity isn't quite my style-- I've never really been one to just roll over and take it. I prefer to be a little more... direct. Really, I think that in situations like these, it's necessary for all parties involved to communicate in a clear, succinct manner, to ensure that everyone understands each other.
Consider this my formal complaint.
[He reaches over, and behind him, the door closes, cutting off the burning deck. A moment later, there's the sound of protesting metal and something breaking.]
[The feed cuts out.]

There was a deck now left in disarray behind him, its contents either cannibalized in his attempts at transmutation or simply destroyed in fits of pique.
Lucifer was not used to having shortcomings, and he didn't enjoy the experience in the least.
Even his wings had been clipped, an affront to his dignity and an effective snare for keeping him trapped on this metal prison, and no matter how much he railed and tore at it, the fabric of space and time wouldn't bend around him enough to take him home. It resisted his pull in a way it had never done before, recoiling from him like his hands were a stranger's, making this simple task impossible. Regardless of whether he yanked hard or gently coerced, he never could get further than the other end of the ship. He couldn't even manage between decks.
He should tear this moving metal box apart, rend it seam from welded seam until it was just scraps floating through the interstellar void, marking a cold grave for whatever inhabitants couldn't escape or survive a vacuum. Except that if he did, he would be stuck in some far end of the universe with his Grace still on lockdown; hardly a better situation than he was already in. First: find whatever device or being was powerful enough to do this to him. Second: destroy it with great prejudice.
Lucifer progressed through the ship, testing each familiar-foreign power in turn, finding every boundary and leaving destruction in his wake.
Comms Sample:
[When the vid feed clicks on, all that is visible at first is Lucifer's face. He's not looking at the camera, but is, instead, looking past it, an expression of mild interest on his face.]
[There are some very odd shadows playing across his face-- flickering, more like-- and the light seems distinctly orange-ish.]
Let me see if I've got all of this straight.
We've been taken against our will to this starship in the middle of nowhere, space, with the reassurances of the captain that we're traveling towards a location from which we'll be able to get home. They branded us like cattle and expect us to be grateful.
[He pauses for a moment, head cocked like he's waiting for something. There is a muffled scream in the distance.]
Personally, I find this a little rude.
[He turns, and behind him, the deck is on fire.]
I suppose there are a few ways to respond to this sort of thing. [Says the Devil standing in front of a burning crew quarters.] Though, I have to say, passivity isn't quite my style-- I've never really been one to just roll over and take it. I prefer to be a little more... direct. Really, I think that in situations like these, it's necessary for all parties involved to communicate in a clear, succinct manner, to ensure that everyone understands each other.
Consider this my formal complaint.
[He reaches over, and behind him, the door closes, cutting off the burning deck. A moment later, there's the sound of protesting metal and something breaking.]
[The feed cuts out.]
