Bio:Description:

"Crowley had dark hair and good cheekbones and he was wearing snakeskin shoes, or at least presumably he was wearing shoes, and he could do really weird things with his tongue. And, whenever he forgot himself, he had a tendency to hiss." (Good Omens)

For anyone who hasn't read Good Omens, Crowley is a demon of Hell and the serpent of Eden, although he appears fully human, apart from his eyes. Only very powerful characters would know otherwise. He wears dark sunglasses at all times and you should assume he's got them on unless otherwise stated. Behind the glasses are yellow eyes with vertical slit pupils. He can have black, feathery wings, when he wants to, but most of the time they are folded in, unnoticeably, beneath his skin. Crowley wears black designer suits, is very good looking, and has an upper-class British accent.

Additionally, we're told that, "For those of angel stock or demon breed, size, and shape, and composition, are simply options," and "angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort."

Sometimes at [info]dizzy_land Crowley appears as a female known as Antoinette. Her theme song is Femme Fatale.
