 ==== Origin ====
-The origin here is concerned with Lilith the //character// rather than the original original ‘Lilith’ which was a monster. //That// Lilith is basically ‘just a [[lb:succubus#lilitulillilith|succubus]]’...so if you want to read that, then that link will take you to the section that //very very briefly// explains that.\\  The character, Lilith, was created due to a misunderstanding, which I mentioned in the opening text. That misunderstanding is related to how the Bible is written.\\  The Bible was originally composed of multiple texts that were smushed together for some reason - not relevant to what we're talking about. However, people eventually just...forgot this.\\  The part of the Bible where the smushing is most evident is in Genesis and, by some miracle, there are two separate depictions of the first woman (Eve) being created. One of those is the ‘from rib’ creation and the other is an ex nihilo creation, similar to Adam's creation.\\  Since people forgot that the Bible was compiled from multiple texts, they looked at this and started asking...why were there two women? This eventually transformed into ‘first woman left, so God made another one’ and then that ‘first woman’ was identified as Lilith...a name used later in the Bible to refer to a monster.\\  Honestly I...don't understand the logic behind identifying the first woman with Lilith, but that's what ended up happening.\\  So that's the origin of Lilith.

 ==== In Nomine ====
-This is referring to the //[[1d6>In Nomine]]// role-playing game by [[1d6>Steve Jackson Games]] ([[1d6>GURPS]]). It's reportedly a sandbox-y type game inspired by Abrahamic Mythology where you either take control of the forces of Hell or the forces of Heaven. Lilith is included as a ‘superior’ of Hell.\\  Probably one of the more interesting depictions of Lilith, which emphasizes her independence. To be clear, I've //only// read the //Superiors// splatbook on Lilith which I //think// I read fully. I got my hands on it due to [[playground:piracy|mysterious circumstances]]. Besides that, I'm working off of the [[1d6>In_Nomine|1d6chan article]] on //In Nomine//.\\  Basically, Lilith appears to have been part of the Garden of Eden experiment, but she didn't want to be subservient to Adam, so she left. She is technically part of Hell as one of their Princesses, but is more like a neutral party. The reason being that she really doesn't seem to care about what everyone else is doing: she's just focused on that capital F Freedom(tm). Her whole shtick is that she offers favors in exchange for other favors.((:fn:>This makes her similar to Lucifer from Lucifer, which is probably just a coincidence.)) So, if you ask her for something, she'll do it for you as long as you promise to do something for her in the future.\\  So you //could// ask her to help you lose your virginity. She'll help out with that and then later she'll ask you to burn the holy land. So you should probably think these things through first.\\  Her Lilim do much the same: offering favors in exchange for favors.\\  This depiction means she is one of the most chill...anythings in the world of In Nomine, at least relatively speaking.((:fn:>Based on my limited understanding of course.)) She doesn't care about the war and is seemingly content.\\  I think that this depiction is probably the best source of inspiration for a morally neutral or good Lilith, considering her relatively chill attitude towards everything...including morality.
