I tried to pick the least obvious devil for each role that still made sense, kinda play with assumptions a little bit. Here are two of my submissions. Krem Krem Incanto Krem Perando The Pale Mechanic Jadis requested a devil be engineered, but her acolytes misheard. The result was Krem, a repellent pale demon that exudes rope like a spider, pisses sulfur that will ignite at the slightest touch, and is more cogs than flame. Jadis demanded he be destroyed, given back to the flame, but of course her acolytes got that one wrong too. Vatis Lasah The Golden Bruiser Sure, the long betrayal is where most golds find their thrills. They convince their prey they've won only to tear victory from their grasp at the last moment. Vatis Lasah likes the tearing part. He likes it a lot. He's made it his mission to hunt down Geas knights and break them with his massive, black fists before they can complete their quests. But when he's run out of knights and he's in a pinch, anyone with bones will do. It's the cracking noise he likes most.

berenzen posted:I can't draw worth poo poo, so I wrote a poem/song. Neither can I, so I'm writing long overwrought entries from INGSVLD's perspective. The first one I won't be able to retrieve until comments actually go up, but here's what I just submitted: INGSVLD posted:While the works of 11 Ocean Crushes Falsehood With Unknowable Depths are widely held to be some of the finest and most influential works of philosophy penned by an angel, I must admit I am not able to hold him in quite so high regard as others do. It began, you see, when I came across an archive of his personal correspondence with Bhayirra Aesmani, a human contemporary, in which they argued the extent to which we are shaped by the fires from which we spring forth. One point, which 11 Ocean presented as a simple matter of fact, was that it was not possible for a devil to know true loyalty, born as they are of the hot black flame. While I cannot say that it is particularly *common* trait, I myself have seen a devil display devotion the likes of which would do a Geas knight proud.

"The Perilous Chef." Pale demon. Insane, yet won his title for maneuvring a Demiurge of old into eating her own children for supper. Looksee. Red demon. Level-headed and laid-back, face of the crew more for that than anything else. Zeex. Green demon. His mask is an entire suit of armour, exceptionally. Powerful and sardonic, he's the muscle. Betrayed by humans, Zeex wishes mankind would have one neck so that he might grab it with his steel gauntlet. Thacmanus. Red demon. Seemingly lazy and childish, Thacmanus is a cunning inventor and master of the cruel games that demons play. Laiah. Blue demon. A willful aerialist whose grace belies deep sorrow.

My poem/bardic song for posterity I once knew a Devil who danced with death Green was his face, and rank his breath He stole from creatures most fair and foul And stole away 'fore he'd run afoul Of the angels who did hunt him back To banish him to the abyss of black With wings of green and shattered scales he flew away from a mask most pale And Izcharoth, that was his name That Acrobat, with proven fame Now run along, for he comes soon To steal thine life for hearing this tune. -"The Acrobat", unknown Author

And another one down! Acrobat and Face left to go. .INGSVLD posted:No, I can understand why you think that I would be uncomfortable in this situation. After all, my quest is one that lends itself to long periods in solitude, after all. But this pursuit we now find ourselves on is not the first time that I have hunted with others, nor is it the first time I have travelled with those that I knew I would be fighting, in due course.

"Anointed Mother" Absalom Malom du Serebryakov is variably Sister Absalom, Mother Absalom, the Prophetess, the Alchemist, or otherwise, a verdant devil clad in the nun's vestments, holy symbols, divine tattoos, anointments et al. of a dozen different denominations. She is always there for souls in need of guidance, and with her all-shrouding clothing, many desperate denizens of Throne mistake her (and her surprisingly soothing voice) for a holy woman, capable of granting immortality to those loyal to her and her unnamed God. Unfortunately, she lacks the smooth-talking skill of a real cult leader, and is forced to rely on scripts to convince the disenfranchised and desperate to attend her and strip her of her names. Her skill with management and logistics is far superior to her charisma -- each of Absalom's New Churches has risen to become an economic juggernaut, transmuting the fanatical labor of devotion into massive social and material capital... until it encounters a serious external threat. Then, unable to handle the resultant crises of faith, the Church collapses or schisms, and Absalom is back on the road, refining her pitch and trying to find a theology that works. In every incarnation, she carries a string of elderly, heavily-decorated and -reinforced jars, each containing a single withered piece of flesh, a withered figurine the size of a Barbie doll. She claims that these are the shriveled and pickled remains of various legendary figures -- princes, swordsmen, saints, masters of the Art... each with its atum, its soul-flame, still flickering inside, awaiting the day of resurrection. With each new church, she adds those who fall in her service to the chain. One such, a particularly large container, purportedly contains the remains of an ancient, prophetic monster; it is currently in the possession of the Grand Dragon, and she has been planning to steal it for years, lacking only a band of holy fools to do the legwork. In public, she enjoys clear water and tasteless wafers, claiming to have transcended the urges of devils. In private, she enjoys cognac, sweetmeats, black pudding and writing (terrible) novels. She talks to her jars, but it is unknown whether she genuinely believes her own hype, and -- if so -- whether she is soothing her faithful or taunting her victims.

hey remember when vladok went nuts and allison grabbed a random devil's mask to throw onto him, afaik his mask broke, or her given that she apparently turned into a girl when she devolved, so is she wearing some random devil's face now? is that why she turned into a girl? and what happened to the devil whose mask she took? also how much of their identity has to do with the gem things in their foreheads instead of the actual features of the mask? like if you transplanted someone's gem to another person's mask would they get all their powers without having to change their appearance? that kind of looks like what yabalchoath did when she stole a bit of mammon's gem. anyway i'm invested. i care

# ? Mar 26, 2017 03:15 |

That mask was on the table. The devil was negotiating a replacement with it because his mask was getting old and gonna fall apart. Presumably he has to get another one. Vladok's identity is kinda hosed up now because his mask shattered and a random one was thrown on, I think, she's less Vladok than if he'd just been downgraded in the normal way. She turned into a girl because blues tend to be girls. The bright spots aren't related to their identities at all, they're kinda like where they keep their magic power.

Stormy (short for the first sentence ("It was a dark and stormy night") of the very long book whose contents he was named after) and Brutus have known each other since they were both summoned as Pales. While Stormy is content to stay as a pale, Brutus has his sights set on Ebonhood and is currently gold. Stormy is very limber and gangly, making them an ideal Acrobat. Brutus doesn't feel he's fit for being a gold and misses when he could just bash peoples heads in as a Green rather than being paranoid over his finances (Said stresses just fuel Stormy's desire to stay pale). As the team's Bruiser, Brutus has picked up some martial arts to make up for the physical strength lost. They both owe Oscar money and would rather not be here right now.

so their personalities change as their masks change colour and if they become more powerful they automatically get more evil, while if they want to be a nice gay girl they have to remain a little blue bug
