Quote:Master of the Elite

With this attunement, an Angel automatically succeeds at any Will or other roll where the angel's pride or self-esteem could be under attack. Attacks designed to humiliate or break the spirit of the Angel will fail.

(Edit: Author removed embedding, I support this.)



Quote:DISTINCTIONS

While Belial's organization is new, he has redeemed some powerful demons into his Angelic service, and has used this foundation to build an organization. Therefore, there are Distincted Angels in his service early.

Vassal of the Holy Flame

This Distinction is the equivilant of Belial's old "Knight of the Infernal Furnaces" Distinction in ability.

Friend of the Reborn

Adept at the baptism that brings darkness back into the light, these Angels can, when pouring water over or otherwise performing a ceremony of baptism on a person (and expending three Essence) can once a day restore them body, mind and spirit. The effect is the same as singing all three Songs of Healing at level one on the target.

Master of the New Life

The Master automatically detects any choice a person makes that leads them onto a new path for life -- for better or worse -- within 10 yards times his Celestial Forces.

RELATIONS

It is worth noting that no Archangel other than Gabriel is even Associated with Belial. Belial's redemption is too fresh, his methods too controversial and even violent, for any of the others to accept him. In the fullness of time, especially if Belial begins to associate himself with Heavenly Society, this can change.

As for Belial himself -- there are several Archangels whose tactics and messages are onces he can approve of. His sympathies are largely with the War faction, naturally. Those who take the battle to the enemy and force change are, in their own ways, supporting the Word of Cleansing, after all. Belial has no rancor for the Peace Faction, however. Novalis in particular may not agree with Belial's mission or values, but her own crusade is utterly pure, and Belial respects the Cleansing she promotes.

Those Archangels whose convictions seem suspect or variable, on the other hand, have Belial's contempt. Eli's randomness, Blandine's ephemeral nature and especially Marc's... compromise seem to Belial the most insidious paths to corruption. And he has a certain suspicion of Dominic -- while he agrees with Dominic's methods and certainty very much, he cannot forget Dominic's persecution of Gabriel.

Allied: Gabriel (Gabriel considers herself allied with Belial)
Associated: David, Jordi, Laurence, Michael, Novalis, Yves (No one considers themselves Associated with Belial)
Hostile: Blandine, Eli, Marc (Blandine, Dominic, Janus and Marc are Hostile to Belial)

Quote:ELOHIM (Restricted)

The Powers of Belial are his crucibles. Objectively weighing the purity and corruption of those around them, they know just how to apply the right pressure to force out the unclean aspects. As part of their Resonance roll, Elohim of Cleansing can learn how their target feels about a given activity, and what manipulation will reinforce or discourage those feelings in the future.

Quote:"Daniel -- we don't have time for this." Annie's voice was strained. "And you're making too much noise. Let's just wrap the box before Bobby hears you."

Quote:This worked hand in hand with Kobal's plans for the Word of Some Assembly Required. "Zactartol," when being tested, chose to make the purchasers look ridiculous rather than undermine the assembly concept itself. He recognized that men (and women) took a lot a pride in their ability, whether deserved or not. By simply making the instructions hard to follow or switching a few parts in a few boxes, he could make that person the object of derision and ridicule.

Zactartol has thrown himself into his Word with all his heart. Taking a Role as a freelance technical writer, "Zachary" has mastered the art of writing instructions that look simple on first inspection but are nigh impossible to follow in practice. He also carefully encourages the entire concept of partially assembled and unassembled kits. Today, any number of stores carry toys, equipment and furniture -- particularly office furniture -- that requires assembly at home. This ranges from cheap pressboard with shelf paper on it to highly expensive wooden kits that need to be stained and varnished before assembly.




RE: what music are you listening to now - Bourbon Betty - 06-17-2015



Quote:Zactartol's favorite 'innovation' is packing multiple unit instructions with single units, so that customers need to decide which model they're assembling from the list, often going down blind alleys that require them to go back several steps and start over. He delights in doubling the confusion by adding instructions in eight different languages on the same page, hopelessly muddling the layout. His favorite experience is watching a human try to assemble something that seems simple, cutting himself and making a fool out of himself in the process, only to resort to asking for help or calling a professional to assemble it for him. He's delighted by the number of assembly services that have sprung up and the lengths people will go not to use them until they don't have a shred of dignity left.


Oh you angel of redemption, you and your strange plans with weird symbols no one quite understands.

Quote:In terms of his Word, Zactartol is carefully building "Assembly" up -- the World Wide Web has added whole new dimensions to the process, as mail order becomes online ordering, and more and more complex items arrive with assembly instructions -- from computer components that need to be installed into computers to stereo equipment that needs to be wired together. To further these new projects, Zactartol has been ingratiating himself with various Servitors of Technology. However, he tends to be sarcastic about "innovation," owing to the circumstances of his Fall, and all too often he turns a Vapulan project into an excuse to make Vapula's assemblers look like idiots. Further, he comes close to pushing "do it yourselfers" who might turn into inventors to leave even simple projects to the experts rather than look like fools again, and Vapula doesn't appreciate that.

Zactartol's long term goals involve building on his Word even further. He recognizes there is just so far "some assembly required" can go, but thinks that by working hard and building up his reputation, he can position himself for a Word upgrade to Do It Yourselfers -- a Word with considerably more breadth.

Quote:"Daniel -- we don't have time for this." Annie's voice was strained. "And you're making too much noise. Let's just wrap the box before Bobby hears you."
Daniel ignored Ann, and looked over the instructions again. Insert retaining bolt into multi-gear assembly as shown in figure three -- where was the bloody retaining bolt supposed to be? Nothing looked like it...

"Daniel."

"A six year old boy doesn't want to unwrap a box Christmas morning," Daniel half-growled. "He wants to see a bike. Bobby is going to have a bike for Christmas, not a box."

"Santa? Santa!"

Annie suppressed a word you don't say on Christmas Eve, running to intercept the child on the stairs. Daniel jerked and swore, cutting his hand on the gear assembly. He felt a flush-like panic and dropped the bits with a clatter, throwing the box over the half-completed frame and trying to hide it from Bobby with his body.

Outside the window, the watching man slowly smiled. He cuddled a calico cat, stroking its fur gently as he watched the parents desperately trying to preserve Christmas for their son. He looked at the shiny retaining bolt, just barely visible under the easy chair, and kissed the top of the cat's head. "Verrrrry good," he crooned, then turned and walked to the street. "Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'," he sung under his breath. "While the snow... it is glistenin' -- a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight...." He half smiled, walking across to the Andersons' place -- they had twin girls who'd asked Santa for Dollhouses.

The random posts are by my fans in response to my Archangel Summon being turned on, I have no control over them any more than a musician has control over upset fans.

Quote:Salilus
Demon of Incubus
Balseraph of Lust, Knight of Infernal Pleasures

Vessel: Older Male Psychiatrist and Psychologist/5 (Charisma+3); 21 year old man/2 (Charisma +3); Late teens girl/1 (Charisma +3); Grey Cat/1 (Charisma +3).

Attunements: Balseraph of Lust, Balseraph of Factions, Djinn of Lust, Dark Desire, Kiss of Death, Breath of Slumber, Passage, Knight of Infernal Pleasures, Knight of Deception, Awakened Dream

Special Rites: Salilus receives essence when one of his nocturnal victims remembers his or her 'dream' the next day with desire.

Servitor Attunement: Awakened Dream: Salilus can grant this Attunement to his Servitors (or others, theoretically) as well as use it himself. With this Attunement, Salilus can wake a victim up, but convince her she remains asleep -- and whatever they do is 'just a dream.' This, coupled with Dark Desire and his Balseraph resonance, is a powerful tool to push mortals into Lust, often with feelings of humiliation to go with it.

Quote:Salilus was seduced -- seduced in body and in spirit. He began questioning the wisdom of Michael and the other Archangels. He grew addicted to the pleasures of the flesh. When confronted with his sins, he denied them, the dissonance burning within him but in its own way reflecting the burning he felt with Jeqon in the night. His Lustful Discord grew, and with it a driving need to hide within it -- so long as he was hidden, he could continue to enjoy the pleasures of Jeqon.

Jeqon held Salilus as he Fell. She cradled the new Balseraph and told him he would be much happier now. And she lifted him up and led him to Hell, and introduced him to Andrealphus.

Some centuries later, Salilus managed to please Andrealphus and his entourage enough to be returned to Earth. During that time he had been subjected to every kind of sexual degradation possible and some he would not have believed, before. He had been humiliated and beaten, and taught to beg for more. His Balseraph's pride would not let him believe he was so low. Instead, he fixated on the demon who had seduced him with lies and dropped him in the pit. So, while he served Andrealphus's Word well, he kept his eyes and ears open, looking for some sign of Jeqon. When he found her, he discovered she had been given a Word and considerable power and latitude, as the Demon of the Succubi. He knew that her rise in power and importance had begun with her Knighthood, and knew in turn she gained that Knighthood from his own Fall, and that infuriated him.

Why am I holding a gig?

China developed a cure for the HIV about a year ago, it feels like a good time to spend a few short moments singing.

Now we're waiting for them to make enough profit off of it and then slowly sell it out to everyone else.

Sucks to not understand medicine.
