Quote:RELATIONS
Erotica is disquieting to many, and the method of Noniel's Redemption and Wordbinding are shrouded in mystery. As a result, many Archangels distrust Noniel or are outright hostile. In particular, Dominic dislikes Noniel (if her Word didn't come from the Seraphim Council, how could it be said to be an Angelic Word -- and furthermore, her 'redemption' didn't even come from an Angelic agency), as does Michael (Erotica and War are mutually exclusive -- one cannot be intimate and hostile and be true to both) and Laurence (who can see Erotica as damaging the esprit de corps of a well conditioned military -- and besides, it is a fruitless pursuit). Novalis appreciates Noniel's drive for peaceful intimacy (and is herself a great believer in Free Love), however. David, while distrustful of Noniel's origins, certainly has noticed that her Word brings people closer together -- though there is a danger that Erotica can tip into Lust. Marc believes that through trust and intimacy comes parity. And Yves, ever enigmatic, accepts Noniel's presence and defends her Archangel's status with the others.

DISTINCTIONS
Vassal of Passion
Vassals of Passion can make any erotic experience intensely pleasurable for their partner, improving any further reaction rolls to the Vassal by three.
Friend of Candlelight and Roses
With this distinction, the Angel can look in the eyes of a partner and know, innately, what they most want, subconsciously and consciously, in an erotic encounter at that moment. This distinction can build, letting the Friend know how things shift from moment to moment.
Master of a Night to Remember
Masters gain the ability to build an entire night's experience, encapsulating it and seemingly able to extend its time however long is needed to complete the experience in its fullest. During this time, the Master and partner (or partners) cannot be found, even if the area they are in is searched. It is as though that one night steps outside of the normal course of life. Masters cannot build a Night to Remember more than once a month.
BASIC RITES

Set the mood for a couple, then make one's self absent.
Counsel someone romantically or sexually and resolve a problem.

Quote:MERCURIANS
Mercurians of Noniel are warm, friendly and pleasant to be around. While Noniel is herself a Seraph, it is said her Mercurians are her favorite Servitors, embodying the best qualities that Erotica can achieve. Mercurians have the ability to build intimacies and build on them. Mercurians have the ability to open trusts with anyone they are erotically intimate with, quickly building very close attachments. This allows them to guide their charges far more easily. In situations where they learn of lustful or other false intimacies their partners have previously used and abused, it gives them great leverage in having their partner work to repair the damage caused. This doesn't excuse them from their dissonance conditions, of course.
