Back to Demons


Shikara, the River of Sorrow, Indulgent Soul of the Punisher of Sin.

Even in Malfeas, there is sorrow, and guilt. Shikara is among the weakest of the demons of the Second Circle, possibly because of the equivalent weakness of her nature; she represents, in at least a small way, an understanding among the denizens of Malfeas that they have done wrong, that their punishment is, in some small way, deserved. The weight of all things that have been done poorly weighs upon her, and she staggers under its grief; her only relief comes from reaching out to touch others, and sharing her own pain with them. The force of this understanding has driven lesser minds to suicide, but that has not stopped Shikara from continuing on her path.

Shikara appears to be a beautiful humanoid woman, with long jet-black hair hanging down to her shoulders; it slowly floats back and forth as though underwater. Her clothes are pure white, but are always tattered and worn; anything that she wears will soon take that appearance. Her eyes are sparkling amethysts, and her skin is a pale blue.

Despairing Force: As a standard action, Shikara may spend 5 motes of Essence to inflict despair upon a foe. Roll Charisma + Compassion + Essence (15 dice) against the target's MDV.

Crushing Sorrow: Crushing Sorrow is a more powerful version of the Words of Power Charm. It may not be parried, and it can only be dodged if the target is aware of what is happening. It requires the expenditure of 3 motes of Essence, and if it deals damage, the target is also at -1 die to all actions for the scene. Multiple actions can apply multiple penalties, up to the target's Compassion score in penalties.
