Demons of the Second Circle

Shikara, the River of Despair, Demon of the Second Circle

Shikara is a weak second-circle demon, the twelfth soul of the Punisher of Sin, who is the sixth soul of She Who Lives In Her Name. Shikara appears to be a beautiful woman, with hair that slowly floats back and forth as though underwater. Her eyes are sparkling amethysts, and her skin is a pale blue. Shikara doesn't care about anything, although she loves her mate, Terberius. She hoped to find meaning in the birth of her daughter, but that went somewhat horribly wrong.

Despairing Force: As a standard action, Shikara may spend 5 motes of Essence to inflict despair upon a foe. Roll Charisma + Compassion (7 dice) against the target's Intelligence + Temperance. For each success acheived, the target finds herself overcome by despair for one turn. Taking any actions during this time require the expenditure of a point of Willpower, and even then the target is at -4 dice to all actions.

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.

Terberius, the Stone of Dark Truths, Demon of the Second Circle

Terberius is another weak demon of the second circle, the fourteenth soul of the Ravager of Dreams, who is in turn the seventh soul of She Who Lives In Her Name. Terberius is a walker in dreams, who can see into the minds of sleeping mortals and whispers to them the dark truths that they fear. Terberius lives only for the truths that he learns and reveals, but in his love for Shikara he is willing to put aside that for his daughter, whom he feels is a greater truth than himself. Terberius is a tall man, with obsidian skin and burning green eyes. He is completely hairless, and wears a shifting rainbow patchwork of clothing which is faintly disturbing to those who see it.

At the beginning of any scene involving Terberius, anyone who is opposed to him must roll Conviction. On a failure, they find guilt and fear crowding at their mind, and suffer a -1 die penalty on all actions.

Note: Terberius's Form Match allows him to take a form directly connected to a dark secret of the target. The effect may vary. The target must gain 4 successes on an Intelligence + Temperance roll to realize the deception. If Terberius is attacked, this Charm triggers automatically at no cost - Terberius cannot choose not to activate it.
