Diette, the Beloved Children, Progeny of the Hearth and the Home

The Diette begin their days as small brassy spheres inscribed with all of the things that were meaningful to them in their past life, removed by /Ketizo. They lay in a pit of flames, feeling every tongue of fire, as they are raised by the /Tikessa; their exterior grows slowly less ornate until it bears one message, and then cracks open revealing the true diette. The process is the burning away of the burdens and intimacies, leaving them only with their great goal. They have all the memories of their past lives, but often find that those memories are incomprehensible; they look akin to men, but they do not think as them, and even other demons find their previous mindsets near incomprehensible.

They take a time to hatch equal to one week for each intimacy they held before transformation; their emerged form learns at a rate of one ability dot per day until it is complete. They then look much like they did before, although they are free of any blemishes, scars, deformities or handicaps their previous body had; always visible is the flame that burns at their heart, shining through any covering not made of iron.

They single-mindedly pursue their goal, which nearly always brings them into conflict with their Tikessa quickly. When they kill her and escape, they are free in the world to wreak the havoc they most dream of.
