When Ketizo finds a willing participant who has not been coerced with unnatural mental influence, he bids them lie down on their backs. He draws a small iron flame from his the place that serves as his heart, and places it in theirs; he draws a piece of wicker from his ribcage and places it between the slats of theirs.

Ketizo, the Hearth and the Home, Indulgent Soul of the One in the Barbed Tangle

Pinesha is a shelter from the things of the world, and shelter within borders; and it is Ketizo who lets those things dominate rather than those he meets.
Ketizo finds a man or a demon in whom it sees some spark of meaning or purpose, but one who cannot hope to accomplish that thing on its own. A mortal may dream of upsetting the realm, but have no essence to command; a demon may wish to ascend through the circles and become a higher soul, but this could never be.
Ketizo finds those desperate ones, appearing before them as a wicker frame containing a fire that licks at the wood but cannot consume it, a burnt effigy that will not burn. He offers them a chance to fulfill their dreams, and many accept. They lie down on the ground, and their body spreads and grows. Their bones form the beams of a home, their skin stretches and hardens to be sturdy fleshen walls, and their mouth widens and gapes to become a toothed door. They grow into a large structure like a yurt, and in the center of that building is a firepit. In the firepit is a small flame burning around a brass sphere, and that sphere is what was the soul of the being transformed.
Ketizo weaves three tapestries that are on the walls; one depicting the soul in its first birth, one depicting the soul at the moment of transformation, and one depicting the soul as it seeks to be. But he does not stay to see the results of his work, moving on always to find someone new. He has no hopes; he is a false shelter and holds no illusions that a true shelter or true rest is to be found inside Malfeas' flesh. He has no dreams, for he knows the impossible dreams of others and this has jaded him to the concept.

Reifying Shelter:
When Ketizo finds a willing participant who has not been coerced with unnatural mental influence, he bids them lie down on their backs. He draws a small iron flame from his the place that serves as his heart, and places it in theirs; he draws a piece of wicker from his ribcage and places it between the slats of theirs. They perish instantly and painlessly, arching their chests upwards and their head back with mouth open. Over the course of one hour, the corpse grows into a house as described above, producing aTheHoverpope/Tikessa and aTheHoverpope/Diette. This effect can be used on humans, exalts, gods, demons, and ghosts, and costs 20m, 2wp.

Three Pictures on your Heart:
Ketizo may ask questions of a corpse. It does not need the soul to be present, just for the brain to be intact. Traditionally, it asks for images of the birth of the latest incarnation of the soul, the moment of the bargain being struck, and a dream of what will be. However, if forced, it can ask other questions as well; the answer will always be in the form of images that Ketizo alone sees in perfect clarity. This effect can be applied to houses produced by Reifying Shelter. Each corpse can answer only three questions. This effect costs 8m.

Transcription of Flesh:
Ketizo may draw the higher soul out of a being and place it into a corpse. This can only be done with consent and as long as the corpse still possesses a lower soul, either in its natural state or as a hungry ghost. This allows Ketizo to move a mind and soul from body to body, prolonging life and helping madmen avoid incurable disease. This power is a hold-over from a previous life; he will not use it unless forced. This power renders the target a creature of darkness. 5m, 1wp.

Ketizo also has a range of common powers.
