Sodom and Gamorrah are known for unrestrained (not necessarily homo-) sexuality. Whether or not that's what they actually did is irrelevant for this purpose; the kinky sex is what they're known for. Maybe it's justice, maybe it's a successful smear campaign conducted by the Demon of Misrepresentation (probably an Asmodean). We may never know. };> =====

I suppose it depends on the brightness/darkness of your game, but it sort of fits for the more violent servitors of Lust. However, on the Genubath thing, he did seem to be a more destructive Prince, so Andrealpheus probably didn't get along with him too much on that basis. Also, I think he was a shedim (I think this is from David Edelstein's write-up or the S4: Valefor write-up), so Andrealpheus may have dislike him on aesthetic grounds as well, i.e. shedim are not pretty.

While Beleth wouldn't necessarily 'vote,' I guess it fits more in with Hell that she'd be present (or have a representative bearing her symbol) to show that she supports a specific project. Such as, if Vapula and Nybbas find a way to directly bring ethereals to the corporeal realm through specially designed TV sets, and Beleth supports this, then there'd be some sign that she stands with the two on this issue to the other Princes.

Of course, it tends to > mean that you get Essence-drained anyway, but at least she's not in > a crankfit... True. ObIN: Cute (1 CP/level, max 3 levels, not limited to celestials) This subset of Charisma affects Vessels much as Charisma itself does. A Cute Vessel has distinct advantages when dealing with other people: it radiates a sense of innocense and trust, and increases others' willingness to deal with the character (the honest will be charmed by the person's innocence, and the dishonest will slip directly into advantage-taking mode). Unfortunately (for those who would try to take advantage of someone with a Cute Vessel), it doesn't actually make the character innocent or trusting... There is, however, a disadvantage: a Cute Vessel is a demon magnet. A demon is more likely to target someone with this characteristic than he is to target anyone else; it's the "bite the heads off kittens" reflex that almost every demon has. They also tend to appear more frequently around people with this advantage, attracted as sharks are to a wounded fish - although the demon might not know why, exactly, he's attracted to this particular area. Mechanics: Cute grants the wearer of the Vessel (or body) a +1 bonus to reaction rolls for every level of Cute the Vessel has. However, when choosing a target for their resonance, a demon must succeed at a Will roll, with a penalty equal to the character's levels of Cute, to not select the character as a target. (Note to GMs: if you're running Infernal characters, note that you're not obliged to tell the players *why* they're making this Will roll.) In addition, if the Cute character fails any roll with a check digit of (7 - Cute level) or higher, a demon will appear within (total Forces * 100) yards. (There will always be a reason for this: there are always demons wandering about, or popping in and out of the celestial plane. The law of averages is just skewed a little around these characters.) Note that these advantages and disadvantages *only* apply when the character is wearing the Cute vessel. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 15:05:58 -0600 From: Julian Mensch Subject: RE: IN> Andrea... (Re: Novalis, Demon Princess of Lust) > Eh? I can't find anything in S2 to suggest that he doesn't feel it's > a part of his Word, same as any other act involving genetalia... Technically, war crimes are a part of Michael's Word, and freedom from having to honor geases would fall under Lilith's. Very few Superiors embrace everything that conceptually falls under their Word. I would think he'd tend to dislike it, if only because Lust tends to play very little part in the lives of most rape victims, after the fact. It's kind of creepy, that way: rape is one of the few things that can actually _still_ sexual desire in the long-term, or at least subliminate it to the point where it's not remotely likely to figure into the victim's life directly. So Moe's Demon of Sublimination might promote it, but I doubt Lust overall would. Also, rape tends to provoke a strong emotional response from just about everyone that considers themselves "good" (other than Elohim), even moreso than evils that arguably are far more serious, such as murder. I'm not saying that this is rational, but it's unarguably true. Look how many Celestials want Belial dead for his percieved violation of Gabriel. He's more hated in most takes on IN than Saminga, who probably causes far more pain, death and suffering overall. Andre is a thinking Prince and an Impudite; why would he want that kind of heat? Manufacturing consent, OTOH, it probably something that Andre specializes in, so it's really just a matter of semantics -- I'm not trying to make him out to be a nice guy, here... - -- Julian Mensch ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 14:42:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Walton Subject: Re: IN> Cute (Was Re: Kim & the Reliever Hug Corps) Oh.

Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 17:11:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Kanako Otaku Subject: IN> Evil Mike part 1 This is just a story to introduce my Evil version of Michael, which consequently, affects Lilith too. The village was burned to the ground, with corpses of men, women and children on the scattered all over. The smell signified that their bodies were decomposing. A woman in a deep purple cloak and hood stood there, bearing the Word of Death, smiling contently as a pale, strong looking man approached her from behind. His black clothing shining in the midday sun, his vicious red eyes looking absolutely dreadful. " Do you like my present? " he asked. " I can hear the ehoes of the people as your Servitors set their souls free from their bodies. The smell of charred flesh and rigor mortis filling the air......." she breathed deeply before continuing. " It's intoxicating. " " Glad to hear you like it. " he said. " Oh sweet Balseraph, to what do I owe the pleasure of such a gift? " she said. She turned to her companion, her entire body covered in a grim purple cloak, her face covered by a hood. The Balseraph removed what covered her face, revealing a deathly pale, yet maddeningly attractive beauty. Her green eyes reflecting the adrenaline rush throughout her body in the presence of such Death and destruction. She enjoyed it thoroughly. " I think it's time we ended our little courtship, Lilith. " " What? " the Princess of Death asked in surprise. " Why, Michael? " " Don't you think this place would be ideal for a wedding? " " Are you asking me to......." " Yes, I am. " " Proposing to a woman as we look over the corpses of people you had slaughtered......." she grinned. " You are quite a romantic, my Prince of War. " Lilith walked over to a slowly dying person, asking for her help. She knelt down, then used one of her dreaded attunements to put him out of his misery. Such was her view of Freedom and Death, that life was a prison and the only way to be free of it is to die. Michael's Balseraphic resonance can be blamed for that, initially. Now, centuries of serving the Word of Death have warped her into what she is now, War's right hand, dread mistress of the Undead, the dark lord's lover. " Be my queen, Lilith. Together, we will reign unmatched over all Hell. Creation will bow to our will, the Death we spread will free all souls from their imprisonment. " Michael whispered seductively into his lover's ear. " Well? " " Ah, beloved. You need not ask twice. Of course, the answer is yes. " Lilith said as she motioned her hand, turning one of the corpses into a zombie. " I sense Angels coming here. It'll be a bloodbath for them. " he said arrogantly. " A bloodbath, Michael? Oh, you really do know how to arouse a woman, don't you? " Lilith said, licking the blood stain on Michael's face. " Let them come. I feel an urge to kill. " The Prince of War and the Princess of Death laughed out, then engaged in a passionate, blood lusted kiss. They kept at it for a few minutes, until a group of Serviotrs of Fire came near them. Apparently, they didn't notice that War and Death were there. Michael stepped back, as Lilith walked to meet them. As she came near, one's body rapidly decomposed, another was attacked by a horde of zombies, the third's neck snapped by Lilith's hands. The rest ran in vain, straight into Michael's vicious axe. As the corpses lay on the ground, the two saddistic Princes stared at each other. Michael quickly grabbed Lilith's body, then gently layher down on a pile of corpses behind her. Lilith ran her hands through her beloved Balseraph's black hair, then relaxed her entire body on the dead woman below her. Michael grinned evilly, as he kissed her once more. " Now, where were we? " Michael asked in a tone Andrealphus would have used. " A bed of corpses....fitting for the Princess of Death..." Yes, it's a sick, sick idea. Write-ups for Evil Mike and Lilith in the works. Along with Prince line-up changes. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

So, recently, we've had several 'Reversed' Superiors posted. Princes who never Fell, Archangels who did. Here's the contest- take one of the current Superiors, and assume their position in the Host and Hoarde are reversed, a la Kobal, Andrealphus and Novalis. Just as a note- Lucifier should remain the Archangel of Light. Instead, go more with the fear of the firstborn- Michael, envious of his nearness to God's Own State, leads the rebellion. (And for a really silly game, trying playing IN Upside Down and Backwards...) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The village was burned to the ground, with corpses of men, women and children on the scattered all over. The smell signified that their bodies were decomposing. A woman in a deep purple cloak and hood stood there, bearing the Word of Death, smiling contently as a pale, strong looking man approached her from behind. His black clothing shining in the midday sun, his vicious red eyes looking absolutely dreadful. " Do you like my present? " he asked. " I can hear the ehoes of the people as your Servitors set their souls free from their bodies. The smell of charred flesh and rigor mortis filling the air......." she breathed deeply before continuing. " It's intoxicating. " " Glad to hear you like it. " he said. " Oh sweet Balseraph, to what do I owe the pleasure of such a gift? " she said. She turned to her companion, her entire body covered in a large black cloak, her face covered by a hood. The Balseraph removed what covered her face, revealing a deathly pale, yet maddeningly attractive beauty. Her green eyes reflecting the adrenaline rush throughout her body in the presence of such Death and destruction. She enjoyed it thoroughly. " I think it's time we ended our little courtship, Lilith. " " What? " the Princess of Death asked in surprise. " Why, Michael? " " Don't you think this place would be ideal for a wedding? " " Are you asking me to......." " Yes, I am. " " Proposing to a woman as we look over the corpses of people you had slaughtered......." she grinned. " You are quite a romantic, my Prince of War. " Lilith walked over to a slowly dying person, asking for her help. She knelt down, then used one of her dreaded attunements to put him out of his misery. Such was her view of Freedom and Death, that life was a prison and the only way to be free of it is to die. Michael's Balseraphic resonance can be blamed for that, initially. Now, centuries of serving the Word of Death have warped her into what she is now, War's right hand, dread mistress of the Undead, the dark lord's lover. " Be my queen, Lilith. Together, we will reign unmatched over all Hell. Creation will bow to our will, the Death we spread will free all souls from their imprisonment. " Michael whispered seductively into his lover's ear. " Well? " " Ah, beloved. You need not ask twice. Of course, the answer is yes. " Lilith said as she motioned her hand, turning one of the corpses into a zombie. " I sense Angels coming here. It'll be a bloodbath for them. " he said arrogantly. " A bloodbath, Michael? Oh, you really do know how to arouse a woman, don't you? " Lilith said, licking the blood stain on Michael's face. " Let them come. I feel an urge to kill. " The Prince of War and the Princess of Death laughed out, then engaged in a passionate, blood lusted kiss. They kept at it for a few minutes, until a group of Serviotrs of Fire came near them. Apparently, they didn't notice that War and Death were there.

I would agree that Sparky's not _quite_ right for canon, myself: like Bronwyn*, he has the tendency to 'humanize' his Superior - and while that's OK for some campaigns, it really isn't for others (including, quite possibly, the one that /I'm/ running. I haven't decided, yet). Better by far to keep Sparky in a place where future explorers of all things Vapulan can feel free to ignore him entirely, if they so choose. But I *am* fond of him.
