You don't "really need one" to reach the Corporeal. That is, the game mechanics don't forbid it. Jordi's angels, for instance, hardly ever have Roles. But most celestials need Roles to (1) satisfy the requirements of the human societies they move in, just as your second question implies, and (2) muffle some of the Disturbance they would otherwise cause, since destroying things on the Corporeal Plane causes disturbance UNLESS it fits in with your Role.

IMC, it also depends on what sort of Celestial you're playing. If you're a Seraph, and people start asking you questions, then you'll likely have the problem of refraining from blurting out the Truth of your nature, no matter -how- inappropriate such a Truth would be, purely because the lack of a Role is symbolic of the severe lack of training on how to conduct interpersonal relationships prior to being sent to the prime. I'd make an exception if the Angel had a prior Role. Otherwise, the men in blue hand you off to the men in the white coats as you begin to rather emphatically blather on about being among the Most Holy, created by God for the purpose of ensuring that the Truth is Heard... A Cherub would be more in the position of having to assure the police that he's harmless, first, and if he's clever or lucky, can pass as just harmless enough to merit releasing, so long as they weren't doing anything suspicious. Given that Cherbuim are guardians for a good reason, that likelyhood of them not being involved in suspicious activity drop rather low. Cops tend to not catch Ofanim. And when they ARE caught, they usually just improvise anyways. This generally results in Standard Operating Proceedures; give the Ofanite a speeding ticket, or haul in to jail, for a little while, and then they get released when nothing is found on them, or the owner of the car they are using clears things up. Meanwhiles, the Ofanite won't be sucking dissonance for inactivity (cause it's not a choice of inaction), but you can bet the farm that they will have utterly annoyed the everliving crapola out of anyone else in the cell/block. Hyperactive people do tend to be nerve-grating. Elohim, for some reason, wouldn't likely end up in that sort of trouble in the first place. Careful applications of their resonance (or just psychology, in general), would hopefully nullify any chance of legal involvement. Of course, sometimes, resonances fail... That said, an Elohite would still be the second most probable choice for a choir who wouldn't do so badly in such a situation, if not the third. Malakim, I would think, would be screwed. They aren't diplomats, and they're not going to typically be the easiest sorts of fellows to get any manner of cooperation out of, especially when one considers what it is that Malakim spend most of their time doing. Of course, given they don't have to deal wtih the nagging issue of Trauma, I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of Malakim went for the Dissonance-losing method. Most Kyriotates don't -need- roles, unless their specific skill-set allows for them to communicate in a faceless manner (e-mail, telephone, written correspondance in general). If caught without a role, generally they'll plead amnesia. So long as the resulting background check won't leave the human in a worse position than when they were found, it's not going to be a dissonant experience. No sane Mercurian leaves Heaven without a role. They have a gut-level instinct for knowing that they are -necessary-. Balseraphs without a role, IMO, are exactly like Baleraphs WITH one; subject to change without warning. However, one without a role has more free reign to stretch their version of the 'Truth' without consideration of a prior, existing 'backstory' to contradict. Djinn seldom bother with roles, or at least high level ones. They're just these unconcerned homeless guys who want to be left alone. Besides, so what if they get jail time for stalking someone? Not like they were doing anything important at the time. Calabim aren't likely to let a cop survive an encounter with it. If so, it is a very, VERY subtle Calabite. Or maybe one who resonated the firearms of the legal enforcement. Or blew their tires out during a cop chase. If they are caught, though, they'll just break out. No worries, and a lot of fun! Lilim aren't stupid. Or, to put that another way, no Lilim is insane enough to go to the corporeal without some manner of identity, simply because if they have a name and a face, they can more easily set about the harvesting of plentiful Gesa. If they get 'caught', then they usually want to have a way out. Given Mother's Word, they don't want to set a bad example. Shedim don't -need- roles. They already know every little thing going on inside their victim's heads. All they have to do is, if caught, get the close enough for contact, and...ooh! Fresh meat. And whadda you know, this 'Officer' has a secret bit of Bigotry in his background. What say we take this person we've just pulled over, and show him what the law is REALLY about? You know, he just got finished beating and forcing himself upon someone....he deserves a good, solid thrashing with that nightstick. The others'll understand...hit him. HIT him. Impudites have to have roles; they'll not be happy without some laid-back identity to utilize while sucking the essence out of everyone. A Role-less Impudite is either Miserable, fresh out of Trauma, or in Deep Trouble. Mind, this is purely IMC, YMMV.

OK, 'fairly nervous' > is way too mild a term: 'headache-level cognitive > dissonance' is much, much more apt. The fact that he can pull it off is absolutely keen. As the saying goes, 'Here, have a Rite'. Maybe Kazae and he could engage in a bit of swappage... But the word BOTHERS me. Not in a 'Cognitive Dissonance' sort of way, no. Rather, the word used seems utterly, UTTERLY incorrect. Laziness is, by itself, not exactly a virtue (or a Virtue, but that's obvious) Rather, I think that such an Ofanite, wtih such an attitude, truly deserves the word that suits someone who can achieve Maximum Results for Minimum Effort. Or, to put it another way, Bachliel should be... The Angel of Slack. Kamika-Z, aka Kazae, Ofanite Angel of Cognitive Dissonance. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 14:59:40 -0500 From: Elizabeth McCoy Subject: Re: IN> Question about Roles At 11:46 AM -0500 1/3/03, cpetr@swbell.net wrote: >I'm still pretty much new to the game system, and I was wondering about >Roles.

Some Superiors provide false paperwork (which doesn't qualify as a Role -- it's _maybe_ as sturdy as a Role/1, _maybe_, and it doesn't mute any disturbance ever), such as a driver's license and possibly a Soldier contact who will vouch for you as "Cousin Ichabod" or "Yes, he's worked for me a few times" or some such. But those only hold up under very superficial questioning (such as a traffic ticket). There's a nice little chunk on Roles in the Liber Servitorum -- if the rest of the book wouldn't be totally worthless to you, you might want to check it out. (There's also a couple of pages about fates, destinies, Needs and Dis/Honorable Deeds, as well as a chapter on Servants.) - -- - --Beth, arcangel@io.com / archangel@sjgames.com In Nomine Line Editor http://www.io.com/~arcangel/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 14:08:25 -0700 From: Brian Westcott Subject: IN> I want to revive INCyclopedia web site! Everyone, Since the In Nomine Character Encyclopedia web site is down right now. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to revive it on my web site for everyone to come check out. I have been writing down a list of characters from every In Nomine book that I own. All I need to know is what type of format to use. I can list all the NPCs, their references, page numbers, what type of character they are (Ethereal, Celestial, Archangel, Remnant, Soldier, Saint, etc.) Also, I think that I have decided that I will make my C.O.B.R.A. Commander In Nomine character, the son of Titania, wife of Oberon, King of the Faeries. I used to watch the Gargoyles Cartoon series that was put out by Walt Disney and I really liked the Children of Oberon characters, plus the main characters such as MacBeth, Demona, Goliath, etc. Of course, this will make my character an Ethereal Offspring. The fun part will be figuring out how many Forces he'll have, not to mention how many Songs to give him as well. I want him to be powerful enough to fend off any attack from an Archangel or Demon Prince. Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and take care!

If this is intended to be a PC, no way should he be that powerful. If Cobra Cmdr. is an NPC, you'll need a good explanation for how a mortal amassed that kind of power. The only canon example is Lilith, who is herself a Superior. It is also implied in a number of places (or maybe that's just list canon) that any other Superior would mop the floor with Lil in a stand-up fight. =====

I think that it is generally accepted, in written canon, that she started out as less powerful than other superiors, Since she was originally human. However, now... she is Word Bound to Freedom. She has all the songs, all the power that being a superior requires and conveys. I mean, she cannot hold a sword as well as Laurence, of course, nor out run the wind. But she is Freedom, and that means.... well, she could get into an Honorable duel with Laurence, and then cheat, not allow herself to be bound by the rules, while He still is. She could get into a footrace with Janus, and then free herself from the restrictions of the set route, and therefore, win. She wins by cheating. That does not mean that she is any less powerful than any other Superior. Nor, for that matter, any more powerful.

Krystayan, Malakite of Flowers Forces: Corporeal: 3, Strength 8, Agilitiy, 4 Ethereal 3: Intelligence 6, Precision 6 Celestial 3: Will 4, Perception 8 Vessel/3, Human Male Role 3/status 2, College Student Skills: Acrobatics/3 Fighting/2, Dodge/4, Driving/2, Move Silently/4 Songs: Numinus Corpus: Thorns (treat as claws)/4, Corporeal Harmony/4 Ethereal Forbidding/4 Attunements: Malakite of Flowers Additional Malakite Oaths: Never suffer a weapon to stay in the hands of someone who won't use it responsibly, Always apoligize when admittedly wrong, Always show somone the error of their ways before resorting to violence. Krystayan is not the happiest of Angels. He was created as a Reliever in the mid 1700's, and earned his wings on earth, assisting a Mercurian who tended to a garden in Alabama. He fully fledged only about a hundred fifty heard ago, and surprised many when he ended up becoming a Malakite; most who knew him were sure he would fledge as a Mercurian or Elohite. Christayan is not completely sure why or how he became a Malakite; only that as he fledged, he knew that evil actions were not permissible. Novalis seemed to favor him though, and placed him in one of her elite "Malakim hit squads-" those who were sent in only after negotiations had failed and fighting was the only way to prevent unnecessary deaths. In all the years of fighting, Chris, as came to be known on the Corporeal realm, never had a clear feeling for his purpose; while he knew he was honorable in destroying evil for the greater good, he always felt.wrong in killing enemies he knew little about. There had to have been something remotely redeemable about the demons he was killing. After all, he knew what they were doing was wrong and dishonorable; why couldn't they see it? Eventually, after a few too many fights, he was called in to stop a group of demons serving Baal from terrorizing students protesting the war in Vietn am. He was just about to slam a weakened Habbalite's head into the ground when something.clicked. Something made sense. Instead of violently smashing the Horror, he gently forced him to the ground, and trapped him in the nearby foliage. He then began to give a stern lecture to the demon about how he was wrong, harming innocence. He was then treated to a nasty performance of the Song of Thunder, and was knocked out for the remainder of the battle. Okay, he decided. It didn't work the first time, but in the end we won? Can 't say I didn't try. So the next battle he had to fight, he singled out a target, similarly prevented him from fighting, and again, tried to tell him that what he was doing was wrong. This time, the demon still refused to listen, so Krystayan knocked him out, took him back to his apartment, much to the chagrin of the other Malakim he was working at, bound him, and tried to explain again how the demon was wrong. Eventually, a few Malakim of Dominic stepped in, putting the Novalin under arrest for hiding a demon. The demon ended up soul-killed, and Krystayan was put on trial. He probably would have been found guilty, albiet Novalis's best efforts to highlight Krystayan's attempts at redemption, if Yves had not intervened; before the Seraphim council, stated that that particular demon's Destiny had been to redeem, and inspire the thought of redemption in other demons. That renewed Novalis's defense, and eventually found Krystayan innocent. Chris found himself given independent earthly servitude, a rarity among Novalis's Malakim. With the new oath to always try to show someone the error of their ways before resorting to violence, he found himself with a renewed mission to not allow any violence that was not absolutely necessary. He earned himself a role as a college student on a local campus, helping with peaceful protests, as well as dealing with much on campus violence; he hasn' t encountered many demons in the past few decades, but he was forced to destroy the majority of those he did. He's currently feeling a lot of self-doubt, unsure of his purpose. Those he didn't destroy, he let go, unredeemed, narrowly escaping Dissonance. Chris broods over what happens to the few survivors, and actually prays not to be forced to meet many more demons. And he does seem to be a serious liability to many others. He finds himself under scrutiny of Malakim of Judgement far too often, and would probably be in trouble if he ever wound up with even one point of Dissonance in front of them. Added to that, Michael and Laurence are inherently suspicious of him, as he could potentially become a weak link in Heaven's warriors, as well as the fact that Michael is inherently suspicious of Yves defending this Malakite who fights Novalis's touchy-feely style of war. Novalis loves Krystayan, but tries not to spend too much time doting over him, perhaps for political reasons, or perhaps because she had more important things on her mind. Chris himself suffers the continual fear that a time will come where he doesn't want to fight anymore; sometimes he cries at night, hating the violent creature he has to occasionally be. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 18:57:45 -0800 From: " Cameron McCurry" Subject: Re: IN> A non-stereotypical Malakite Not a bad portrayal of a Malakite of Novalis.

Okay, I'll run something for Arisia, if people want... I have some options, which may be debated here or in private email. (Remember not to overquote!

(Feature - this means that one of them (Walter) would be able to babysit the Princess of Cute.) DEMONIC: I have an idea for one or two of the adventure seeds in S2 and S4. I'd probably do up pre-gens, but if not, I'd want a character from the appropriate book's Superiors, or a Free in service to one. EITHER (as in, this could work for either, but I'd want all of one or all of the other): A: The Valentine's Day adventure from Pyramid. B: Haru gave me permission to use a cunning idea derived from one of her games. This one would involved lots of PC initiative, planning, etc., and would therefore have all the benefits and drawbacks of same. It would also probably be somewhat humorous. At least at first. *evil GM smirk* EITHER (as in, could have a mixed group here): (A note on mixed groups -- I don't have pre-gens for these, so it's up to any players to make characters who won't kill each other -- at least, not immediately.) A: You wake up. It's cold. You see others around you. What are you all doing here? Are these friends or not? And, er, does anyone remember your name? (It'd be best to clear characters with me, and have a RSVP, for this one. And, as you all have Amnesia, the GM would exercise the right to _tweak_ characters to suit herself here and there.
