Occupation: Demon of Beginnings (Lesser Spirit)
Relation to PC: Aidolon of Petra Cormorant
Description: When Petra called, Yesod answered. It is drawn the humble beginnings which can blossom into magnificent fruit. In Petra, it believes it has found quite the acorn indeed. Attentive, curious, and sly, Yesod stays out of the spotlight and lurks on the periphery of events. Warped and tangled, its impossible body moves itself with an inhuman gait. It coils around Petra, and hangs from her words. It is the serpent around her ankle, the whispering voice in her ear. It hisses with a voice like a chorus whispering as one - its tones are those of a consumed multitude, a hundred voices whose ambition failed before it could begin.
It bears mankind no ill will. Indeed, it views mankind and demons as almost equivalent lifeforms. Where humans lack the definition of demons, they also lack their focus, and gain an ability to grow and thrive as demonkind simply cannot. It is fascinated by their lives, and savors their defeats as much as their victories. It is a watcher of a magnificent story, and a participant only when it is bidden, by its contract, to throw its metaphorical sword on its Summoner's side of the scale.
Bored easily, inexhaustible, and utterly fearless, its recklessness will get Petra killed one of these days. And ah! What an end to an ambition that will be!
Its powers are limited by Petra's power, her ability to pull its potential perfection into this cruel and latter-day world. They are as follows, in addition to the natural strength that comes with being a six-foot-tall demon of twisted and resolute metal.
Black Mirror - Gaze into Yesod's dark mirror and see the version of yourself that would have been or that might be. It is an enthralling sight that, while only lasting for a brief duration, drives the individual to be unsettled by the things they see. This provides enough distraction to allow for a variety of opportunities depending on Petra or Yesod's intentions.
Reflection - For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Yesod's mirror is met with a force, it will reflect that force back to where it came before shattering.
