Summons request
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2023 2:15 pm
I plan to use these Summons semi-frequently and figured I'd get them approved for Cetus' CS!
Rank: Moderate
Name: Geryon
Description: Everything about Geryon is red. He is a twisted creature of flesh and sinew. Geryon towers above even the Orkhan of Ecith; at 7’9” his bound form is an intimidating mass of muscle and claws and teeth. He prefers not to speak at all but rather ‘do’ and what Geryon likes most of all is to hit and beat and chew.
Terms of the Contract: Geryon doesn’t like to be controlled - and will push at whatever leash his Summoner may pretend to hold; it is best to offer him a chance to destroy, or multiple opportunities to, and simply send him in a direction to start his work.
Abilities:
Strength: While a moderate Spirit may have diversified their talents, Geryon has and only ever has had his strength. He’s stronger than his size might suggest and his skin is tougher than an elephant’s.
Rank: Moderate
Name: Es
Description: Es knows Names. A strange creature of thread-thin flesh weaved into form, Es serves their Summoner as a courtier, of sorts. They have an instinctual knowledge of the Infernal - of what demons do what and which may be best applied to the task or question at hand.
Terms of the Contract: Es can be swayed with flattery; the first few times, at least. Summoners who expect to deal with them more regularly - and seriously - should be prepared to stand in as Es’ courtier to the mortal lands. They’ll want to know who is important, who isn’t, and introductions are valued over all other offerings. However, a Summoner should be careful not to rely too much on Es, as they have a habit of only providing Names that help their ploys more than they help the Summoner.
Abilities:
Book of Names: Es keeps tabs of the greater Infernal Sphere - and what he can gleam of the moral one - in a book he keeps very close at hand. While not especially trustworthy, he is a stellar resource for any Infernal Summoner.
Demon-whisperer: Es has a natural way with Infernal-Spirits; when Summoned to help contract with a new Spirit or one the Summoner is unfamiliar with, Es can be asked to provide all manner of advice, which will be helpful.
Rank: Moderate
Name: Foil and Toil
Description: Foil and Toil are a pair of lesser Infernal Spirits who have bound themselves together to become something more. They always appear as a matching pair - and neither is ever larger than a housecat; their forms vary and seem to be outside of their control but will always be disgusting to the Summoner.
Terms of the Contract: Foil and Toil like to cause trouble - not only for their targets, but for the Summoner as well. They ask for blood, flesh, or other bits and bobs, they’ll fasten tools and trinkets. Better yet if it’s from the Summoner themselves, so they might plot mischief - or worse - should they ever find the opportunity. They aren’t loyal to anyone but each other and don’t pretend otherwise.
Abilities:
Foil - The pair have an instinctual understanding of how to ruin someone’s day. They can understand where to best put a pin where it will be stepped on, how to arrange food to attract rot, or whatever else they may be capable of doing with the time allocated to them.
Telepathy - They can communicate with each other, no matter where they are - so long as they are on the same plane of existence together.
Toil - The pair have a basic sort of enchantment magic that allows them to create small cantrips or tools or trinkets that will help them in whatever they are tasked to complete. These triflings are hardly impressive works, and never lasting, but they do the job well enough.
