Appearance || Two short ebony horns grow from the Abyssal's forehead. His skin is taken by a grey, ashen hue. Deep yellows paint a few of his major blood vessels. His remaining eyeball is consumed with a dark black with the iris shifting to a yellow.
Abilities ||
[x] Contract | With a flick of a hand, a contract parchment can appear in front of the Abyssal. When writing upon it, it draws the blood of the writer to continue the script. When both parties sign off upon an agreed deal, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. The Abyssal and new bound will now be tethered together. The bound will now become Abyssal.
[x] Infernal | Those turned Abyssal can communicate with Infernal by written and spoken form.
[x] Shift || With a short chant in Infernal and a drop of blood, the Abyssal may shield their true form with an appearance more befitting their usual selves. Horns are smaller, eyes appear normal, skin can be paler or darker than usual but not to an extreme, etc. If they have wings, they may be smaller in this state.
Taint Object || The Abyssal will be able to corrupt a precious object (something made of metal), through a small ritual. They will inherently know the procedure slowly over time. By chanting to their Fiend with a specific intent, drawing a summoning circle on the floor and drawing blood (from themselves or another), they can summon a minor Fiend to possess the object within the circle. The circle must be empty of any other souls, including themselves, or else those within the circle will be vulnerable to possessions. If the procedure is not done with care, something very wrong can occur. This can only be done once per week. (Occurs for remainder of Campaign)
Holy War || Fiends and Gods do not coincide as one abhors the other and the other defiles their meaning. Some Holy spells take twice the effect on the Abysmal : Holy Water and Holy Fire. They cause more severe burns and injuries. The wounds from these injuries take twice as long to heal. Contact with any Iron, Silver, or Blessed Holy Symbol also burns upon touch.
True Form || All Abyssals hold a demonic 'true form' which is the closest to their true appearance. This form is different for each, though will always hold themes and connections to the Greater Fiend they are in service to. They stand taller, wings larger and more imposing, and their skin takes on a different hue as well as a slightly leathery texture. The skin is coloured in shades of reds, blacks, whites, or blues (or of their Contracted Fiend), and is usually marked with more prominent dark veins around areas where the skin is thinner. The Horns appear more dramatic, their presence intimidating, and the eyes shift to solid colours thematic to their Patron. Some have illusory steam or smoke exuding from them, or ashes/embers. The Abyssal may optionally have a leathered tail with a dull pointed end as long as one arm, or shorter, if no wings are chosen for their form.
Death of the Fiend || The Death of a Fiend, however it may come to be, might nullify the contract completely. Or it may call forth another Fiend that will quickly take its place. It becomes an uncertain gamble.
