APPEARANCE
════════════════
The Infernal appear much like the lesser Fiends that inhabit them.

[x] Two horns begin to gradually grow upon the top or side of the skull and it tints in varying colors of blacks, whites, reds or green-blues. They can be as large as the head is capable of carrying them, or small and nub-like. Some can curve slightly, while others are straight. Unintelligible demonic runes become inscribed all around the horns, signifying their tainted nature. Those of Caparii race will not grow new pairs- their own pair of horns will grow more demonic.​

[x] Eye colors will change completely and some can lose the whites in their eyes. The colors can be of piercing yellows, whites, blacks or reds.​

[x] Veins of purple-black will appear throughout their body: either the neck, the arms, legs, the sides of their face​

PERSONALITY
════════════════

These possessed have been forced to share their bodies with a lesser Fiend’s soul that now uses them as a host. Much of their emotions and thoughts will slowly become shaken, as the two souls fight to either share their space or take over. One's personality will gradually have mood swings and bouts of tantrums or fits. Instead of making logical choices, the possessed might make impulsive or emotional decisions, often for the betterment of their own safety or desires. If the Fiend’s presence is long term and more severe, the possessed might actions that ultimately seem unlike them. They are then prone to making mischievous actions, schemes or causing grief towards others. The intensity of this side of them will vary over each soul.​

​

-Cogimencers can pry into minds and find parts of their memories clouded by a black and red darkness.​

STRENGTHS
════════════════

The Infernal Fiendish are in a higher tier than smaller beasts in the Nether. Unprovoked Underlins, Imps and Hoglins will avoid harming them during skirmishes, ambushes or general interactions. The heat of the Hellscape is not as bothersome to their skin and they enjoy the closeness of fire, taking longer to feel the burns despite it harming them. As their own bodies can retain the heat, unnaturally, chilly or cold weather sets off steam that exudes off their heads or shoulders. Though the cold may eventually affect them as it normally would, as they are not immune to it.​

WEAKNESSES
════════════════

They are unnaturally pale and exhausted under exposure to natural sunlight. Their bodies are still vulnerable as their normal selves would be, though fire does take a while to fully shock them. Holy Fire and Holy Water severely burns them. Touching an Iron, Silver or Blessed Holy Symbol leaves a warm imprint on them, but doesn’t burn.​

ABILITIES
════════════════

[x] Infernal Tongue | Infernal possessed can speak a Fiend's tongue to communicate with Fiendish-kind and other Infernal. It sounds like a guttural demonic sound, when heard by others. Often times, a possessed is compulsed to speak this way by the soul inside them. Represented by <Infernal: ...>. The language cannot be taught, written or understood by non-Infernals.​

[x] Mimicry | They can mimic known sounds or voices of other non-player characters, which will resound or shout around them in an rp range. Their mouths may move, but their voice can carry elsewhere. The sound level is up to a bustling small tavern, and always demonic in nature.​

[x] Infernal Sense | With the demonic passenger attached to their soul they develop a sort of intuition when making inferences and observations on topics related to the hellscape. For example, they are more likely to ascertain a detail about a creature from hell thanks to the spirit that is possessing them. They receive a +2 bonus to any hellscape-related Lore rolls.​

[x] Charred Bones | In order to calm the possession and tortured soul within them, they must collect bones of fresh animals or fresh mortals and char them. The process takes a few minutes and the bones must be held in both palms while the Possessed concentrates. The bones will turn from their normal shade to a burnt color and disintegrate, leaving the figure back towards sanity. Otherwise, their impulsive, spiteful personality will continue to grow more unhinged.​
