DEMON FORM

Since your patron claimed your soul, you have a new look: a demon form.
Pick as many as apply from the lists below:
Head: horns, flames, spikes, halo, smoke
Hands: claws, bones, flames, pincers
Wings: feathers, leather, none
Skin: chitinous, rocklike, misty
Eyes: glowing, burning, empty, smoky, none

DEMONIC JOBS

Your dark patron keeps you on Earth for a reason. Choose two jobs from the
list below:
Collecting souls, tracking down rogue demons, delivering threats and
messages, guarding someone or something, assassinating your patrons
enemies, brokering demonic contracts, hiding demonic contraband
When you complete a job for your patron, mark Wild. Your patron owes you
a Debt for every job completed.
You can cash in a Debt with your Patron in order to have them:
Answer a question (honestly) about their Faction
Introduce you to a powerful member of their Faction
Give you a worthy and useful gift without cost
Erase a Debt they hold on someone
Give you a Debt they have on someone else
Give you +3 to Persuade them (choose before rolling)
Your patron may offer you the chance to buy your freedom, but Debts
alone wont be enough.

OTHER MOVES

NOTES

You remember what it was like being human, or at least fully human. But
that was before all this; before your soul ended up in the hands of demons
and devils. Now youre something else, working jobs for a patron who is
never satisfied, never done with you. Its the worst job youve ever had.

they refuse, times up. Its been a good run.

You get these two:

;; Comes With the Territory: If you are actively patrolling your territory at
the start of the session, roll with Blood. On a 10+, your territory is secure
and trouble is at a minimum; take +1 ongoing to Hitting the Streets
in your territory. On a 7-9, one of your troubles surfaces (your choice),
but things are mostly stable. On a miss, or if you arent attending to your
territory, things go south and your troubles are fast and furious.
;; Bloodhound: When you hunt someone, roll with Blood. On a hit, you
know exactly where to find them and can follow their scent until you do.
On a 10+, take +1 forward against them. On a miss, someone unpleasant
finds you first.
