Supernatural Merits & Flaws

1 to 4 point Flaw

A demon from below has taken a special interest in you. It appears to you occasionally, using threats, bribes or honeyed words to win you to its cause. Sometimes it just asks you to perform innocuous favors. Sometimes it asks you to become its eternal servant. So9metimes it offers favors or information without any apparent catch. In any case, it is not your interests it serves, but those of its diabolical masters. For some reason, the demon sees you as an especially useful tool for ensnaring the mortal souls it craves, and although it may occasionally provide you with a short-term benefit, you are disposable to it. At some point in the chronicle, it is likely to try to dispose of you in some decidedly uncomfortable fashion.
The details of the demon and its personality are largely up to the Storyteller, but the point level determines some generalities. A minor demon (1-pt. Flaw) may be an annoying imp, incapable of doing anything more than distracting you, thieving small items and pleading for souls. Its plans are unimpressive, but they can be frustrating. A greater creature (4-pt. Flaw) is your physical equal , and it can concoct horribly devious plans to make you its slave. (For more on demons, see p. 292.)
