Which Denarian Coin would you choose?
« on: April 07, 2018, 05:09:53 AM »
For me it'd be Namshiel from what little we know of him he's a powerful sorceror and could teach Polonius Lartessa.

Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

I guess Anduriel if you have to have one forever, he'd expend the effort to convince your conscience what you're doing is right.

If you want to get rid of it later, Lasciel sure seems like a nice "experience"  :-*

Can't argue with that!

Those things are a total loss with no insurance!

she is nice experience plus she needs combat capable host instead of her natural form. besides the skills gained from her would sell for lot of bucks.

Deirdre's coin is tempting.  Depends on if the only special part is hair, though.  If it could manifest malleable back ribbons like Mister Sinister, and claws like Wolverine, and could still tap hellfire for a magic user (I'm assuming I'd be one) to use cast hand and eye beams of fire, and enhance some kinetic abilities, you could make a serious X-Men crossbreed with that coin.

How about none?

Okay, assuming that I've been cornered by demons, and they've got a nuke they're prepared to detonate over a city which is NOT New York (that city gets too much attention in action fiction) unless I take one, then we can look at actually choosing.

Not Ursiel. Saw what he does to hosts.
Not Magog.
Not Namshiel. Too many thorns. Sounds painful.
Not Lasciel. Tempting, but then, that's the point, right?
Not Anduriel. Survival rate with him would probably be good, but do I really want to hitch myself to the freaking commander of the 30? No thank you.
Not Deirde's coin. If that demon is anything like Deirde, that's a nopefish.
Not Imariel. Also a commander.

I'm thinking Saluriel. He's not too high level in the Order, but doesn't seem like he brutalizes his hosts into submission. Probably more of an offering of power type situation. He has had magical caster hosts before, and could possibly teach some of that.

The Statue dude that Kincaid blew apart. My wife always wanted me to have chiseled abs, this seems like the most expedient way to get them.

Plus, very possibly Nem-fected. It pretty much has to be one of her, Rosanna's coin, or Namshiel.

Or a combination. My money is on Namshiel, but I could see Imariel also.

Deirdre managed to coexist with her coin for over a thousand years, and retained her mind and sense of self that entire time.  Her faults weren't from the coin, but from Nico's influence.

If her demon is that willing to work with a host, then you've got immortality + armor only vulnerable to SotC  + possibly hellfire + possibly tensile weapons + whatever you bring to the table magically.

really we don't have much information about the fallen to make a decision.  The only one we have interacted with much is Lash, who isn't even a fallen.  We can make some assumptions about the fallen, but maybe Deirdre's Fallen was cooperative because of who the host was and that usually she just overtakes her host.
