GREED

[sinfulmods]

Greed ('Sigbin')
The demon representing greed appears as a slightly grotesque creature with a mess of limbs: its back legs are longer than its front, giving it a strange gait, and it seems to best resemble a hornless goat with slightly broken legs and a long, whip-like tail. It doesn't move like any sort of normal animal most people have seen, but in a stilted, broken fashion, swinging its tail back and forth for balance. Some citizens of the city refer to it as a 'sigbin'.

These demons are seen coming a mile away, practically. You can always see them coming, but whether that gives you the chance to get away is still up in the air: there's something about its eyes that seems to lock characters in place so it can approach without fearing that its targets will escape before it gets to them. Bizarrely, when it gets a metre or two away, its normal faulty gait all but disappears, and it gallops at the target at full speed before rearing back and snapping its front hooves at the victim's chest. It will continue this assault until the victim is on the ground, when it will make an attempt to crush its victim's ribs to get at their heart. It's fairly skittish, though, and can likely be scared away from a downed victim with a few loud sounds.

After being attacked, the victim may go into a brief form of shock. Assuming the demon doesn't actually kill them, the character will wake up strongly affected by the sin of greed. They will have a strong desire to possess things, whether it's theirs or not. Often, this will lead to just a touch of thievery and possible violence. It doesn't matter if the victim is friends with someone or not, if someone has something they want, they will get it come hell or high water. This will last for six hours from the time of attack.

As well, characters will find that proximity - usually a few city blocks will do it - will cause their attention to slide away from whoever they're with, and more to objects. Almost like window shopping, but with an intense desire to obtain whatever object caught their eye.
