Malevolence MYSTIC VILLAIN THAT SUMMONS DEMONS 5 (15)

Claim the Sky

Revon Rhodes is a well-known influencer. Her online musical performances have had hundreds of thousands of views. According to her fans, she reinterpreted the cultural current of house music by adding primitive rhythms and gothic folklore.

Her fans might feel differently if they knew that her alter ego was Malevolence, the demon-summoning villain who appears in a blast of hellfire, often targeting places where scientists and researchers congregate. She views science as a paradigm-changing threat to her magic, which draws power from belief. She's also highly vindictive, punishing those who go out of their way to criticize her music. Few people have made the connection between Revon Rhodes and Malevolence, and those who do are usually eaten by demons.

In the Boundless setting, Malevolence lives in Florida.

Combat: Malevolence relies on "demon vigor" (represented by her Armor and high health) to protect her. As her action, she can unleash a legion of up to five demons to attack her foes, possess them, or become a living curse that forever changes her enemies. She is hindered in all actions by one step for every two demons she releases from her person, until they are returned or a day passes.

She can also force summoned demons to take on the shapes of useful objects, or do any number of other tasks for her, such as heal her, deliver messages, teleport her, answer questions of secret lore, and other duties. She need merely ask an already-summoned demon or call up one especially for the task at hand.

Interaction: Malevolence is willing to bargain, but she requires that any deal reached clearly favor her.

Use: A demonic effect is troubling someone the PCs know, and despite the bad blood between them, the PCs know of a certain someone with knowledge in that area that they could ask: Malevolence.

Other Equipment: Malevolence carries a few manifest cyphers that are actually demons bound in the form of objects; they take a dim view of anyone other than their owner trying to use them.

GM Intrusion: Another demon appears to help Malevolence.
