THAT GUY

Race: Demon
Memory: FULL AMNESIA
Name: ?????


Psi is just about the worst demon ever. He can't steal a soul to save his life, and in fact he kind of doesn't want to, but shhh that's a secret. Among demons he has a notorious reputation for being particularly spineless and completely incompetent. His response to danger? Run. Sure it's a cowardly move, but it's also why he's managed to live this long despite being only barely tolerated (at best) by other demons.

Demons are known for being complete and total assholes and to be honest Psi isn't a huge exception. His people skills are lacking, he's crude, and he has no sense of propriety. But at least he tries to avoid actively fucking people over or committing grand acts of violence on a regular basis? Despite the whole "demons are dicks" stereotype (which is completely true 99.99% of the time!) most of the people who know Psi think of him as 'the demon who isn't a bastard.'

His general wimpiness and cowardly rep mean most people tolerate him places where they wouldn't normally tolerate a demon. He's not part of any specific crowd, (not belonging with demons, but not really belonging with anyone else either) and as such can get away with intermingling among people of different groups freely. As a result if you need something he generally 'knows a guy' that can help with that.

He spends his days on earth overindulging in whatever he can and generally "sticking his nose where it doesn't belong" (to quote a certain someone). He never gives out his name and as a result answers to basically anything. If pressed he'll say his name is John Doe or something equally generic. Feel free to call him Hey You, Demon Dude, Idiot, or whatever else you'd like. He will literally do nothing about it.

CR IDEAS
~Ideally I'd like Psi to be the guy "everybody knows." So if your character would tolerate a demon hanging around let me know. They might know each other.
~Maybe you're an angel/torchlight person hellbent on killing him. Maybe he stiffed you on something? He doesn't like to kill people or take their souls, but he isn't above petty theft, cruel pranks, or other non-violent crimes.
~Psi makes his living mostly by doing favors for people. Hey can get you what you need (because he knows a guy), but he'll expect you to return the favor if the time ever comes. Normally the time comes when he's got a bad hangover and left his clothes somewhere down the street. He's not the kind of person to demand life or death favors, he'd just like some aspirin and an hour or two asleep on your couch.
~If we're going with sins as a vice here, Psi's would definitely be lust. It's entirely likely he's hooked up with your character sometime if that's the kind of thing they're into.
