jeriendhalJust a little something I've been thinking about.
Description: Masters of pain and humilation, demons of Abuse revel in the chance to bring pain to as much of humanity as they can get their hands on. Unsubtle in the best of circumstances, they're often found on Earth in the roles of PE teachers, drill sergeants, dirty cops, dentists, aerobics instructors, or other professions that allow them to get away with inflicting suffering without attracting the attention of mortal or Celestial authorities.
Dissonance: It is Dissonant for a demon of Abuse to go more than one day without physically or verbally abusing someone for at least fifteen minutes every 24-hours. Incautious demons who inflcit too much damage on their subjects often create enough Disturbance to attract angels, so Christopher encourages his servitors to concentrate on mentally breaking down their victim's will as well physically.
Attunements
Balseraphim: Masters of finding "repressed memories" a Balseraph of Abuse gains a +2 to their CD when attempting to convince someone they were abused in the past. The subsequent uproar in the community and mental anguish of the victim are well worth it.
Djinn: TBD
Calabim: Perhaps the most numerous of Christopher's servitors (unsuprisingly), a Calabite of Abuse may mask the damage he infilcts on a living being from the Symphony with a successful Precision roll.
Habbalim: A Habbalite of Abuse may inflict Fear upon their victim with an automatic success.
LIlim: A lilim of abuse automatically knows if their target has a Need to be abused. Strangely, all the lilim in Christopher's service have been acquirred from other DP's. Lilith has forbidden any Free lilim that she holds a geas hook on from serving under Abuse, and refuses to listen to any of Christopher entreaties to create lilim servitors for him.
Shedim: TBD
Impudites: In a pinch, Takers in Christopher's service may drain Essence by inflicting physical damage on their victims, 1 point of damage per point of Essence. No, Christopher doesn't particularly care that this violates their Band Dissonance...
Servitor Attunements
"Tell Grandma You Fell Off The Swing" - Any physical damage done to a victim by the Abuser may be altered so that it appears to be accidental. The damage is still there, but merely altered in appearance, or transferred to other parts of the body where it would be discounted by, say, a forensic examiner. Wire whip marks on the back become skinned knees, a black eye becomes a bruised elbow, ect.
Repression - Memories of an abusive encounter with the demon may be placed "under cover" for CD days, allowing the abuser time to get clear of any investigation. When the memories do return, they often come in the form of night terrors or debilitating flashbacks.
Distinctions: TBD
Superior Relations: Unsurprisingly, Christopher gets along well with his like minded colleagues in the Horde, such as Saminga, Belial, Haagenti, and so on. Vapula appreciates the reports Christopher sends of abuse victim's pain tolerances, and Kobal, Beleth, and Nybbas appreciate the creativity in the mental cruelty Abusers often inflict. Andrealphus by comparison, is actively hostile, seeing Abusers as a rival to the sexual abuse that Lust's servitors often inflict. LIlith, for reasons not entirely clear, is also hostile to Christopher.
Fleurity is perhaps his best friend.

Neutral: Everyone else except

+5 Site of a historical place of mass abuse (A WWII Japanese POW camp, Bergen-Belsen, a Russian gulag)
+6 A torture chamber in active use today.
Hsitory and Personality: TBD
