This never appears to be a problem: for some reason or the other, Ayin is never short of friends willing to spot him some loose change (or their inheritance, or entire estate) in a pinch. His Exaltation has not radically altered his appearance -- the bisclavaret appear mostly human, after all -- except for his hair: upon close examination, his hair is composed entirely of homogeneous shadow, instead of discrete solid strands. The substance is permeable to the touch, although anyone touching it feels a slight resistance, and a pleasant coolness, as if they were running their hands through cool dark water. <br> |

+ | Setsuhou, the bisclavaret serving as Ayin's coadjutor, was well-known among the subsouls of the Ebon Dragon as a consummate spymaster. While they cannot know for sure how much of Setsuhou's memory and resources are open to Ayin (practically none; the Green Sun Prince's powerful ego has all but obliterated all traces of the demon's original self), the fear that some juicy blackmail material is floating around in the back of Ayin's cranium tends to earn him at the very least wary courtesy. | ||

− | + | While Ayin does not enjoy combat, he has found it necessary to develop some capabilities in that arena, and he has done so by ensuring that he never appears to be the aggressor in any conflict. Even if prompted to open hostilities, Ayin always affects an air of injured bewilderment, as if his trust has been betrayed by a sudden and treacherous attack, and his chosen weapons never leave a trace. While in his favourite guise as a Lost Egg Terrestrial, he favours using Principle-Invoking Onslaught to duplicate the effects of an Elemental Bolt Attack.<br> | |
