Manse: The House of the Oasis: This five-dot manse in Malfeas, aspected to Cecelyne, was built for Viridian Inkwell by a troupe of artisans of the Second Circle as a gift to celebrate his mastery of the Sapphire Circle of sorcery. It is maintained in his absence by several dozen highly-favored lesser demons, who are exceedingly glad to serve a master who is frequently tolerant and even more frequently absent. The House of the Oasis is a pleasantly-appointed townhouse on the edge of the desert, with a few gardens and springs, but its truly noteworthy feature is the summoning chamber with its sapient binding circle. The manse's hearthstone is the Legion-Calling Bead, which allows the bearer to benefit from the powers of the Host-Binding Circle manse feature and reduces the cost of spells that benefit from Cecelyne's initiation by five motes, to a minimum of 10m.

Viridian Inkwell was born a child of Great Forks, and was blessed at birth with an endowment from Livilla, a goddess whom his parents had loyally served. However, the God-Blood never lived up to the promise his enchanted heritage had seemed to offer, and the most prestigious schools of the city declared him unteachable. In truth, Inkwell suffered from a form of autism, which Creation's education systems were unequipped to handle. After a miserable experience in several academies, having suffered more than he could take from the ministrations of bullies or his parents perceived disappointment, Inkwell ran away from home at the age of eighteen. In the wilderness, a gethin appeared before him and offered him the chance to unlock his hidden potential. Viridian Inkwell accepted the offer and the Infernal Exaltation.

Inkwell understands that his Yozi masters have a hard time conceptualizing the reality of other beings. He doesn't really understand them himself. It is therefore his self-appointed mission to understand the complexities at the heart of personality and self. He has attached himself to a circle of Celestial Exalts, thinking that this group will provide him with plenty of opportunities to see free will in action and give him plenty to do. If they want to expunge the forces of the dreaded Neverborn from Thorns, hey, it keeps the Althing happy, and it gives Inkwell time to tinker around in the back rooms.

Inkwell emerged from his Chrysalis Grotesque with an almost unrecognizably handsome face and body, of which he could previously have only dreamed. His hair is a pale shade of gold and his eyes are a limpid gethin green. He is prone to remain very still while thinking, and then explode into a frenzy of action, possibly ill-considered. The confidence with which he moves during manic periods sometimes causes casual acquaintances to underestimate how awkward he feels during his more common melancholy phases.

Unique Charms:

Incorporation of Subservient Efforts Cost: ---, Mins: Essence 3, Type: Permanent, Prerequisites: Experimental Acceleration Mastery

It is not good for the Principle of Hierarchy to work alone, and she is at her best when multiple subordinates divide the manual labor amongst themselves. When working with assistants on a complex project, such as artifact or manse construction, the speed modifier provided by this Charms prerequisite is increased by one for each success provided by assistants, up to a maximum increase of (Essence x 5). The rules for utilizing assistants in crafting may be found in Oadenol's Codex.

Boundless Empty Promises Cost: ---, Mins: Essence 4, Type: Permanent Prerequisites: Bestowal of Accursed Fortune, Scoured Perfection of Form

Cecelyne's infinite power flows without limit into the needy, leaving them slaves to her law. This Charm improves Verdant Emptiness Endowment, allowing the Infernal to bestow multiple dots or mutations with a single activation, up to the target's normal maximums, so long as the complete result is a logical fulfillment of the original wish. The Infernal may bestow up to (Essence) dots of traits and (Essence x 5) points of mutations. The target owes the Infernal one favor for each dot or positive mutation bestowed, but the cost to reject the entire gift remains one point of Willpower.
