Angel of Kinky Sex

1). Kandiel looks good in everything. You could drop her in a vat of split pea soup and not make her one bit less alluring. She can even wear the latest Paris fashions and still be an active danger to people with heart conditions.

2). Kandiel can look into a human's eyes and determine precisely what that person considers a really, really good time … whether the person consciously knows it or not. Bear in mind that the Word is "Kinky Sex", not 'molestation' or 'involuntary sex': anyone whose idea of a good time doesn't involve consenting, sentient adults, and indulges him or herself in Kandiel's presence, may not be long for this world. The angel is a Malakite, after all: her resonance, coupled with this ability, makes her very good at detecting active predators.

3). Those favored with Kandiel's … attentions … will find themselves purged for the next day of guilt for their non-mainstream desires, provided that said desires incorporate consenting, sentient adults. Those unfortunates that do not must roll against Will -6 or else be hammered with guilt for the same amount of time, to the point that they must make Will Rolls once an hour or else attempt to commit suicide. Celestials will not become suicidal, but they will feel the guilt if they fail their original Will -6 roll, which under certain circumstances might cause dissonance.

Rites:

: Help someone learn to accept that their particular tastes don't necessarily make them a bad person. (+2 Essence)

"Suffer not an evil to live, if it is my choice."

"Never surrender or allow myself to be captured by the forces of Lucifer."

"Always try to alleviate a person's unnecessary guilt."

"Never kiss and tell."

Funny, one would think that Dominic would have started screaming over this one.

Laurence certainly would've, but when Kandiel got her Word, Laurence wasn't even a gleam in Uriel's eye. Things were slightly more relaxed about 12,000 years ago, and Eli certainly could be persuasive when he wanted to. Human reproductive behavior has always been difficult (if inherently amusing) for celestials to understand, anyway: assigning an angel to try to get a handle on those who weren't even part of the mortal mainstream probably seemed a good idea at the time. So, Kandiel got her Word, and promptly disappeared from public view. Eli, on those rare occasions when someone remembered her, just smiled and said something reassuring.

When Eli, in his turn, decided to go on walkabout, it took the Triads about six years to work their way down the list to check out Kandiel. They found her running a sex aid shop in Amsterdam, completely unaware (yet not surprised) that her boss had gone AWOL. The Triad in question was confused: Kandiel certainly looked like a pin-up for Andrealphus' annual calendar, but the Malakite was detecting nothing but honor, the Seraph was reading nothing but Truth in her calm statements that she was aiding Heaven, and the Cherub found herself instantly in love. The Word-bound, after 5 hours of increasingly confused-interrogation, insisted that this whole thing get settled now by just going right to the source.

So they went to Heaven. The Malakite made the mistake of calling ahead: by the time they got to the Celestial Tribunal, well, it was amazing how many grinning Servitors of the Wind and War had business with Judgement all of a sudden. What happened next is the cause for many a rumor, garbled story and drunken tale at the Eighth Virtue, but everyone agrees that in the evening Kandiel was a suspect for heresy and the next morning she was a roving agent for Judgement.

Odd, that.

Now, before anyone starts getting the wrong idea, Kandiel has worked out just fine as a temp for Judgement. She combines a firm knowledge of human and celestial psychology with a generally cheerful disposition: that, coupled with her experience in human customs, make her a valuable addition to some of the more baroque investigations that Judgement deals with. She's also invaluable when Heaven has to chase down a particularly nasty sexual predator, of whatever stripe: her abilities allow her to distinguish between those who a danger to their fellow humans from those with simply unusual tastes.

Needless to say, Andrealphus would be very interested in meeting Kandiel: he's said to routinely curse the fact that Malakim cannot Fall. The fact that Kandiel tends to go through his Servitors like a hot knife through butter doesn't dissuade him in the slightest: after all, they're mere Servitors. On the other hand, the Prince of Lust would much rather Kandiel stay right where she is; the idea that there's an actual Angel of Kinky Sex is delicious irony. Just one time, is all he wants (well, he wants lots of times, but one has to be practical), in any permutation she chooses. Just one time, so that when his colleagues make a barbed comment or two about this particular angel, he can lean back and smile. Of course, the Prince of Lust can't conceive of the possibility that she won't be able to resist coming back for more, but that's demonic arrogance for you.
