[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9386384, member: 6790260"] Well, at least three things come to mind. "God works in mysterious ways." Read: you are asked to do things by your BAAP (Biblically-Accurate Angel Patron) that...seem really goddamn [I]bizarre[/I]. "Dump a bag of sugar into the main well of this town before you leave." "Feed every stray cat you see today." "Go to the farmer's son and tell him, 'Your prayer will be answered.'" "There is a new flask of oil in your pack. Without being seen, replace your barbarian's flask of lamp oil with this oil." Etc., etc. The angel is coordinating the geometry of the multiverse. It sees what you cannot. It [I]knows[/I] what you cannot. And the Warlock is its mortal agent, nudging, adjusting, tweaking, preparing the world for its mysterious but benevolent designs. "FEAR NOT." A Celestial Warlock who summons aid...gets things that are just really freaky. Hundreds of eyes. Wings and mouths in places that make no sense. Limbs sticking out at odd angles. Booming, deafening, [I]terrifying[/I] voices. Etc. The celestial plane is benevolent and provides aid and comfort. Nobody promised it would be [I]pretty[/I]. Such characteristics may flow over into the Warlock. Maybe they don't "sleep" so much as sit, upright, staring with glowing eyes for six hours--in transcendental communion with all that is good and holy. Maybe, when they cast a healing spell, for a moment, they seem covered in eyes, or have wings jutting at literally impossible angles. Maybe the surface of their pact weapon reflects not what others see, but what the Warlock sees. Etc. "Judgement time." You are the executor of divine justice, lawbinder, oathkeeper. You know every oath every woman has sworn, every promise every man has broken, every lie every child has told. You can see them, crawling across faces and swimming behind eyes. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? [I]The Angel knows[/I]. And it does not like what it sees. You are here to correct those...imperfections. By aid and comfort, if possible; by violence, if necessary. [/QUOTE]
