[QUOTE="Ryan Koppenhaver, post: 1171132, member: 2423"] Well, there's certainly room for that too: Make the Defenders deal with obnoxious caterers and the like. I think that portraying devils in a lighthearted way is likely to compromise the seriousness of the overall game. Besides, the DoD are perfectly capable of making their own levity, even in the face of ruthless evil: "We've got your bra!", etc. Well, the demon/devil redemption concept certainly predates Sep's SH, and I doubt that there'd be any more than superficial similarites if PC took this concept and ran with it... But back to the rat-bastardly brainstorming: Maybe Agar's bride isn't "good", per se, but she's really, really likeable. She's attractive*, good-natured, has a sense of humor, shares a lot of Agar's interests (maybe even has a level or two of alienist herself), and generally keeps the whole "evil" thing under wraps. * Unfortunately, barring an extreme level of immersive roleplaying, just telling the players this doesn't evoke the kind of visceral reaction that it would in a real life situation. If you want to be a [b]real[/b] rat bastard, find an attractive woman to step in and play the character. Be sure to train her to cry if the PCs are mean to the bride. (Obviously, this isn't very effective if Agar's player is female, married, not into women, etc. It might still be funny, though.) [/QUOTE]
