Prank , Impud. of D. Humor , Habbalah of D. Humor. He is Knight of Derision
and Captain of Repartee.
In resent years he worked together with servitors of Nybbas and has even
got some reward for inventing some satirical and cynical talkshows. So
he now is also Knight of influence, and has the Sublimial attunement.
He also created the following new attunement:
With this you can give someone or some institution a bad reputation
(Examples <see below>). First draw a picture, perform a parody or
write a text. If succsessful, then the check digit halved (round UP) is
the negative social modifier the victim gets from the first 13 persons
who see or hear this satirical work and fail the will role. This effect
lasts for check digit weeks. The affected people continue to spread
this to other people. But for the second hand hearer or spectator the social
modifier is reduced to -1. So after some telling around, the joke looses
his effect. Live performances on TV do work also, but they do not attract
more victims.
>Do you remember the last time you heard the bad joke about the young
men who want to become a catholic priest, just like his father ? Now your
are sitting in mass and the guy in black talks to you about the sin of
flesh. What does he know of the pleasure of flesh, perhaps even too much.
Why is he trying to make his guilt and complexes your own ? Well, you can
only laugh at him. Forget about his rubbish you will do it your way, he
has no more moral authority over you."
>There was a little picture in the newspaper showing the governor proclaiming
that he raised a million from the state funds to build shelters for the
homeless. But in his back you see the building contractor and that is his
brother. Later when the elections are held, somebody vows to better the
lives of the poor and you remember the only people who will be better off
are him and his family. So you decide not to vote for him and his plans.
Ribesal is a known servitor to Kobal, who gained the word Satire recently.
His work is mainly to denounce all authorities and respected people. Therefore
he uses songs, poetry, caricature and performances all to reduce the respect
people have for their leaders and societies. A special "friend"
of Riebesal are the churches, which he constantly harrass. As the people
laugh at the church, they loose the confidence to the church beeing a institution
of moral authority.
DISCLAIMER: I want not to say that satire and caricature is bad or demonic.
If there is none you are living in a very oppressed society. But I want
just show you how this could become a fine tool for the more subtle demons.
