Playing The Seraphim

Self-sacrificing, intrusive, sanctimonious, and

patronizing. The Seraphim lives to prove how much
better they are than the helpless people they rescue.
They put themself in harm’s way for the sake of others,
then proudly proclaim what a good person that makes
them. To the Seraphim, everybody can benefit from
their aid, whether the victim wants it or not.

Every light casts a shadow, so both stat options for the

Seraphim include Dark 2. Some Seraphim are calculating
and passive-aggressive when they provide aid (Cold 1),
while others revel in the allure of their seemingly sweet
demeanor (Hot 1).

The Seraphim’s specialty lies in healing and rescuing

others, but every act of apparent benevolence serves to
strengthen their self-righteousness. Their moves serve
to keep victims from ever learning to save themselves,
reinforcing the Seraphim’s role as a white knight others
have to rely on; whether they like it or not.

The Seraphim
You’re the saving grace humanity didn’t know they needed. Others might not
appreciate the kindness you show them, but everybody learns how necessary
you are eventually. Your methods don’t matter, so long as they see how
helpful you are, right?

Nobody thinks they need to be rescued, but you’ll show them how wrong
they are. And when you’re finished playing guardian angel, they better be
grateful.

Darkest Self
If they don’t want your help,
then you’ll give them hell. After
all, what’s a demon but a fallen
angel? Reveal your true form,
with countless eyes and wings
and flames of righteous fury,
ready to rain down upon those
who don’t appreciate your
benevolence. You escape your
darkest self when somebody else
risks themselves to save you.
