Your body is not your own. It is shared with another. The thoughts you hear are not just your own. The feelings you have are not just your own. The madness crawling around in your mind is not just your own. Your skin ripples because another face hides beneath the surface.
This is the existence of the Demon Escort.
Their adult life is spent trying to keep their demon under control, while holding back the madness this can create. People call them the “Burdened”, and often offer coin to help them on their way. Making sure not to touch them in the process, people offer what they can to the Demon Escort, and due to this the Demon Escort rarely uses, carries, or needs, coin of their own.
Easily recognized by the bright white fur cloaks they wear, the path of a Demon Escort is never obstructed by people, no matter how busy the street may be.
The blue tattoo that marks the Demon Escort, is a show of the Demon’s strength that the Escort carries, and is shown as an interweaving line of blue that starts near the center of the chest.
The madness that can be caused by a demon within the mind of another, affects many Escorts, most in fact, and creates other problems. Many Escorts attempt suicide when it becomes too much to bare, quickly realizing that because of the Demon, normal methods to do so, often do not work.
Escorts that have fallen to the madness, become a much larger problem. The human half can only scream in the background of the Demon’s mind as the Demon gains control over the body, often using it in whatever twisted fashion they wish.
The life of a Demon Escort is one of isolation, madness, and despair, as they walk the ground of So’Var.
