Professional GM, with lots of experience and not a lot of money. Possibly a wizard, a frog and/or a frog wizard.
- A very old OC of mine that was originally meant to exist in the setting of Scooby Doo And The Ghoul School (yes, really)
- Hell as portrayed by Nobilis by Dr. Moran
- and obviously the lore of In Nomine itself, with the way it partitions reality. Does Hedonism belong to Gula or Lust? We'll see!

Elements that I have pooled together to create my character for @taliadoesrpgs.smallbird.social 's upcoming In Nomine/Atomic Robo Fate game:
- The name of a devil who appears in the Divine Comedy, Ciriatto
- The decision of the Catholic Church to count pollution as a sin of Gluttony

Man, ask me to pick a favorite vital organ next time, it'll be easier. I guess... gun to my head, right now, it would have to be @jdragsky.bsky.social 's Seven-Part Pact - there is nothing quite like it at the moment in the TTRPG world.

I'm in this game! Come, so my character can talk your ear off about the key differences between Gluttony and Lust!
"Humanity, The World, and the Symphony": the three things that all your Superiors - from the Heavenly Host and the Infernal Lowerachy - can agree must NOT be sacrificed on the altar of armageddon.
It’s Bright & Low-Contrast (optimistic, and Heaven and Hell both have heroes and villains).
