ANKHARA, THE
DOMINION: Dreams
DIRECTIVE: FIXED
CLASSIFICATION: Oneiric Demon, Collector
FACTION: None, Collectors are stanch individualists
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION: Taurus
APPEARANCE: The Ankhara has many forms, however she favors appearing as a female. It is unknown if this is her actual gender, or indeed if she has any gender at all. She has appeared as a stunning woman in a scarlet and gold jester’s outfit. The scarlet of the costume so dark as to almost be black. In this form her pale face is made up with overly rosy cheeks, and sport sinister, coal black eyes.
BACKGROUND: Granddaughter of the legendary Demon Asmodeus, who is ruler of all gambling houses in the Judeo-Christian Hell (Asmodeus himself has a longer lineage than the Christian faith, having appeared first in Persian traditions before being incorporated into Talmudic lore), The Ankhara is a betting spirit. Confined to the Dreaming, the actual name of The Ankhara is unknown at this time (which makes summoning and binding impossible). One of the vast class of "demons" known as "Collectors", this particular creature is addicted to gaming in all its forms and has a taste for melodramatic performers. This, along with the vaguely Egyptian sobriquet, are thought to be connected to her demonic ancestors attributes. The association with the sign Taurus is unclear at this point, other than the fact that the fallen angel Asmodel (no known relation) governs this sign. The Ankhara is encountered in dreams (see below).
KNOWN ABILITIES: Existing primarily in the realm of Dream, the Ankhara’s powers are assumed to be incredibly fluid. It is known, as she is a gambling demon, that her terms are her bond. Being a Collector inevitably means that she has the power to contract souls to be payable on Death. She has been observed shapeshifting, and can materialize and dematerialize at will while in Oneiric space. The demon has been known to attempt to seize souls against their will by exerting a powerful, vacuum-like force.
MODUS OPERANDI: The Ankhara will challenge dreamers to games of will, chance, or skill (sometimes all three) in a bid for their souls. Oftentimes the demon has, or claims to have, possession of the dreamer’s friends, and will put their souls at stake as well. She favors ethical dilemmas as a means of testing and breaking her opponent’s wills. Staying true to first principles and denying the demon's lies appear to be the best way to overcome her schemes. A sore loser, the demon has been known to attack overtly when outclassed.
RITUAL NOTES: As "The Ankhara" is a title and not a proper name there are as yet no known rituals that are capable of summoning or otherwise affecting her. Hexes and dream sigils of power have proven effective against her in outright combat when she is encountered in her native habitat, unbidden by the dreaming mage.

MR. BEEP
DOMINION:Electronic Communication
DIRECTIVE:Entropic
CLASSIFICATION: Technomantic Demigod
FACTION: The Howling (a.k.a. Wild Horde)
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION: Aries
APPEARANCE:
(In Nature) A slick looking business man of uncertain European/Asian descent wearing a charcoal grey double breasted power suit. Always talking on a cell phone while walking/driving the latest SUV (except the H2, has problems with its military background). If seated in a cafe will likely be working on laptop using the cafe's free wireless, and talking on his cellphone via a headset.
(When Summoned): Should appear pretty much as above, but wearing a sparkling WHITE single breasted suit and carrying the smallest cell phone then available.
BACKGROUND: Mr. Beep is the member of the modern day Wild Horde dedicated to the destruction of human communication, and thus one of the most pernicious and powerful of all the modern Goetia.
KNOWN ABILITIES: Can disrupt any kind of digital/electronic communication. Claims territory as his "own" by making "dead zones" where telecommunications devices cannot work. Can split off parts of his being in order to be virtualy omnipresent. It is theorized that Mr. Beep can possess a human host.
MODUS OPERANDI:It is Mr. Beep who breaks up your cell phone conversation right at the moment you are receiving critical instructions to get where you are going. Beep who presses the "call" button on a cell and leaves three minute pointless messages on your answering machines. Most sinister of all is Mr. Beep predilection’s for calling cell phones and pagers and leaving a repeating "beep" message. This is Mr. Beep attempting to cross the threshold between the Wired and Consensus for he needs a human host to do so. It is unknown what Mr. Beep would do with possession of a human body, although it is likely that many cell phone related driving accidents are a direct result of that process. Usually works through homunculi referred to commonly as "Beeplings".
RITUAL NOTES: Summoning requires the desecration/veneration of a cell phone or other digital communication device. Mr. Beep responds to both passion and precision. Mr. Beep is very vain and it is possible to appease him with elaborate displays of flattery.
CLASSICAL NAME:Unknown, Mr. Beep is considered the modern day Anti-Hermes.
