He cannot speak, his writing appears to be gibberish and even his hand gestures are completely unintelligible to others. All communication attempts on the part of an affected individual automatically fail.<br/><br/>Worse, the effects of this muteness are extremely unnerving for those with whom the Prince even attempts to interact…preternaturally so. For the duration of the Torment, the Infernal also becomes a vector for a magical version of the hysteria disease (see Exalted, p. 352).  This magical disease follows all the normal rules for hysteria except that players of characters exposed to it (whether through direct contact with the Prince or through subsequent contact with an infected person) do not roll (Stamina + Resistance) against hysteria’s normal Virulence.  Instead, compare exposed characters’ Dodge MDVs to the (Essence + primary Virtue) of the Prince being punished. The precise nature of this contagious hysteria is for the Storyteller to decide—hysterical deafness and/or dumbness are both common, but other hysterical beliefs might also be appropriate.<br/><br/>Non-extras may resist the symptoms of this hysteria for one scene by spending one Willpower point or break the effect completely by spending Willpower equal to the Infernal’s Essence.</td></tr><tr><td>Partial Control:</td><td>N/A</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><strong>Willpower:</strong> <strong>••••• •••••</strong> <em>(70xp)</em><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Essence and Charms</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Essence:</strong> <strong>••••• •••••</strong> <em>(24xp)</em><br/><strong>Personal Pool:</strong> 22<br/><strong>Peripheral Pool:</strong> 32/50<br/><strong>Sun-Heart Furnace Soul Pool:</strong> 10/10<br/><strong>Committed:</strong> 18<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">CHARMS</span></strong> <em>(232xp)</em></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>ADORJAN</strong></td><td><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Sacred Kamilla's Inhalation</li><li>Freedom Lets Go</li><li>Tragic Love Amusement</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><strong>KIMBERY</strong></td><td><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Second Kimbery Excellency</li><li>Intolerable Burning Truths (Mother Before Daughter)</li><li>All Things Betray</li><li>Great Mother’s Wame</li><li>Milk of Primordial Kindness</li><li>Water-Demon Conception</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><strong>MALFEAS</strong></td><td><ul class="bbc_list"><li>By Pain Reforged</li><li>By Rage Recast</li><li>Devil-Tyrant Avatar Shintai</li><li>Insignificant Embers Intuition</li><li>Green Sun Nimbus Flare</li><li>Skyfire-Seizing Repast</li><li>Sun-Heart Furnace Soul</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><strong>SHE WHO LIVES IN HER NAME</strong></td><td><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Second SWLIHN Excellency</li><li>Factual Determination Analysis</li><li>Essence-Dissecting Stare</li><li>Mind-Hand Manipulation</li><li>Unseen Force Application</li><li>Chirality Prohibition Index</li><li>Unshattered Tongue Perfection</li><li>Disembodied Voice Tintinnabula</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td><strong>HERETICAL</strong></td><td><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Fourth-Soul Devil Domain</li><li>Perfected Affection Parameter Recalibration</li><li>Idealized Nature-Nurture Concurrence</li><li>Nightmares-Come-True Anagnorisis</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Expanded Backgrounds and Equipment</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Demon-Ink Tattoo (Artifact 3)</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>Summer’s Day Drowned In Poison</em>, an elaborate mural of a lounging neomah sipping chalcanth from a brass chalice that curls across the canvas of his back in a vague circle.

A curious message delivered in the form of an entire village infected with the same memetic vocal tic leads our hero to return to the Western lands of his birth and his mortal family...where Fate itself appears to be frayed and twisted around a newly-unearthed ruin whose Old Realm glyphs proudly proclaim it the sleeping place the Sixth Maiden! Incursions of Fair Folk, Sidereals driven insane, and mounting evidence that <em>literally nothing</em> is as it seems threaten everything Maw once held dear - and might well have spelled certain disaster, if not for his discovery of an unexpected ally in Valiant Reign of Hope, whose own investigation due to her trade interests and a vanished ambassador was well ahead of his own. With her knowledge, resources, and talents in bringing stability to a region coupled to his prowess and desperation, will the pair be able to keep the place from tearing itself apart, shatter the multiplying chains of a false destiny that unattended could birth a new Ishvara, and rescue Maw's family and Vali's citizens from the depths of the Wyld?<br/><br/><strong>Red-Drenched Maw and the Secret of Dog Island (Elias)</strong><br/><br/>Hunting down a sifu who once betrayed his trust leads Red-Drenched Maw to the misty cliffs of Daoshalde, better known as Dog Island, a curious little city-state discovered by an An-Teng exploratory force some six months prior that appears to be run entirely by sentient dogs. Things take a turn for the weird when Maw realizes that rather than sticking out like a sore thumb, a strange encounter suggests his sifu appears to have become a dog like the rest of the island - and his suspicions are deepened upon meeting Elias, there to unravel a string of abductions that had inconvenienced his latest scheme. They soon discover that the whole island is a Third Circle Soul of Szoreny, broken by a botched summoning and obsessed with replicating Creation in canine miniature...in the process, meeting their own decidedly creepy dog dopplegangers. That's when they discover the island isn't just replicating Creation, it's replacing it - violently! Can two Green Sun Princes muster enough guile and ferocity to escape the twisted ambition of an Unquestionable made manifest, before they're devoured alive by their mastiff Mark IIs?</div></div>
