Cuban Pete fumbled the Lazarus ritual and now you need some quick consequences for whatever sits upright wearing his brother’s mouldering carcass? This should cover you.

Roll once on each column, slap an Urge stat (20%-80%) on the results and you’re good to go. Some of the combinations are a little janky at a glance, but still workable. How do you ‘acquire self’? Put my bones into the proper grave or else. ‘Express GMC’? I always hated/loved/felt-overwhelmingly-indifferent-towards them and now I’m not going to waste this second chance to prove it. ‘Embody action?’ I only feel alive when I’m running. ‘Create PC?’ ...uh, time travel grandparent possession or a magickal cloning version of Single White Female?

Here’s an example:

Cargnan the All-Seeing aka Murray Garfield (5/8/3/1) really, really, really wanted to be a mall Santa when he was alive. Not in a sick way (actually kinda, it’s probably not healthy to want anything that much), he just got really fixated on the holiday season in a way that made him want to share his childhood recollections of joy with others. Unfortunately the mall Santa circuit in a small rural town is a pretty stitched up racket, so it took years before he finally got called for a fill-in gig at the bowling alley out by the interstate. Then he got hit by a car on the way to work.

As demons go Murray is affable and straightforward, he’ll go along to get along so long as he gets the chance to spread a little of the Christmas cheer he was denied in life. Honest, he knows what he wants is downright benign in comparison to some of the other things out there and he’s willing to broadcast that as a bargaining chip. It’s not as though he can lie about it. Just give him a red velvet jacket, a pillow and an audience of happy kids and he’ll be satisfied ...and, wait, now what’s up with this beard? You can’t do Santa without a proper beard! WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS YOU COCKSUCKING MOTHERFUCKERS!? YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS TO SANTA?! NOT A CHANCE! I WON'T GO BACK THIS TIME! YOU CAN’T MAKE ME! YOU’RE ALL GOING ON MY LIST! HO HO HO!

Like I said, downright benign.
