Combat: Michael does not normally fight, and if he does he uses whatever weapons are suitable for his current disguise.
Equipment: Whatever is appropriate to his current role.
Encumbrance: Varies
Weakness: Abhorrent Material (salt)
Vis: 2 pawns of Muto in his heart (Infernally tainted)
Appearance: Michael appears as he needs to for his latest role. As a demon, he doesn't need, nor does he have, a 'natural' form.
Michael (he likes taking the name of a famous angel) is a minor demon who tempts people to wrath. He sets up elaborate, painful, and humiliating practical jokes, and makes sure that he is seen in the form of one of the victim's friends while doing so. If possible, he ensures that the victim sees him, in the form of the friend, laughing at their misfortune before running away.
He normally stays around to watch the resulting confrontation, because if it isn't heated enough he sets up another, even more hurtful, joke. He is especially happy if both friends become angry, and the friendship is ruined. Since both parties feel that the other was unreasonable, sometimes they can nurse their anger for years, which is exactly what Michael wants.
While Michael's jokes are normally painful and humiliating, they are almost never fatal. He wants people to sin so that they damn their souls, not die and possibly go to Heaven.
