Well for starters they will be a bit more in control than your standard Calabim. They start with out the discord and they can make the death look like the rotting of time. I could see them as something like a stalker. I know this is your typical Djinn idea but what can tear things up as spectacularly as a stalker. No longer feeling safe- not knowing when she will turn up- those that get in the way aged beyond recognition.

Though Kronos is not one of the princes I do much with

A business, theatrical or other type of agent, who leads clients down dead end career paths while sapping their youth with every visit, as her corrosive aura ages them more and more the longer they spend with her.

This is an option, or maybe the old lady who;s everybody's beloved aunt/grandmother, and who's always there with a shoulder to cry on, a hot cup of tea, and some relationship advice...

That is really good. Destroying an award winning uplifting actress. Ever wonder why we don't have another Katherine Hepburn? Well, now you know...

First seems to work. The second...nothing says Calabim about that. It could just as easily be any other Band in a slinky outfit.

Except that that's the type of Calabim that Valefor himself is -- one who subtly destroys security measures getting to a treasure, and then destroys confidence and security by taking it. Entropy takes many forms ...

Seems VERY subtle for a Calabim, but then, I was looking for the unusual.

Except Valefor isn't a Calabim. But I'm not telling

One of my current villains, though not a Calabite herself, is a Lilim of Theft with the Calabite attunement on the side. Very useful for getting rid of paper trails when her clients Need to act outside the law... ;-)> Not all entropy works by bashing and smashing, remember!

I'm remembering "Lilith" from Supernatural season 4.

"Do what I want, or " >smash< "You love me don't you?".

Even an adult woman can play that, if she's willing to act childish. Smashing things to punish people, or just to remind them that she can. Or just for the hell, er Hell, of it.

Yes, but how do you boil a bunny without causing disturbance?

Since when does a Calabite care about Disturbance? :)

EDIT: Hmmm, though I wonder: if the Role has been set up as psychotic (an escaped mental patient, say), would that be enough to cover the Disturbance of an action like that? It'd give some increased freedom for action, at the cost of having to constantly dodge mortal authorities who might recognize your Vessel. Interesting possibilities....

One of the player characters in my Daybreak campaign is a female Calabite of Hardcore (formerly Lust). She likes to DJ events and whip people into a sexual frenzy, then, once everyone is *ahem* entwined, starts to shift the music to angrier/heavier stuff. Hilarity (for her) often ensues.
