Re: Seraphim and Profanity
Scary thought, in a darker and/or low-contrast game: a Superior deliberately afflicting some angel with Discord appropriate to the assumed Role. Giving him a ready-made Addiction, a physically disabled vessel, or the like doesn't seem very Divine; but Archangels who were determined to make their servitors' "cover" believable might go to huge lengths.

Re: Seraphim and Profanity
I figure that a physically disabled vessel is something that could be granted without it being Discord. If it's Discord, it manifests in all vessels (or hosts), whether they were designed with that disability or not, plus it shows up in the celestial form in some fashion. So you could use that in a lighter game, for, say, the Role of a veteran with no legs. (My American History teacher at ACC was in a wheelchair for that reason. Good teacher, too.)
