What's Your Demon?

For my inquisitor it would be either desire or envy, as he wants to belong and being a qunari vashoth has made that next to impossible.

Rage: No. Not really. Like, the last time I had an argument was 4 months ago. That's good enough.
Hunger: I'm on a cut, not once have I messed up on my diet. So I'm definitely good here.
Desire: I want DAI so bad. And a few other things... Yeah, Desire Demon would definitely have something to tempt me with, but I don't want any "objects" besides DAI so I don't think I'd fall for it.
Sloth: Sometimes. I get my homework done quick and I never miss a gym day, but I haven't even bothered to apply for a job since my first few attempts and I'm 17. Sort of wasted Summer's job opportunities.
Pride: I'm pretty humble, have no desire for fame or riches. There is literally nothing Pride Demon could do, and what good is pride in something if it was given to you easily?
Despair, Fear, Envy, Remorse.
Oh god, 13 year old puberty rebel-child that I was I would have been destroyed by all those demons And all the other ones too (except Sloth and maybe Hunger). Maybe demons ARE puberty hormones?? That'd explain a lot for me. Anyways, I actually feel pretty good knowing that none of those affect me anymore.
So, I'd say Sloth demon would get to me the most. I focus on things too much and forget about the future (I should really get min wage job soon)
Well that was fun. Thanks for the little self-reflection prompt ![]()

It's still Canon unless someone official says otherwise.
It wasn't written by any of the BioWare staff either, which is why it is in a sort of "canon-limbo".
And how do you know that the Fade isn't filled to the Brim with the Souls of Millions of dead People. The Fade could be effing big for all we know about it. Perhaps it doesn't even have Limits. OR, as I think, People like Demons or Mages are able to keep the Souls of the Dead inside the Fade.
Because mages who visit the Fade nightly don't stumble across the souls of the deceased constantly?
Aaaand where do you take that from? I don't think I can remember any Instance where the Demons who kept inside the Illusion of a Desire Demon die (that is a Difference from that Sloth Demon, maybe, because the Desire Demon Illusion was not inside the Fade itself). In Fact, the Desire Demon wanted "to feel like a mortal" or something along these lines. It is never stated that it would kill that Templar and it itself states, it just wants to be left alone, as it has everything it wants. That doesn't really imply "I'm going to suck the Life out of that Guy and then do so with other People" to me. As I said, to see the Demons and their Powers as inherently evil is false.
That is what demons do. They leech off of people, draining them of life, and when they are withered husk no longer usable by the demon, they move on. Unless you are a mage, in which case they take over your body entirely and erase every last vestige of your being.
Because the Demon is not the giant Ass you make it out to be and keeps his End of the Bargain. I mean, what does it loose? Why does it keep People like Niall or the other Dreamers you meet in it's Fade Realm alive despite them being dead? In Fact, there is Evidence of it not just "snuffing out Souls". Which is why I would be optimistic about it keeping it's End of the Deal. I can never be sure, if that's what you want to hear, but I see my Odds as being pretty good.
It considers you nothing more than a slave. Why do you think it wants to keep you docile? Because if you start rebelling it can no longer leech off of you. And there is no evidence at all that it maintains illusions for dead souls. It should also be mentioned that some of the other people it had captured in its dreamscape were going through their absolutely worst nightmares. So OBVIOUSLY the demon has no interrest in placating you. It just wants you too docile or terrified to resist it.
There are two problems as I see it. 1: That you think ANY deal with a demon is benign. 2: That you would even accept a deal from a demon to begin with.
But I'm tired now and we're derailing the Thread. If you're interested in continuous Discussion, PM me. Good Night.
I wouldn't say we are derailing since we are discussing the nature of demons. But sure.

Rage and/or Desire.

Rage desire, despair..... I rage because I don't get what I desire, and then I despair. I'd be highly susceptible to all the demons. ![]()

This is actually an interesting thing to think about.
I'd say sloth, because I am hella lazy when it comes to things I don't want to do.
But the most destructive force in my life is my anxiety...so fear, I'd say. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of being noticed, fear of a bajillion minor missteps that only really matter in the endlessly replayed scenarios in my head. It would be sadly easy for a fear demon to paralyze me completely.
For my main Inquisitor, her demon would be desire. Desire for a whole world, for true personal freedom, for somebody who understands her and is willing to love her as is.

for me, fear , i worry about everything in real life, to the point it affects my life.

Desire. I've always wanted things that were beyond my reach. Pride is a close second. My ego sometimes causes me to act badly.

Sloth. I'm not very motivated to do labor and like goofing off.

I think your putting way too much damn faith in Sloth Demons. The fugging definition of "Demon" is: evil spirit. It's not really going to give you eternal happiness. Your just food to it. After its done eating you its off to find its next victim, then your illusion is gone and your dead.

My worst ones in real life would be:
- Fear / Despair - I've always been closer to my family than anyone else, and didn't have many friends in school (I was the "uncool" and shy kid). The scariest thing to me is the thought of losing my family, especially in a horrific manner. That is something I can see Despair and/or Fear demons playing on really easily, for me anyway.
- Sloth - I'm a huge procrastinator, at least on schoolwork. Lol. But I do take pride in my work and work hard when I'm not putting things off.
For my characters, I like the idea of trying different demons with them. A prideful inquisitor sounds really interesting to me, and maybe one that is susceptible to rage or despair. It really depends on what happens in the game. ![]()

Fear would possibly be the one closest to me right now.

Anxiety demon? So Fear, I suppose. It's the root cause of most of my problems and what holds me back in real life. That said, depending on how demons operate, any could work with anxiety. Sloth demon could use that fear to make you procrastinate. Desire/Hunger demons making you long for what you don't have. Rage demon feeding on your frustrations. The only one I'd struggle to fit in there is Pride - maybe feeding on the feeling that you deserve better.
My Inquisitor would probably be the target of a Pride demon. Not necessarily because she is proud, but because she is obsessed with living up to the clan's pride and not disappointing them.

Pride and Despair. I'm too prideful for my own good even when I know it could lead to a pretty bad end and as for despair, I suffer from Anxiety and have for a very long time.
