Heavenly nemesis: Angel of Mental Health, hormone pills.
Example of its influence in your life: Yesterday, after not enough sleep and with a lack of caffeine in my system, someone made the mistake of telling a half-funny joke. I wound up with my head on the table in tears of insane, loud laughter, and I'm pretty sure half the people around me were giving me strange looks.

Heavenly Nemesis: None, he rarely attempts to draw the ire of others.

Example of his influences in my life: I am a body builder so I in advertantly scare people. I have a high highly developed memory (see into the past) and I can anticipate what people are about to say (looking into the future). I do not rule over 26 legions of hell but I can own on Mechwarrior living legends. Finally I like to socialise under pleasent circumstances.

Demon Name: Ver, the demoness of your conscience
Demon power: the ability to make you regret everything you've done, and remind you of it constantly, as well as making you go through it in your head.
Heavenly Nemesis: The Angel of Letting Go
Example of that influence: remember when you screwed up with that person you like? And all you could think about was how you could have done things, what could have been? And no matter what, you couldn't stop thinking about it? And at the same time, you were thinking about how you accidentally killed your pet fish, got kicked out of a class, were bullied by someone, and so on and so forth. Yeah, that's her fault.

This is my personal demon. Please make her go away.
My personal too. I call it "Culpa" (guilty) and the angel "Foda-se" (fuck it).

Demon name: He Who Procrastinates.

Power: The ability to convince people that they can leave whatever task they may have until later. "Pfft. Do it later, it'll be fine!"

Heavenly nemesis: The embodiment of punctuality.

Example of its influence: I once put off writing an English essay until the night before, when I stayed up until 4:00AM to finish it and ended up getting 2 hours sleep and, as a result, snoozing through maths. Many other examples.
This jerk appears to a lot of people here. Including me.
