From Gothpoodle

Greater Gaffling, Artificial Spirit, Drug Choir

Description

A dirty, unshaven man with a bottle in a brown paper bag, smelling of cheap booze and old urine.

Storytelling Hints

Wino is only concerned with driving people to the bottle and encouraging them to stay there. It tends to follow the alcoholic homeless but can also be found in bars, at nightclubs, and in the homes of those who need a drink to unwind after work. It often uses its Mortal Mask numina to appear as a fellow bar patron, wino, or sympathetic bartender and drain away the will of the target to resist.

Wino has been in the city since its inception, gathering around those in despair and those trying to enjoy themselves and encouraging them to turn to alcohol. It is a spirit of alcoholism more than alcohol. It is an old and respected member of the Drug Choir and is close to becoming a Jaggling.
