Roleplaying a Lesser

Lessers are Luck Demons who are born in and of the Abyss.

Motives
A Lesser is motivated by simple things. Inflicting suffering, enforcing their will, feeding off emotions, food, pampering, respect, or even interest will entice these creatures.

Self-Centered
Lessers think very highly about themselves, especially in comparison to mortals. They may defend their master, who is seen as a status symbol, but otherwise the Lesser will always remain at the pinnacle of its own world.

Meanspirited
Lessers make terrible friends. They will belittle and mock wherever possible. This is because they feed on the negative emotions of others, but it is also because they have no social inhibitions. Lessers are not "nice" unless they're trying to get something from you. A Lesser's awfulness is what brings it joy.

Spineless
Lessers have very little to fear and are highly reward-driven, but they care only for themselves. Lessers will not make sacrifices or make truly selfless choices, and at the end of the day they will crumble under any amount of force.

Clever
Lessers are curious and persistent. They are naturally interested in the world of their master and are especially resourceful. It is not uncommon for a Lesser to know just as much about their master's abilities as they do.

Playful
Lessers find amusement in everything. If they can't be persuaded with promises and food, something funny works just as well.

Joy
Lessers experience joy, but not towards the things common mortals do. Joy is usually linked to the suffering of others. Even others' doubt, boredom, frustration, and loneliness are causes for joy to a demon. Lessers can also derive pleasure from mortal activities like eating, sex, and sleep, but these activities are not as fulfilling to a Lesser's contentment as watching others suffer.

Fear
Lessers only experience fear when it pertains to their status or treatment. They are only fearful of losing something they cherish, such as their pact conditions.

Sadness
Lessers do not experience sadness. They may experience emotions like dread and hopelessness, but depression and weeping fall outside of their emotional limits. They will not cry at your funeral, unless they're crocodile tears.

Regret
Lessers do not experience regret unless it ties directly into fearfulness. For example, a Lesser may regret an action if it's lead to them losing something.

Remorse
While Lessers can regret, they cannot feel guilt. Their moral decisions are based entirely on their own self-gain. Rarely are they truly empathetic.

Love
Lessers can experience lust, obsession, and infatuation, but they do not love or care for anyone besides themselves.
