Full Name: Victor Ceniza Apparent Age: 20s Occupation: Disaffected Youth Demeanor: Rebel Flaws of Note: Mystical Aura, Scent of the Grave Advantages of Note: Palo Mayombe Plot Hooks ♦ Crime/Street: Victor Ceniza, or Cen as he's known, is no stranger to life on the street. ♦ Occult: He's known to be a practitioner of Palo Mayombe, also known as Las Reglas de Congo, a religion with various denominations which developed in Cuba among Central African slaves and their descendants who originated in the Congo Basin. Denominations often referred to as "branches" of Palo include Mayombe, Monte, Briyumba, and Kimbisa. The Spanish word palo (stick) was applied to the religion in Cuba due to the use of wooden sticks in the preparation of altars, which were also called la Nganga, el caldero, nkisi or la prenda. Priests of Palo are known as Paleros. Initiates are known as ngueyos or pino nuevo. The Demimonde "Never trust a Demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does ... Ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent." "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit." "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit." "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit." "They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls." "Les Invisibles view themselves as being of two sides; however, the gros-bon-ange, or soul, is seen as a whole and includes the Shadow. To Les Invisibles, the Shadow is an essential part of the soul, although one perhaps darker than Les Invisibles would care to be. The other part of the soul is the ti-bon-ange, or conscience, which separates and disappears when a person dies. It is the loss of the ti-bon-ange that drives some wraiths to their darker sides in death." Gallery
