Demi-Wendigo

Overview & Creation

You have been cursed to be the permanent vessel of a demonic spirit of greed. However, perhaps the ritual was interrupted halfway, or the caster got some of the materials wrong because instead of being trapped inside your body to watch the horrors it would commit you have held on to some semblance of control. You now share your body with said demonic spirit and if either of you are to survive you must work together. You now must periodically relinquish control to each other in order for you survive. Will you be able to resist the temptation of the beast? Or will you give in to its dark hunger?
