Oi Dono, the Paper Folder
Demon of the Second Circle
Indulgent Soul of Noh
The Paper Folder himself has the seeming of an old wizened man of the West, with a beard so long he must wrap it around his waist eleven times to avoid it trailing on the ground. Each of his hands have nine fingers, and he drives a wagon pulled by goats filled with his paper-making supplies when he must travel. He dresses simply, eats only plain rice and unflavoured vegetables, and drinks only the water he uses to boil his food. Lavish things offend him personally and ostentatious wealth prompts him to make paper creatures to tear it down. When he walks Creation, birds lay eggs with too-thin shells and dropped quills always point towards the Pole of Wood.
Oi Dono has seventeen shops within the Demon City, three upon the slopes of Qaf, one owned in the Nighthammer district of Nexus (which is almost always closed), and one which was destroyed long ago by Isidoros. All of these are but reflections of his true workshop, however, which sits upon the black moon of Malfeas and which has only ever seen the Contrary One as a client.
In these places, Oi Dono makes marvels from paper. With the right inks made from the ground up substance of the thing he is copying, he can make a bird that flies and sings, a manse that forms paper hearthstones, or even something that can pass as a human being. Alas, whatever he makes is still paper, and so is ruined by water, though he knows of special varnishes made from demon-blood that slow the process - though he claims they ruin the aesthetic beauty and so tries to avoid their use whenever possible. Naturally, he also hates fire in all its forms, for it destroys his work easily.
Sorcerers call upon the Paper Folder for his demonic mastery of origami. His paper dolls can replace the king of a nation or produce an assassin who will never talk under torture, while one of his giant paper birds might convey someone across nations. He is a craftsman, and even when bound he must be paid a fair price for his work, though he will take many strange things in payment to be sold in the markets of his cousin Marikos. He gains Limit when forced to witness extravagant or wasteful lavishness. Oi Dono can crawl forth from Malfeas when something or someone beautiful is destroyed to great mourning, leaving only a fragment. He will arrive in his cart, offering to make a replacement - for a price.
