This is another Deity I'm using in my foreign pantheon. However this one isn't quite as original as the last one. I originally included her in a mini-campaign...in a sort of "practise run" for the eventual campaign. I liked the idea of what she could stand for though and figured that she'd make a decent Deity.
This Alessa is a hybradised version of the game and movie canon.
She was summoned by a madman from another dimensio. As such, she is only a reflection of the original "Alessa," but she is still afforded great power. She is a perversion of a young girl's wish for revenge, embodied in several forms.
I'll post the rules for "Liquid Pain" in a later entry, with another Deity who needs the rules.
Before then, you'll have to wait or buy the relevent book.
------------
Alessa: -
Alignment = CE
Prefered Weapon = Knife (Dagger)
Domains...
She is a perverted incarnation of the a girl's wish for revenge. She is Neutral Evil.
Her followers simply call themselves "The Order"
They are composed of power-hungry evil-doers, most of them lunatics or bearing some kind of hateful grudge and want vengeance.
Mostly though, they're all absoloutely mad.
Her portfolio encompasses corruption, grief, madness, vengeance and pain. She offers salvation from that by revelling in it and giving in to those feelings.
Her followers believe (although most of them are mad) that she will allow them to live in piece by cleansing the world, by bringing an "enlightened" view of the world where all people will simply accept their madness...
Because of her erratic and chatotic nature though, she can not have many followers, thus dooming her to failure. This doesn't stop her trying though.

Notes from original: -
The most noticeable group in Silent Hill is a corrupted version of Gnostic Christianity known simply as The Order. This cult has been divided into three different sects (although still connected) with the time: the Valtiel sect, the Holy Mother sect and the Saint Ladies sect.
