Week Zero
You are
Ka'Vizaxhell, Lord of Faustian Deals, Supreme Overlord of the Fifteen Hells of Azkethoth, Dealbreaker and Maker, and Lastly but not Leastly, Absolute Master of Desires Now that your extremely long and somewhat cumbersome title is out of the way, here we go...
Welcome to the Mortal World of Arret, more specifically on the continent of Asirema in the Southern Hemisphere. If we were to be even more specific I would welcome you to Ikom, a small, isolated coastal fishing Town numbering roughly 2,000
Souls. Ikom is part of the Asiremite Republic, a relatively small Confederation of States and Towns. Asirema is mostly desert but there is fertile land along rivers, the Asiremite Republic is one out of several Nations on the Continent, and the Nation has contributed very little to either side in the Great War. In theory the Asiremite Republic is part of the Needle-Hook Alliance, however. Oh yes, the Great War, let me explain.
You see, or know innately, most of the Mortal Nations got into a Global War over the assassination of several Politicians. They have more than enough Land and Resources for everyone of them if they only got along but the Mortals always seem to find a reason to kill each other. You just love Mortals. There are Two Factions in the Great War, The Needle-Hook Alliance and The Hardened-Bronze Federation, the Hardened-Bronze Federation is supposedly winning, if only because they have more Territory. In actuality the Two are equally matched and the Great War might drag out for decades in a long bloody stalemate. Or maybe one Side will press the Big Red Button and condemn all of Arret to a Fiery Nuclear Holocaust.
Arret is 1.5 times the size of Earth and is home to over 13 Billion Mortals. There are Hundreds of Nations and Religions, and there are Thousands of Languages, being a Demon Pactmaster you know them all Flawlessly. Arret has 21st Century-level Technology, although Military Tactics haven't evolved much beyond that of WW1.
You currently have 7 Followers, meeting in the Basement of one of them. Doesn't matter which, you can never keep Mortal names straight, it's one of the reasons you use Contracts for Deals. You currently have 10 Power, a mere pittance, barely enough to give someone mild nightmares, you are gaining only 4 Power a week, if you want more Power you'll have to do something Evil, or Destructive, or something. You'll figure it out. You would have much more but you had to expend most of your Power to frighten them into Following You.
You are only able to communicate to one of your Followers, William Oppenheimer, he's 78 years old and is almost completely blind. He's the only Follower able to see your true form and communicate with you. William was once the Mayor of Ikom but then one of his Political Rivals, Franklin Herpit exposed William's horrifying secrets to the Public, ruining his life. William wants nothing more than complete and total Revenge against Franklin, to the point that he sold his Eternal Soul to You in exchange for your solemn Oath that you will destroy Franklin's Life in William's Lifetime. William has terminal lung cancer and will be dead in two months, this is a Problem, as you can imagine.
The other Followers are just several Townspeople still loyal to William, and they're afraid that You will consume their Souls if they don't follow you. They have very little Negative Emotion, apart from some Fear of you. One of Your Followers is the Jonathon Oppenheimer, he's the son of Franklin's Brother-In-Law, he owns a small fishing shop, Your Followers are currently in his shop's Basement.
