Which Denarian Coin would you choose?

I was using it as a hypothetical example to explain that we had more interactions with hosts and not with fallen. The We have seen two fallen with different hosts, Ursiel and Magog. For Magog, through Sanya's reporting and by the one that Elder Gruff Killed on DR it seems that he prefers domination. It seemed that Ursiel prefered the same based on the interaction with him in Blood Rites (via Harry's Soul Gaze), but when interacting with the Geno in SG it seemed more interested in a partnership, or was at least unable to dominate the Geno.

We're not really sure whether the soul entirely leaves the building when they turn (Susan remaining willing to be sacrificed suggests it's not instant). I'd gather the Fallen could probably bond with one in a pinch, but given how far they've already corrupted themselves, a rampire is probably less of a notch in their hellish bests to corrupt than a mortal human.

It may be slipping my mind, but I have not read the bigfoot shorts, but what exactly is the Geno, is he a fae, mytical creature or what? Cause he took a coin.
Snark Knight:
I haven't either, but I don't think Harry was familiar with that particular subspecies of bigfoot until meeting the Genoskwa, but I think in general bigfoots are of this world rather than a nevernever species that visits from time to time. The comparison of bigfoots and ramps occurred to me too, but I don't know quite what to make of it. Absent any contradictory WOJ I'd tend to put the Genoskwa under the same category of "less evilly satisfying than corrupting a human" albeit compatible.
Ursiel's interest there was probably that a superior tank build was more important at the time than the satisfaction of corrupting and enslaving a mortal.

This is my point. Ursiel seems a bit more willing to work with people, or is he just in this once case. We don't really know enough about all of the Denarians to make any kid of decision.

Unconfirmed, but I'd lean towards assuming it varies somewhat based on the host's personality. If the Fallen who normally prefer domination run into a host who matches their particular flavour of cruelty pretty closely, it's not like the Fallen can really force them into doing something they're 100% down for anyway. Like that Supernatural episode with the nutjob killer who'd been exorcised of a demon but really liked being a host and wanted it back.
Ananda:
Since Deirdre isn’t using hers anymore, I’d take hers. Hair blades sound lovely. Plus, I’d be like Nic’s adopted daughter and we could have all sorts of picnics and other fun stuff like he did with Deirde.
