The Fears Part 2

Wanna know how I spent Halloween? Wish I could say I spent it trick or treating, or partying, or even fighting crime. But know, I spent it watching horror movies with Crow and eating ice cream. Anyway, here's the rest of the Fears.

The Smiling Man

This guy is completely psychotic. He is the Fear of stalkers, who leaves his victims flowers before eventually killing them. These follows are using coded in the language of flowers, each flower meaning something different.

He is a killer, with no clear cause. He has his own proxies, which he sometimes forces to kill each other. He is able to summon razor sharp flower petals at will, which serve as incredibly deadly weapons.

He is most often seen wearing a torn straight jacket. He has scraggly red hair, a smile larger than his face, and eyes that are indescribably wrong. Artwork of him usually have his eyes blacked out, since it's so had to draw something like that. The only people who know what his eyes look like are those who have seen them up close, and they usually don't wanna talk about it.

His domain is the Flower fields, which may seem like a beautiful field of every flower imaginable, but beneath it all is the disgusting scent of rotting flesh.

The Burning Bride

I met her when I was young. I described the experience before. She is the Fear of fire, both the physical fire in the world, and the metaphorical fire within peoples hearts and minds.

Her appearance can vary, but she usually takes the form of a crimson woman in red bridal clothing. She can also disperse into a swarm of fireflies.

She not only has control over fire, but she can fill people with so much knowledge or emotions that their hearts and minds will metaphorically burn. I've had the experience, and I almost died.

Whose bride is she? That would be the Brute. I'll get to him later. She constantly seeks him out, trying to free him and rejoin his pieces.

The Red Cap

Oh boy, this one. By the way, I'm just doing these in a random order. Anyway, the Red Cap is the fear of everything sexual. Rape, masochism, blah blah blah I'm a virgin and I'm not comfortable talking about this.

She is basically a red goop, which can enter people's bodies and replace their blood. These people are called Blood Vessels. She can possess them at any time she wants, similar to the Dying Man, earning her the nickname of the Dying Man's Mother. She's not literally the Dying Man's mother, but whatever. While in a persons blood stream, she can stop blades and stuff like that from penetrating her, and she can heal most wounds on her host.

Blood Vessels can put a mark on people, turning them into Scarlet Marked. Scarlet Marked commonly experience nose bleeds and become really horny when they're near a Blood Vessel. They sometimes engage in giant blood orgies and- Oh god, I'm really not the guy for this. Screw it, I'm moving on to the next Fear.

The Mother Of snakes

This is another of my least favorite Fears. She lives behind mirrors and other reflective surfaces. She is the Fear of who we are, who we were, and who we are becoming. She tempts people to become darker versions of themselves.

Those who give into the darkness and join her become Lilim. Lilim are most often female, but there have been males. Lilim have snake-like features, such as poisoned fangs, scales, and sometimes tales. Some Lilim can pass as human, and some can willingly switch between having legs and tails.

Her domain is the Garden Of Desolation. It's a vast desert, which exists behind the mirrors. Lilim can enter and exit this world through mirrors.

Anyway, I hate this bitch. She has tried turning me to the dark side numerous times.

EAT

EAT is an aquatic being.  It's unclear what the initials stand for. Some say it's Epping AquaTarkus, Some say it's Evolutionary Adverse Trigger, I honestly don't know. It is the Fear of drowning. Either literally, like drowning in water, or drowning in your own obsessions.

EAT's true form is unknown, but is is said to have thin white tentacles. It lives in the water, and replaces water with it's ink, which is completely identical. Drinking it causes people's obsessions to increase. They also become addicted to the ink, drinking more and more of it, until, like the Rad Cap, it replaces their blood.

When it replaces their blood, they become part of the hivemind called the Camper. Their are ten stages of being a camping. I don't remember how they go exactly, but early stage Campers are almost brain dead and copy whatever other people do. Late stage Campers are under the full control of EAT. Some are even able to manipulate water and ink for use as weapons.

The Quiet

The Quiet is the Fear of Nothingness. It is a being which replaces existence with nothingness, unmaking things. It will eventually unmake the entire universe, or so they say. I hope not. That would suck.

The Quiet has followers called hushed monks, but I know almost nothing about them because I don't really care.

The Manufactured Newborn

The Fear of the future and technology, this Fear is rarely seen in person. It's true form lives in its domain, the Towering Realm. It drops pieces of itself in the human world, usually disguised as trinkets, which absorb metal object to grow larger. These trinkets will embed themselves into human once they grow large enough. The Newborn gains control of these people, turning them into Towerborn. They will continue to absorb metal and flesh, becoming larger and more deforrmed. Once they are large enough, they are pulled into the Towering Realm, where they become part of the tower of flesh and steel which is supposedly the Newborn's body.

Sometimes, the Newborn will transform a person's mind into data and transfer them to the internet. These are Thought born. Most of them serve the Newborn, but some do their own thing.

The Brute

The Brute is the Fear of fire and war. Yes, there's two Fears of fire. the difference is that the Brute represents war while the Burning Bride represents knowledge. Kind of like Ares and that one goddess who was married to Ares.

The Brute was divided into pieces long ago, and sealed away. If the pieces are put back together, the Brute will return. There's a lot of pieces that have already been uncovered *coughcoughKallawaycoughcough* and there's probably more hidden out their.

The Brute is often accompanied by smoke, and it has the power to induce anger in others. It's domain is the Grove of Fetters, which I haven't been to, but I hear there's lots of chains.

It has servants called Crimson Knights, who wear armor and possess some of the Brutes powers, such as enhanced strength and rage inducement.

The Grotesque

The Grotesque is sort of like Freddy Krueger. It's the Fear of nightmares, and exists within peoples dreams. It can invoke nightmares in anyone it infects, and can take multiple forms, usually that of a circus. The main piece of the Grotesque is the Reverie, who usually takes the shape of a ringleader, and can summon demons.

The Grotesque can force people to go to sleep, and can even force people into a never ending coma. It can also take control of peoples bodies while they're asleep.

The Dying Man

The Dying Man was once a single being, which was somehow split into multiple pieces an unspecified amount of time ago. It is the Fear of Death, and is a powerful possessor. Each piece can gain control of a persons body. The body usually decays after a while, forcing the Dying Man to find a new one. The Dying Man is able to increase the physical abilities of its host, making it really dangerous. It is unknown how many pieces there are, but they each have their own personalities, and tactics. Some tries to absorb other pieces to become whole again, some don't, and some just like to fuck with people.





Anyway, that's all the Fears. I suppose I could discuss my granny, but I don't feel like it.
