The Baby manipulates these scenarios subtly, spending months researching its games pieces, and then carefully laying a web of traps for them. Its favorite tools include debt, disease, and temptation. It may use characters in its dramas as bait or as force to be employed when the subject resists. The Baby is usually not obviously involved, but it can’t resist being nearby and watching. An astute observer will notice that the Baby is present when the trap is sprung and fate is delivered.

The Clear Widow Side: Caretaker Overview The Clear Widow is a mysterious, tragic figure that wraps itself in tears and aggressive self-pity. Its sorrow is both a very real, palpable thing and an affectation: a pose adapted to justify its extreme, unending need and hunger. While some Caretakers are angry, the Clear Widow’s Description A woman dressed in white—a wedding dress turned mourning shroud. Her clothes are soaked by a quiet, constant drizzle of tears that makes her smell brackish. Her flesh is transparent; vaguely visible. She has cried out all of her color and substance. She weighs as much as a feather, and drifts in the hallways of her great mausoleum like a ghost. She is very quiet. To hear her, one must lean in close and concentrate. She is wracked constantly by sobs that seem to come from deep within her body. Those who approach her feel a great sense of unease at her misery: some party of them that feels empathy longs to comfort her, but even at a distance it is clear that her misery is beyond comfort— practically infinite, and that is where the second disquiet one feels comes it: is it safe to get so close to such an open wound, a vacuum? Might one be… drawn in? The Clear Widow is, in fact, a vortex of hyperbolic, melodramatic grief.
Her existence is a litany of one unendurable loss after another. Husbands, lovers, children, friends, fortune – all have been lost to her, and each loss has left not scars (for she does not scar), but a wet laceration that goes through flesh and into her soul. Description:Balls of gnasihing teeth and bone spikes about a yard and a half across. They And yet, even after all of that, can move at 18 yards per second and attack in groups of up to 15! she does not protect herself, Tracking Sense: The Holwer’s track like bloodhounds with a 15- L3 Perception roll. but still she desperately seeks more things to lose. She inexorably draws people into her orbit, fully and perversely aware they will be taken from her. Howlers When someone in her domain runs (See Dramas), she unleashes the Howlers. They are great balls of gnashing teeth and bone spikes that cry like wolves and move with terrible, flickering speed. They swarm out of great pits and track unerringly. They first bite to cripple and then consume the subject alive, leaving nothing but blood-soaked earth in their wake. Waifs Waifs are very sad, very pretty girls that project a kind of aching emotional (and physical) vulnerability. They look as though they might be drawn away by a strong wind. As though the world weighs heavily upon them, and as though they might shatter into moaning tears at any moment. Careful examination reveals signs of self-mutilation —cutting of the delicate flesh —and a waif almost always has a journal nearby filled with heart-rending poetry that bares her most private soul. Waifs are spawned when the Clear Widow’s tears fall on grass; the grass grows tall and flutters and becomes a waif— you can still see their origins in their emerald-green feline eyes. Waifs need to be protected, saved, cherished, nurtured. They are far too delicate for this world, and anyone who meets one senses first, that they are too fragile and second Name: Howlers Minion PHY 12 STR 15 BLD 12 STA 15- REF 12 COR 12 REA 14 AGI 12 INT 08 RES 08 MEM 12 WIL -- DP 60 Minor Major Critical Wounds -1:4pts To Hit 13- Name: Waifs Minion PHY 08 STR 08 BLD 06 CON 09 REF 11 COR 13 REA 11 AGI 11 INT 10 RES 10 MEM 10 WIL 10 DP 8 Minor Major Critical Wounds 3 8 16 To Be Hit -2 Armor 3/8 Damage 12 PEN To Hit 13- To Be Hit -1 Armor None Damage none Description: Waifs are young, pretty (Attractive Level 2) girls of indeterminate age who exude a sense of vulnerability and helplessness.
