Ygin

Ygin
The Unknown, Madness, Fear, Night

❧ Played by Nishi
Appearance: It is impossible to get a clear picture of Ygin all at once. It has feminine hands, but a clenched, lantern jaw. You might see the line of a cloak, hunched and stooped, but you might also see flowing, black hair. It has a long, lizagon-like tail, and the presence of it is most often the only consistent sign it is openly in the area.
The voice is a low, genderless whisper, directly in the person’s right or left ear, inaudible to anyone else. You might sometimes hear feathers, or the rasp of scales, gurgles or scrapes. The smell is dry and papery, or wet and fetid.
Whenever Ygin is around, people will feel a tight feeling between their shoulder blades, as if something is watching them.
Characteristics: Childlike, insatiably curious, sadistic, inquisitive, ponderous, demanding, fickle, irrational and sometimes outright gibberingly insane.

Likes: Courage, terror, chimeras, were creatures, shape shifters who lose control by nature, self-awareness, emotional vulnerability, hallucination-prone people, scrying or dreaming powers, phobias, playing mind games

Dislikes: Bravado, rhetoric, scholarly learning, order, science, machinery, unflappable people, people without curiosity, obtuse people, bright lights, restrictions.
Shrine: The shrine presents itself as a dark opening in the wall. It’s large enough to walk into, but you cannot see, hear or sense anything inside.

Ritual: Getting its attention can be as simple as putting a hand in the opening, but walking entirely in is guaranteed to get an answer and quite a bit more favor.

[Chain--

His eyes can just make it out along with the carving, wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet tighter than he thought it was, but still able to be removed. He hadn't noticed it until then because it was too dark to see anything. With the concussion gone and the two crushed bones in his arm repaired, Leo begins sinking, and if he's allowed, he makes it to the ground of some sort.]

Tired.. [He reaches, but there's nothing really to pull himself back up, not that he has the energy after all that changing. He still has no idea what might have shifted when he wanted to see, and he'll just have to find out later. His arm falls last, with drooping eyelids.]

Ygin-

They'll worry if I'm gone a long time.
