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.

Ehehehe. Sorry. Like I said, sometimes you get used to that being the obvious choice.

No one is killing anyone else. We can stop each other. Like I stopped you.

Hai hai. So we just have to go talk to them, right? When do you want to do it? It should probably just bet the two of us. If a whole pack of people who turn into monsters show up it's going to look bad.

[HELLO, SHOWED UP WHEN YGIN WAS SPILLING YGINNESS EVERYWHERE. The weres that met him before (besides Aerta, she already knows) will notice that he pings as familiar now, rather than the strange foreign draw on darkness he had before he was changed.

Speaking up from where he was hanging back...]

Um... I don't know about the lady with the daggers who tried to stab Breeze-san, but Jane-san, the red-headed lady, was definitely just worried about Leo-san and Elliot-san and handled it the way she was familiar with... I think she's probably not too happy with herself right now... I'm sure if Leo-san and someone who knows the situation now explained it to her it won't be a problem again with her.
