Gave him some items. Not much but he's minimalist.

It took me a while to think of someone but I think Martin Freeman fits well. Mostly unfazed by scary things but still jumpy and cowardly. In those moments he uses intimidation though, the enemy sees something very different, almost demonic. When the phantom resides in my characters consciousness, it provides Skill Focus Intimidate. As fluff that is going to appear as a psychic projection to make him seem more terrifying. He uses his powers to make them see, like, burning eyes, no eyes, horns, fangs, whatever the opponent finds frightful or unnerving. Also, manifestation will be to new to him. Whatever happens to their minds lowers his control and the nightmares gain some new powers. So each time it manifests, the phantom will look different based on what he feared as a child or the new horrors presented in the module.
Here is Zayne's submission so far. Description: To most, Horace looks like a rather weak person. He is scrawny, twitchy, and nervous-looking almost constantly. He rarely meets people's eyes and speaks softly, without much confidence. But their are moments. Moments when he focuses his will to show a whole new side that is either fantastically confident or just plain frightening. A side that has been with him since birth and plagues him to this day. A side that is not his own. A side that he has recently forgotten about since finding himself in a cell in a strange place with no recollection of how he got there. It is exceedingly happy about this. Oh the fun it will have.
At one point in his life, this other side slowly drove away all close to him. They'd catch a predatory look are a creepy smile from him and he'd have no clue it happened. They'd question him only to get a confused look in return. Once he realized what was happening, he managed to gain some control. He could use it to his advantage to gain people's trust or drive them away in fear. They had an odd symbiotic relationship. But the scales of power have shifted with the lapse in memory. New abilities have been unlocked. Someone wants out. |
