Author Note: Phantoms aren't well known, even by psions unless they have experience hunting them.
PHANTOMS | |
---|---|
Defiant Origin | |
Neuroinvaders or neuroinvader-adjacents. | |
Characteristics | |
Phantoms are typically invisible to the naked eye and require a host. They may manifest as hallucinations to their host, or may be able to exert their will using the host. In some cases, the Phantom can even take control of their host's body. Some Phantoms only inhabit one host, while some may switch hosts frequently- sometimes after killing them. | |
Precautions | |
Phantoms are often difficult to deal with because of how hard they can be to detect. Though they aren't typically dangerous to groups of people, their presence can be debilitating to their host, who may experience a wide range of negative effects resulting from the Phantom's presence, or worse. When exorcising a Phantom, it is important to ensure that there is as few people as possible nearby in case the Phantom attempts to change hosts. Exorcists should be protected by distance, insulative charms, and/or smudgestick smoke. Exorcists with neuroinvasive countermeasures should be the primary exorcist when dealing with dangerous Phantoms. Exorcists should take extreme caution when dealing with Phantoms that have an awakened individual as their host. | |
Signs | |
Phantoms can be difficult to detect. Most Phantoms can be detected using cuilsight while they are attached to a host. A Phantom's host can exhibit anomalous characteristics that can help confirm the presence of a Phantom; they might begin to act more different than usual or experience symptoms of mental illness such as depression, mania, anti-social characteristics, and schizophrenia. Be alert for reports of hallucinations in people with no prior history of schizophrenia, especially if hallucinations depict one individual or one voice. More powerful Phantoms can be easier to detect; look for strange abilities or other paranormal phenomena that occur to or around the host, or in the case of full possession, radical changes in the host's behavior. |

This section should be used to describe the behavioral characteristics of an animal. How does it behave? What are its feeding habits? How does it act around people?
