Name:
The Engineer
Story: The Engineer
was created by the oldest of the Scurbian gods
to design and build the universe in the way that they saw fit. After
years of doing their bidding, the Engineer grew tired of the their
philosophies and constant compassion toward humanity. He felt humans
did not deserve that type of grace! Around this time, the Grey Man approached The Engineer with plans he had for a
new universe and a new reality. The Grey Man convinced The Engineer
to join his ranks, and tasked him with the creation of the Old Ones.
His job also included hiding them in the very depths of the universe until
such time that they will need to be called upon to destroy this
universe in favor of a new one.

Name:
Samhain
Story:
And so it is, we gather again,
The feast of our dead to begin.
Our Ancients, our Ancestors we invite, Come!
And follow the setting of the sun.
Whom do we call? We call them by name...
The Ancients have come! Here with us stand
Where ever the country, where ever the land
They leave us not, to travel alone;
Flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone!
Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Great be their Power!
Past ones and present-at this very hour!
Welcome within are the dead who are kin,
Feast here with us and rest here within
Our hearth is your hearth and welcome to thee;
Old tales to tell and new visions to see!
The Spirit of Halloween!

Name:
Lamia
Story: At a time when Zeus and Hera ruled over this
Earth, lived Lamia, a beautiful Libyan queen and daughter of Hecate,
the Goddess of fire, the Moon, witchcraft, necromancy and poisonous
plants. She ruled over Libya for some time with her two young sons and
her king by her side. Unfortunately, Hera saw fit to exact her wrath on
Lamia and forced her to eat her sons alive. Naturally upon finding this
out, her husband shunned her, disgusted by her hideous deed. Driven mad
by the sound of her sons screams, the taste of her flesh, and her
recent abandonment, Lamia gathered up the bones of her children and was
transformed into a daemon who's body was now less human than it was
snake.
With her new form reflecting the monster she had become, she scoured
Europe in search of lost children. Lamia devoured many, but the taste
of them alone didn't satisfy her hunger for long. She turned her gaze
to young men as well, seducing them only to feed on their blood then
leave them behind to die.
Mothers all across Europe used the tale of Lamia as a sort of
"Boogeyman" to keep misbehaving children in line. Little did they know
Lamia actually existed and was envious of mothers and their children, a
bond she would never feel again.
Zeus saw fit to attempt to sooth the beasts pain by granting her the
gift of prophecy. Lamia only used this in combination with her natural
abilities as Hecate's daughter to assure mothers that their children
would only bring them misfortune and strife, so that she could devour
the wayward children.
The Grey Man has brought Lamia to Virginia to assist him and the rest of the Old Ones in
bringing about the End Times. Lamia's plan is to lead all husbands
astray, savoring the taste of the flesh of their children, and leaving
the mothers behind so that they may feel the pain she has felt for
thousands of years.

Name:
Cizin
Story: Long ago in the days of Ancient Mayan
civilization, Cizin ‘the stinking one’ known to the Mayans for the
earthquakes and death he brought, was labeled the Mayan earthquake god
and god of death. He ruled the subterranean land of the dead with an
iron fist in a purgatory where all souls except those of soldiers
killed in battle and women who died in childbirth spent some time.
Those who committed suicide were doomed to his realm for eternity.
Cizin may have possibly been one aspect of a malevolent underworld
deity who manifested himself under several names, each one deceitful
and used to lead humans into the Land of the Dead.
Ixtab, another ancient Mayan
god, was
believed to lead the Mayans directly to the World Tree, or a paradise
after death. Her eyes were closed in death and on one of her
cheeks bared a black circle, representing the putrid discoloration of
flesh due to decomposition. In Ancient Mayan Society, suicide by
hanging was an acceptable way for one to die. Cizin used ‘Ixtab’ to
glorify the idea of this to easily gather more souls into purgatory.
Ixtab also appeared at night in the form of a beautiful long-haired
woman who lured them deep into a nearby forest, offering pleasure to
young men, and then losing them in the woods. Those who returned went
mad with desire pining for her love, and those who did not were lost
forever in the forest. Regardless of whether or not those men
retuned to their homes or remained lost in the woods, they all either
went mad or grew so distraught that they eventually took their own
lives.
Known as the god of the
underworld,
Yum Cimil ruled his domain known to the Mayans as Xibalba. This Mayan
god of the dead specifically ruled over Mitnal, the lowest and most
horrible of the nine hells. His bathed himself in human misery and
basked in their misery. Yum Cimil was quite fond of his adornments, all
intricately made of puny human bone, as well as a collar he fancied,
made of severed human eyeballs.
When the Mayans died out, so
did much
of their beliefs in their old gods. Humans have forgotten what it is
like to praise the old gods, and have lost faith. Their lost faith will
cost them dearly, as The Scream Freak has been working diligently throughout the past
millennia. The Scream Freak had The Engineer raise Cizin, but in a way that
this world has never seen her before. The blood spell she was under
caused her form to reincarnate itself in a coalescence of several of
the Mayan gods of old – including Yum Cimil and Ixtab. This goddess' sole
purpose is to crave human blood and flesh in a way that will only
result in bringing torture to those she encounters. Watch as she draws
all the blood from their bodies, making eternal damnation in the
darkest pits of Mitnal their only salvation.

Name:
Trofast of Loke (Faithful of Loki)
Story: The Viking gods grew weary of the seeds of
discord the god Loki was sowing amongst them. Loki told secrets of the
evils Odin had done to man in the past and bed which he had shared with
Thor’s wife. To silence Loki, Thor snuck up on Loki and landed a mighty
blow to the back of his head with his wicked hammer. Loki was cast down
to hell and bound to a rock there with the entrails of one of his
beloved sons and a serpent dripped venom down upon his head to further
immobilize him. Loki’s writhes of agony still shake the earth today as
mighty earthquakes. The Vikings told this tale as though Loki were a
liar and a trickster and that he got what he deserved. But there were
those who knew the truth and vowed to release Loki and help him enact
his vengeance upon man and god
alike.
Trofast is Loki’s greatest
priest and
so shared his master’s fate… Loki’s other son the great wolf Narfi,
whom The Scream Freak had come to know as Croatoan, was sent to hell
and to chew through the bounds of his father and great priest and in
doing so help to bring Ragnorock (the great destruction) to earth. Alas
the serpent bit Croatoan before he could free the god but not before
Trofast was freed. Trofast fled knowing the wrath of gods was upon him.
He has joined with The Scream Freak and other godlings to bring a rain of blood and
death to the earth. Trofast collects the intestines of his victims to
one day return justice to the one eyed bastard Odin and his haughty son
Thor.

Name:
Frost
Story: Unlike the gremlins
in the marshes of Grumlapart or the
trolls in the Forest Tora, the goblin
Frost was created before The Human Experiment of Dimension III. Raised
in the harsh elements that contributed to the formation of Earth, Frost
and his Army survived in the Ice Realms parallel to the Land of the
Dead. When the Grey Man traveled
through the swirling light, he
offered Frost a life of peace if the creature would share his secret to
seeing inside a soul. Frost was close to gaining The Great Awareness through the growth
of his Third Eye. The Grey Man tempted Frost with the idea of testing his powers on a new species called humans.
After joining the Grey Man 's group, Frost gained
a taste for blood during his long meditation
states under the Earth's crust. Once released from The Lair by The Engineer, Frost learned to love manipulating human emotions by looking into their souls and at their fears. Frost is
known to keep trophies from his favorite victims and adorn his robe
with them. |
