fluctuate during gameplay.
Essence: Essence is the preferred energy/resource that Fear-Eaters drain and feed
upon from their Prey. They gain access to this Essence through the manipulation These initial values are as follows –
of their Prey’s fears. Sometimes, a Fear-Eater will take their Prey into their Lair to • Mind vs. Matter (MvM) Attribute of zero.

End Goal: Each Fear-Eater has a motive, and that motive is to attain their End These values are sometimes abbreviated as a stat-line similar to this:

Eater exists and the reason it drains Essence from its Prey. Once the Fear-Eater MvM: 0 PvE: 0 DC: 0 Essence: 15

Fill these values in the appropriate areas of your Fear-Eater’s character sheet.
Physical Appearance: Although Fear-Eaters can shapeshift their form at a whim,
they often adopt and take on a preferred, unique appearance to terrorize their
human Prey. Much like a Fear-Eater's name, their preferred appearance should
insight fear and reflect their vile nature. This preferred appearance is not the Fear-
Eater's true form, the one they take on in their dimension; the human mind
cannot fathom or comprehend that form, let alone perceive it.

Portrait: Each player is encouraged to provide a portrait for their Fear-eater. This
is a visual representation of their Fear-eater, either displaying their Physical
Appearance, their preferred Essence, or their type. The portrait can be an actual
image of any of these things or can be a symbol representing them.

Object of Power: Each Fear-Eater possesses and is attached to an Object of Power

or Cursed Object. An Object of Power is an item that connects the Fear-Eater's
dimension with this reality. This item sprouts and spreads its roots into what
eventually becomes the Fear-Eater's Lair. It is where the Fear-Eater's power
resides and if it is destroyed, so is the Fear-Eater. The only way to destroy an
Object of Power is to drain the power out of it. This power is essentially the Fear-
Eater's total Essence in their Essence Pool.
