[Sosiqui]

Fear Addition Request
Character Name: L.C. Malodore
Character Race: Undead
Character Subspecies: Plague Doctor
Character's Current Natural Ability/Abilities:
- Immunity: Malodore is immune to the effects of any germ, pathogen, or illness, whether spawned from the Human World or from Halloween Town itself.
- Minor Empathy: Malodore can sense un-shielded emotion within a one-foot radius of its body. If someone is within that radius and neither that person nor Malodore itself are shielding against the empathic ability, Malodore will be able to tell what that person is feeling. Malodore might sense, for example, that someone is feeling sad, even if they're disguising the physical 'tells' of the emotion. However, it wouldn't know why the person was sad, just that the emotion was there.

What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y2

Fear Ability Request:
Miasma (Y2/original FEAR): A fine mist rises around the target and 'infects' them temporarily with the symptoms of disease. Miasma does damage over time as the target gets 'sicker'.

Scalpel Rain (Y1): Malodore focuses its FEAR through its wings, causing a few of its feathers to sharpen and lengthen. It may then pluck the scalpel-like feathers and fling them at a target in a single rapid-fire attack.

Proposed School Category the Fear is: Miasma is Tainted Fang; Scalpel Rain is Swift Strike.

[Naked Satan]

Fear Addition Request
Character Name: Raziel
Character Race: Monster
Character Subspecie: Unlisted (recently in an RP, he found he was K'swarok, which is a species that I created, it doesn't affect anything other than giving him a history/background)
Character's Current Natural Ability/Abilities: None that are usable, He has a natural form, but their species is unable to control it at a young age (would begin to control it during Y2). The natural form looks something like this and the wispy "mane" is ethereal like his FEAR and cannot be controlled, it mostly contorts to defend the softer body of his natural form when it can. Once they have mastered their natural forms, if they don't keep up with using them occasionally, they will go back to being unable to control it and only go into that form during extreme stress.
What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y1
Fear Ability Request: An arm manifests itself out of some point on his body, the arm itself is ethereal and ghostlike, not being solid to the touch, but when it tries to punch you it feels solid.
Proposed School Category the Fear is: Battle Cry

They crows are simple illusions that cannot actually attack the opponent, but are slightly terrifying either way. Using his fear gives Nyyrikki and bad feeling in his stomach, like he's just literally vomited, and can make him feel a little over-exerted.

[Sexy Cocaine]

Fear Addition Request
Character Name: Riyo
Character Race: Demon
Character Subspecie: Bakeneko
Character's Current Natural Ability/Abilities: Minor Magic: capable of minor hex magics.
What Year Is Your Character Now?: Y1
Fear Ability Request: Catastrophe - Riyo's ability consists of literally 'letting her emotions out'. All the disdain she feels takes shape into ugly little cat-like monstrosities (cat-like is used in the lightest terms, considering they have no legs and slide along the ground, leaving puddles of drool and black ooze in their wake). Her problem is that she can't control them for very long, and sometimes they'll turn back and attack their creator. She can only summon one at this time.
