NPCs & Creatures。

THE FOG / THE DARKNESS。 The Fog and the Darkness are sentient and one entity together. It is not yet revealed, but it is this entity which brings people in and also which spits them back out if it feels they are no longer desirable. As you would assume, the Darkness represents everything that is 'evil' or 'wrong' in the traditional sense: the seven sins and all that fun stuff. It feasts on sin, darkness, horror, desire, and so forth and gains power from them therefore often rousing them from the City's inhabitants in order to feast, commonly at midnight. It is not a presence that can be communicated with until it has complete ownership over your spirit but it will communicate with you.

PADRE NOCTEM。 padrenoctem played by Meek. Wearing black vestments that mock the Roman Catholic Church, he holds a gem encrusted metal scepter that has alchemist symbols etched into it and a four inch blade at the top. Padre is an enigmatic figure that - as far as anyone can tell - is fairly benevolent however skewed his philosophies might be now be. Unbeknownst to anyone, he commands the shadows in which work as his eyes and ears. He is the creator of this city, the mansion, and an obedient servant to the Darkness. He has a talent with ritualized magic that comes through chant, blood spilling, and so forth. He is a spirit and can physically make contact with people and objects but they cannot make physical contact with him unless they are a part of the Darkness.

WRAITHS / THE CLERGY。 The Wraiths are less common than the Shadow People who move about the city and mansion freely. The Wraiths act as Padre's Clergy and follow him devoutly but have complete control over their own selves. It is not yet known but each Wraith acts as a specific element which is often needed to perform these rituals. Unlike Padre, they will not stop for a chat but they will not actively seek to harm. They are not often seen without Padre Noctem. CURRENT WRAITHS: FIRE, AIR, WATER, EARTH, AETHER, SILVER, SULFUR, MERCURY

SHADOW PEOPLE。 The shadow people are one of the most common creatures you will see in the city and can be the most dangerous. Unknown to anyone as of yet, Shadow people are those souls who Padre did not manage to 'save' with the Darkness. They lost themselves to the havoc of the Darkness and became a shadow of their former selves with no control over their emotions and impulses. Due to their lack of willpower, Padre can control them and does so to use them as his ears, eyes, and every now and then to protect the inhabitants of the City when the Darkness is feasting. They move along the walls and grounds and can come out in the image of a person to suffocate you if left to their own devices.

SWAMP PEOPLE。 Equally as dangerous as the Shadow People, the Swamp People only come up out of the swamp at night during the witching hour. These creatures are slow moving patched together bodies that are actually the left over bodies of the Shadow People. They have impeccable hearing and will paralyze your feet in place if you make eye contact with them. Given that you cannot defend yourself once you have been put in their web, they will eat you alive. ** image is reference, borrowed from SH4.
