[Afraid]Eris, Empress of Chaos and Entropy

Eris will be utilized tomorrow night in an Afraid playtest set in 1920's Chi-town

Eris, Empress of Chaos and Entropy
Eris, an avid philosopher, became fascinated with the ideology and theory surrounding entropy.

Passion and curiosity prevailed as other’s works were assimilated and concepts were codified.

In attempting to breach the veil of understanding and experience chaos on a level beyond the scope of human nature, Eris began to maim herself, inflicting increasing physical harm and duress creating fundamental biological and emotional disorder.

Engaging in pagan ceremony merged with a philosophical foundation, she ritualistically cuts out her own eyes, gaining access to nightmarish resources.

Pushing her nightmarish powers to the extreme and literally giving birth to entropy, chaos, and complete destruction, the apartment building and block where she had lived is completely absorbed in wallowing nothingness.  Innocents were swallowed in the ensuing disorder and now wander entropy as faint shadows of their former existence devoid of humanity.

If her reign is allowed to continue, she will proceed to swallow the whole of Chicago and spread terror in her wake as everything is consumed in the fiery void.

Rundown of victims:
1. Mary Gartner-Raped wife who has been cheating on her husband for a great deal of time.  Indulges in alcohol and cocaine at a local speak easy.
2. Edward Gartner-Mary's estranged husband who experienced his wife's rape (he was never told) in a horrific vision
3. Frank Wallace-Mary's lover of nearly a year, blames himself for the rape and has since mutilated himself to the point of hospitalization
4. Harry Williams-Broken down cop who shot a 10 year old kid which drew a gun on him
5. Detective Jack Leary-Officer prone to violence (due to his alcoholic father) who recently lost his daughter and has been consumed with locating her killer

Still working on an acolyte, currently have a single Slave (Bart Thomson), the barkeep of the speak easy where Mary, Frank, and Harry frequent.
