Name: The Wandering Dualis
Physical description:
The Wandering Dualis is a creature that constantly changes its appearance depending on its environment, moving between two main forms. In the continent of sinners, he takes a gaunt and tortured form, marked by scars, broken chains, and eyes burning with anger. Its limbs are distorted, and its body is covered in dark runes, pulsing with malevolent energy. He has a humanoid-like figure, but his features are exaggerated and grotesque, a fusion of horror and despair.
As he crosses the border into the Continent of Saints, his form becomes more ethereal, almost luminous, but still eerie. Its eyes shine with a soft light, and its body seems to be made of a translucent material, similar to a mixture of mist and divine energy, but tormented by shards of darkness. Its silhouette is more elegant, but its appearance remains menacing, like a creature escaped from a dark dream.
Behavior :
The Wanderer Dualis is a monster of duality, an entity that exists between redemption and damnation. It represents the inner conflicts and struggles between sins and virtues, between temptation and sacrifice. He is attracted by strong human emotions and feeds on pain, remorse, anger, broken hope, but also faith, unrequited love and the quest for redemption.
In the continent of sinners, he is seen as a relentless predator, feeding on the suffering of corrupt individuals. It feeds on the negative energies that emanate from sinners, becoming more powerful when it witnesses acts of violence, betrayal, or deception. He has the ability to manipulate desires and fears, plunging his victims into a whirlwind of anguish, pushing them to commit even more sins, trapping them in a vicious circle.
In the continent of saints, the Wanderer Dualis takes on a more ambivalent role. Although it is seen as a threat, it is also seen as a spiritual test or challenge. The Saints believe that the creature exists to confront individuals with their inner weaknesses, forcing them to confront their own temptations and past faults. Some believe that if they can defeat the Wandering Dualis, they will be able to purify their souls and achieve redemption. The creature has the ability to project illusions or visions of the past and future, testing the inner strength and purity of those who cross its path.
Powers:
Manipulation of emotions: The Wanderer Dualis can influence human emotions, exacerbating guilt, shame, but also creating illusions of purity and goodness. Depending on where it is found, it can either destroy the mind by reinforcing bad feelings or cause an overwhelming sense of faith and hope in the saints, testing their devotion.
Regeneration through sin or virtue: The creature can feed on the sins of individuals in the continent of sinners, or on virtuous acts in the continent of saints. It becomes stronger depending on the intensity of the emotion or act with which it comes into contact.
Metamorphosis: The Wanderer Dualis can change shape depending on the soul it encounters, transforming itself to represent the fears or desires of those around it. He can also blend into the environment to hide and observe, increasing his power based on what he learns from individuals.
Temporal Illusions: The Wanderer Dualis can create illusions that manipulate the perception of time. He can make it seem like centuries have passed in seconds or freeze moments to offer his victims a second chance, forcing them to relive a key event in their lives where they must choose between temptation and redemption.
Symbolism:
The Wandering Dualis is a reflection of the precarious balance between good and evil, an embodiment of humanity's moral and spiritual struggles. In the continent of sinners, it represents the burden of corruption and damnation, while in the continent of saints, it represents temptation and divine trial, a means for individuals to prove their purity and faith.
1. The Echoes
Appearance: They are small, translucent, floating shadow-like creatures that resemble fragments of tormented spirits. Their shape is vague, sometimes evoking distorted human silhouettes, with faces frozen in an expression of terror or suffering.
Behavior: Echoes are creatures that feed on thoughts and memories. They travel in groups and are constantly on the lookout for people who are emotionally disturbed or experiencing regret. They seek to devour the darkest memories or repressed desires.
In the continent of sinners, they hunt down people guilty of sins, feeding on remorse and negative emotions. They cling to fragile individuals, isolating them even more in their guilt.
In the continent of the saints, the Echoes act differently: they seek to infiltrate the thoughts of the saints, causing them to doubt their faith and their purity. Their presence causes hallucinations and visions of the past or future, sowing confusion and uncertainty.
Powers: Echoes can alter the perception of time and space around them, creating mental distortions that disorient their victim. They can also absorb specific memories, making people unable to remember key events in their lives.
2. Tears of Blood
Appearance: They are small creatures made of solidified blood and crystal, often the size of a human hand. They have a larva or slug shape, with eyes that glow with a reddish light, and shiny skin that seems to pierce the light.
Behavior: Tears of Blood feed on physical and emotional suffering. They attach themselves to their prey by squeezing into cracks and crannies, often hiding in the darkest places in ruins or forests.
In the continent of sinners, they feed on physical wounds inflicted by violence or internal wounds, symbolizing the suffering of body and soul. They can attach themselves to individuals to slowly feed on their suffering.
In the continent of saints, these creatures feed on sacrifices and moral pain. They react to guilt, the pain of sacrifice or self-punishment. In this world, they appear after spiritual trials or moments of defeat, when the saints feel betrayed or powerless.
Powers: Tears of Blood can cause sharp pain in their victims' bodies or inflict mental burns, creating hallucinations of physical and emotional suffering. The more tormented a person is, the more quickly they multiply around them.
3. The Ice Serpents
Appearance: Small, serpentine, almost translucent creatures made of ice and snow. Their skin shimmers eerily under the light, and they have icy blue eyes, staring unblinking at their prey. They look like snakes, but with scales that break into sharp crystals.
Behavior: Ice Snakes are creatures of shivers and coldness. They like to slip under doors, squeeze into tight spaces, and hide in places where the air is icy or frozen.
In the continent of sinners, they seek to weaken those who are cold at heart, often attracted to individuals who feel empty or who have difficulty feeling positive emotions. They devour the heat of their environment, plunging their victim into paralyzing cold.
In the continent of saints, they act as a test. They appear in places where saints are having difficulty maintaining their faith or hope, bringing an intense cold that drowns out the warmth of their conviction. These snakes represent the icy doubts that can consume even the most fervent believers.
Powers: They have the ability to absorb body heat, slowly freezing their victim in place and slowing their movements. They can also generate local snowstorms, limiting visibility and creating an atmosphere of solitude.
4. The Shadow Reapers
Appearance: Small creatures with a humanoid shape, but dark and blurry. Their bodies seem to be made of moving shadows, as if their silhouettes are constantly disturbed by a black mist. They do not have distinct faces, but a black mist covering their heads.
Behavior: Shadow Reapers are stealthy creatures, often invisible until they are upon their prey. They feed on the vital energy of living beings, particularly when they are in states of anxiety or fear.
In the continent of sinners, they hunt down those consumed by their vices or depravity. These creatures sneak around in the shadows, waiting for the moment when their victims are alone and vulnerable.
In the continent of saints, they represent times of spiritual weakness or doubt, appearing when a saint begins to stray from their faith or path. They nourish their existence from the loss of inner light.
Powers: Shadow Reapers can drain the life energy of those they touch, inflicting physical or emotional weakness. They can also manipulate the shadows to create invisible traps or terrifying illusions.
