Mien:  The cat takes on an appearance that is, in a word, eerie.  Its slim frame takes on a lankier nature, seeming to be nothing more than skin and defining bones along the shoulders spine, and even its tail.  Its regal neck stretches and slides the same way that Speilberg's Reese's Pieces loving alien did back in the 80s.  Its eyes a sickly yellow that almosts seem jaundiced and malevolent at the same time.  In spite of all of these things, the one thing that makes it stand out is its smile.  Wider than any cat could (or able) to smile, and its rows of sharp and yellow-tinged teeth.

:''So as I sat down to my computer one day, I asked myself "Self--you say that [[Aaron Fletcher]] is a horror novelist, a teller of terrifying tales, a dean of scream--but what sort of things has he written?  What would PCs know of his work?  What might be a fans favorite story?" And I commended my inner voice with some ice-cream. Then I decided to entertain the idea, which is what you see below.  I provided a couple of titles that Aaron authored. This also comes with a small synopsis, as well as real-life references or inspirations of IC work based on RL books, novels, stories, and movies I've seen over the years (in case you weren't aware: horror is heroin for me). This list might be short or long depending what comes to mind. But I wanted to flesh out Aaron's writing portfolio more than me just saying "he's a horror writer. Boooooooo."  Enjoy!<br><p align="right">~L.Callender (player of [[Aaron Fletcher]])''</p></font>

She's asked to identify the body of her great uncle, Matthias--who she's not heard from in years.  As the only living member of the Sunderland family, she feels obliged. When she arrives, she sees that her great uncle died horribly.  Something inhuman eviscerated the man in his study at the Sunderland Estate.  While settling affairs at the family home, she comes across a journal of his.  The final pages were written in his own blood and addressed to Gabriella herself.  "You must reseal the gates."  She then learns of the shadowy history of her family line--of a descendant that wanted power, wealth, and knowledge. It cost him his sanity, but not after sealing the demon behind a series of doors within the in-between realms of the mortal realm and the Shadow.  The blood descendant was is used as a key for either opening or closing doors. Gabriella must now fight against an ominous clock that ticks down the hours until the final door opens and Egudak, the Chittering Whisperer of the Forbidden Darkness is freed...  <font style="color:#57D3EE; font-variant:small-caps;">Inspiration: ''Gamecube's Eternal Darkness'' (2002), ''Lovecraftian Mythos''</font>

“Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.” - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland


Mr. Manx, whose birth name is hard to pronounce in human tongue, was born to a little of other feline-like creatures. The litter was bred for a Cleareyes looking at creating a network of thieves to his Motley. However, the kitten that became Mr. Manx was born with a different set of bestowments altogether, and along with it partially blind in one eye (due to a scuffle with his brothers and sisters who didn't like him either; and its irremovable smile, was considered too creepy to keep. Mr. Manx was about to be turned into "leather" and "rope" by a wandering Goblin Marketeer. Fortunately, Aaron happened to be wandering the roads and heard the mewlings of the soon-dead hedge-kitten. Aaron traded the Goblin a golden fidget-spinner, feeling that he could use it to hypnotize patrons into paying heftily for his future wares, for the cat's meager life. The cat decided that it might do better with Aaron as a companion than on it's own. Besides--Aaron promised it fish, which it never had before and found it liked a lot.
