Skills


Expert manipulator, liar, and con artist. Even without his Synchrohost power, Famine is skilled in using his charisma and slick words to bend others to his wiles. He lies as smoothly as he tells the truth, because he doesn't care if he gets caught in the lie; this makes non-magical and non-Atertech polygraph tests unable to register any change in his vitals when he lies. Famine is very good at acting, and more than once has led someone into a trap or ambush from whatever allies he has at the moment. This skill is professional-level.

Equipment


Power Description


Famine is able to passively sense the desires of those around him in a vague and nonspecific manner, but must focus on a specific individual to gather more detail. He can "scrape" the target's mind for their identity-defining goals and desires, such as those for revenge, safety, or wealth. Once he narrows down the primary desire, he can sharpen the target's focus on it; this amplifies the desire itself so that everything else seems less important and the target becomes fixated on that one goal. Through use of his powers and his skills in actual manipulation, Famine can convince nearly any target to agree to whatever he wants if it gives them a chance at their desire. The process of gathering the information is subversive and disruptive enough to be permanently damaging to the psyche; the target's perception of reality is altered or confused in a gradual enough progression that the target doesn't realize what's happening. If Famine doesn't control the degree to which he uses his powers, he can narrow the target's focus so acutely on the goal or desire that they enter a mental feedback loop and are unable to think of anything else.

Psychological Profile


Famine can be adequately described by the word "sociopathic". Though outwardly charismatic, friendly even, and possessing a certain amount of charm, the reality is that he is simply an expert manipulator. Though a good actor and able to outwardly appear "normal", there's a particular feel to him, as if something is missing or wrong. Despite this, even without his Synchrohost abilities he is keenly aware of how other people think and operate, and knows how to use predictable reactions to his advantage. Famine holds little loyalty to the Vaults or humans in general; any he shows is either a front, learned as he grew to adulthood to keep people from asking too many questions, or an unconventional loyalty to the system itself, which places him in a relatively secure position in Ciel's power imbalance. Having learned from a young age how to fake every interpersonal skill most people employ, he was able to fake his own indoctrination (at least in part) by toeing the line and not questioning his teachings past the age where most Demihuman children would.

Outside of his coldly calculating tendency to manipulate those around him, Famine has an impulsive streak and is easily bored. He's known to wander off on his own when given any downtime, and can usually be found conning some poor soul out of, at best, their money. Though this has proven useful for gathering information, it can quickly escalate into more than just loss of funds for the recipient of his attention-- he almost seems to enjoy stripping his target of their agency and free will, and has no qualms discarding them when they cease being entertaining or useful.

Due to the visual similarities between the Lupus and Lycaon phenotypes (and the general rarity of the latter), to the untrained eye Famine is often mistaken for a Lupus and incorrectly called as such. This appears to moderately annoy him, and he will usually correct the terminology, even when it breaks conversation flow.

History


Famine was born, as Faolán Dúil, in a vault's Demihuman district, where he learned from a very young age how he was supposed to act and how to fake the same emotional responses as his peers. Though there were some concerns when he was a young child, by the age of nine-- at which point Shion Hayato came to the district looking for potential cadre trainees-- he had no difficulty acting "normal".

- instantly charmed by sociopath boi
- takes him
- as famine grows older, Human Dude trains him in basic cadre stuff
- shion eventually realizes famine's insane skills as a con artist and manipulator
- two enter a weird chicken/egg feedback loop of corrupting each other and training in less legal activities
- famine becomes a synchrohost, becomes cadre member for real
- shion uses famine to navigate vault politics and economy while famine uses the experience to sharpen his skills
- famine uses sable as a chewtoy
- oracle doesn't like this
- asks shion to get rid of him
- accidentally convinces shion to back him as a candidate for horsemen
