Fomori (singular Fomor) are a type of Possessed aligned with the Wyrm. Usually the work of full-body Bane possession, a fomor is corrupted in mind, body, and spirit.
Overview[]
The fomori are created when a Bane possesses a human or an animal via a spiritual "hole" left by some form of sin or spiritual corruption. The Bane will slowly gain more and more influence, until they are completely fused with the host and cannot be separated. Fomori powers vary wildly, but are usually based strongly on the type of possessing Bane and/or their method of creation. For example, a typical Bane of Lust will result in a type of fomor known as an Enticer.
Fomori may have some connection to Fomorians. However, the most common (although hardly the only) method of Bane infection is via Pentex; either through employment or usage of its omnipresent products, an unwitting individual can open themselves to possession. Their Gaian counterparts are called Kami, while the Weaver ones are called Drones and those of the Wyld are Gorgons.
Types of Fomori[]
An unusually potent fomor is referred to as a fomarch, while an unusually twisted fomor is referred to as a fomorach. There are also special breeds of fomori. Here are some examples:
- Aughisky, Bane-infected horses once used by Black Spiral Dancers
- Bloodworms, the result of a Thirster Bane infecting a vampire
- Brain Eaters, A psychic that Pentex has bound a Mind Feeder Bane to.
- Enticers, polymorphic seducers empowered by Banes of Lust
- Ferectoi, also known as Bane Children, are princes amongst the fomori.
- Freakfeet, A Fomori breed created in the late 1970s for Magadon, Incorporated
- Hollow Men, rumored to be the oldest Fomori breed.
