The Thirteen Lacunae

  • DraconiansGROUP2_zpsbc3kofub.png


    While they each have at least one of these, The lacunae don't really interact between one Draconian and another. (Even if a Draconian suffers from, for example, The Loneliness... causing them to be incapable of any form of love... They will still feel love towards their own kind. This is part of why they tend to stay around each other.)




    Kuyorra, The False Glory (Taglinn Tigh): A lack of regard for the right to live free from fear makes this a subtle evil. The furre takes pleasure in bullying others. They will make their lair into as frightening a place as they *can*. The furre lives in constant fear for their own existence.


    Nuava, The Unseen Hand (Tallus): The furre has an inability to understand the concept of personal possessions of others, but wants to own things. This may manifest itself as kleptomania. Stealing from individuals brings a kind of thrill that stealing from the community (for example, shoplifting or bank robbery) does not yield.


    Tauthmyarr, The Nihilism (Greydark): The furre has an irrational urge to destroy. It can be as small as throwing a plate to the ground, or they can be driven to destroy buildings, burn down forests, etc. There is nothing breakable that is unbroken, in the lair of one afflicted by Tauthmyarr's Lacuna.


    Ghislok, The Loneliness (Drossifer): The furre is incapable of normal emotional bonding with others. They are incapable of love, romantic or otherwise. They can not trust or love others. They will occasionally feel possessive of others (so long as they are useful and cooperative), but the slightest sign of independence is perceived as betrayal. Yet the furre is cursed to crave company and possibly romantic companionship.


    Svinlok, The Emptiness (Suffrith): The furre lacks the ability to derive gratification from normal sensory stimulation. Food, art, sex, and so forth, bring no pleasure. The furre can only find unusual physical stimulation pleasurable, such as beating their head against a wall, taking euphoric drugs, getting drunk, or even something bizarre like staring into a candle flame.


    Sharok, The Fury (Telcodar): This Lacuna is the furre's utter lack of self-control. They act upon impulse, attacking at the slightest provocation. All their wrath is magnified a thousand times stronger. Those with Sharok's Lacuna usually live alone.


    Kriorn, The Blindness (Peristane): Other people are seen as inferiors, to be used and enslaved, or superiors, because they can hurt and destroy the furre. This is an inability to treat others as equals. The furre is not content to limit this to opinions; they must go out and make others their thralls, or else live in torment, feeling that *they* are no better than slaves.


    Gozmeron, The Cruelty (Lokira): Very simply, the furre wants to cause others pain, physical and emotional both. The sight of another in torment brings pleasure. This is like an addiction: if the furre has not done so, they will be at a minus to all their abilities, and they will be quite irritable.


    Shatugar, The Untrust (Chatengo): The furre has no sense of obligation. Furthermore, they are compelled to break any promise they make, and openly mock any promise made unto them. Smells that are foul to normal furres actually smell *good* to those with this Lacuna, and normally delicious smells are repulsive. The furre has no honor, and enjoys breaking local taboos and generally being a deviant.


    Aburralon, The Weeping (Nareeth): The sight of others happy is painful to the furre. They can not drive the awareness that all things come to an end, from their minds. Their own happiness is shortlived, followed by an even greater backlash of depression.


    Heng, The Inimicality (Erigon): Life is intrinsically hateful. The furre enjoys the feeling of power gained from ending a life. The sight of dying brings a joy that other emotions cannot match. This furre lacks the ability to value any existence other than their own.


    Willathar, The Double Tongue (Dyarr): A compulsion to lie, and a lack of regard for accuracy or truth. Being a compulsive liar will not give one a Lacuna. In compulsive lying, the liar often doesn't remember having told the lie. With the Lacuna, the liar is very aware of the lie, and remembers it. With the Lacuna of Double Tongue, the furre feels gratification, almost like physical pleasure, when they lie.


    Tamanannu, The Flesh Hunger (Mirmoggin): This is an addiction, not merely to blood, as is standard with Vampfurres, but also to fresh furre flesh. They require a pound of flesh at least, per week.
