Venialia, The Cheshire Cat

[Tenebrae]

Venialia

Nickname: The Cheshire Cat
Motto: Such succulent sanity...
Sanity: 50
Health: 100
Hunger: 100

Perks:
- Empowered by madness...
- Drives others insane...
- Hounded by Cackle Jackals...
- Has a terrible time remaining sane...

Unlocking:

Venialia can be unlocked by stumbling across a rare entity known as Somber, a very sane cat. Venialia had possessed Somber and found himself imprisoned within the obnoxiously-sane feline, a feline too sane for him to drive towards madness! Thus, he was incapable of escaping his new-found prison and destined to listen to Somber drone on and on about sane things. If the player kills Somber, however, Venialia will be released and then playable from thus point on.

Special Power: Empowered by Madness

100% Sanity: Blink

The ability to blink allows Venialia to elude danger through the power of teleportation! Its effective range, however, temporarily decreases the more you use it...so do keep that in mind.

50% Sanity: Invisibility

Upon being reduced to 50% of his sanity, Venialia begins feeling a little bit more like himself again. He'll now have the ability to render himself invisible...and intangible for that matter!

While within this state, he can't interact with the physical world...but can perform a sneak attack for bonus damage that will, once again, render him visible and place the ability on cool-down. Combined with the blink ability, Venialia can be a trixy little assassin.

0% Sanity: Possession

Having been reduced to 0% of his sanity allows Venialia to access his final ability, possession. Humanoid entities can be possessed, doubling their damage but gradually reducing their sanity in the process.

Non-playable entities such as Pigs, Bunnyman, ect will be controlled by Venialia whereas allied players will retain control of their character and have to accept the possession. They will also have the ability to expel Venialia at any time...just in case he's freeloading.

Note: Cackle Jackals will attack possessed entities when their sanity has been reduced to a point that allows them to manifest.

Aura of insanity:

Venialia has an insanity aura that drains the sanity of those around him by 10% of his total depleted sanity. This effect will wear off if he's brought to full sanity or the inflicted players have distanced themselves enough to escape the influence.

Cackle Jackals:

Unfortunately, Venialia is hounded by another type of shadow creature called a cackle jackal. These are stronger, and faster, than other shadow creatures but behave within a similar manner...only attacking once Venialia's sanity level has been brought down far enough for them to manifest.

Until that occurs, they will stalk and cackle at him when he's insane enough for them to hear their taunts. This transpires before they actually appear...letting Venialia know that they're around.
