#Mark of prey idv

[vlynisnothere]

A sketch of Evelyn's "Mark of Prey" skin, inspired by aesopdolly's post! It was really fun to do, especially the coloring! 😺

The Identity V design of the day is:

"Faro Lady": Mark of Prey (Limited) (S-Tier)!

"For dreamers, an emerald green dress is enough to offset the crimson on the chopping board."

[some random af Magnus Archives x IDV crossover ideas for the hunters]

[I will give a quick explanation of the basic concept of TMA. Thus this post will include spoilers from The Magnus Archives (world building) and the backstories of the Hunters of IDV as I have understood them]

[Also this is a Horror Game meeting a Horror Podcast. Even though I will not go into detail, please consider yourself warned.]

[In the world of TMA fears exist as a type of supernatural being/concept. They are not really intelligent; they just want to feed on people's fear from where ever they are outside this reality. They can mark people and those people either become victims (who are very likely to die) or start living with and nurturing the fear, thus becoming an avatar with an unique set of skills that fit the fear they are serving. While there is usually one "main" patron/fear, one can be marked by multiple fears and many statements/episodes mix fears.]

[I will not be going on about what fear does what (that'll take forever and you can read it up on the wiki) but I'll explain my choice]

~~

Hell Ember

The Desolation

The Desolation is primarily associated with fire, loss and destruction

Technically, Freddy would be the avatar and Hell Ember a victim but for the sake of this, we will ignore that fact

~

The Ripper

The Flesh, the Slaughter or The Hunt

Jack the Ripper murdered and mutilated people and if that doesn't scream The Flesh, then idk what does

Jacks "other personality" might just be The Slaughter hopping into his mind

Hunting, tracking prey is very Hunt-like

~

Smiley Face

The Desolation, (The Flesh, The Stranger)

He most likely burned down the circus and he himself is a victim of having his life destroyed

He is wearing someone's face.... Flesh and Stranger say hello

~

Gamekeeper

The Hunt

He is hunting down everyone who steps foot in his territory

~

Feaster

to be honest, I feel like this man is in his own league and cannot be categorized

~

If anything, it would probably be The Vast considering Hastur's head is a void with eyes

The ocean is often connected to the Vast as well

Geisha

The Lonely

With Miles gone, Michiko must have felt incredibly alone in this new country and hostile environment

considering we never really get detailed information, she could have cultivated her mark of The Lonely before she was killed

~

Soul Weaver

The Stranger or The Web

Circus, Freakshow, Prosthetics... Nikola, you forgot to pick up your spider friend

The Flesh would not fit, since she is getting prosthetics (non-biological). main story doesn't really deal with her body but rather what she makes of it

Spider mom. The Web primarily uses spiders.

~

Wu Chang

The Lonely and The Buried

Considering they seem to be very close (sworn brothers, almost identical design, they only exist together), Wujiu's death must have filled Bian with incredible loneliness

The Buried is also associated with "drowning" and "not being able to breathe", making it perfect for Wujiu

~

Photographer

The Eye, The Lonely, The End, (The Spiral)

Photography is a visual art, so The Eye is not far fetched

Conquering death and his obsession with it is a very good motive for The End

Joseph knows his brother is dead but still goes on and looks for a cure; it displays an obsession with a certain type of knowledge

Your twin dies. Loneliness here we come.

I only listed The Spiral because he is creating pathways to another place

~

Mad Eyes

The Hunt, (The Eye)

His fear of another attack would technically count as the fear of being hunted down. again, this would make him a victim, not an avatar but hey

tbh I just put down The Eye because his skills feature cameras

~

Dream Witch

The Web or the Vast

She is controlling a lot of followers... Web?

"There is something bigger out there" and Yhidra is right there with her followers

~

Evil Reptilian

The Flesh

His body was changed, thus The Flesh is a possible option

~

Axe Boy

The End

He certainly outlived his end

There is no special fear associated with nature and tbh I can't really find a theme for him

~

Bloody Queen

The End or The Slaughter

The End for living after being beheaded

The Slaughter is for going from Marie Antoinette to Bloody Mary

~

Guard 26

The Stranger, (the Hunt)

a machine becoming conscious and pretending to be human (or more) sounds very Stanger-like

Since Bonbon is used to keep people off the property, one could say he helps Bane hunt down intruders

~

Disciple

The Corruption

There is a lot of sickness and plague in her backstory; the corruption says hi (especially with the whole cat thing)

As tempting as Devil's Eyes sound, her story as nothing to do with The Eye besides the same symbol

~

Violinist

The Corruption or The Web

I mean he did get corrupted by the devil

His blood is "infected" by desire

His music seems to captivate others and it sounds almost as if it was addicting; he might be able to corrupt others

The Web usually controls people, so Antonio might fit there

~

Sculptor

The Spiral, The Stranger or The Flesh

The Spiral is often associated with madness or your mind lying to yourself. I think we can all agree she went mad enough to qualify

Creating very human-like sculptures sounds like a Stranger thing

Considering she most likely turned her caretaker into a sculpture, The Flesh might also be involved

~

Undead

The End

The End is all about death and this man is undead

There are avatars of The End who appear as "Death" until someone takes their place. They appear to be undead or immortal afterwards, so this is not a very far stretch

Reanimated Corpses/People are also marked by The End

~

The Breaking Wheel

The Slaughter or The Stranger?

From what I gathered they behaved just fine until one night, they suddenly started attacking people... so Slaughter?

Pretending to be one person or generally acting as a "family", the Stranger seems like a good choice

The Flesh doesn't qualify because while their "abnormal appearance" is mentioned, it is never really the main issue. acting is much more important to them.

The Lonely don't qualify because they still have each other

~

Naiad

The Buried

The Buried is also associated with "drowning" and "not being able to breathe"

One could also add in some Darkness or Vast for whatever turned her at the bottom of the lake

~

Wax Artist

The Flesh or The Stranger

His obsession with physical appearance and the fact he fused his sister to his shoulder makes it sound very Flesh-like

His sister still moves on his shoulder, so it might be Stranger related, especially with all those very human-looking sculptures

The End would not qualify since it was a one time event and not a long term obsession or issue

~

Nightmare

The Spiral or The Slaughter

With all the mind games, drugs and hallucinations, the spiral isn't far off

Another personality with violent tendencies! Slaughter, here we go again!
