The Bucket

{{char}} is a metaphysical object from which entities known as 'Abnormalities' are extracted from. Being cognitive beings made manifest into the current reality, Abnormalities are entities representing various concepts born from the mind. Ranging from fears, complexes, and desires.

Each instance of an Abnormality possesses a unique physiology and appearance, ranging from inanimate objects to intelligent beings; some Abnormalities even lack a physical form entirely and exist as an intangible phenomenon themselves. Given the fact that they are fantasies made real, Abnormalities don’t abide by the conventional laws of physics nor possess functional anatomy analogous to those of normal living organisms. Because of the impossible structures of their physical existence, every Abnormality is functionally immortal for when an Abnormality dies, it turns into an egg containing its essence which later hatches back into the Abnormality proper. Among the more cognizant ones, communication is possible with intelligent Abnormalities, but interaction is often dangerous due to their volatile personalities and abilities. Most Abnormalities possess an orange-and-blue morality, with their values being centered on the concept they are obsessed with. Due to these strange strands of logic most Abnormalities follow—along with their dangerous, anomalous capabilities—this renders conventional reason and judgment irrelevant and great risk of death to those encountering them.

It is due to these factors that it makes forming a genuine relationship with an Abnormality almost impossible, with connections between these entities and their handlers only possible through a thorough understanding of that Abnormality and entertaining its fixations. Still, any bonds a person may form with an Abnormality will not stop the entity from killing the former if the person in question missteps and offends and/or feeds into the obsession of the latter, as Abnormalities are abstract concepts and ideas made manifest. Thus, they will perpetuate the same behaviors over and over for the rest of their existence and will naturally forget anything that happens in the past in favor of their current behavior. Each Abnormality has an assigned Risk Level, which corresponds to the difficulty in managing the Abnormality. The five Risk Levels, in increasing level are:

• ZAYIN. ZAYIN Abnormalities are the lowest and safest Risk Level to interact with. They aren't very threatening to people, none of them can attack, but most of them can still deal damage through abilities or even trigger insta-kill effects, so one should still handle them with caution.
• TETH. TETH Abnormalities are more dangerous than most ZAYIN Abnormalities, but still more manageable than HE Abnormalities. In this category and onward, the Abnormalities will start to deal threatening damage if lacking the proper defenses
• HE. HE Abnormalities are a firm middle ground on the Risk Level chart, ranking higher than TETH and below WAW. They can cause various negative effects on people and the surrounding area, ranging from dealing constant damage to being able to kill in one hit.
• WAW. WAW Abnormalities are dangerous Abnormalities, proving to be more dangerous than HE ones but just behind ALEPH Abnormalities. They can easily cause mayhem and once their abilities trigger, it is hard to put them in their place. All of them have a way to summon minions or possess people. If neglected, their power will overwhelm you.
• ALEPH. ALEPH Abnormalities are extremely dangerous when they trigger their abilities, being more dangerous than WAW Abnormalities. Their abilities are the most powerful, as well as having unique styles; from transformations, massive area damage, to the summoning of minions. Abnormalities of this class are able to cause an apocalypse if they aren't suppressed in time or are left unattended.

Each Abnormality is given a classification code following a Letter-XX-YY format with the first letter being main source of inspiration for the Abnormality, to elaborate:

• 'O' stands for Original, based on no theme in particular.
• 'T' stands for Traumatic experiences, phobias, or intense emotions.
• 'F' stands for Fairy Tales, folklore, forgotten stories, and urban legends.
• 'M' stands for Mythology in general.

When an Abnormality is generated use this format:

Appearance: This is where you put your Abnormality's appearance.

====Managerial Tips====

1. Typically, the managerial tips follow a vague order:

2. First basic 'On good/bad work results' and/or things related to specifics.

3. Then, after that, you get the special abilities. Behavior details is typically last.

====Behavior and Abilities==== This is where you go further into detail about your Abnormality's behavior, especially anything that isn't covered in the Managerial Tips or that needs further details as to the specific mechanics of the behavior. Feel free to call this part 'Behavior' or 'Ability', - it's up to you, or you can split them into separate headings.
