From Pact Wiki
Revision as of 20:21, April 23, 2022 by FossilLord (talk | contribs)

These are named or referenced incarnations within the Otherverse, Incarnate practitioners would deal in them. There are Greater incarnations that have other ones subordinate to but the difference between them and "lesser" incarnations are not fully explicated.

Anguish

Conquest

There is a Conquest in Toronto

Death

One of the Pillars of Human Existence. Related others include Revenants and Ghouls.

Discord

The Leonard family has connections with this concept

Doom

Famine

Related others include Black dogs

Fate

One of the Pillars of Human Existence. Leathermen

Fortune

One of the Pillars of Human Existence. Leathermen

Hate

related distinctly to Hang Dogs

Hunger

Subordinate or linked to famine, several examples with fertile ground to rise in even in north america.<ref>Verona was looking up famines and hunger in Ontario, especially Kennet.  Not much, but eleven point nine percent of households, apparently, had problems with being able to eat regularly, to the point it caused physical, mental, or social problems.
[...]
These things could be done by practitioners or by Incarnations.  Was there actual concentrated Hunger in the shape of a person, or Singing in the shape of a person, assuming that was how that worked?  If there was, then maybe there was one location or one event in Ontario where they were there, and they made stuff weird or affected a whole area with more singing or more problems with access to food. - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.1</ref> Hungry Choir is one incarnate.

Hunt

The pursuit of a target or prey but not necessarily capturing it.<ref>“My best guess is this is Hunt,” Jessica said.

“Hunt?  As in-”

“The hunter distilled, seeking, tracking.”  She motioned with her hand, then dropped something else.
[...]
“Good thing about it being Hunt is it’s about the pursuit, not actually catching,” Jessica said.  “Same for Yearning.” - Excerpt from Vanishing Points 8.3</ref>

Imbalance

A pair of Envoys were used as an example.

Impulse

An example shows up with Impulse Wraith King which used a wheel as part of its iconography.

Inquest

...<ref>

- Excerpt from Vanishing Points 8.3</ref>

Inquestion

Hypothetical example

Instability

Legacy

Likely subordinate to Death, an Envoy was used as an example.

Love

A powerful force that even Conquest acknowledges.<ref>“There are two kinds of taking,” Conquest said.  “When one gives love, love is not subtracted from a total.  Love can be taken a thousand or a million times over from the same individual, and that individual will not be bereft of love, if that love is genuine.  I am a taker of the other sort.  The sort to leave things bereft.  I ask you a second time, why should I value this as a gift? - Excerpt from Collateral 4.2</ref>

Nature

One of the Pillars of Human Existence, all animals including humans are linked to it as are others like Stranglings

Nescience

...<ref name=N>Nescience punishes thinking and blunts mental sharpness.  Drawing on talent, teaching, learning and skill while in Nescience’s light is often foiled, with a chance of backfire, fizzling, or pratfall, as the case may be.  Those drawing on instinct or taking the simpler road may receive minor benefit.  Intensified, Nescience steals away talent, higher learning, and skills, and this can be permanent, forcing a hard journey to relearn it, if the target is in Nescience’s embrace for long enough. - Pact Dice: Incarnates</ref>

Pestilence

Discussed incarnation.

Poverty

Quarrel

Likely subordinate or linked to Ware and/or Battle, but of course, a much more personal expression of such contentious feelings, an Envoy was used as an example.

Shelter

Spring

Subordinate and linked to Nature, used as an example of Envoy.

Strife

Used by Alexander Belanger may be linked or subordinate to War.

Victory

Helps those already winning and keep what they take, but can leave very easily.<ref name=V>Victory is capricious, and favors the person with the upper hand in a contest.  Victory strengthens the strong and makes the territory and successes of the person who has most recently succeeded that much more secure.  Intensified, Victory tends to bring confrontations to a quick close, empowering final blows. - Pact Dice: Incarnates</ref>

Wanderlust

...<ref name=W>Wanderlust is the restless drive to explore and to move.  Those in her area cannot stay still to work at a task.  Those in her area find moving faster and easier, but stopping to pause for more than a few seconds is not possible.  Intensified, she punishes those who backtrack and doubly punishes those who tarry.  Spikes may sprout from the ground to tear at the feet, or teeth may nip at the heels. - Pact Dice: Incarnates</ref>

War

One of the Pillars of Human Existence. Related others Dog of War. Can have sons, possibly panic and fear.

Yearning

...<ref>

- Excerpt from Vanishing Points 8.3</ref>

Youth

Likely subordinate to Life or Nature, an Envoy was used as an example.

Trivia

  • While essentially any idea that can be expressed in a single word could be an incarnation this list is restricted to those that show up in the Otherverse.
