User blog:CryptidBryn/Obscure and unused Fears

So! I felt like making a list of Fears that either a) have never been used, b) have only been used by one person (typically the Fear's creator), or c) have only been used in one project. This is because I personally really like noticing underused Fears and writing about them myself, and it might be nice for other people to have a quick list to reference if they want to do the same.

(Also note that this list is only "vanilla" Fears, by which I mean Fears which aren't intended by the creator as a version of another Fear or as a combination of multiple existing Fears.)


 * The Glass Cat (unused)
 * The Growth (unused)
 * He Who Waits (unused)
 * The Lady on the Stairs (unused)
 * The Locked Box (unused)
 * The Masked God (planned for an upcoming podcast by Kiro Cloudwatcher)
 * The Masquerader (A Pawn of Fear - private)
 * The Monarch (unused)
 * The Oni ("When Hell touches Earth")
 * Spring-Heeled Jack (InvertedAngels)
 * Syntax (unused)
 * The Tarantella (unused in its "vanilla" form; a specific version is used in "The Queen of Maggots")

The Nomadic Verse
These Fears may or may not be officially part of the Fear Mythos, as the Nomadic Verse's official relationship to the rest of the Mythos is unclear, and I'm not sure whether or not it's fully moved over to the Tor'ete Mythos. Check before using these in a Fear Mythos story.


 * The Spider (unused)
 * The Warp (unused)

The Architect Verse
Similarly to the Nomadic Verse, I'm not sure whether the Architect Verse is still considered part of the Fear Mythos- allegedly, one member made a document detailing the AV's formal exit from the Mythos pretending to have had it signed by the entire community, but I haven't seen any Architect Verse people interacting with Fear Mythos spaces since then, so it seems like the AV has split de facto even if not officially. As with the Nomadic Verse, check before using Architect Verse Fears in a Fear Mythos story.


 * Lumane (unused)
 * Solis (unused)
