The Plagues

While the Seven Deadly Sins are represnted by collections of gangs and commnties, the ten plagues of Egypt are reprsented by ten high profile denizens with Murk City (though not all are necessarily criminal). The plague acts as a title which is passed on from the current individual to his or her apprentice. The Darkness- the name designated for the Raven The Blood- leader of the Red Guard who patrol and monitor Murk City on behalf of the Raven. A Water Muse knwoledgeable about the properties of blood. Using this knowledge, they have the acute abilyt to control blood that is utside a person’s body (though more powerful ones could contorl fomr within a person). Using the blood to taint water supplies and terrify opponents of the Raven, the Blood is feared by all Red Guard and Murk City citizens. The Frog- an Animal Affiniyt Muse who lives in the depths of the Murk City sewers. Rarely seen due to the secluded lifestyle, the Frog is the least notbaly of all the Plagues, however he is most known for his theft of food and clothin, and children. Childrne are told to fea the sewers as the Frog hunts for strays. The Wild Beast- an Animal Affinity Muse who controls the wayward Malignants who inhabit Murk City. Though feared for the relationship with the Malignants, the Wild Beast usually lives among them and nurtures the tortured minds of the forgotten Malignants in a hidden alley. Despite the name, the Wild Beast is the most docile of the Plagues and lives a life of seclusion with the Malignants. The Hail, the Fire, and the Storm- a trio of Muses (fire, water, and storm) who are the leades of the Wrath gang. They are very volitile and are respoinibsle for much of th random acts of violence within the city, espcially within thier own districts. The Locust- an Animal Affinity Muse who leads the Greed and Envy gang. Using the power and overwhelming impact of locust swarms, the Locust creates distractions for the gang to commit mass burglaries. The Locust is the first Plague that Kumari encounters and defeats. Lice and Boil: an Animal Affinity Muse and Healer Muse that call themselves ‘siblings’ and spend their time harassing the Vain and Pride gang. Using their powers, they inflict lice epidemics and cause boils to sppear. They are known to harass other people but they primarly target the Vain and Pride district. They are led by thier ‘older sibling,’ Pestilence. Pestilence- a Healer Muse who leads the two other Plagues, Lice and Boil. Pestielnce primarily targets the Lust and Gluttony district, infecting thier foods with diseases. Pestilence cuases wide spread epidemics in the Lust and Gluttony districts which inevitibly move into neutral districts. The Slayer of the First- shorthand ‘The Slayer,’ a Metisian who goes around killing first born children. He is considered a folk tale in the Wrath districts. It is unknown why the Slayer targets first-born but it is beleived to be stemmed from a combination of an inferiorit complex from older siblings along with a psychotic breaks often brought on by the Raven. The current Slayer targets children who feel inferior to thier older sibling and then used the Raven o break their mind. He is the second Plague to be encountered by Kumari. He challenges her to one-on-one combat bu they are inteuptted by a clash between the Red Guard and Metisians. Type Illicit, Other
