the trepidatio family is also known as phobia family has been created not too long ago. the trepidatio family is rarely known for it's name, but for it's phobias. the family is known to accept those with phobias and those without phobias. the family is shrouded in mystery along with the many phobias within the family.
all that is known about the family are the heads mothernature and victoria chase. the family is secluded from many, yet the question is why? in order to know the phobia family, one must join the family. beware, the phobia family is rather odd.
IN DEPTH
what are phobias you ask? phobias are parasites created by their host. The phobia's don't have specific phobias themselves, as in another phobia living within that phobia. the phobia is the representation of a specific phobia that lives within their host. however, since it is a representation, some people may have the same phobia with varying levels of ferocity. the phobia is however strong their hosts make them to be, as well as the phobias personality. the phobia is based on the host to be honest. some phobias are born, while others are made. made phobias are simply phobias that have become existent to someone recently, as they created the phobia.
phobias strike fear in people for different reasons; they might feed off of their victims life forces, some feel stronger afterwards, and others are just looking for a way to get rid of the fear that now overwhelms them by dumping it on someone else.
on the other hand feral phobias are phobias that have lost any and all sense of humanity, and are mindless, generally malevolent creatures. the fastest way for a phobia to turn feral is if they commit/try to commit suicide.
however, killing a phobia is pretty much impossible; you can kill its host, but not the phobia itself. the phobia would simply find another host to house themselves in. the only way a phobia can "die" is if nobody is scared of it anymore. considering the possibility of that ever occurring is slim and nearly impossible, a phobia may as well be considered immortal.
ORGANIZATIONS
— THE RING is not an organization someone wants to be in. All are applicable to be a member of the ring, phobia or non phobia. however, non phobias are automatically members of the ring if they are not servants, or part of any other organization. children are not spared from the ring at any expense, they are members regardless of whether or not they like it. the ring is an organization for prostitutes, that’s all it really is. members are simply there to do the do, if that makes any sense.
Mothernature does not care for the children born out of the prostitutes at all. the members within the organization are free to do as they like with little to no consequence at all. unless they are trying to challenge Mothernature for leadership, if you are, nice knowing you. it is unclear whether or not Mothernature would have a vice leader within The Ring, as she doesn’t give two fucks about any of the members there.
— MAD CIRCUS a place that is rarely spoken of out of fear. it is notorious for housing mutants created by the Phobia family. shows and such are regularly thrown at the circus, however it is not a sight one should see. even the most innocent beings would and will be scarred from the events witnessed.
The members within this organization were forced into it, by terms of lottery. the lottery that Kainotophobia had come up with. each and every member has one thing in common. they have been experimented on. members here in the circus are treated as nothing, they are starved, chained, killed, tortured, anything you can name it has been done. the circus is similar to a mental asylum, however it does not treat its "patients".
— SINNSYK also commonly known as the lab is by far the worst out of the three organization the family has. The worst part is that no one knows if they are going to be sorted into the lab, except Mothernature and Victoria. However, no one is really sure who came up with the idea in the first place.
Members who are selected for the lab are never seen again, until you see them once more in the Circus. That is.. If they even survive the lab. The lab is where non phobias and phobias alike are the same status, nothing. Those selected for experimentation will undergo atrocities done to the body and mind. Whether it be removing someone's brain, burning them alive to see how long they can last, using acid on the body, or even worse. However, there is one thing that is kept secret from all those within the family. Only the heads of the family know what it is, but just the mention of the secret experiment would turn the family into a war zone.
RANKING SYSTEM
it is fairly simple in terms of ranking that the phobia family has, compared to the workings of the rather complicated family. members are sorted into three groups basically, however there are sub groups within the rankings. below are rankings and the explanation and power of ranking.
— BORN PHOBIA have the most power within the family. mothernature herself, one of the heads of the family is phobia born as well. they are able to do as they please with ease within the family, despite the power of their phobia being extremely weak.
— MADE PHOBIA have the second most power within the family. victoria chase the second head of the family is a made phobia. made phobia's can do as they please with lower rankings, but with born phobia's there is some tension. any phobia, made or born has an abundance of power, however born and made phobia's don't get along. it is not required for a made phobia to kiss ass to a born phobia. no one ever stated that.
— NON PHOBIA have no power within the family whatsoever. they are either taken to work as slaves, servants, prostitutes, test subjects, or whatever it is that mothernature and victoria chase decide. being a non phobia family is not what one wants to be. all non phobia's despite occupation are treated as trash
