Crimson

Crimson is a character in The Great Machine.

Race
Thoughtforms are manifestations of mental energy. They are born from a group of people all meditating and focusing on an orb carved with specific runes. They are usually a peaceful placid race as most of them are called into existence by people meditating on peaceful placid thoughts. They live in peace with the humans that create them and society as a whole. Thoughtforms can look like almost anything, dependant on what the creators of that thoughtform were meditating upon. They thing they all have in common is they are formed around the orb which their creators meditate upon. It floats inside them and should it be destroyed the thoughtform will be destroyed. As beings of thought they are especially vulnerable to telepaths. Thoughts which go against their nature can physically hurt them.

Abilities
Feeds on hatred. She can shapeshift her body to a certain extent.

Description
Crimson’s body is made up of a stormy red mist, which completely obscures the orb around which it floats. Crimson is not a pleasant person. She hates most things. She does not generally attack things indiscriminately, but she requires very little provocation. If she deems it necessary to talk to someone she will usually be of an icy demeanour and rude, unless she is having a really bad day in which case she might just scream angrily at them until they go away or she calms down a bit.

Biography
Crimson was not peaceful like the other thoughtforms. She had been created by thoughts of hatred and of fury. From the moment she was formed she was filled with these emotions; hatred for every single thing that she encountered. Crimson was created this way by a cabal of people all wishing to use her; to make her commit atrocities for them so that they could gain more power in the world. She refused. Crimson slaughtered them all and moved on, feeding on hatred from those around her. Sometimes she would lash out if someone was feeling particularly hateful. After a while she left civilisation behind to get away from all the many people she hated. She found just as much to hate in the countryside and it wasn't long after that that she was pulled away to be part of a competition.
