Vögelein

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

APPEARANCE Vögelein is a very short, slight woman who looks like she could be anywhere from late teens to late twenties. She is blue-eyed with shoulderblade length brown hair.

IDENTIFYING ASPECTS At four feet nine inches tall, this girl be tiny. She might be mistaken for a child at a glance. On the skin of her back is a spherical marking.

CLOTHING STYLE Femme! She favors dresses and skirts in various styles, usually involving blue. Vögelein is used to making her own clothing and as a habit still favors things that are cut low in back to accommodate wings and the opening for her key, even when neither are relevant.

VOICE Used to having to address people hundreds of times her size, Vögelein tends to speak rather loudly and projects well. She's got a German accent and a high, sweet voice.

OLFACTORY Tbh at first she'll be a bit on the smelly side. She's spent her whole life as something that doesn't sweat and only bathed in alcohol spirits, and that rarely and just to chase moisture from her body. She'll catch on, but also she predates deodorant and the man she's lived with since the 1940s sure didn't use it.

MANIFESTATION

NAME Not Jakob

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Not Jakob has an enormous head and a huge, long reaching arm with a really big hand, so that from certain angles and in fog it appears to be a gigantic figure crawling along the ground, but get some clear distance and it’s just regular big with some grotesquely outsized body parts. It resembles a very old man wrapped in worn filthy clothes, with skin that’s sticky, sort of gelatinous and gray with tiny dark red veins. Wherever it goes it’s heralded by a smell of the sickbed and gunsmoke. It’s feverishly hot to the touch.

ATTACKS AND BEHAVIOR When Vögelein isn’t in sight, Not Jakob wanders aimlessly and leans heavily against walls. It will start for other people and use its giant arm to grab at them to pull close as if examining them, then throw them to the side. It will ignore people who lie down on the ground, or collapse after being thrown, unless they’re in its path. If it’s attacked it mostly flails but also may pick up and throw things in big, telegraphed arcs. When Not Jakob can see Vögelein it becomes more animated and will “protect” her by batting indiscriminately at lesser monsters, other Manifestations, and other player characters. If she’s in range it will grab her and either press her to the ground or into itself, smothering her.
