	'''Touched by Fear''' ''(Impassive)'': Growing up in Halloweeners' turf means living in constant terror. Zombie's seen people beaten, stabbed, and burned alive for fun. At first they were a victim, but after being jumped in they had to start contributing. That sort of stuff makes a person go numb, and when combined with heavy use of horror BTLs it's hard for Zombie to feel much of anything.

Not only do they funnel a good portion of their paycheck into expanding it, but when confronted with a valuable piece of merch on a run they must make a composure check of 3 to not try and acquire it by any means necessary.

A face and illusionist hedge witch, Zombie's spent most of their life as a member of the Halloweeners' rank-and-file. Unlike most of their peers they saw the gang as more than an excuse for hedonistic violence; they treat the idea of Halloween with an almost religious fascination, and believe that capturing its essence is their defining purpose in life. They saw Pumpking Jack's arrival as a horror trid brought to life, and betrayed their gang to join up as a member of the Starscreamers.

	Now the Pumpking is gone, and Zombie's been left high and dry. With nowhere to go and their name at the top of the ~~loyalist~~ 'Weener's shit list, they've turned to running as a way to make ends meet. They have no money, an awful rep, and a body covered in tattoos from the most hated gang in the city. On top of all that, Jack's disappearance has given them a crisis of faith. If the messiah of fear couldn't bring about true Halloween, will it ever really come? And if it doesn't, ~~does~~ the ~~fear they~~'~~ve lived their whole life in~~ mean anything at all?

	Tanya "T" Chen was born deep in the Halloweener's Redmond territory, and got exposed to the gang from a very young age. Growing up in poverty, T spent much of their early teens working the streets ~~and~~ pushing the Weener's trademark BTLs. ~~When~~ their ~~talent~~ for ~~magic awakened at 17,~~ they ~~were~~ jumped in ~~for real and became~~ a ~~made~~ member ~~of the gang~~. ~~Although their~~ reasons for joining were originally pragmatic (better to light the fires than to be the one getting lit), the life of hard drugs, concussions, and ~~constant terror~~ eventually sent their psyche careening off the deep end.		Tanya "T" Chen was born deep in the Halloweener's Redmond territory, and got exposed to the gang from a very young age. Growing up in poverty, T spent much of their early teens working the streets pushing the Weener's trademark BTLs. Although less handy in a fight than their fellow gangers, T's aura reading and knack for telling people what they wanted to hear got them jumped in as a full member at 17. Their reasons for joining were originally pragmatic (better to light the fires than to be the one getting lit), but the life of hard drugs, concussions, and jailbroken slasher BTLs eventually sent their psyche careening off the deep end.

	T became ''obsessed'' with the concept of horror. While most of her gang mates treated Halloween as an excuse for ~~violence and~~ cheap thrills, T viewed it as ~~their reason for living~~. Horror movies became the lens through which they viewed the world, a method of coping with the harsh realities of ~~the gang~~ life. All of the senseless violence that they'd grown up around, that they were now ''participating'' in, Halloween made it mean something. Everything that T did was ~~a means to an end, a way~~ of ~~bringing about~~ true ~~terror. What~~ that ~~actually~~ is, only they seem to know.		T became ''obsessed'' with the concept of horror. While most of her gang mates treated Halloween as an excuse for cheap thrills, T viewed it as a sacrament. Horror movies became the lens through which they viewed the world, a method of coping with the harsh realities of Halloweener life. All of the senseless violence that they'd grown up around, that they were now ''participating'' in, the idea of Halloween made it mean something. It wasn't just arbitrary, it was ''art''. Everything that T did in the gang was justified by the pursuit of true Halloween, although what that even is only they seem to know.

	~~When~~ Pumpking Jack ~~arrived on the scene, Zombie took it as a sign from god~~. The shadow spirit's aura was intoxicating, ~~a fear~~ straight out of T's horror trids. Even more than that, Jack treated Halloween with the reverence it deserved. He was a muse that T~~'s flailing sanity~~ could latch onto, and they ~~joined up~~ with the Starscreamers without a second thought. The crew was everything they'd hoped for, and ~~for~~ a few short months it seemed like true Halloween was just around the corner. Then, Jack vanished.		Pumpking Jack's arrival in Seattle changed everything. The shadow spirit's aura was intoxicating, and their appearance was straight out of one of T's horror trids. Even more than that, Jack treated Halloween with the reverence it deserved. He was a muse that T could latch onto, and they threw with the Starscreamers without a second thought. The crew was everything they'd hoped for: a group who saw Halloween as more than an excuse to light people on fire. Jack was generous with his subordinates, and through his gifts T's spark grew into full fledged magical powers. For a few short months it seemed like true Halloween was just around the corner. Then, Jack vanished.

	The fine ~~etails~~ of Jack's plots weren't shared with his rank and file, not even those as fanatical as T. As far as they know the spirit just up and vanished, leaving a fractured and leaderless gang behind. The remaining Starscreamers lacked Jack's ~~spark,~~ his inspiration, and as Nightmare's Halloweeners began to enact their retribution T decided to flee. They're currently hiding out in ~~Touristville~~, taking shadowruns to make ends meet while ~~sorting~~ out their crisis of faith. Jack had been Halloween personified, and yet even he couldn't bring it about. All of the things that T's done... if Halloween never comes, then what did any of it even mean?
