== Description ==
A Blinker is a being which feeds off of paranoia and fear. They appear as smallhumanoids with whitish or grayish bodies and small, childlike heads with mischievous facesand over-large smiles. They always stay just outside the view of their victims, and so are veryrarely seen clearly. They sometimes will take on an appearance based on the history of theplace they haunt. For example, in the example listed in the Story Seed, they might appearburnt and burning.
== Location ==
Blinkers are normally found in old, abandoned places where suffering once occurred,but where people have not been for a long time, giving them time to grow in strength.It is sometimes thought that they are the souls of the occupants of these places taking vengeance for the fear and suffering they experienced while alive.
== Modus Operandi ==
Blinkers will appear in small groups of 2-10, appearing for just a split secondon the edges of their victim’s vision. They will continue to do this, sometimes only effectingone or two victims in order to cause the others to become suspicious of them, dividingthe group and increasing paranoia. At the end, they will cause the group to kill each other, andwill disappear until the next time someone enters their domain.
== Neutralization ==
Blinkers are odd creatures which are both physical and spectral in nature. Assuch, they can be defeated physically, but this is difficult because of how they operate. Theonly way to physically destroy them is to hope they accidentally don’t Blink properly in orderto have a second to attack. They will not fight back, only continually try to Blink away sothey can continue toying with the minds of their victims.
== Story Seed ==
A group of firefighters are lost in a burning building. A week later, a crew is sentin to recover their bodies, and see strange entities just in the corner of their vision. At the endof a long and terrifying night, one of them comes out, covered in blood and alone, and reportsthat he is responsible for the death of the others.
