The Bound Siblings

The Bound Siblings are a horrorbrew created by @plumbadumba. They are the interconnected spirits of Mario and Luigi formed after their deaths in The Mansion, their physical appearances resembling how they each died. The Luigi spirit is named LOST, while the Mario spirit is named ROT. They are characters in the story of Beta, both presenting as his tormentors to fill him with guilt after the events of his body formation.
==Origin==
Mario's death in The Mansion had happened long before Luigi's. He had died of both hypothermia and starvation, restoring to cannibalism as his last chance of survival. He tore off parts of his gloves with his teeth to quickly expose his fingers and eat away at them, all the way to the bone. He was so desperate, he had tried to eat one of his arms as well, but he was incredibly physically weak and incapable. Eventually he had died, his body rotting away in The Gallery for an extended period of time, a long abandoned room of The Mansion. This would soon be found by Luigi months later.
After Luigi had found the rotten body of his brother, he mourned and wept for what felt like hours. He knew he couldn't live without his sibling, and so he hastily tied a rope into a noose on the ceiling of the room, hanging himself with a struggle. A few seconds after he died, the loose rope snapped from the ceiling, so the green one's body fell next to his brother's. (This is better explained in Beta's origin story.)
With the bodies of the two deceased brothers laid next to one another, their spirits began to rise out of their vessels. Originally, they were meant to pass onto the heavens, the golden skies of their world in peace, but the spirit of Mario had watched as the Soul had formed its own body from his dead sibling. This was enough to fill him with rage; an urge to haunt Beta for as long as his formation had grown. His brother, never wanting to leave Mario's side, joined him in his pursuit to act as Beta's mental tormentors for all eternity.
==Abilities/Weaknesses==
===Abilities===
*The Siblings can physically manifest themselves to only be seen from Beta's eyes.
*They can give Beta constant nightmares, manipulating his dreams as they please.
===Weaknesses===
*The Siblings typically cannot make themselves known if Beta is in a deep state of happiness or comfort.
*They cannot give him nightmares so as long if Beta does not sleep. Of course, this is a weakness for Beta himself as well.
==Trivia==
*ROT is the more aggressive spirit of the two.
*The Bound Siblings are considered to be one horrorbrew because they are spiritually connected with one another.
*Beta, when waking up from a nightmare, shows different physical signs dependent on who is the more focused spirit during his sleep. If the nightmare is more focused on LOST, Beta's neck scar will be sore. If it is focused on ROT, Beta will wake up hungrier, and sometimes colder, than usual. If it is focused on both spirits equally, both of the physical signs will be present when he wakes up.
