Proxies

Proxies are the typical servants of L'tradactil'lin and the Sorath. The term is properly only used for those two entities, but can be seen being used for servants of other entities. Commonly, proxies try to disguise themselves as they become reclusive and antisocial. Their personalities typically deteriorate, giving into their impulsive urges and intrusive thoughts. They often wear masks and layered clothes so that people don't see their bodies slowly become visibly decrepit. 
Typically, proxies were individuals once hunted by the Moon or worshipers of Sorath. Becoming a proxy is seen as unpleasant by those who fear these monsters, as azoth fibers slowly embed themselves in the victim's brain. These fibers take over the nervous system and allow the entities to control the proxies. For those who worship the monsters, however, the feeling is considered pleasant or orgasmic. Endorphins and dopamine fill the brain as the azoth fibers embed themselves and the entities take control. Those who fight back are more likely to become weaker and fall into debilitating illness while those who embrace the change are more likely to live longer and become close servants of the monsters.

== Types of Proxies ==
There are multiple types of proxies. There's more than just those listed here, and some proxies can fall into more than one category.
* Hallowed: Those whose minds have been entirely taken over, acting only on their vague impulses and commands from their owner. They typically use brute force when in use, and when not in use they enter a state where they wander around aimlessly, almost like something pretending to be human. Their bloodstreams consist of almost entirely liquid azoth.
* Berserkers: These are what you'd typically think of when you hear the word "proxy". The Moon and Sorath's loyal furniture; those who are under the monsters' control but are trusted to act on their own when they aren't in use. Most cultists who become proxies end up in this position.
* Sleepers: Those who are proxies, though unaware that they are. This often occurs by placing a new soul within the body, or a growth onto the body's current soul. Alternatively, a Sleeper could be administered through R053bud or through botched possession.
* Agents: These aren't proxies, but they serve the monsters anyways. Often times just regarded as cultists, written off by the public as conspiracy theorists, and not taken seriously by most.
* Revenants: The furniture who are most trusted by the Moon and Sorath, proxies whom they have gifted special abilities and strength, often given the souls of lesser members of the Pantheon who've been sealed away for varying reasons. They act similarly to sleepers, sharing the body with said lesser Pantheon member, but are in full control and often integrate into one being.
