Anxiety

***Anxiety*** is a mental disorder, event, Status Condition and situational fear that occurs in most humans or human-based entities in *the Rage Knights: Red God* universe.

## Location-Based Phobias

In the series, there are several locations that play homage on the theme of *lookism* and *racism* in where anxiety is usually a very common experiencefor multiple characters whom have a difficult time normally adjusting to the location, if it's densely populated and with larger groups of people. Or certain groups of people (i.e. prejudice, unfriendly and downright antagonistic people). This causes the character to experience a great, surmounting level of anxiety and stress, thus leading to mental anguish, fatigue, breakdowns and angry outbursts. In most circumstances, those whom witness a person experiencing an anxiety attack will instead use their own fear tactics to engage such as yelling, mistreating the person, or calling the police. This is very common in modern/post social media-based *Earth* societies but in other societies, especially post-*Nomad the Lost* arc stories, there had been a huge jump and widespread movement to take mental health conditions such as Anxiety seriously.

## The Diseased

The demonic entities known as the Diseased sense fears of others and linger to their emotions, desires and other basic needs. Due to the cruelty of most human-based creatures in the universe, any whom express great deals of *anxiety* often attract these demons easily on a whim. Making the creatures multiply. Various forms of humanoid Diseased tend to attract to individuals whom fear being judged. These Diseased tend to be forms such as Gossip Kings, Lurkers, Mall Creeps, Post-Credit Bullies, Stalker Women with Cameras, Forget-Me-Nots and Lonesome Mockers. The likes of which are all humanoid Diseased born from negative remarks and cruel statements that belittle and disregard others. Anxious people whom fear judgement often run into these forms of Diseased and if not those, occasionally larger entities based on the individual's level of anxiety.

Some Catastrophic Lords, such as Stop-Aventeers heavily play on the Rage Knights individual fears and anxieties. Most notably the anxiety of Damon Bradley and his incarnations of the past (Teen) and future, Nomad. Usually it employs bullying tactics such as Driving his targets to Worthyzone, Pack-Next Shipping and using physical attacks to kick his targets into certain unfriendly people as a sort of dark comedy '*gag' (see: Kick Into Ex-Crushes* or *Kick Into Mean People).* Though primarily, Stop-Aventeer demons tend to use copyright/infringement-based bullying tactics to make the Rage Knights fear as if their adventures are far too late and that they may never continue their lives. Almost creating an existential anxiety and impending doom in their minds.

## In Attacks

Anxiety-based and fear-based attacks are frequently used by Bully Tacticians and various Gods and Fallen Angel/False men entities alike. They tend to use forms of both Perception Magic and sub-type Bullying Tactics to induce fears, paranoia and other characteristics that inhibit the target from behaving appropriately in various situations. This includes even manipulating others to carry out the attack's stages such as residents, customers or workers at shopping trips or other simple activities. Initially, to properly prey on a person's anxieties, bully tacticians and perception magic users or illusionists use Superficial People to harass, stalk, spy on or generally antagonize the target. If they are experiencing anxiety or already overwhelmed with society, by amplifying generalized superficialities or Diseased summons, this can inflict double damage on the target.
