## Franticity

### Namesake

interlude I (Franticity) (song by Zach Callison)

### Type

Natural Non-Humanoid Long-Distance Operation Type Colony Stand

## Appearance

### Larval Form

They take the form of incredibly small, white, silkworm-like larvae. They appear soft and fuzzy and have a single eye surrounded by a ring of false eyes.

### Mature Form

They take the form of a mothlike humanoid creature resembling a fairy. They are at minimum about half the size of an average adult's hand. They're primarily white, with red accents on the tips of the wings and red eyes. They have antennae, moth wings, six limbs, and a semi-humanoid body and head. The backs of their heads extend out to a point as a carapace, and are covered in eyes. They're still very soft and furry, but their wings seem metallic in nature, and they have mandibles or a beak in place of a mouth or proboscis.

## Abilities

### Anxiety Prosumption

Franticity's main ability is to feed on anxiety and grow.

Generally, it must first latch on to an individual, tending to settle its habitat in someone's body, usually around the skull area, entering in through mouth or nose. Once settled, it aims to put the host in situations that may cause anxiety, worry or anticipation. It then feeds on these anxious thoughts and grows slowly, often causing nose irritation, headaches and migraines, and blurry vision as it does, due to growing within the head. Despite this, while growing, it doesn't seem to cause any lasting or notable damage to the body itself.

### Metamorphosis

Once Franticity has grown to a sufficient size, it will go dormant for a while, usually about the span of up to a day. Once dormant for a sufficient amount of time, it will metamorphose into its mature form, and will then try to escape the host's body, most commonly through the nose or mouth, often causing unbearably splitting headaches, severe bloody noses, coughing and actual physical damage to the body as it does. A smaller mature form is unlikely to kill the host in its escape but is likely to cause severe damage as it is frantic as it moves. If the mature form is larger, it might cause fatal or permanent damage. Once out, If it tries to fly, it will spread a white powder-like substance from its wings that causes skin, throat and eye irritation, and cannot actually achieve liftoff. All it can do once it escapes is try to return to its user.

### Silk Threads

Franticity's active ability is the ability to use thin but sturdy silk-like string to manipulate the environment around it and its host. The string can pass through the body of the host without actually physically making contact with them, but is solid once it reaches outside of the host's skin, and can attach to surfaces, knock things over, pierce through other people's skin and grab and pull things. It cannot cause any major damage to a person in this way, and can only cause minor puncture wounds in the skin at surface level.

## Trivia

* It is largely physically based on silk moths and their larvae as mentioned.
