The Face

**The Face**, real name unknown, is a very mysterious entity the Wyrdtraum mythos who is seen as the biggest opponent to the dream god Asa.

## Overview

The Face is an entity who is only seen within the dreams of humans. The dreams would start out in normal scenario, such as going to a shopping mall, attending school, and other mundane activities. At a random moment during the dream, the face of every person in the general vicinity would start glowing yellow while the rest of the room would turn to darkness. These creatures would then start to attack the subject until they become deceased.

Very little is known about the Face as a whole. Why it does what it does is a complete mystery. There are few who survive encounters with it, but even those who survive are left traumatized.

## Appearance

While rarely seen, there have been some who have been able to give a visual description of what the Face looks like. Its appearance is very simple, the form it takes is of a floating almost feature-less white face. The only features on its face are black eyes with white pupils and a jagged, constantly smiling, mouth.

## Personality

If one thing were to be noted about the Face, it would be its intense hatred of Asa. This would call into question why it causes almost the exact same dream to occur within people, causing their deaths. Many have given their own theories as to why it despises Asa while also doing basically the same thing as the being who causes it hatred.

The most prominent theory suggests that the Face sees the murder of humans as "saving" them from the clutches of Asa; which would explain its more direct approach compared to Asa's cruelly slow leisure when killing. Indeed, perhaps it sees the deaths caused by it to be more merciful compared to those caused by Asa.

## History

No one knows the origin of the Face outside of omniscient gods, those of who are unwilling to speak of it as a whole.

On December 26th, 1958, an as of now anonymous woman was found dead from shock lying on her bed. This death is often attributed to the Face due to the similarity between her and its other victims however nothing can be definitive. If she is one of its first victims, the it seems as though she was used as a sort of test subject by the Face.

The first definite sighting of it was on April 30th, 1976. Another anonymous individual was found shaken within their bed after screaming about seeing "a giant white face" in their dreams. When asked about further details, the individual just shook their head and said "please, no more." This seemed to have kicked something off with the Face, as from 1980-2004 it caused an estimated total of 160 deaths.

During the late 2000s to early 2010s, the Face has caused less deaths by the year. Despite this, it should be noted that the Face is still no less of a threat today as it was back then.

## Myths and Legends

The Face is an original character created by Nayerb for the *Gods and Demons wiki*. It was based on multiple dreams the creator had where a disembodied, usually pale or white, face would attack him.
