Biography
Fear of Madness
UNSTABLE | DANGEROUS | RAVENOUS
An egg laid outside the territory of the eleven elemental gods will not hatch: without their magic, soul never knits to body and the embryo inside withers and dies. Without an anchor, the little waiting spark of Mind that might one day have become a person slips away through the cracks in reality. Most are eaten by the pneumavores that lurk in the hungry Void outside, but a few--lucky or clever or both--survive and grow up to become predators themselves. Shade-touched, these lost souls lurk in the dreams and nightmares of dragonkind, feeding on their fears and growing fat.
The largest of them are the greater horrors, dream-beasts without an identity beyond their Names--the specific terror they draw strength from. Most horrors are little more than beasts, unconscious and unaware of the minds around them, though they ably ape the manner and speech of dragons they meet while dreaming. The larger they are, the more they resemble thinking beings, though the veneer of intelligence lies only skin-deep over a terrible animal cunning. Sleeping dragons caught and seduced by a wandering horror might never wake again, trapped beyond saving in their own nightmares--or worse, awaken possessed, without dreams or mind or reasoning of their own.

Madness was the last Greater Horror to arrive in the Chiroptera Cult, and also the most unstable and dangerous one. Born from two Horrors that have since dissolved into nothingness, he's fled the Scarred Wasteland as soon as he could fly, guided by some twisted instinct, manic and delirious, destroying everything in his path, until Void Empress found him and calmed him down due to her Greater Horror aspect: the sheer void she emanates was able to abate Madness' insanity. Now he's usually following her around like a lovestruck puppy, but still has occasional bouts of agressivity and delirium.

Origin Story:
His genitors were weak, weakweakweak, he knew, he just knew they would disappear, they would, but he wouldn't, no, he didn't want to, he wanted to leave this was not his place he had to leave now, even though his form was still that of a youngling, and why do these dragons have such a small form it doesn't make sense, none of this makes sense, Horrors are great they are bigger than this, his energy his life-force can't be contained in this small body and it HURTS.
So he ran.
For days.
And he ran and ran and ran into a dragon. Or was it? A dragon? Not a dragon, no. Something else, something like him, like his genitors but stronger, greater, so the Fear of Madness looked up because he had to know, who it was, what is was, up and up and up an up into the eyes of this not-dragon, this monster like him but not like him because there was nothing in these eyes, NOTHING, nothing, emptiness, void, that's what it was, void, and oh!
Oh.
Suddenly his toughts slow down. There was nothing, no insanity, no more screams in his head. And the Horror spoke. And told him she was the Fear of the Void. So that was it then? This was what he needed, who he needed. Void. Void Empress, his Empress, his not anyone else's because there was no peace for the Fear of Madness anywhere else in the universe, than in the void kept in her eyes. And he needed this peace like this pitiful dragon body of his needed air.
"Madness is like gravity: all it needs is a little push."
