+ | '''Filth Resistance:''' Due to the constant presence of the Filth within her, Desdemona is able to walk into Filth Infected areas without much damage being done to her directly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Filth Knowledge:''' By being in the presence of the Filth, Desdemona can have access to the same knowledge that the Filth in the area has. However, whether or not The Filth actually want to share this knowledge willingly with Desdemona is another question. Should they not want to, Desdemona can force the Filth to comply, though it takes great mental strain on her part and weakens her to further influence. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Forced Knowledge Acquisition:''' While keeping direct eye contact with another person, the Filth can leave Desdemona's eyes and enter into the mind of a victim. Under Desdemona's guidance, the Filth begins to pilfer all they can from the subject's brain until the knowledge that Desdemona wants is secured and delivered. To the victim, it feels like a dull, rusty knife is being used to slice apart sections of their brain, and often leaves the subject mentally exhausted with a very intense feeling of violation. | ||

+ | '''Insanity:''' It's highly likely that continued use of the Filth will drive Desdemona insane, if she isn’t already. While the Filth has been content with just watching and interjecting when Desdemona calls upon it, they know there will come a time when The Filth wants more and Desdemona will be unable to do anything but give it. That's not to say that the presence of the Filth hasn't already taken its toll. Desdemona's savage and unrelenting nature can be partly due to constantly receiving the Black Signal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''No Personal Relationships:''' These are outright near impossible. The closer that Desdemona gets with anyone on an emotional, spiritual or physical level, the more dangerous for both parties it becomes. The worst case scenario is that the Filth devours the mind and sanity of those that Desdemona gets close with. She also knows that if there was something that she cared about other than the current Age itself, the Filth would try to use that against her. This has made her into a social wreck. She's outwardly abrasive and uncaring to people because it keeps them both safe. This, unfortunately, has come to include herself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Dreamless:''' The first thing that the Filth took from Desdemona was her ability to rest peacefully. The Filth, in all of its hunger, devours whatever Desdemona dreams. This has ensured that the Atlantean never gets to mentally rest as most people do. This leaves her feeling psychologically exhausted while she is awake, at the edge of her insanity most of the time and sleeping has no real mental difference to her than staying awake. Because of this, she often goes without sleep until her body collapses wherever it is and she wakes up whenever she has enough strength to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Hallucinations:''' As with anyone else, the longer that Desdemona goes without sleep, the more likely she is to suffer hallucinations. Slightly different from the breaks in reality that people normally experience from insomnia, her 'hallucinations' are fueled by the Filth looking through her. She has come to believe that the Dark Dream is a mirror reality to the one fueled by Anima and that the greater the influence that the Filth has over her senses, the more she's transported into the Filth's alternate reality. Though it is possible for her to gain useful information while enduring these hallucinations, it is by far such a horrifying experience that it's not worth it to her. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Dampened Anima:''' Due to the necessity of suppressing the Filth's presence within her, Desdemona has to limit the amount of Anima she uses. Thus, she relies on her physical attributes and technological enhancements instead of magic during combat. Ultimately, if something HAS to be subdued with magic, she won't be able to beat it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Mind-Breaking:''' The Filth watching through Desdemona does require payment every so often for its services. It is at these times that Desdemona maintains eye contact with an individual and allows the Filth to completely ravage the mind of her victim. Most of the time, this leaves nothing but a mindless husk of person, as if they had a lobotomy. The Atlantean has some idea what the Filth does with the victim's mind with their infinite hunger, but she benefits in no direct way by Mind-Breaking someone, unless further cooperation from the Filth counts. Should she not find a sacrifice, the Filth would start taking parts of her mind instead. | ||
