My OCs' Phobias
TW: R@pe, Loss.
Scale: Severe - Affects them harshly and easily. Moderate - Affects them noticeably when triggered. Mild - Affects them slightly when triggered.
Viper: Thatanophobia (In her case, the fear of the death of loved ones, severe)
Explanation: Viper endured the loss of the only who ever cared for her, therefore, anyone else close to her is so sacred to her that even the slightest thought of them dying breaks her heart to dust.
What she looks like when triggered: Viper may shed a few tears, but will mostly remain stoic. She may seem emotionless as she stares into the distance, it'll take a few tries to get her attention as she melts on the inside. When she actually loses someone, she'll likely let out an ear-piercing scream to let out what silence cannot.
Vyeshna: Fear of Abandonment. (Couldn't find a name that matched, moderate.)
Explanation: After the Red Year, when she lost everything, her newly found lover is all she has left.
What she looks like when triggered: Vyeshna may randomly dwell on the thought of being abandoned. As these thoughts rush through her head, her leg make shake uncontrollably, she'll fidget with her hair or face, or just act unusually quiet.
Lyrandra: Atelophobia (The fear of making mistakes, moderate.)
Explanation: She failed her sister and refuse to fail anyone else. Her rise through House Telvanni, her friends, her husband, even doesn't matter who it is.
What she looks like when triggered: Lyrandra will become over apologetic and emotional if she believes she's not performing well or has already failed. While her loved ones tend to comfort her and it does help, she usually has an unshakeable feeling of guilt whenever she messes up.
Dimik: Acrophobia (The fear of heights, moderate.)
Explanation: It's just a natural thing she's always had and can't fight it off. (I also think it's a cute addition xD).
What she looks like when triggered: Dimik will likely grab onto the arm of whichever of her friends are closest, Xelzaz, Inigo, Remi, you name it, usually yielding different results depending on who it is.
Kona Dreki: Atelophobia (The fear of making mistakes, severe.)
Explanation: Being created by Akatosh, Kona doesn't really fear anything other than failure. It's not the what Akatosh will do if she fails that scares her, it's her own dignity she wants to protect, and the divinity of Akatosh.
What she looks like when triggered: She'll get severely angry when she fails, tending to stab the ground with her sword before yelling slurs at herself. This only triggers when she fails.
Maevynn: Anthropophobia (The fear of people, mild.)
Explanation: After everything with her family, the reason why she's a pirate, she lost trust in people, finding it hard to be friends with let alone love someone. She usually will betray people based on her fear of them backstabbing her first, not because she outwardly hates them. She doesn't want to distrust people, but she doesn't know how not to. Even though her fear is mild, it still affects her everyday.
What she looks like when triggered: She tends to be silent, eyes flicking around the room with her wits about her, watching everyone's movement. Other than her crew, she doesn't want others nearby who could potentially harm her or those on her ship.
Marina Green: Genophobia (The fear of sexual intimacy, mild.)
Explanation: At a young age, Marina was taken by the Thalmor and assaulted in a multitude of ways. That scared her but she was strong enough to move on... mostly. She doesn't have an outright "fear" per say, as sex is a natural thing but when forced upon someone obviously isn't okay, but it's not something she seeks after that. Thankfully, she trusts her loved ones and her lover isn't into that kind of thing (Cary is seriously the perfect match for her).
