Urge Wyrm

There is an irony to the Wyrm, for as a being of destruction and entropy, it is immortal and indestructible. But also is imprisoned with in the webs of the Weaver. And while it isn't able to push through the webs himself, his thoughts, feelings, desires and other emotions are. Slipping through the cracks and spaces between the strands in search out new minds who resonate with the over all message of the urge they represent. But these "emotions" are a far cry from what any human can ever feel. These are the extreme feelings of shame and failure brought about insane madness of a beast that not even the most "enlightened" can hope to understand nor would they want to. These Urges, were once part of the greater whole, as were all things dealing with the Wyrm. However, as balance turned to corruption, they changed, mutated, spoiled. They out lived their usefulness in what their purpose was and found new purposes in feeding off mortals who heard their whisperings, and trying to dig their ways into their hearts.

The Urge Wyrms
Unable to manifest physically, as they are entities of pure, though corrupted, feeling. However they can influence those around them. But with out a mind to push their agendas with they are nothing but screaming wisps in the umbral night. Using mortal victims is easy enough. However sometimes stronger receptacle is required. This is where the Maeljin Incarna come into play. Powerful, intelligent and infuental spirits, each of them serving a head of the Hydra itself, and who collectively form the reigning "nobility" of the Bane hordes that in turn, serve the Wyrm. Once mortals, over time they became so infested and infused with an Urge Wyrm that they were transformed into the absolute thing that embodied everything about that Urge. Acting as its eyes, its claws, its host to inflict what ever twisted purpose. However, most others in service to the Wyrm view these Incarna as either useless or rivals, not wanting to deal with their petty politics. As such rarely do the Maeljin show themselves, and not all Urges have them.
 * Foebok, The Urge of Fear: Fear is the strongest and oldest emotion that mankind knows. The Wyrm is no different in this manner, realizing it was trapped, it panicked and thus this urge was born. Fear can drive any creature to do the most terrible things. "There is nothing to fear but Fear itself." was and excellent and encompacing quote to explain this. All aspects of the Triadic Wyrm seem to express fear, and no Maeljin really serve it, for fear is in everything. However when Black Spiral Dancers wish to approach Foebok, they call on Hakaken, "The Heart of Fear."
 * Vorus, the Urge of Greed: Growing from a desperate attempt to bring creation back in its control, Vorus grasps at everything within its reach. It is uncaring about why it has what it gains, only that it has it. There aren't any Maeljin for this urge, because of the nature of the beast. Giving up something of yourself to imbue a human with your power means you have less of something. Dancers invoke Relshab, "The Faceless Eater", to intercede for them with this Wyrm.
 * Mahsstrac, the Urge of Power: One of the youngest and perhaps the most of evolved, Mahsstrac grew out of the Wyrm's realization that it was helpless to do anything whiles imprisoned, and could only influence the world outside by manipulating lesser entities into doing its bidding. It cultivates a sense of authority and leadership in its targets, causing them to seek out dominance and control as a means to an end. They become brutal tyrants and dictators. Once again this particular Urge does not have need of a Maeljin servant, as it can function on its own. Spirals call upon the mighty and well known totem Incarna known as Green Dragon, "Destroyer of Life and Crusher of Enemies".
 * Karnala, the Urge of Desire: The great serpent entrapped, yearned for release, for freedom, for what it wanted more than anything else. As this yearning grew, so did Karnala. However the object for that desire was lost, for Karnala, like all the urges, was able to gain freedom, whiles the Wyrm was left to rot. Now Karnala represents the state of desiring, desiring for anything. Object, emotion, person, or place. Natural Desire is born of Gaia, and can be used to form complex and evolving relationships. However those touched by this Urge have difficulty seeing past their own gratification. Soon they are consumed by their own desire and try not only to own what they want, but try and become that thing. Thus furthering the endless desire. The Maeljin Incarna serving this Urge is The Countess Desire, Empress Aliara.
 * Abhorra, the Urge of Hatred: The pattern that held the Wyrm, the fact that the Wyld failed in its attempt to help it, the fact it could no longer help in its true purpose, and the failure to escape what binds it. The Wyrm has a lot to resent, and as this resentment fed in on itself, it soon gained enough energy to break free, not only becoming the root emotion of malevolence, but also innate self-loathing, that turns one upon others. Touched by this Urge, mortals become repelled by a person, or a group of people, situations, or even minor things that remind them of imperfections in themselves. They become more and more aggressive, going to great lengths to provoke hostilities upon those they hate. The Duke of Hate, Lord Steel is Maeljin to this Urge.
 * Angu, the Urge of Cruelty: Far more abstract and complex than most of the other Urge Wyrms, Angu came far later than most of the others. It is believed to be derived from Abhorra. When first explaining its state of imprisonment and anguish to potential allies, it found that it could not express itself adiquitly enough. Instead it wished for a way to show them what it was experence what it was feeling. Angu made this possible. Working on a subconscious level, it drives its victims into ignoring their empathy and understanding of other beings pain. Those possessed by this Urge, learn how to inflict all forms of abuse, mental, physical or even emotional. The Caliph of Pain, Lady Aife does Angu's bidding.
 * Ba'ashkai, the Urge of Violence: Basic, crude, and mindless are words describing this Urge. It grows from an ingrained compulsion to continue conflict long after its goal of escape was met. Whiles he can cloud judgment of others, he can do little in the way of forcing himself into another who consciously rejects him. However with all the other Urges can easily provoke and make mortals give him an entrance into their souls. Chieftain of Rage, Genernal of the Armies of the Wyrm and Patron of Abuse, Hellbringer, is the engine of brutality for Ba'ashkai.
 * Khaaloobh, the Urge of Consumption: Only vaguely understood, and only rumored to really exist, Khaaloobh has been denoted as the Urge of Consumption, indulgence, and decay. When the Wyrm convulsed strong enough in the webs, he distorted the immediate area around it. This signifies a breaking of the order around it. And whiles not broken, the web is defantly not in order. This urge even affects the Wyrm's minions, causing them to break down, wither it be mentally, emotionally, or even physically. The Dancers turn to Dark Fungus when wanting to reach this Urge and his Maeljin is known as Knight Entropy, The Wyrm's Spawn.
 * Pseulak, the Urge of Lies: The moment the Wyrm started to deny what had happened to it, and that it would soon be let free, this urge was brought forth. Fully formed with a life all its own. Whiles deception is a natural survival tactic, Pseulak takes this to a different level. Encouraging others to lie, and do it with more and more ease, becoming either comfortable in the lies they have spun, or topping more lies to cover the lies. Soon they will find themselves believing their own falsehoods. The Fallen tribe appeals to this urge with Kirijama, "The Hidden Foe" and its Maeljin is Corruption's Advocate, the Chamberlain of Lies, the Honorble Maine duBois, Esquire.
 * Sykora, the Urge of Paranoia: The Urge of paranoia was formed when the Wyrm first sensed the severing connection with the rest of creation, and with the world against it came its own personal distrust. Sykora lurks in the shadows of the mind, between the sense of how things should be and how they cannot be reconciled with how things really are. In this space, it builds complex irrational mental constructs that go against rational thought. Causing people to withdraw into themselves or lashing out at those that don't agree with their notion of reality. Black Spirals contact this Urge using the tribal totem Whippoorwill and The Archbishop of Madness, Doge Klyse is its Maeljin.
 * Gree, the Urge of Despair: Finally exhausted from struggling against the webs, the Wyrm lost all hope of gaining the merest freedom. This only quickened the corruption, decay, degradation, and widespread loss wrought by the other heads of the Hydra. Gree eats at one's will, grinding out hope of ever bettering yourself, and making one focus on ones mistakes. The Despair eats at them, and they slowly give up on trying anything. After the full death of the Camazotz, Bat became the voice for despair, whiles Gree's Maeljin is The Nameless Angel of Despair.
 * Lethargg, the Urge of Apathy. Considered to be the child of Gree, this Urge came after despair. With nothing to do but wait, the Wyrm grew uncaring of what its real fate was. Like with despair, victims become at a loss of what to do. Cutting themselves off from their emotions they contemplate suicidal thoughts, with little or no regard to whom they may affect. Though some see it as the weakest link in the chain of the Urges, perhaps its greatest evil is when nobody bothers to do anything to help these souls. The Maeljin of this Urge is The Master of Stagnation, Lord of Disease, Thurifuge.
