Silent (GTS)

The Silent are one of the Thresholds in Geist: The Sin-Eaters. It represents Hunger and can show one way a Bound could see his death.

Description
The Silent died because no one cared: the man who drowns his fears in alcohol, the forgotten detainee, the old man who died alone, forgotten by his family members; the man who starved in front of a restaurant, the man who suffocated; they all have the possibility to return as a Silent, marked forever by Hunger and Need. They tend to be at peace with their deaths and themsleves, radiating a distinct silence that can be unpleasant for others. One of the Silent develops something approaching a level, zen-like calm, even while his friends are running and screaming around him. Another becomes cock-sure and blasé about the dangers she faces. Another becomes an enigma, reacting to the horrors, sufferings, and dangers he faces in a bizarre, withdrawn manner.

The Geists of the Silent are the ones who contact their victims soonest and communicate with them the longest time before the bargain is made. A hollow woman’s skin flayed and tanned and removed in one continuous winding strip; a creeping edge of some shadowy, decrepit, labyrinthine building made of concrete and broken glass; a kind of absence, a nothing that surrounds the Bound in a psychic vacuum, and which communicates only in terms of absences.

Deathsight
The Deathsight of the Silent is comes slowly, like the dawning of hunger, and brings with it a gradual appearance of decay and deprivation. Erverything becomes incredible thin and most seems to be in a far distance.
