Torn

The Torn, the Bleeding Ones or Chosen of the Red Horsemen, are one of the Tresholds in Geist: The Sin-Eaters. It represents one of the ways a Bound could view his own death.

Description
The Torn died by violence: a bullet by a mugger, a knife by a rapist, a beating by a mob. As a result, the Bleeding ones tend to be violence-oriented: one might be obsessed with vengeance or a particularly brutal form of justice, while another might be what can only called a living saint; working to prevent violence and bring about understanding and reconciliation. However, violence is always a part of their new existences in one way or another.

The geists of the Torn almost invariably represent this violence: A skinless woman with knives for fingers and barbed wire for hair who screams for vengeance, a thin man wearing a hoody which constantly drips blood and trails a smell of gunpowder, a collection of voices all screaming for mercy in a dozen different languages.

Deathsight
The Deathsight of the Victims of Malice is equally violent. A blinding headache, a momentary veil of blood over their eyes, and the dead appear, showing every wound, bruise and trace of poison appears in disturbing vividness.
