The Nightmare:
Advancement description: Despite having a singular effect, this advancement is composed of several pieces and parts. First part consists of a very specifically refined carbogen (30% Carbon Dioxide and 70% Oxygen) that quickens the heart rate and induces the primal thanatophobia. Then within this toxin is a well hidden and tempered Dopamine. While Dopamine may very well be "The sexy hormone" it also has proven to induce total dread and despair, true and total horror when introduced to an area of the brain just millimeters away. This area of the brain is the "nucleus accumbus" (the part of the brain that deals with both the feelings of emotional reward AND dread.  The introduction to dopamine in the lungs (and ultimately the blood stream) and cycling through the body while the nucleus accumbus is sensitive and "trained" on dread will only amplify the effects, and lingering in the bloodstream will ensure the effect is long lasting.

  Alongside Dopamine, a substance called Yohimbine is also added in potent amounts. Yohimbine is an aphrodesiac, though in copious amounts it fails to arouse and instead only gives a feeling of fear, dread and despair (much like the other components) though the difference being that Yohimbine evokes increased alertness, and increases distrust and paranoia. Further causing concrete fear is the chemical L-DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) which has proven to give vivid, horrifying nightmare, which serves two purposes in conjunction with other the other components. The first one being that this reacts with the effects induced with carbogen, as everyone knows your "life flashing before your eyes" is simply because of an oxygen deficiency and an increase of Carbn Dioxide in the brain, it's been studied and perceived as very close to a dream-like state. Carbogen puts you into a "dream-like" state and this causes the most horrifying experience of your life... this also works with our next "addition" which is BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor).

  BDNF is a protein that is related to long-term memory, but also has the nifty trait of helping you cope with trauma and terror. Of course this is also the same protein that solidifies fears, and gives "flashbacks" of traumatic events when introduced the same time as the traumatic event. This works primarily in conjunction with L-DOPA and makes every moment like this a solidified nightmare, a fear you will always have, forever, engrained into your brain. Every time you bear witness to humanity (or whatever was the subject of your fear), be it on television or in person, on a newspaper or on the web (the list goes on and on.) you will immediately lapse back into the fear you had during your exposure to the toxin. This fear is permanently part of you, unless of course you seek bio-chemical help which takes years of detox and therapy.

  Alongside the gas/liquid/powdered state that the toxin comes in, there is the introduction of an of an ingredient. That ingredient is sweat. When you are afraid, or dying it is your bodies natural reaction to sweat. It has been scientifically proven that being close to, touching, or smelling the sweat of a fearful individual will increase your heart-rate, as well as a few slightly noxious fumes that increase your sensitivity to fearful perceptions. So the more people in the vicinity, the more effective this gas will be. But all of this leads up to the final piece of equipment to this "fear" upgrade.

 The voice modifier that is within his mask. Humanity's mask modifies his voice to the point it's near impossible to decipher...but it has another purpose. His mask, while he speaks emits sound below 20 Hertz. This is called "Infrasound" and while Humanity talking can be heard, this sound is too low for humans to hear, and anyone with sensitive ears would likely have their eardrums burst or their ears bleed. Infrasound may not be able to be heard, but it DOES have effects on the human brain. In fact Infrasound is known to cause fear, anxiety and even more hallucinations. What's better is that the fear will change and become more intense as he speaks, securing all fear is directed at him in the subconscious. As this effects all people as it is responses to stimuli and not just one singular medium.

Advancement powers: Induces fear, despair and utter dread. Suicidal tendencies in all people, metahuman and human alike. Causes a permanent fear (PC permission) if permission is declined it will be highly advanced "illusions".

 In addition there is a gauntlet he created for a different medium of injection. As he an use it as a gas or powder easily enough, liquids must be injected or ingested. Ingested is easy enough but injection typically comes from his clawed gauntlet with syringes attacked to it. No, it looks nothing like Scarecrows.  The gauntlet has five hyper-durable needles, in bullet-proof glass coated syringes hidden beneath iron gauntlets with a Co2 pressurized chamber in the forearm that allows him to fire out one needle/syringe at a time.

Allows Humanity to have a tempered and military grade bow with special arrows that is encompassed by his special elemental ammunition as well as Tazers, grappling arrows, etc. This bow has it's own unique name "The Jester" or "The Jester's bite"


(Will be adding Rp mechanic "Vigilante safehouse".)

Advancement Weaknesses:
  Fear gas and it's lingering effects are all permission based. If it is declined it will only be illusions. The illusions effect sight, smell and hearing. Higher durability's require very heavy concentrations of gas to be affected or direct injection through the needle. The powder form  requires ingestion or exposure to a mucus membrane. Higher intellectual beings (metahumans with superhuman intellect) will be able to still function within reasonable levels while still feeling dread, or fear. Mostly effective in highly populated areas, however this goes against Humanity's strange morality and his mission.

Bow and Arrows are affected by intense winds and have more limited range.

Advancement cost: 25 Xp.
