The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

I Spy
I spy, with my little eye, a little red fish sitting in their windowsill...

Eyes of a Friend Long Lost
My friend used to be my eyes before he perished. Now, he'll always be with me in my eyes.
With a mask covering his face, it is almost impossible to tell that his eyes have been replaced by a creature whose origins are shrouded in mystery and his presence instills fear by those who know of the danger: Goose, the duck. Of course, this is all just exaggeration, but the perception of Icarus' long lost animal companion hold true to their rumors, granting supernatural marksmanship and weakpoint targeting to the half-orc.
But trauma never goes away without lasting effects, or visions of what you have lost. In times of terror and grotesque physique, the eyes of Goose see under the surface, laying the path to much worse than meets the mortal eye, leaving the woefully unprepared more vulnerable. In simple terms, Icarus has become more open to the eldritch horrors that scrape the minds of their sanity.

Gets the Scoop
*Blink Blink* "Yeah, that'll be in my nightmares later."
After the events of Game I, Booh's internal mechanisms began to experience a peculiar change. He felt the definition of his memory increasing exponentially, the increased speed of his processing making his body feel sluggish, the faces and expressions of people becoming more distinct... The force of the change was enough to leave him with a eye-splitting headache for a week, doing no more than responding to emails in the dark of his room, computer screen as dim as it would go.
Once he was up and walking again, Booh saw the world even more clearly than he did before. Colors more vivid than life itself, barraged with images that wouldn't leave the forefront of his mind without substantial effort. Given his new line of work, he was fearful for what might come next. He knew only one thing-- He *would* get the scoop, even if that meant scarring himself in the process.

Synthesthesia
“See a doctor. I can taste the jaundice.”
The doctors must have slipped him something during their tests, because his senses gradually sharpened and spun together. That wasn't all, though.
They gave him a clean bill of health, but the sinking feeling in Hearne's stomach only grew. Something was wrong.
His alien fungal infection came back stranger than ever.
In addition to a widespread subcutaneous fungal infection, Hearne has a kind of fungal encephalitis. The electrical pulses from the alien fungi, and the fact that it's presence causes swelling in his brain, combined with his artificial synesthesia to produce vivid hallucinations. These hallucinations, as it turns out, provide a certain insight.
