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).

Predator/Prey
The beastmaster closes their eyes and channels nature's bloody struggle for survival. When their eyes reopen, they catch the light and glow red like a dog's. While in this heightened state, they may triangulate the tiniest sounds or smells.

Wild Hound’s Hunting
Colvin has started to physically change, taking on some of the senses of a wild Fae hunter
Colvin passively can differentiate scents to a greater degree than the average person, similar to the ability of a hunting hound.
To most, he just seems a little oddly perceptive. Those who really look into him though start to notice that he reacts to scents instinctively almost the same way a dog would, and with a similar level of ability in differentiation.
The Spear has begun to truly initiate Colvin into the physique of a hunter. While before it “graced” him with the Bite of Gwyn’s Hounds and a small slice of the Fae’s glamour magic, now it grants him the Hounds’ sensory ability.

Kaleidoscopic Sea
The insignificance of self, revealed and echoed.
By metaphysically embodying their grief and sorrow for such cumulatively long stretches of time, the gift user had gained a greater understanding of the world around them which they cannot 'unsee' even in their normal form. The flow and the inertness, the liquidity and the malleability, the energy and the static of their surroundings are all felt keenly by them at all times. It is, in equal parts, humbling and enlightening.
The gift user does not exhibit any visual cues with regards to this Effect.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
- Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
- Hydroreception: You may detect liquids, aquatic currents, and even circulatory activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting circulatory activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.
- Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
- When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.

Visual Sensor Suite

After getting an eye gouged out in its first contract, 8AST decided to make a few upgrades before putting it back in. While at it, it popped out the other eye as well and made sure both were up to the new standard.
