The Answer are a cast of Fears that represent decisions and choice. They all have individual manifestation, but some universes they are the same being that can manipulate free will of mortals. It is unknown whether they have lived alongside the Fears or that they had been recently born into the world due to some eldritch event. Some speculate that they were spawned as living manifestations of the Crossroad of Trials, a sentient domain that trials whomever happens to be in it. The Answer consists of these four entities although there may be more, but that is very unlikely:
- (Other Names: The Way of the Wheel, The Die of Time, Lady Luck, Fortuna, The Wheel of Fortune, Ring of Changes, The Baroness of the Coin, Tytar Tuuri) The House of Fortune is the Fear of chance and probability. It usually manifests as a human strapped by a harnesses in the center of a large roulette wheel. The human being is a previous victim of the fear with some physical modifications (ex: eyes had been replaced with dice). Instead of the edges of the wheel being like a normal roulette wheel, they have ever changing words that say every possible chose the onlooker could make at that moment in time. It plays games of chance with people and usually works in the realm of probability. When it looks for a new victim, it stages a series of games of chance. The loser becomes the next victim.
- (Other Names: The Way of the Weight, The King in Stone, Atlas Eyes, The Living Statue, The Catechist, The Sleeping King) The King in the Mountain is the Fear of truth. His true form is unknown, as that body is currently sleeping underneath the earth. that form is waiting to for the end of the world when he will finally awaken and be free. His avatar until then as a giant stone statue modeled after an Unknown male figure of royalty/power from Medieval period.If asked any question, he will answer the complete and utter truth, as is its nature. becos of this, it is impossible for him to lie. However, the answers will be so morbid and terrifying that most people will lose their minds due to it. Similar to Living Statues, he can only move when he isn't being observed can only move in slight increments when not. The only body part he can move while a human looks at him, are his eyes(which is very creepy in my opinion).
- (Other Names: The Way of the Willing, Janus, Lerna, Hydra, The Myriad, The Opener of Masks, The Keeper of Faces, Dantalion, Twelve Archetypes, Loki, Ba'al) The Unbounded Face is the Fear of indecision and manipulation. The Unbounded Face appears as entity of varying descriptions, sometimes as a head or a full body. but in all forms, the head consisting of any number of multiple faces at a time. Sometimes, It appears as hundreds, thousands, millions of faces all on an infinitely large head. The faces constantly change, morphing and melting into other faces. Some are completely blank of expression, others express only one emotion (Happiness, Sadness, Anger, etc.). It usually hunts down people who are at a breaking point in their lives.
- (Other Names: The Way of the Wanton, The Mistral, Zephyrym, The Bodiless Voice, The Siren, Force Majeure, Mother Nature, The Watcher in the Fog, The Vane, The Cyclone, The Grandmother of Shudders, Baba Yaga)The Woman in the Wind is the Fear of past mistakes. She usually manifests as something related to air, gas, and the atmosphere, such as a large mist, a windstorm, or a faint outline of a woman, made out of gray cloud-like gas, but she has no standard form. She specifically targets those with power and influence, and uses its control over air to ruin the victim's life before killing them. Sometimes it will repeat the last words of all of its victims, expelling their final breaths.
