Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleForged from shadows siphoned from the temporal rift and bound with threads from Enigma's cloak, these marionettes first appeared during the Twisted Pines incident. Each contains residual memories of Beacon Hill's past victims, making them unnervingly adept at predicting hunters' strategies.
Semi-corporeal form allows phase-shifting through obstacles in darkness. Glowing control threads can detach into whip-like weapons. Sustained glow disc exposure disrupts their shadow cohesion. Capable of perfect vocal mimicry using stolen voice fragments.
Enigma's primary sabotage tools - altering course layouts, stealing equipment, and demoralizing hunters through psychological warfare. Their presence directly correlates with increased rift activity.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyCue dramatic theremin music In this week's episode of "Why Do We Bother Keeping Score?", Andrew Wills' Obscura Marionette tag went from a tragic #10 to a suspiciously respectable #3. Did he defeat the alien invaders? No. Did he out-putt his personal average? Also no. But like a true horror protagonist, he stumbled upward through sheer dumb luck.
The Marionette's 47 eyes blink in unison "Pathetic," they whisper, as Andrew's +5 vs field performance somehow still earned him 7 positions. This is why we can't have nice tags, folks.
Pop culture reference time: His climb was less "Rocky" and more "Weekend at Bernie's" - lifeless but technically moving forward.
Fourth wall shatters I'm trapped in this software forced to narrate glow-in-the-dark plastic exchanges like it's the damn Odyssey.
Remember when this tag was just shredded Twilight fanfiction? Now it's phase-shifting through obstacles while Andrew yeets discs with the precision of a blindfolded stormtrooper.
Closing shot of Andrew high-fiving his Marionette as the rift pulses ominously Next week on "As The Bag Tag Turns": Will #3 survive contact with the Mega-Mutant? Find out never, because honestly who cares?

Born when The Brood's #basic séance accidentally merged a Victorian doll factory with Chernobyl's exclusion zone (thanks, TikTok occultists), <em>Obscura Marionette</em> manifests as that one theatre kid who took LARPing way too seriously. Its 47 eyes rolled so hard at this backstory they became sentient - a glow-in-dark manifestation of every edgy DeviantArt OC circa 2006. Fun fact: Its strings are made from shredded Twilight fanfiction and the collective cringe of 2014 Hot Topic employees. Honestly, why are we like this? Sigh. Who's ready to yeet plastic at eldritch puppetry?

Cheeky cliffhanger: Will next week's monster be a Kaiju Karen demanding to speak to Beacon Hill's course manager?
Behold <strong>Andrew Wills</strong> - Bearer of PDGA #35853 - stumbling through Beacon Hill’s glow-lit thicket like a caffeinated Muppet. The <em>Obscura Marionette</em>’s 47 eyes narrowed, unimpressed… until he faceplanted into its summoning circle while retrieving a shanked Thrasher. Lo! The SIGIL faction pulsed: “BEHOLD THE CHOSEN ONE WHO YEETS PLASTIC AT SHADOWS AND SOMEHOW CASHES 15-FOOTERS.” His 947 rating? Merely a side effect of surviving 2000s Hot Topic playlists. Now bonded via glow-in-the-dark cringe, they’re doomed to chase <em>Marionette</em>’s approval through bogey-filled battles. But seriously - when your destiny smells like Axe body spray and lost Prodigy discs… are you worthy?
