The Tatari

Name: Tatari
Nickname: The Thirteenth, the Living Phenomenon, Night of Wallachia
Age: Around 500 years old, no older than 630 (Given it takes place in 2015)
Birth Date: Unknown
Gender: Genderless (Originally Male)
Race: Vampire
Special Characteristics: 
The Tatari is known to be a curse that travels across the world, appearing to become some kind of phenomena. It is formless, shapeless, the entity known as Tatari is usually seen as a gaseous being of black mist whereas the black mist that forms the core is actually malignant information made visible into a kind of energy. The physical form of the Tatari would be a figure with a hazy black appearance that would make it look like some kind of shadow and will take on a full defined appearance once it acquires the malignant information it needs. Of course it requires a physical form to anchor the manifestations across the populace which is why its being maintained by the core.

The Core of the Tatari, solely responsible for materializing manifestations, is an entity in a shape of a black ball as it takes on a four dimensional appearance and is mistaken as a black hole. 

He greatly enjoys slaughter and the ironically tragic deaths his manifestations are able to cause in some cases. He cruelly likes to mock people by exploiting their deepest flaws and fears before tearing them apart.

If the Tatari wishes to take form then it must cloth itself in rumors in order to do so. Malignant Information, rumors, myths, cultural legends or popular beliefs can be more than enough to materialize a manifestation. 

Malignant information can be extracted from a small populace with one common belief. An example of such would be “Under the Crimson moon, three children be born, one of them will devour the other two and become a vampire that will bring terror to everyone around it.” Realization of such belief as well as taking form of that belief will bring forth a drama favorable to the Tatari.

After having discovered a horrible future, he gaze witness to several wars that plunged all of humanity into chaos, the greatest fear for the Tatari in general is having to fade along with humanity for that as long as humanity stands, the Tatari will remain.

Prime's greatest fear... his greatest failure to achieving the answer to prevent the destruction of humanity, the desolation of the world through unnecessary wars as well as the 66th cornerstone being fulfilled that in which this case allows Tatari to bring chaos to the world and damaging all aspects of "communication" between intellectual beings.

An audience
“I’m a scriptwriter who orchestrates how a play is going to turn out. If the play is a success, the audience will forever tell tales of such display of art and therefore will beg for an encore.” ~ Prime

To find the answer
Though the Tatari maybe a living phenomenon that could spell doom for others, there was another reason why it gathers information. It’s actually possible to find such answer and believed it will one day sprout like a new plant that represents hope. 

The Nature of the Tatari itself
 There were many benefits that the Tatari has given him, immortality having been an existence not from a reality, having to hear all kinds of information and stories and much more. It can also benefit others who understand the concept of the Living Phenomenon itself.

Height: 180 cm

As the Tatari's physical form are usually manifestations change according to the rumors, the physical form of the Tatari would be a figure with a hazy black appearance that would make it look like some kind of shadow and will take on a full defined appearance once it acquires the malignant information it needs. Of course it requires a physical form to anchor the manifestations across the populace which is why its being maintained by the core.



The Core
The Core of the Tatari, solely responsible for materializing manifestations, is an entity in a shape of a black ball as it takes on a four dimensional appearance and is mistaken as a black hole. 


Manifestations of the Tatari

There are several kinds of manifestations of the Tatari:

The Doppelganger 
 The Doppelganger manisfestations of the Tatari take on the appearance of a specific person who’s famous among rumors or lies and goes around seeking individuals who learned of the rumor, heard of the rumor or started it but of course anything the Doppelganger sees will be targeted immediately. Becoming a popular person among rumors isn’t the only condition, another alternative is when someone has a strong feeling of “Belief” whether it maybe out of anger, fear or joy or any other emotion that goes into strongly believing that a person could “BE”.

The Memory 
This kind of manifestation only appears as people who are supposed to be “DEAD” and is still a popular social topic today.

Prime 
Prime can sometimes become any of the manifestations of the Tatari however defeating Prime as a manifestation doesn’t apply to the conditions of Prime completely dissipating into the Tatari as a “Memory”.  The only way one can tell Prime is wearing a manifested rumor is that the personified entity would have “Vampiric Impulses”. Prime can only be truly defeated under the Crimson Moon, nothing more and nothing less.

Personified
Otherwise known as a rumor that isn’t based on an individual, rather it can be an omen, a superstition or any kind of taboo. These were known as incomplete manifestations, that take form of a phantom like figure, created to eliminate individuals under the concept of those beliefs.

Static
These are not “Fully Matured” rumors that cannot acquire the potential of becoming a social trend to which they were just an idea that had only died down recently, whether it maybe a person or a curse, statics can either have a phantom life figure similar to Personified manifestations or a complete one with a defined appearance, they are the weakest manifestations that can easily be taken down by a skilled human. The only thing dangerous about Statics is that they can instill “Suggestion” increasing their target’s paranoia into believing in the manifestation. Once a static has been “Truly believed” they mature and become either one of the other manifestations.

The Prime (Before Tatari)

Before the Tatari came to be, there was once a man who’s genius was unparallel who aimed to discover the root behind being, who wishes for nothing more than greatness, a brilliant scholar among his peers. His name was ---------.   As a member of the ------ family,  ----- followed his family’s aim to contributing to humanity’s growth and enforced the Laplace Demon’s principle, turning the said theory into a method of prediction. In order for one to actually succeed making an accurate prediction of the future, one must have a powerful cognitive process to which they can easily calculate possible results and outcomes and weigh the terms of cause of effect. However, the practice was said to have died down due to a discovery that proved to be devastating even for him and his fellow practitioners. They can’t be wrong about their predictions and usually the results were accurate, given that they have predicted the great fire of London or the number of victims Jack the Ripper would claim in about a year. Heaven forbid them to be correct because…

They managed to predict a bleak future of humanity.

Motivated by their own fear, ----- and his group isolated themselves from society, formulating a number of ways, simulating scenarios and scaled thousands of variables, in hopes to find an alternative future to which the world would not end and that humanity would thrive as a dominant species. However no matter what variables they tried to add into their calculations, the results never change as the world they know would end at that point in time. 

All the practitioners of the Laplace Principle was driven to madness, becoming serial killers, made patients of an asylum and suffered psychological shock, thus the study and teachings of ----- died down and it was decided that humanity is not ready to learn the secrets of the Laplace principle because they wish to protect them from the truth; however it was pointless as it eventually happened. The first few cornerstones to the world’s end have already begun.

------ was the most devastated of them all but didn’t break down much like his students and followers, rather he covered all methods of predicting the future and that such knowledge should be lost and disappear with them…. Forever. However ---- was the only one who did not give up as he struggled to find a solution but there was only one obstacle that prevents him from doing so and that was the imminent death he must face as a human. He cannot die; he cannot rest not until he finds an alternative in order to save the world and the human race from destruction. During the 10^th cornerstone towards the destruction of humanity,  ------  became a vampire, bitten by another vampire who shared the same view as he did.  However the vampire who had bitten him had died, slain by a demon. Of course he had no intention of taking revenge for the fallen vampire as his research was more important than avenging the life of the vampire that granted him immortality. At one point in time, under the crimson moon, he came in contact with an oracle who predicted -----‘s fate, to which he, ------- --------- ------- would become the 13^th cornerstone that would lead to the ultimate destruction of the human race, filled with denial and anger, ------ killed the oracle where she sat and drank all her blood.

However something strange happened, for little does he know, the Oracle was one of the last descendants that followed the will of the Greek Goddess, Pheme.  To reveal the truth, to become the rumor that spreads like a disease, to become malignant information…

Concepts and rules written in ----‘s head, drove him to a deeper fit of madness, a truth that cannot be denied and a future set in stone, a beginning with an end predestined. It was a nightmare that he ----- will never wake up again. His body slowly turned to ashes, his form, his being dematerialized into an abstract concept, he became the phenomenon and the 13th cornerstone towards the end of the world. Formless, with no body, something that no longer has shape… cursed to wear and take on the form of humanity’s rumors and became known as the phenomenon known by many vampires today as… the Tatari.

However the concept of ------ isn't completely lost for that upon nights where the crimson moon would surface, he would return to his own form and should one eliminate him... they will bear the curse of Tatari as the defeated King of Lies will no longer exist as themselves but a submerged mass of information with no control over the sea... of Malignant Information.


Tatari: The Living Phenomenon
As the Tatari, he was a great oddity amongst vampires and is highly mistaken as a demon. In fact despite having no physical body of its own, Tatari can materialize and guise himself accordingly to the rumors whose sole function is to eliminate all those who knew of the rumor and the one who started it, whether human, demon or even vampire. Tatari was only classified as a vampire due to this principle as draining blood from other beings is a must for a vampire.

Tatari is a vampire of its own right and at the same time it isn’t for that even if the Prime were to be lost and killed, Tatari will continue on as a global curse and will continue to exist as long as there are intellectual beings discussing about rumors, lies, stories, fairytales, etc, its become a mission for the Tatari to materialize those rumors into a personified being that represents it. However there has been a prediction about the 66^th cornerstone that would lead to humanity’s destruction.

“Should the Tatari have no Prime… it will spread out violently towards several populated regions across the globe to which it shall destroy and damage the social perspective of “Communication” meaning there will be total distrust towards one another, misunderstandings and poorly perceived language, creating the start of complete and utter chaos. Hence there must always be… a Prime.”
