The Tall One (Red Text)

This part is dangerous. WAY dangerous. quite possibly the most dangerous information i'll ever post on this manual. Der Ritter is one of the most vicious, least-likely-to-give-up-on-tearing-you-to-pieces motherfucker on earth.

I'd rather be chased by a goddamn Shoggoth than the tall one. I'm just lucky he hasn't locked onto me yet. The more you know about Him, the more you fear Him. and the more you fear Him, the more interested He is in you.

And i'm pretty fucking terrified of Him.

But let's get on with it.

The Tall One

Everyone knows what he looks like. Tall. Unnaturally so, like 9 or 10 feet, with a dapper black suit, red tie, and blank, blurry head, featureless.

He can extend his arms as long as he wants, and he has an unknown amount of tentacles that he can extend and retract at will. He can walk on the (Like Doc Oc in Spiderman) and impale his prey easy as fuck, like huge hypodermic needles.

I believe that he's Extraplanar. from another dimension. As such, i believe he moves in an extra dimension than us. Being 4 dimensional instead of 3 like us, he can teleport (an act dubbed "slenderwalking" by Runners.)

Runners

The prey. This is the name that is given to those that run from Him.

Often insane, they blabber in code. Go to The Tutorial by M. www.getuphigh.blogspot.com

he's lived longer than many i've had contact with.

If you're reading M, good luck brother. You're the man.

Powers

I've mentioned slenderwalking.

He has an adverse effect on technology. Cameras and Ipods fizz out and static, Tvs go into snow, and computer files and hard drives get corrupted. This can be a problem, but also a warning sign.

Listen to music. have earbuds in, or have a portable speaker system. When it starts fizzing, move faster.

He also has a kind of aura of insanity and fear. When He's near, the human psyche goes haywire.

Think of Marble Hornets, when they caught the Proxy (more on that next) in the abandoned house. They had him tied up, helpless, and yet the dude smashed its leg with a chunk of concrete. That wasn't needed, and yet the pure terror of the situation, the aura of the creature, caused an insane moment.

Stay in control.

Proxies

People under His control. They act as his eyes, ears, hands, and sometimes even voice.

Often masked, they carry out His will, antagonizing His prey, i don't know...picking up his fucking groceries, they are just as unknowable and evil as he is. Beware.

Weaknesses

• The operator symbol (x). It's a circle with an x through it. It's like an eye. with enough of them (and if they're big enough) they keep an eye on Him, keeping him from Slenderwalking.
• Observation. His teleportation is kept locked from him if you're looking at him.

Survival Tips

• Keep on the move. He can't get you if you're not there.
• Keep you're eyes open. If you're staring at Him, he can't slenderwalk.
• Don't think about him. you're thoughts (and fear) give him power. the more you obsess, the more he targets you.

That's all you can do. Weapons can't harm him, people can't harm him, magick can't harm him. He is unknowable and evil and hungry.

Good luck. You know more about him now. He'll be coming 'round the mountain now.

And that's the truth.
