Hello! I am new to the forums and to the CoD (played WoD a long time ago)
Ok, my problem is that i cant take a grip with the Makara family.
Anakins represent the fear of hopelessness, Namtaru represent the fear of revulsion, Ugallu represent the fear of exposure. They represent the result of the fear, someone that have stage panic can fit in the fear of exposure. In other words, they represent the felling that you have after facing a fear.
Eshmaki represent the fear of darkness, but what exactly is the fear of darkness? Well, to me is the fear of the unknown. Ok, supposing that this is true let's go to Makara.
Makara is the fear of the depths... Ok, so what exactly is the fear of the depths? Is the fear of unknown? Well, i said that Eshmaki handle this. It's the fear of "transgressing a point and knowing that you can't return? Well, this is hopelessness and to this we have the Anakin. So what i should expect from a Makara?
The point here is that with Anakins,Namtarus and Ugallus we have a pattern, they represent the repulsing felling of a fear, don't matter what this fear really is. What is repulsive to one people could be normal to another. But Makaras and Eshmakis represent a something more concrete and not the resulting felling, and can pull something from Eshmakis but with the Makaras i an having a hard time.
The concept of monsters from the ocean don't fit with the others families. You can have a a crepping Ugallu, a tiny Anakin and to me Jason it's a Eshmaki even if everyone sees him.
Well, my english is not good so i hope you understand my question. I want to understand the Makaras and the Eshmakis in the same way i understand the others.
