BPG: Talassii Curse

[Heavy Arms]

I think given the nature of Beasts, they feed on the terror and suffering they cause, feeding their Hungers,,

Beasts feed on the shock of moments of negative emotional distress. The book is fairly direct about that being the central core of feeding your Horror. Fear and terror are means to an end (shock), not what Beasts actually feed from.

As to the Maeljin, if you want to draw parallels as BtP is a game that encourages crossover, the Lords of the Wounds align closer to Hungers rather than Families. Thurifuge doesn't care if you're a shadow stalker/murderer, oceanic predator, or raging giant. Thurifuge cares that you spread violence. And even then (esp, since there aren't currently an equal number of Hungers and Maeljin even as neither are officially listed exhaustively) they're not 1:1 fits by any means. A Collector could be motivated by greed, envy, or lust very easily.

Giving that beasts feed on fear why do Talassii see being assumed to be a rapist as a reputation to run away from.

Its mostly the OOC element. Beast already has a bad reputation, anything that remotely seems to be endorsing of THAT is going to cause people to self destruct. IC, that can be their MO but the emphasis here is on, vaguely, as Makara are to aquatic creatures, Talaasi are to things like sneks and spooder that imprison people. THAT would be a hunger format not a family. Probably.
