I don't know. I see the first Mother coming back as
the Wicked Stepmother, targetting motherless ('scuse
that) children and supplanting their presence with her
own. Like a cuckoo. The father is held in some sort of
zombie-dazed, pussy-whipped thrall and is unable to
stop her.
The Cannibal would be a variant of the Terrifying
Stalker sort of archetype, as would Ghoull and Ogre.
Mind you Ogre could be the male version of the Wicked
Stepmother.
The Fool, Clown, Trickster and Harlequin actually
could all exist in some sort of personalised Archetype
arena, the Commedie d'Arte. The Commedie fulfills a
group/social archetype (?)
I have already used Parasitic Avatars. They are
ex-Renunciates that wish to regain their ols positions
by channeling their usurped archetype-throne.
The Sinister Old Man was the Parasitic Avatar of the
Fool, and he is sort of The Hanged Man/Wandering Odin
type. He had variants of the old Fool channels, but if
a Fool Avatar was deemed unfit for channeling, the
Sinister Old Man offered channeling at half the
original ex-Avatar's Avatar Skill.
Cheers,
Chris.
