And I Must Scream/Tabletop Games: Difference between revisions

*** Any Daemon Weapon or a bound Daemon results in this on a [[Eldrich Abomination]]. The daemon is so crazy that he will attempt to devour it's wielder just so it can get some sort of outside contact, even though such an act would result in the weapon being rendered inert again.

** It's not emphasised, but the Emperor himself might be an example of this trope. Reduced to a shattered husk, kept on life support for 10,000 years, unable to move or communicate yet according to dogma still conscious, while the unified humanity he worked to build falls into dystopian ruin around him. A quote about the 40k universe sums it up:

*** It gets more into it when you realise that everything he aspired to accomplish (abolishment of religion and the destruction of Chaos altogether) is being defiled and torn down. ''In his name''. On top of that, the supposed preachers of his word are also the ones possibly conspiring to keep him in the vegetative state, as they're all paranoid and believe that if he is allowed to die and reincarnate, he'll be gone forever and the Imperium will plunge into darkness forever (Inquisitor Lord Karamazov was famous for executing one of the supposed "reincarnations" of the Emperor, much to the chagrin of his collegues).

*** According to the ''Inquisition War'' trilogy, he actually ''is'' still conscious and aware of his status on life-support, and still somewhat capable of psychic communication to anyone in his closest vicinity and freezing time to that person if he so wishes. It is heavily implied, however, that he cannot focus too much attention to communicating with anyone who he is talking with, or he'd not be able to handle the most vital parts of the Imperium, such as the Astronomicron.
