The Regulators: Difference between revisions

In the town of Wentworth Ohio, an autistic boy named Seth has gained power to control the reality around him thanks to the machinations of the sinister Tak into a caricature of The [[Wild West]] based off the shows that Seth watches. Creatures from Seth's imagination begin to attack the town and the residents are forced to work together to stop Tak.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Gary Soderson.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]

* [[Bang Bang BANG]] - Gunshots are incredibly loud; a sound of a shotgun is described as the sound of "a detonating backpack missile". Justified, because the shooters are actually figments of Seth's imagination, made real by Tak.

* [[Body Horror]] - Less so than ''Desperation'' in which Tak's possession of the body would cause the host to expand and eventually fall apart; here, his possession of Seth is more of the psychic variety. That being said, Tak is unable to possess anyone else but Seth because their minds are too strong. When he tries, {{spoiler|their heads explode}}.

* [[Captain Ersatz]] - The characters of Seth's favorite cartoon ''MotoKops 2200'' are a take on the [[Power Rangers]].

* [[Mauve Shirt]] - A character is introduced and given a rather full backstory, such as the fact that she's on her way back from cheating on her husband, and how she realizes she's not wearing any underwear, ''while she's in the act of dying.''

* [[Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book]] - Seth draws pictures of the drive-by shooting in which his entire family was killed. The pictures are actually included in the text.

* [[The Rainman]] - Seth.

* [[Reality Warper]] - Tak.
