The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Shrug It Off. You Have Work To Do.
Death is but a heartbeat away. It would love to claim you.
You can't escape that easily, Jacob.
Christ himself was nailed to the cross. He was left hanging there for days. He was speared. He died.
And yet, he fulfilled his duty.

You will finish what you started.
And you will only die when we let you, Jacob.

That didn't hurt
You hit like a girl!
After years of self harm, Bob barely even notices the pain enough to be effected by it. Instead he takes pleasure in the fact that people can finally release their aggressions, especially at his expense.

Live in Misery
Pain and stress could no longer harm her, not when she already lives in misery
Watching Dawn shrug off critical blows and mental trauma may seem strange from an outside perspective, but those her know her may understand how she can. For Dawn, she's already living through hell. How could anything possibly affect her when she already lives in constant suffering.
Dawn's own self-perceived misery has now manifested into a mental block allowing her to believe that any injury dealt to her is nothing compared to what she's already gone through. While her life may actually one the brighter and positive side all things considered, its her own belief that allows this to work.
You gain the following benefits at all times.

Endure
Keep moving, Kayleigh. Don't let them win.
While wearing the mask over her face, the Kitsune blocks out all internal distractions and focuses her attention to the task at hand.
As much as she wants to be strong enough to protect her friends, Kayleigh is weak. She's fragile and breaks easily if she's not at top form, the cracks going down to her very soul.
Her strength doesn't just have to come from inside, however. Once her soul has cracked, strength can suffuse her from a more otherworldly source.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using a mask to gain the benefits of this Effect.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.
Unyielding Bones
"When the flesh fails, the bones endure."
In battle, the skeleton endures strikes with unnatural resilience, its bones hardening against blows. Weapons glance off with a dull, stone-like impact, and each hit is met with a dry, creaking sound, as if the grave itself refuses to break it.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
