Father Figure is a 2018 urban fantasy/horror novel by Andrew William Clark.17-year old Joachin Basner has just started his final year in a new high-school in an unsavoury neighborhood, and is relentlessly bullied. That is, until Valerie Rogue and her brother Richard step in and decisively put an end to that.Joachin is elated to finally have found friends, and completely smitten with Valerie. He barely hesitates to take Richard up on his offer of leaving his aimless life behind and running away with the siblings to find "paradise". However, there is one condition to this offer: Joachin must kill Valerie and Richard’s abusive father.Plagued by doubt but galvanized by his personal issues with his father and his feelings for Valerie, Joachin ultimately decides to go ahead with the assassination. The subsequent encounter leaves the man’s fate unclear and Joachin doubting his choice more than ever before. Nevertheless, Joachin tells Richard the deed is done.The three skip town as planned, clandestinely hopping aboard a mysteriously empty passenger train, which carries them to the equally empty yet pristine town of Mill River. It soon becomes clear that they are trapped in Mill River, and that something is very wrong with the place. Though Richard believes that this must be the paradise they had been seeking all along, the three soon find themselves fighting for their lives and, more importantly, their sanity… | |

| Father Figure / int_105d50b1 | comment |
Psychological Torment Zone: Exhibit Hall B of the Mill River Historical Museum. It taps into Joachin and Valerie's guilt in order to manifest apparitions that torment and ultimately try to kill the two of them. The evidence room at the police station may also qualify. | |

Noodle Incident: When Richard (in Athis’ body) tries to prove to Valerie that he really is her brother, he refers to… something he and Valerie did when they were younger. Exactly what happened is never revealed, but said incident is apparently very embarrassing, and Richard even quips that he may have to kill Joachin after he’s heard that. | |

Powers via Possession | |

Powers via Possession: Lurks "imprint" onto their host (and vice-versa), transferring some of their powers in the process. This is how Joachin becomes adept with the sword, how Valerie starts remembering her past life, and how Richard still has the power of Atheiyhius even after Athis is freed from his possession. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with in Valerie and Richard’s case. Initially it seems like Richard is the responsible, level-headed one, with Valerie constantly getting in trouble at school, and having to be bailed out by her brother. Inverted when Richard’s real, homicidal motives are revealed, while Valerie mainly tagged along to keep watching over her little brother. | |

Sanity Slippage: All of the protagonists suffer from this to some extent. Joachin exhibits signs from the moment he agrees to assassinate Richard and Valerie's father, and Valerie gets it pretty bad after Richard’s (apparent) death. Richard seems the most levelheaded of the group, but it is eventually revealed that he’d gone down the deep end before the story had even begun. | |

Surreal Horror | |
| Father Figure / int_72d31973 | comment |
Surreal Horror: Joachin's return trip to the police station, where he converses with (what is assumed to be) a demented Lurk on the phone, gets a key faxed to him, and sees his reflection kill itself in a mirror. Though that last event is later hinted to be Joachin having split off part of his soul, exactly what the hell was going on in that station is never fully explained. | |

Fighter, Mage, Thief | |
| Father Figure / int_edae412c | comment |
Fighter, Mage, Thief: Joachin, Richard and Valerie. Valerie and Richard fit the Fighter and Mage archetypes, respectively, while Joachin sort of defaults to the Thief but ultimately becomes more of a Mage. Leonard ends up filling Richard’s spot during the final chapters. | |
