Hobo Eaters

The term Hobo-Eater refers to an entity who, through ritual technique, would take on by means garbage and liquor the sins of a deceased bum, thus absolving his or her soul and allowing that person of the street to rest in peace. What was once a ritual performed by beggars and vagabonds in certain villages of bygone gothic era is now performed in a reversal of roles by animated entities who take on the form of the hobo whose diabolical lifestyle is reflected upon the appearance of the Hobo-Eater. Often times hobo-eaters are not only filled with the sins and scars of the deceased but take on a ghostly appearance, ragged with the lines of deceit and chemical abuse of the former vessel. The result is a vaporous apparition whose tattered clothes and grungy aura is forever portrayed among the urban environment.
