Manfred Gnädinger’s Loincloth

Origin
Manfred Gnädinger was a.k.a. Man or O Alemán was a German hermit and sculptor who lived in the village of Camelle, on the Costa da Morte, in Galicia (Spain). He lived a very simple and natural life, building sculptures on the beach where he lived and tending to his small garden. In November 2002, when the oil spill of the Prestige destroyed his sculptures and the ecosystem of the area he lived in, it is thought that Man let himself die of melancholy and sadness, thus becoming a symbol of the destruction unleashed by the oil spill.

Effects
The user will desire to live as simple a life as possible, one only focused on the pleasure of existence. They will reject most of modern society in favor of living connected with the natural world. During their free time, they will mostly construct sculptures, tend to gardens and make friendly visits with nearby visitors. If their peaceful lifestyle is harmed in any way, they will spiral into self-pity and sadness. Without being supported by another person, they will loose the will to live and slowly become more susceptible to disease and injury. Being left in total isolation can even result in death from overwhelming despair.
