machiavillainCanonically, even without his ring, Sinestro's understanding and discernment of individuals' primal fears has been noted (presumably due to his close relationship with the fear entity Parallax and a natural inclination to acute observation). This discernment also extends to individuals capable of causing great fear in others.
Upon his arrival in the City, the Porter will be boosting this ability so that he will be able to read an individual's fear or if the individual is capable of causing great fear, even over the network. The more strongly fear emanates off of a person, the easier it will be to read. If an individual tends to bury their fears, he may only catch a glimmer, or if they are truly fearless, he will read nothing at all (but note that this is rare--even Green Lanterns, who are selected for their ability to overcome great fear, are susceptible to fear). He will not be able to do this if the person is communicating solely via text (voice or video is necessary), unless the communication is obviously frightened/threatening/etc and no one would need to channel a power to know that it is fear related. He will also not be able to do this without your ooc permission!

Fears: Death of the people he loves, losing people he loves, abandonment generally, dying, loss of his powers / being ordinary...does being afraid in itself count? Because he always reacts badly to it and refuses to acknowledge it.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: If he wants to! Julian would react hideously to that, but yes, by all means.
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Probably not.
Anything else?: I don't think so?

Fears: Canon wise Apollo's biggest fear is of Henry Bendix, the guy who made him into a meta-human and wiped his memory and then tried to kill him a couple of times. He has nightmares of him from time to time but generally tries to push all memories of him aside. Aside from that the only other fears he has involve his daughter Jenny. Average fears that most parents have.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Sure! It's difficult to get a rise out of Apollo so mentioning Bendix and/or Jenny would definitely catch him off guard.
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Only when he feels he needs to. This is usually directed towards villains.
Anything else?: Nothing I can think of.

Fears: Losing people he loves, failing to save the people he loves, failing to save people in general, powerlessness. Also an occasional smidgen of fear of letting his powers corrupt him, though it's not something he dwells on.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Suuuuure let's go for it!
Does the character cause great fear in others?: I'm not ... entirely sure how to answer this one. No, Spider-Man doesn't have a particular reputation for causing fear, but he does scare the bejeesus out of people on not infrequent occasions, including one incident where he literally scared someone to death (heart attack) and another where he trounced Doctor Octopus (generally considered one of the stone cold badasses of the Marvel supervillain set) so badly the guy was not only terrified of him but had arachnophobia for some time. So ... however you would scale that, I guess. He's not Batman, anyway!
Anything else?: Don't think so.

Fears: oh god okay this is a list. Biggest fear number one is himself and what he's capable of, and second is fucking invaders from alternate universes, followed up by failure, his deepest darkest secret coming out (heh), and rounded out by a fear that someone from home will eventually show up
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yes but Mitchell is likely to retroactively encrypt any conversations that mention things like that
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Not really? UH HE IS SUPPOSED TO THOUGH, but he's supposed to do a lot of things
Anything else?: Er, I don't think so? If any of my other characters get some cr with him, I'll fill this out for them! I am lazy

Fears: Being alone and unloved/unhated by everyone around him again is pretty much the only big one! Another one, though minor because it's so unlikely, would be permanently losing trollhood or his blood color, since it's the basis on which he's built his persona.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yep!
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Not at the moment (in the City at least); despite all the posturing, nobody except the few people who know what he's really capable of take his threats particularly seriously! Because, you know, kid. He's terrorized the Homestuck cast ever since he showed up though, and has a long and detailed history of demoralizing and tearing apart his FLARP opposition with shows of cruelty and fear-mongering. Also, orphaning.
I'm not sure whether the hopelessness end of his hope manipulation spectrum would count as fear-related or not, since it affects everybody differently; in a lot of people it tends to amplify general fears (failure, losing somebody or something important to the individual, ineffectiveness, meaninglessness) to a paralyzing degree. Whether or not it counts is up to you!
Anything else?: n/a

Fears: UH THINGS LIKE failing his people, leading to their destruction etc, also dehydration because it makes him lose his strength and then his mind
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Sure!
Does the character cause great fear in others?: YES he is pretty well known for having a hair trigger temper and all the strength (plus an army of super-strong blue people that doesn't hurt) in marvel, and here too I believe since he has spent the past several months bullying all the world's navies and fishing industries
Anything else?:
Character name: Midnighter
Journal:
Fears: more or less Bendix, but not like physically or anything, more a fear of losing control to him again? Also he fears something happening to his fambly, and he has a deep-seeded fear turning into what he was in various alternate futures (a dictator that stopped all the world's crimes and poverty and things, but basically robbed the entire population of free will in the process.)
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Sure~
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Ohh yeah. Intimidation is his go-to tactic, generally.
Anything else?:
Character name: Deadpool
Journal: [Unknown site tag]
Fears: BEING ALONE that is more or less the worst thing he can even imagine oh god. Having no one around to see him do badass things or laugh at his super hilarious jokes. Also: clowns. Clowns are the worst.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yes. B)
Does the character cause great fear in others?: YES? MAYBE? More extreme confusion and exasperation, but he is a pretty highly regarded merc!
Anything else?:
Character name: Captain Marvel my only DC!!
Journal:
Fears: being inadequate, being abandoned (again), being corrupted by his own power
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yep
Does the character cause great fear in others?: LOL NO the opposite he is the world's strongest woobie
Anything else?:
Character name: Xavin
Journal:
Fears: At this point, Skrulls, because she is pre much a traitor?? Also she fears rejection, detection, probably the Kree on some level...
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Sure
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Probably yes, by virtue of being a skrull in these fun times!!
Anything else?:
Character name: TERRY
Journal:
Fears: He's afraid of losing control of himself, mostly, which he does a lot.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: If he'd like!!
Does the character cause great fear in others?: YEP IT IS HIS shtick he has pretty much the same fear-sensing powers as Sinestro (except he needs to be actually there with them in person to use them), and then he can transform into exactly what that person is afraid of, even possessing the same memories and abilities.
Anything else?:

Fears: Losing his humanity- transformation into a vampire or a demon or something other than what the Major defines as his 'self.' This is more than a physical transformation; what the Major truly fears is losing his mind and soul.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yes.
Does the character cause great fear in others?: YES.
Anything else?: The Major is almost completely fearless when it comes to 'ordinary' fears- he fetishizes most forms of danger and violence even when they are directed at him, and he has an enormous death wish with no fear of his own demise. Losing his humanity is pretty much it for him.

Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Awww yeah.

Character name: Ghost
Journal:
Fears: tldr Ghost murdered some people who murdered his GF. That ugly grinning thing manifests fears--it makes Ghost's old zombied co-workers and GF show up.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Sure. c:
Does the character cause great fear in others?: YEAH KIND OF. Obvs his persona was built to inspire fear, and for a while he was an urban legend, and he's a terrorist. But fear is far from his raison d'etre and he's off the grid mostly these days.
Anything else?: ilu and that is all

Fears: Failing others and losing the people he loves are the two big ones, and they are pretty closely related.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yes!
Does the character cause great fear in others?: Absolutely. Jack uses fear like he uses most things: as a means to an end. When fear is called for to accomplish his objective, he is terrifying.
Anything else?: Jack is essentially fearless when it comes to peril to his own self. There isn't really any danger that will truly phase him, and he is willing to lay down his own life without much hesitation.

Fears: LOSS OF CONTROL, basically. Losing the rep he's carefully built up, not being able to gather data, if his plans fail, if his invasion fails (back before he got pulled in), and maybe just a bit of fear of Jaime Reyes. kid ruins all his carefully laid plans
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: Yes... Although if it'll ruin his cover talk to me first. I AM OKAY WITH HIDEOUSNESS fyi
Does the character cause great fear in others?: The Reach do! Negotiator does indirectly, except maybe with his minions... okay, I'm just gonna say "yes".
Anything else?: Pretty sure you read the Sinestro Corps war crossover issue? probably some pertinent info in there, yes HI
Character name: Monster (in the Darkness)
Journal:
Fears: He's afraid of the dark, but he can deal with it. Also scary monsters! Yes, irony, I know. But he's not particularly scared of a lot of things since he rolls with it. Basically: if it's funny. He's also scared of being alone, going hungry and of Xykon (his old boss, a skeleton in robes), a bit!
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: YUP
Does the character cause great fear in others?: "its as scary as a marshmallow" Whatever Monster's species is is supposed to be terrifying... he's just... not... in any way, shape or form.
Anything else?: he wishes he were scary :c
I will totally get to my other dudes later (and by that I mean I AM LAZY and IF THEY EVER GET CR asdfgh)

Fears: crossdressers. Having his manhood taken away from him. Being too weak to protect his crewmates. Mild fear of bugs.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: I would prefer he doesn't bring up the crossdresser/loss of manhood fear until/unless I have confirmation from Sanji's own canon whether or not he ever mentions what happened on Kamabakka Island to anyone else.
Does the character cause great fear in others?: great? naw. Only in people who generally freak the fuck out about notorious pirates.
Anything else?: He is remarkably able to put aside his fears and still fight and face death regardless. The only one that plagues him is the irrational crossdresser fear.
Character name: Alastair
Journal:
Fears: tanks, missiles, his own Oricalchos power, losing his family, hurting his family, losing his own soul again
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: sure, most of them are fairly public anyway
Does the character cause great fear in others?: I don't think so. Very few people are afraid of the Oricalchos, even.
Anything else?: he's a coward in general
Character name: Geddoe
Journal:
Fears: dying. True Lightning going out of control. That's it.
Can Sinestro publicly mention these fears?: sure, no one's called him on it before
Does the character cause great fear in others?: not really.
Anything else?: he is the closest thing to fearless there is by normal connotations of the word. His fear of death doesn't cause him to avoid situations where he may get himself killed, so I phrased it as "dying" to be more accurate. He still strides into battle without a care and risks his life easily, but he's afraid of growing old and being mortal and facing natural death.
