Given the Bulwark as context, if the Brainer wasn't called a Brainer but a Heart Eater then +weird wasn't called +weird but ... ?

+horror (horrifying)
+dark
+corrupted
?

Hard to say without more context. Like, do they literally eat hearts?

No more than Brainers would eat brains.

I think I might stick with +weird. I think +hunger as a stat is wicked hot but I'm not sure it works in just the right way (cause the other playbooks will get it too.) Things like +dark + corruption +horror circle around what I'm trying to get at but can't quite put a finger on.

Everyone always picks the the Violation Glove. This stat is a measure of how quick you are to use it.

Then "weird"  sounds too passive to me...

Lemme just throw some more words at you, if that helps:
ravenous, defiling/defiled, infectious/infected, stained, blemished, warped, covetous, maculating/maculate, rot, devouring, ruinous...

Heh, I've got two games in the works now that use Ruin as a concept. It's a darling of mine.
(one of the two games is a gritty (sur)realist fantasypunk - we seem to be operating on similar wavelenghts)
