The Masque
Surgeon: Away! [2T]
Egotist: Attainment V (Yin) [9T, 9I]
Emissary: Attainment IV [8T, 3I]
Drawbacks: Leal I (Emissary), Steward's Bane, Far Delve II, To War (Arcanist's Dominion), Refine the Dross [2I, 4T]
Notable Attributes
- Manipulation: 43
- Wisdom: 25
More important than power is a mindset that lends itself to acquisition of further power. For those startling few, such might prove easy, their nature congruent with ascent. Will to endure aeons of torment, talent to be chosen by those on high, genius unsurpassed by the numberless worthies that name themselves Foremost.
For everyone else, there's psychosurgery.
[Gift: Away!] -> Ambition.
No longer the hacksaw butchery of the Surgeon, but the deft edge of sculptor's chisel, turned inward and wielded with sharp purpose. Carved by that is a mind that marries the qualities of Steward and Maker and Hero, for all that their flesh falters in comparison.
*Gain +++++++Manipulation, +++++++Wisdom.
*Gain supernatural compartmentalization, rationalization, self-delusion and holistic mental alteration skills, scaling in thoroughness and delicacy with Manipulation.
*The user is treated as always possessing the necessary Manipulation to conceal their precise nature from others. Neither their metaphysique, nor their Essence, nor Form itself will betray them.
*Beyond the ever churning surface lies the eternal calculation of the oversoul, which accounts for benefits and losses with heartless clarity, and is the ultimate arbiter of selfhood. In for the purpose of withstanding setbacks to its ultimate goals, this oversoul has the same effective Willpower of a ruhuk.
Crowned Halo -> The Warrens
From admiration for the unrelenting meliorism of the Emissary arises this civilization, a convocation of those that live in the cracks of the unmerciful realm. The Foremost see this as their own backyard, or perhaps a wilderness awaiting claim, but for the denizens of the lesser worlds consumed by the torus it is the abode of heedless titans, whose mere disregard proves to be a lethal threat to body and soul. Only the efforts of their unseen patron provide succor, as she walks among them and delivers new refugees to their doorstep day by day.
Avoidance is their watchword, living in tunnels of essence and bone carved from the form-flesh of the realm beyond. There, their primary activity is recruitment and rehabilitation of the sad magi and giants that have found themselves here. In time, perhaps even Accession may be attained, as their patron grows mightier, and they more numerous, and then they might live as, if not equals, then at least survivors of those Foremost to come.
It's not much, but it's home.
Uttermost -> Moonsilver
(Essence, Life, Limited Mind [Self], Limited Union [Self], -4 to Casting Stat. Casts with Manipulation.)
By which a book not just may, but must be judged by its cover. Reflect self-belief onto the world and forge from mere identity the stuff of true power. With effortful preparation, a user may replicate the powers others possess in all their particulars - the powers gained are catalyzed and operate as though the user truly possessed them, save for substituting Manipulation for the relevant casting stat.
Some portion of the preparation in question may be substituted for via assimilation of appropriate targets, though sufficiently potent or esoteric capabilities may require excessive preparation to replicate through this power alone.
- Singer: Musicality sublime. Songs of heartrending loveliness, capable of harmonizing with the dance of Axioms, predicting and potentially altering their course by manipulating the resonance of the world.
- Saintess: Radiance beyond measure. Become a being of light and form, a font of purity about the void that mends and makes whole all things in heaven and earth.
- Soldier: The bloodstained general, battered but unbroken. Gain a superlative intuition for all forms of conflict capable of radiating outward from you and into your subordinates, such that you march as a single, perfectly coordinated army.
- Survivalist: A will to life made flesh. The survivor is shorn of all lesser considerations, becoming a mass of protoplasmic, immortal cells capable of adapting rapidly and without surcease to all forms of harm.
- Simp: A face worn for the Emissary in pursuit of that everdistant dream - senpai, please notice me!
