Application with a cultist(?) warlock. [hider=--Luna, The Heretic--] [center] [color=Silver] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dppb4y9.png[/img] [color=DeepSkyBlue][h1][b][u]Luna[/u][/b][/h1] [h2][i]The Heretic[/i][/h2][/color] [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]Character Archetype[/b][/color] Spellcaster (warlock) [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]Personality[/b][/color] The heretic is haunted by their lost faith, and seek to reclaim it, whatever it might be. A higher power calls them, and the Heretic is bound to it despite not knowing its name. They are as a result spiritual and superstitious but also not very pushy about the faith of others. A person who does not know their own faith should not question that of others after all. She has a great deal of curiosity and is more than willing to meddle with things she doesn't understand. When presented with mysteries or new information she will attempt to learn just about anything on the odd chance it comes in useful or give some insight into her faith. Luna is also inquisitive/nosy when it comes to others, easily distracted, and has a tendency to mutter to herself without realizing she is speaking her thoughts out loud. She has a scholarly disposition, and will try to record new information physically if she can, partly for re-use higher up the spire, partly in a fruitless attempt to leave herself documentation for future runs. She tries to keep others at arm's length, though she is unlikely to succeed. Along with the summit, she also seeks the god of the cult, wishing to discern if it is her master that is simply testing her, or if it is a false idol. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]Blessings[/b][/color] The Stars will aid in her escape: A higher power has blessed the Heritic with arcane abilities. She has, of course, forgotten how to use most of them, but yet more are either locked away or are yet to be granted by her nameless benefactors, who may give new knowledge or power should the be pleased in some manner. Eldritch Electricity: The heretic has the power to produce electricity from her talon like gauntlets. At the moment she can only use this ability to electrify her punches and scratches. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]Curses[/b][/color] Foe of the Cult: “This one has been branded a heretic by the cult of the awakened one, who will stop at nothing to bring their end.” Did she make a minor slip up in doctrine? Did she balk when the time came to sacrifice someone she cared about? Did she become disillusioned with the cult and abandon it willingly? Was she never part of the cult and simply wore the wrong clothes the day she entered the spire? Did she see a truer, higher calling than the cult, and proclaim the awakened one a false idol? Did she have personal enemies who had her branded for selfish reasons? Luna doesn't know why she was branded a heretic, and the cultists aren't interested in explaining why they despise her as they are too busy trying to kill her for her heresy. Indeed the cultists will stop at nothing to end her life, being driven to higher fervor when fighting her and ignoring other targets in favor of attempting to gain the honor of personally slaying the heretic or, better yet, capturing her so she can be offered up as a sacrifice. Forgotten Pact: All the Heretics supernatural power is drawn from a source that is not their own, and that source can be fickle in strange and inhuman ways, granting or withholding power based on criteria the Heretic has long since forgotten. [color=DeepSkyBlue][b]Relics[/b][/color] [url=https://i.imgur.com/4EBQjvc.jpg]Lunar Pendant[/url]: A crescent moon of silver surrounding a sapphire hanging from a chain around the Heretic's neck. On the reverse side are words in an unknown tongue, with the only one recognisable/pronounceable one being the word Luna, from which the Heretic has taken her name. It longs to bathe in the light of its true self high above at the top of the spire. To do so it draws the Heretic ever higher, guiding them ever upwards, allowing Luna to divine a way she should take to reach the top. Unfortunately the pendant’s method of discerning which route is the best seems like it is running on moon logic, rarely giving the fastest, safest or most profitable route to the summit, at least in the eyes of mortals. Still, a route it gives nonetheless and the Heritic has often followed it without question in her past runs. The way it works is when confronted with the choice of what way to go to try and reach the top of the spire the Luna may be shown a vision of her own future down that road, one which includes on top of sight all the physical sensations of what she would feel, hear, smell, and taste, down that path. This is a sensory bombardment done in rapid fire which leaves much of the specifics unclear, though certain key actions or events that lead to the best outcome, at least in the pendant’s multitude of eyes, will be highlighted or simply stick in the Heretic's mind after the vision subsides. The pendant also only guarantees Luna’s own safety, and seems blind too (or more likely disinterested in) the fate of her traveling companions. It is the best path for Luna. Whether anyone else makes it seems to be considered irrelevant.
