Still working on my draft, but I've only now just realised how similar some parts of my concepts were to [@YummyYummy], I might need to go back and change some things. Also, names are hard.

When he was 17 however, ### got into a traffic accident and from there, things went downhill pretty quickly. While the injuries themselves weren’t anything that he wasn’t able to recover from, it certainly didn’t help with the rough patch his family was going through financially, and worse still, proceeding the event ### gradually began to hear whispers, ones that seemed to grow in variety and intensity as time went on. [color=2E2C2C]"Plë̸͕a̵͕̾se sto̶͘ͅṕ̸͚, it'̵̞̓s em̷̞̔b̸̛̰arr̷̽͜aṡ̸̢s̵̡̃ing wĥ̶̥e̵̡͝n yȏ̴̫ṳ̶͒ tal̷̩̎k̷͇̑ ab̶̠̐o̷̜̚ut ̴̹̃us̴̥͂!̸̣̃"[/color] Not wanting to further burden his family, ### had kept quiet about his problem. He found he could, at least a first, ignore the voices if he tried hard enough. It was hard at times to ignore some of the nastier comments the voices made, especially as they grew more numerous, but ### figured that it would have to stop getting worse eventually and when that happened, he could simply learn to live with it. [color=2E2C2C]"He̶̯̋h̴̖́e" "Gö̷̻o̸͉͗d i̴̞͐d̵̡̾ea tḫ̴̉a̷̜̓t.̷̜̀"[/color] When the voices started telling him things that he himself didn’t already know ### responded with denial, reasoning away any possibility of the supernatural. Knowing things about people he shouldn’t? Must have overheard someone gossiping. Knowledge of events halfway around the world? Probably heard it on TV. Things he was certain he hadn’t learned anywhere? It was probably like deja vu and his brain was simply drawing connections that didn’t actually exist. ### likes to tell people that it wasn’t until the day he said he’d believe it if he were given the winning lotto numbers and he actually was, that he began to believe that there might be something more to the voices than simple head trauma. [color=2E2C2C]"N̷̡̈ō̷͔thiň̴̻' t̵̼͘o̶͔̕ sȩ̴̎e he̴̪̊r̷͉̕e..̴̒ͅ."[/color] Things moved quickly after he realised that he could just speak to the voices and for the most part they seemed eager to talk, especially if that entailed ### asking them questions, though some answers were seemingly off-limits. He had a plan now, he’d finish off his schooling with flying colours and move on to pursue higher education, making a tonne of money on the side while did so, he certainly wouldn’t be a burden if he could pull that off, and with the voices doing so would be trivial. [color=2E2C2C]"Is̸̳̐ t̸͎̉hat leg̷͍͂ã̴͍l?" "Sh̷̘͆u̴̟͛t up, w̷̥̏e go̸̼̿n̸̡̋na b̴̻̑e lo̷̯̿a̸̹͐ded̵̥̾!"[/color] ### plan at first went off without a hitch, and though those close to him noticed a gradual change in his personality as he became more reliant on the voices for guidance, becoming more erratic and distractible as he went along, no one really wanted to comment on it. While he’d been good at academics before, now he was actively thriving. It wasn’t until he’d finished with secondary education that his occupants decided they were done with the waiting game and things took a turn for the worse. [color=2E2C2C]""[/color] What happened next isn’t exactly something that ### is willing to talk about and the specifics have been kept pretty much confidential by the agency. What is know is that ### asked his aspect too many questions in a short period of time and without knowledge of what price to doing so was and that as a result ### ended up causing quite a bit of damage before the agency was able to detain him. In the almost two years since then the growth of his aspect has slowed down significantly and while he’s had very limited success thus far with resisting the drawbacks to his aspect, he has picked up a couple of tricks to prevent himself from going too far.[/hider][hider=Relationships] [/hider] [h3][color=a187be]Class Details:[/color][/h3][hider=Aspect][b][color=a187be]Myriad of Voices:[/color][/b] ###’s mind is inhabited by a multitude of voices in various states of insanity and disrepair ranging from psychopathy to addiction to raving lunacy. The voices have concrete personalities, at least as much as their insanity will allow for, and often speak in ways that would suggest histories outside of ###’s head, but even then their stories are riddled with enough holes, contradictions and downright impossibilities, to make it doubtful as to whether anything they are saying is true. It doesn’t help that the voices universally refuse to answer questions as to their nature. [color=2E2C2C]""[/color] It isn’t exactly clear exactly how many voices there are living in ###’s head, save for the fact that it is an incredibly large number and occasionally new voices will manifest seemingly out of the blue. The number of voices actually active at any given time is far lower, varying from half a dozen or so to an overwhelming amount, dependent on how interesting things are outside for the voices. [hider=Multitasking][b]Multitasking:[/b] A side effect of his aspect, ### is able to focus on multiple things at once as long as he concentrates. Notably, it is incredibly easy for ### to keep track of a large number of conversations at once, though with some difficulty he is able to direct this multitasking ability in other directions.[/hider][color=2E2C2C]"w̴̝̕E kN̴͔̏Ȯ̸͔W y̷̺̍OU̵͙͠ cÄ̸̡́N hE̴̛̘Ä̷̡́R u̵͖̽S?!̴̙̑A"[/color] [hider=Limited Omniscience] [b]Limited Omniscience:[/b] While they probably aren’t actually omniscient the voices definitely know a hell of a lot more than they should be able too, collectively possessing a seemingly bottomless wealth of information both general and personal even when there should be no possible way for them to have learned something. [color=2E2C2C]""[/color] The voices are more than happy to answer ###’s questions, actively encouraging it in fact, and will generally answer him truthfully or at the very least make it very obvious when they aren’t. While this means ### technically has access to expert level knowledge on pretty much any subject including secrets or otherwise unknown information, accessing it doesn’t come without a cost. Each question he asks is paid in a loss of sanity depending on the scope of the question asked and while time will see his mind recover ### progressively becomes more easily influenced by the voices as he loses the plot and is completely in the moment how much he’s lost it. [color=2E2C2C]""[/color] While time will see his mind recover the traded sanity, ### progressively becomes more easily influenced by the voices as he loses the plot and cannot tell at any moment how much of his mind he retains.[/hider][color=2E2C2C]""[/color] [hider=Commentary] [b]Commentary:[/b] Unlike many specialists ### doesn’t have any enhanced senses of his own, save for an enhanced ability to process the chatter of the voices, however, having spent so long listening to the constant commentary on pretty much everything relates to himself, his surroundings or any major external events that draw the voices interest, ### has learned how to extrapolate the commentary into a useful if often, cryptic source of information as to what’s going on. [color=2E2C2C]""[/color] The exact amount of information ### can gain from this fluctuates depending on the stimulus, with the voices being far more willing to talk about some things than others and the amount of interest generated amongst the voices having an effect on just how many speak. Generally, at least the broad strokes of things are pretty easy to pick up on with more specific details being increasingly hard to pick up on unless ### starts asking questions.[/hider][color=2E2C2C]"4̷̢͆ Si̶̩̊mult̸͖͌ane̷̳͝o̵̜̕us Da̵̡̛y̶̜̐s Sā̸̡me̵̩̽ Ea̸̝̐r̸͖̍th Rot̵̙́a̵̢̛tion̸̤͌.̶̠͊"[/color] [hider=Psychic Protection] [b]Psychic Protection:[/b] The voices are highly possessive of ###’s mind, any attempts at mind-reading, telepathic communication or other connections are met with vicious hostility from the voices, resulting in the offending subjects being quickly shunted out, usually suffering from short term migraines and confusion. Other attempts at divination have also been known to occasionally show incorrect or downright nonsensical information where ### is involved.[/hider][/hider][color=2E2C2C]"W̴̬͆ẻ̶̳ don'̵̰̎t ṱ̷͝a̷͇͒ke to̴̼̾ō̴̟ k̶̰̒indļ̸̾y to ̸̩̍yo̴̧̿ur kin̴̙͒d̶̹͆ arouņ̵͝d̷̗̿ heṟ̸͝e̸͔̒."[/color] [h3][color=a187be]Other Notes:[/color][/h3] [/hider]
