Daniel Erdesh

Daniel aimlessly shuffled through the halls of the hospital, eyes darting back and forth before staring off into the distance, his face locked into a blank expression. Inside the patients head thoughts darted around in a chaotic maelstorm and Daniel didn't know whether he preferred this or the numbness offered by the medication. Daniel stood still and tried to make sense of the chaos inside. He could feel shocks coursing throughout his body and the walls seemed to be fuzzy almost like TV-static, sometimes he could make out brief messages on the walls ~SHHHHH~ one of the walls said.

He began to notice some of the other people in the hospital but he couldn't quite make out what they were saying inside, he could only hear what they were speaking outside. He heard one word in particular 'schizo' They said he was schizophrenic back at the old hospital, The old Hospital was nicer with friendlier Thoughts being projected within. Perhaps Daniel thought, that He had somehow made the hospital upset, was it the same hospital but now in a foul mood?

Daniel turned his head briefly to Asher. Daniels aura would probably be pretty weird given his condition.

@Midnight Howl
Name: Daniel Erdesh
Nickname: Bodhisattva
Age: 21
Looks:
Personality: The Bodhisattva has slightly different personality depending on if he is on anti-psychotic drugs or not, when not on Anti-Psychotic drugs the Bodhisattva rarely speaks and often spends his time in a meditative state, He seems to care for other people but tends to just creep them out instead, he bears no hatred for the people imprisoning him. When on his medication he behaves more "human" he tends to eat more but is a little sluggish, his speech is slurred. He often feels miserable when on his medication.

“Psychiatric” condition: Catatonic Schizophrenia

Actual 'Gifts': Ego disruption field: Those who gaze upon Bodhisattva experience anomalies in thought not too different from the kind experienced in schizophrenia, thoughts appear outside the mind or coming from external sources, this also somehow enables telepathy which is often troubling for those who are not used to hear voices in the head/see writing on the walls. Anti-Psychotic meditation can reduce this powers effectiveness. with concentration, He can focus on specific people to deliver them specific telepathic messages. As a weakness Daniel does not exactly control this power, and sometimes thoughts that he projects are secrets that are best kept inside the mind.
ESP: While not on anti-psychotics, the Bodhisattva is capable of gleaming information from his environment not understood by science, how this works is completely unknown but The Bodhisattva claims to be communing with the universe. As a weakness, this power is often very distracting, much of the information gained is pretty useless to most situations.
Both of the powers have the weakness of making it difficult for Daniel to relate to normal human beings, he experiences the world in a profoundly different way.

History: It started in high-school after his mother died, Daniel started getting distracted in school, he would just stare off into the distance, His friends started getting worried. He stopped hanging out with people and instead isolated himself to his room, he made it through school and started college but eventually just stopped going. A few months later he was reported missing, the police checked his house and found him nearly dead with starvation just standing on his bed. He was put into an institution with Catatonic schizophrenia...eventually the doctors noticed something odd about him and the asylum fell into chaos, Daniel isnt sure what happened. He was moved to a new facility.

<Snipped quote by Lucidnonsense>

If the Spirit is passive, Light. If it's aggressive, Dark.


Cool Cool, Now I just have to decide between

A spirit of light that allows people to meditate, and can clear negative emotions (though is that more an active power?) And seeks knowledge above all else.

Or a spirit of darkness consumed by paranoia, with powers that rather than involving physical darkness, involve mental darkness, Confusion, deception. unfortunately its powers also apply to itself and it has no idea who it is working for. Its a sleeper agent for someone (or perhaps multiple people, or perhaps it actually isnt a sleeper agent.) It also plots against itself as it believes itself to be under the control of some evil being. It does not know it is plotting against itself as it encrypts its thoughts.

I think I am interested in joining just have to find a good picture for my character.
What kind of element would a mental focused spirit be? or would that not be allowed.
CS OUTLINE:
Picture:
Name: Erylsi Levette
Age: 56
skill:
Occult Knowledge: Decades of study of arcane tomes has given her understanding of the eldritch forces governing the universe, She performs bizarre rituals to accomplish goals, many of which are unfathomable to the average person or even most rulers.
Respect of the Covenant: her gentle but firm rule over the Covenant has earned the trust of many of her fellow Witches and wizards, most of the covenant is very loyal to her.

Village size:One of the smaller regions
Village population ratio:
Knights of the Covenant:5% (offensive warriors)
Guardians:10% (defensive warriors)
Warlocks*:5% (pyromancers)
Witches*:15% (Cleric)
Hunters:5%
Farmers:20%
Miners:5%
Hearthspeople (maidens):20
Children:15

Ruling style: Erylsi is the Overseer of the Covenant of 7 eyes, the ruling government of the village, The Covenant is composed of the Warlocks and Witches. The villagers respect and revere the wisdom of the Covenant and supply them with food and supplies in return for the services of the witches and the protection of the warlocks and guardians. Failure to meet the demands of such Cunning folk tends to carry misfortune. The covenant is controlled by the Council of 7 eyes, Currently The Council Consists of
Erylsi, the leader of the council
General Ghandrik
Helga "The Hag" an elder witch
The Archivist: a lorekeeper, woe to those who incur the wrath of the archivist
Nelvin The Fool: A cunning warlock, acts like a fool but hides hidden wisdom
Daniel: A representative of the common folk, he still has some magical training
Yzalkabtoth: Some younger Witches question the existence of Yzalkabtoth, and thus believe that he? she? is a poor choice for a member of the Council, Most of the council believes that Yzalkabtoth exists in some form and can be contacted with the proper rituals and study. a replacement is planned, something that Yzalkabtoth apparently agrees to, according to the archivist, who seems to be the most convinced of Yzalkabtoths reality

Personality: Erylsi is, like most in the covenant, a little eccentric and aloof, more interested in the study of philosophy, magic, and the subtleties of fate rather than the art of war and conquest. Regardless, she believes a unified empire will allow the Covenant to expand, with more Witches and Warlocks the study of magic will be accelerated.
Something interesting: The Covenant of 7 eyes have studied the arcane arts for a long time and have developed specialized magic users.The Witches lack the battlefield healing ability but have the ability to cast charms on a few soldiers before a battle, charmed soldiers are "lucky" To an extent not explainable by luck alone, Strikes land with precision and attacks against them have difficulty hitting, unfortunately due to the time and concentration required to cast this spell, only a few soldiers usually have charms in each battle. The Warlocks are trained to use hexes in combat, rather than hurling fire around, Warlocks hurl around Hexes which confuse, bewitch and demoralize enemies. just as pyromancers have some healing equipment, warlocks have a few hexes which can help out allies, inspiring confidence and focus for about a few minutes.

*Warlock and Witch are used as a gender neutral term, a female can be a warlock and a male can be a witch)
@Lucidnonsense Possibly... How so?


Alright so rather than having directly offensive Pyromancers they have more enigmatic Warlocks, rather than hurl fireballs they use more subtle hexes, A Warlock hex may confuse an enemy or make them trip up.

Witches replace clerics, they are less capable in direct combat, lacking "quick" healing, instead they stay back and before battle charm the allied soldiers, Charmed soldiers are harder to kill and tend to have greater luck. The process of Charming takes enough time that only some soldiers in each battle are charmed. The witches can also do healing magic but these take hours and concentration.

Basically more "subtle" but versatile magic, I was planning on having my village ruled by a Witch/Warlock coven
What would Philosophers and stuff fall under? cleric? for My "something interesting" can I have fairly versatile clerics who, while having less direct healing powers have ability to influence the battlefield in strange ways.
I am interested in this
