## Profile You were probably a person, once. You can remember (all too vaguely) those feelings of discomfort and loss, that strange uncertainty that goes hand in hand with mortality. You've left all of that behind, thankfully, replaced with something altogether stranger. You *suspect* it has something to do with that night you slipped into [[Conventions/PAX Unplugged/PAX 2024/Danced With the Devil/The Caelum Family/C Caelum|C Caelum's]] office and opened up a book, the one they had told you to never *ever* touch under any circumstances. Whatever it is that came out of that book, it got rid of all the strange, complicated 'person-ness' and let in something else. Whatever it was, you can't see what the big deal is, given the benefits. You wield the kind of power that your family has only dreamed of, working wonders with your words and glamour. You can weave enchantments of spiderwebs and curses from intrusive thoughts. So far as you are concerned, you are the culmination of hundreds of years of work, the true scion of the Caelum family. ## Ambition All of this is the reason that you have been chosen to wield the ritual that your family has worked towards for its entire existence. When you speak the words and dissolve the Karma you have collected into something far more raw and powerful, you will be able to twist a hole into the realm of the Fae, and pull the entire world along with you. Considering the nature of the Casino and your competition, you've been considering some small modifications to the rite - something to give your family an edge *after* the ritual is performed, before its final effects take hold. You aren't certain how it will manifest, but you're pretty sure that it will give you a chance to prevent other societies from succeeding on *their* rituals. That is, as long as you do yours early enough... ## Claim You've moved beyond simple emotions - you tend to be feeling a complex superposition of feelings and experiences all at once - but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them in others. Borrowing the emotions of simpler beings is how you power most of your greatest enchantments, after all. **Any time a player laughs at you, you may claim a Karma from them.** ## Wyrd You have managed to achieve the kind of singlemindedness that a mere human could only dream of. This perfect focus is the key to the subtle wielding of your power; unfortunately, it can leave you vulnerable to overwhelming stimuli at times. **Any time a player near you makes a loud noise (shouting, cheering, etc), you must award them a Karma.**
