Goals: 1. Create an *avant garde*-style art piece, be it a flash mob, a recitation, or something weirder. 2. Inspire another artist to create something they wouldn't otherwise have made. 3. Get one of the Myriadic Councilors to propose an absurd resolution regarding the temple. You are Artisan Luceni, the "Painter Invisible." Like most Artisans, your life is spent in creative pursuits. Like most Halians, you value subtlety and indirection above all things. Combining the two has been the immensely satisfying work of your entire lifetime. You, more than any artist before you, disappear into your work. Whether it's arranging mobs of people to perform choreographed pieces, gently coaxing other artists to unknowingly work in your style, or crafting a situation such that any person who encounters it creates art purely by accident. Each case is different, and each case is special. There is more to you, though, than a self-obsessed scribbler. While most would assume your chosen medium (other people) comes from a desire for control, the opposite is true. You love your art, but what you love most about that art is what those other people bring to it. Collaboration is a complex and nuanced thing, but so many artists regard it as little more than the grown-up version of a group project. Your art seeks to challenge this, to show that the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. True, you often construct the work so that your involvement is obscured, but that's more a desire to avoid the limelight than any real preference for shadowy masterminding. You've come to the [[Council of Chains]] because there will be nine other Holdings, all or most of whom are likely to have artists of their own. You've never before seen artists from so many worlds, particularly so many noteworthy and famous worlds, gathered in a single place. Indeed, you've only even *heard* of it happening very rarely throughout history. You're here to ply your craft, to make your own, hard-to-spot mark on the galaxy, and collaborate with your peers in that way so particular to you. ## Asset: [[Love's Labours Lost]] As an Artisan, you understand that not every creative or technological work can be created with the explicit permission of the powers that be. That's not to say you don't value a [[Governor|Governor's]] input, but you don't feel the need to rely on administrators to guide your work. You're the expert, after all, that's why you're here. You can lead an [[Endeavor]] without a Governor's direct involvement. ## Lien: [[Glamour-Drowned]] You cannot help but see the scintillating wonder in every raindrop, the infinite possibility of every acorn dreaming itself an oak. A sunrise on the ocean is enough to leave you senseless with awe for hours at a time, heedless of an approaching shark. You're willing to sacrifice nearly anything for your art, and hate being forced to compromise for little things like "survival." If you're ever forced to abandon a project, you become despondent and miserable.
