Goals: 1. Lead some kind of group expression, anything from chanting to dancing to public debate, in honor of the [[Leviathan's Corpse]]. 2. Hype up as many other artists as you can, while weaving your beliefs into that hype. 3. Find ways to influence the various Holdings toward swearing to the Leviathan's Corpse. You are Artisan Taurokeros, the "Ecstatic." That's not a bad name, in your opinion. It accurately reflects your zest for life, your love of art, and your sense of communion with the five light-hour-long monster from beyond the veil of space or time known to the galaxy at large as the [[Leviathan's Corpse]]. It works. There is more to you, though, than a wild-eyed worshiper of the galaxy's second-greatest monster. You believe in the truth of the Leviathan, the one thing that Her Majesty has ever truly failed to kill. The Leviathan was not crafted as a weapon, but as a protector. It was crafted to love its people and even now, after uncounted millions of years, it loves them still. Yes, you're aware that most Leviathan Cultists sacrifice entire planets to their lord and master, and that it grants them terrible and unholy power in reward, but you're also aware that's a perversion of its purpose. Empowering those who follow in its wake is not evil, even if it leads to evil ends. It's an expression of love. The Leviathan isn't truly a corpse, but it has been dealt a grievous wound, and if the galaxy has any one iron law, it's that hurt people hurt people. You've come to the [[Council of Chains]] in hopes that you might sway some of the other Holdings toward service of the Leviathan. Sure, they might point out all of the flaws in that plan, but so long as they remain loyal to the [[Celestial Empire]] and its [[Celestial Empress|Deathless Queen]], you'll have an incontrovertible answer: there's a reason they call the Leviathan's Corpse the galaxy's *second*-greatest monster. Regardless of the horrors laid at the feet of its altar, can anything She so hates and fears truly be evil? ## 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.
