Virsci, Sign of the Alchemist

A rare trait of their bloodcaste, Dythia is a rainbow drinker. This ability was only realized after they left the church and they are adamently afraid of it. They are terrified of becoming entirely dependent on consuming blood and losing control of their apetite. It was the burning thought that kept them awake at night; succumbing to animalistic instincts, losing themselves to basic urges. These thoughts are often accompanied by more compulsive ones. Dythia frequently has compulsive thoughts surrounding themes of loss of control and contamination. They worry about things like food or they themselves have become contaminated by bodily fluids or by germs and disease, which is why blood itself can bring Dythia a lot of anxiety. They smoke to curb those appetites.

The Seer of Life is an observer of life itself, from a single cell to the ecosystems made of it. Life is a complicated thing, with countless systems that weave together and grow in ways that make them intrinsically connected to one another. Dythia has an otherworldy ability to peel back and peer into the many layers of life. Just by touching someone, she can see into their nervous systems, their skeletons and the very building blocks that build up their genetic code. She can see weak points, when something isn't right or harmful. They also have a a sort of radar for nearby lifeforms. They feel inexplicably connected to every living thing, from the highbloods that attacked her to the grass beneath her very feet.

Dythia lives in a luxurious hive that had previously belonged to a violetblood. It's a large, extravagent home with a gorgeous garden out front and a beautiful courtyard inside. Not long after their initial flee from the church, Dythia found a hive that had been broken into and ransacked. Inside, they found the corpse of a violetblood along with whatever was left and wasn’t stolen from their home. They were hesitant about touching anything, let alone moving into the property. She didn't feel it was right, to use the someone else’s demise as a benefit for herself. But she had no other choice. They tried their best to do it as respectfully as possible, and never took down the portraits of the violet they had hanging up in their home. Little by little, Dythia fixed the hive up for themself, and even gave the nameless (to them) violetblood a proper burial near the hive.

Dythia was amongst those in the church that the convent of nuns had raised personally. She was smuggled out of the brooding caverns as an egg, a practice that the church partook in semi-regularly. They were chosen, along with some of the other midblooded girls, to join the convent early due to their obedience and excellent school performance. She never liked it, never thought of it as an honor like her peers did. She never wanted to veil her hair.

Seer of Life; One who Invites Understanding of Life or one who Invites Understanding through Life

Seers are the passive half to the Understanding class, with their counterpart being the active Mages. Seers tend to have a strong sense of morality as well as justice. Seers are shown knowledge of their aspect through symbolic visions or manifestations. They must learn how to translate these visions and manifestations into actions and decisions in order to help their teammates and session succeed. They are the most strategic of the classes and guide from the sidelines. Life is the aspect of healing, growth and empathy. It’s opposite aspect is Doom. Life players are concerned with the betterment of themselves and the people around them. They are deeply empathetic and intuitive people, often with an intuitive understanding of other’s suffering. They tend to be selfless, often putting others needs before their own though they can grow resentful if they feel they have been pushed to the side. A seer of life’s role is a passive one. Seers of Life are naturally optimistic and are the types to believe that things will turn out alright in the end no matter the circumstance; they can see and feel how everything lives and wants to live, they can feel the life force from everything that is alive. They would struggle with the notion that sometimes you need to fight for what you need in life and someone must lose for them to win. They see the potential in all living things to grow and change, and may believe that you shouldn’t have to commit sacrifice to get what you want. Their challenge is to understand that although all living things want to live, and do not want to die, all things must.
