THE VISIONSHAPER


"All the world's a stage"

A trickster is the very essence of Bishop's being. It is a dazzling Vessel when it wants people to think so, and a horrific creature that strikes fear into its foes when Bishop so desires. Bishop learned at the very beginning of their conception that their connection to their Shade allowed them to manifest Focus in a way like no other, in a manner of tricks and illusions.

Because of this, it has harnessed this magic for it's desire of performance. It creates staircases reaching hundreds of feet high, dazzling lightshows to strike awe in the hearts of it's adoring fans. Bishop's name reaches far and wide across Hallownest as an experience worth all the Geo in the world. It can also use this power to defend itself, if need be, by giving the offender illusions of what they fear and what they miss. Morality has no bounds for Bishop- if it can nab them some extra Geo, it'll do whatever it needs to.

DESIGN







  • Often times, Bishop is seen in a formal 3-piece suit.
  • Bishop is a relatively short vessel, standing at around 4'6.
  • Bishop's nail of choice is a cane that acts as a sheath for a thin, coiled nail resembling a rapier.
  • The magic wand is purely for show. Bishop doesn't actually need it.

PRELUDE


CONCEPTION


Upon being thrown into the Abyss, Bishop was nearly met with the same fate as many of their previous siblings, however quickly realized that they were unlike their fellow Vessels as their fall seemed to slow down to a crawling pace as if they had wings, gliding down to a safe landing. Bishop looked around the Abyss to see any kind of escape, finding a tunnel that lead into Nosk's lair in Deepnest that a few other Vessels had discovered. Bishop used their newfound power of of illusions to disorient Nosk and escape the caverns of Deepnest.

OUTER WILDS


After escaping countless beasts in Hallownest, Bishop found itself climbing from the lowest point of Hallownest to the Howling Cliffs, where it adventured into the windy outer wilds beyond Pale rule to train its skills for years. Upon returning to Hallownest, Bishop discovered that most of the Kingdom had been killed off or infected, and now only a few bastions of civilization remained. It's first destination was Greenpath, where it found a travelling tailor mantis. After scavenging Geo, Bishop ordered 2 items- a 3 piece tailored performing suit, vibrant with splashes of color, and a starry robe for more casual use. After trying on it's new outfit, it encountered one of its siblings, greeting one another. The other sibling, calling themselves V, was delighted to see another one of its siblings. After introducing Bishop to it's "family" which was simply a collection of rocks with cloaks and dead sibling shells, and Bishop performing an act for V, Bishop moved onwards.

INEFFABLE


While traveling through the Forgotten Crossroads, Bishop purchased a map from the traveling merchant Cornifer, and used it to continue onto the City of Tears. Upon entering, it was greeted by an odd Mantis. They had a friendly conversation, parting ways and allowing Bishop to travel further to the King's Station. After swimming through a hole in the wall, Bishop found itself in the Kingdom's Edge, where it competed in the Colosseum of Fools for a short while, winning over the crowd with it's flashy attacks. At that point, hearing the crowd, Bishop knew that this was its destiny- to perform, and to make their name known across all kingdoms worldwide.

RELATIONSHIPS



"Oh, what a nice companion V is! Such a friendly face to be greeted to Hallownest by! Yes, yes, I quite enjoy interactions with my sibling! Even if it is a little bit delusional!"


"Ah, yes, that mantis! In the City! I remember him! He was quite nice to talk to! For 20 seconds! That's time I'll never get back, and that's fine by me!"


"Lullabies! Yes, what a fine, lovely one it is! Maybe ill-tempered from time to time.. Oh I'd be the greatest of friends with them! However, they are a competitor, and competitors are no good! Sorry, dear- survival of the fittest!"


"Oh, usually I don't like bland people... but Wielder? Wielder's just the right amount of bland! Oh, no, but seriously, Wielder's quite nice to be around! I'd love to spend some more time with them, if they ever came out of that cave!"


"Huh? Apothecary? Oh, no, no! Why would I have a relationship with my bodyguard? I mean, sure! He's cool, and funny, and handsome, and sweet, and brave, and all those other good things, but love!? Pfft! What a crazy assumption!"


"Haha, yes, Gale! What a sweet one, he is! Always cheering for me at the end of my shows.. oh, I always love visiting him and Placid whenever I stop by Greenpath!"



"What is it with my siblings and always being so lovable!? Placid's also very sweet, much like my other siblings. It's very cautious and calculated, so essentially the opposite of me, and that's why I love it!"
