Tapping into their Akashic Font, The-One-Who-Is-Many accesses the local zeitgeist, and channels Zo!!! Media. We are The-One-Who-Is-Many. A number of our component units have participated in Zo!!! Media activities in the past, and it will be a pleasure to involve ourselves in this new production.
Alright, I have updated The-One-Who-Is-Many's profile to level 10 :-)
Probably an Akashic Mystic?
Understood. Best of luck for the future :-)
It would appear that other lost souls have come this way before us...

The-One-Who-Is-Many listens to the ethereal whispers of the crystal spheres...
...but, impressed with their jumbled voices, heads for the docks.

It briefly touches your minds, with a telepathic 'voice' that sounds like a chorus of individuals speaking as one. Greetings, fellow sentients we are The-One-Who-Is-Many. However, we acknowledge that individuals prefer to have specific nomens to refer to their fellows. With that in mind, feel free to call us Legion, for we are many. Almost as an afterthought, they add: We dabble in many lines of cogitation, but will prove most beneficial in recalling information, and interacting with computer systems. We also have some skill at mending flesh, both with standard surgery, and preternatural means.

I am more than happy to have answered the pawnbroker's call, as my link-in.
*nods* I theory-crafted a vesk envoy for the playtest. You can do a decent Intimidation build with one :-)
@Dinketry: Well, so far, we have the following declared: Barathu Mystic
So, Envoy and Soldier are not covered yet, but we can always double-up on classes! In terms of skills that aren't covered, between the Barathu and the Yoski, most non-charisma skills are covered (and there is a fair bit of overlap on Int-based skills).
Here is a mock-up for mine :-) |
