THE AWAKENED

In the case that a seer does not closely follow the virtue they are bound to, or that they gaze upon a truth they were not intended to know (such as their own death, an alternate timeline, etc, etc)… a seer will awaken.

The awakened are the corrupt, grotesque and deformed equivalent to seers, and despite sharing their insectoid features and foresight, this is where the similarities end. They are dark in colouration, stronger and inhumanly tall, some reaching 15 feet in height. Most importantly, their blackened skin is scattered with hundreds of eyes, all moving independently. All viewing differing futures, every potiential all at once.

Awakening is a horrifically painful process, and upon surviving such a transformation, the ability to see all at once is a terrible burden to bear. A seer may survive awakening, but many wish that they did not.

If not driven to complete derangement, the majority of awakened stray from society, choosing to live nocturnal and isolated lives. They need not eat; they need not sleep; they need not form any meaningful connections.

Awakening renders the seer totally infertile, and totally immune to illness or aging - if the unavoidable foresight does not drive one mad, immortality will. The only way in which the awakened may meet the reaper is via an abyss crystal, either formed into a weapon or ingested orally.

Strangely enough, all awakened possess the ability to punch at a speed comparable to that of a bullet leaving a gun - it is incredibly easy for them to do, and often leads to accidental injuries and or deaths. The snap of sound caused by doing so is capable of bursting human eardrums.
