Social

Personality Traits: Duplicity and deceit are the lowest form of disrespect. I will not participate in them. Blind faith confuses me. I believe in the existence of gods but I cannot understand devotion to them. All the texts I have found show them to be as flawed in their own way as mortals. Ideals: To learn where I came from. My mother, my father, my past. From that I can chart my future. Every new place I visit is a new chance to find a glimmer of hope that one day I'll have someplace I belong. Bonds: The journals I keep are more important to me than gold. Without them, I lose who I see myself as. I lose who I have learned myself to be. Flaws: Growing up an orphan, in a town that treated me special due to my visible heritage... I have trouble learning to trust easily. Do you appreciate me for who I actually am or what you think I am?

QUOTE
-UNKOWN

Origin

I was born an orphan in a small city. My mother died in childbirth; I never knew her. And since she had only recently arrived in the city before I was born, neither did anyone I grew up with. I only know of her that she was tight-lipped about where she came from, she was unwed (my no-good defiling father abandoning her presumably! Some angel he was!), and she was comely.

I never knew a single guardian or parent. I was passed around a small district of the city. A good luck charm, or so it was believed, by whoever had me. Traded from household to household whenever hard times fell on someone. Whispered behind my back, tales like this were common: "Poor old lady Merril. Her well's dried up. Best send the angel-boy over to her; it's what he's good for. We're doing well enough, we don't need Raz's blessing for ourselves." They thought I was ignorant or deaf to what was said. I heard everything. Never really wanted. Never really welcomed. I wager if I weren't what I am, then I'd have been pitched in the river the day I was born. I hate people.

I left "home" when I was 16? 15 maybe? I hate to admit it, but I bartered on my reputation of good fortune and blessing. I'm sick thinking of what I did and how I deceived good people. But I survived. I made it to a larger city and was able to barter on my heritage for education that I never could have received where I was born. I know I have angels in my line somewhere. I hoped by studying religion that I could find faith. That I could find family. All I found was... pettiness. "Gods" that were no more divine in their actions that any person I've ever met. I don't... I just do not understand the faith in these things that the priests can extol. It's garbage. But I admit it works. You can't deny the powers wielded by the faithful.

Speaking of power... I don't know exactly when I turned away from religious pursuits. But my disenchantment with them was clear at some point. I've had strange dreams lately. Felt pushed...someplace. A few months ago I followed one without thinking. I came to a starlit grotto. Strange writing on the wall called to me. A contract. A pact. A promise to help seekers find in return for finding for the Seeker. I don't know who this Seeker is. But if he could help me find my mother's people, my father's identity... then I could seek for him what it's looking for. I performed the rite; I made the sacrifice. I committed to her, The Seeker. I can only describe it as an infusion of Starlight. If I unfocus my gaze and look upon my reflection, the already silver-dusted skin I live in almost glows with starlight now. I have power. I have motivation. I have a path to my answers that I never would have found in books and religious libraries. The secrets of the world are written in the heavens for me alone to read.

Class Traits

• Shield Aurora ability - Starting at 1st level, you can invoke the Seeker’s power to protect you from harm. As a bonus action, you create a whirling aurora of brilliant energy that swirls around you. Until the end of your next turn, you gain resistance to all damage, and if a hostile creature ends its turn within 10 feet of you, it takes radiant damage equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
• Pact of the Chain - At 3rd level, a character dedicated to the Seeker can select this option instead of one of the warlock’s existing Pact Boon options. The Seeker grants you a chain forged from starlight, decorated with seven gleaming motes of brightness. While the chain is on your person, you know the augury spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known. Additionally, you can invoke the Seeker’s power to gain advantage on an Intelligence check while you carry this item. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest. If you lose your Star Chain, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from the Seeker. The ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous chain. The chain disappears in a flash of light when you die. The exact form of this item might be different depending on your patron.
• Astral Refuge - At 6th level, you gain the ability to step into an astral refuge. As an action, you disappear from the world for a brief moment and enter the Astral Plane, taking advantage of its timeless nature. While in your astral refuge, you can take two actions to cast spells that target only you. After using those two actions, you return to the space you occupied and your turn ends.
• Far Wanderer - At 10th level, you no longer need to breathe, and you gain resistance to fire damage and cold damage.
• Astral Sequestration - Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to sequester yourself and your allies on the Astral Plane. By performing a special ritual over the course of 5 minutes, you shift yourself and up to ten willing creatures you can see to the Astral Plane. You and those creatures gain the benefits of a short rest while sequestered on the Astral Plane. You then return to the spaces you all occupied when you used this ability, with no time having passed in the world. During this short rest, you and the creatures you sequester can make use of any options available during a rest that affect only you and the creatures you sequester. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.
