Type: Chimera

Summary: Every obstacle that ever stood in your way, every desire you were told to suppress: the lower self remembers them all, and it is done being patient. Power, riches, dominion: the vissi doesn't judge. It encourages.

Location: TBD

Aversaris or Vangaris
Ability This vissi will function identically whether placed in the aversaris or vangaris arcarium.
Tier 1 Ambient Unlocked:

Harsh whispers and guttural voices rack your brain as your orb bleeds away all color and definition, adopting an oppressive abyssal black hue. Flashes of malevolent imagery enter your mind's eye, and the cacophony of voices continue to overwhelm your senses, though since the multitude of voices overlay each other, it's impossible to pick up any singular phrases. You feel the edges of your sanity begin to fray under the mental assault, and an impossibly loud voice roars over the cacophony, [R] angrily asking, "Why do you resist?" [/R]

And then just as quickly as the onslaught began, it ends, and your orb resumes its normal appearance.

Note: The segment within the bracketed [R] will provide a random response from one of the following:

-angrily asking, "Why do you resist?"
-barking a simple command: "Release your inner beast!"
-taunting you as it declares, "I will break you, though not this moment, as I do enjoy playing with my food."
-telling you, "This world must perish, and you can help bring about its end if you simply embrace your true self!"
-haughtily declaring, "Foolish (owner's race), you think Lady Maivaldius granted you this power simply so you could waste it? Unshackle yourself!"

Tier 2 Roleplay Ability Unlock: Tortured Whisper

You reflect for a moment upon all those that have unsuccessfully stood in your way up to this moment. As you do so, a deep inner rage springs forth as past incidents and foes flash through your mind in increasingly fleeting succession.

As your anger overwhelms you, the images of the past bleed into the present, and you begin to focus on all that currently stands in your way. People, laws, societal expectations… all mere constructs designed to thwart your progress. Realizing that [1] every dog has its day [/1], you swallow your rage [2] . [/2]

Note: Segments contained within bracketed numbers are customizable unlocks. Third-party messaging is not shown here, and although it aligns with the first-person messaging, you never know what others may see!

Tier 3 Customizable Segments Unlocked:

[1] every dog has its day (default) | your outburst of fury is not justified | you are losing control | keeping your fury hidden better positions you to strike your enemies | these dark thoughts may be fueled by your vissi

[3] = radiating pure wrath (default) | demonstrating sheer hatred | engaged in a silent scream | taking on an almost demonic air | amplifying (name's) rage

The 3rd custom is third-person only, thus not reflected in the first-person summary above.

Tier 4 Roleplay Ability Unlock: Avaricious Whisper'

Your orb calls out to you with a sinister tone, its voice heard within your head rather than through your ears. [4]"What is it you most desire?" [/4] "A wellspring of possibilities flood through your mind as you unconsciously answer,"[5] I want vast sums of wealth. [/5] "Your orb responds," [6] Then don't let anyone stand in your way" [/6] before fading away. As you reflect on your desires, your face breaks into [7] an expectant expression [/7].

Tier 5 Customizable Segments Unlocked:

[4] What is it you most desire? (default) | I sense a hunger within you. What is it you seek? | Tell me, NAME, what is it you crave? | Your desperation oozes from your pores. What do you so desperately lust for? | We all harbor unbridled passions, NAME. What is yours?
