OOCly: This character is a Nameless anti-Abyss specialist who assists Pentacle and Nameless mages in learning safe practices and also fighting the Seers, so if you would like character ties please send me a message.
Personal Information
| DeWitt is currently a Sentinel for the Launceston Consilium. This provides him license to take whatever action he deems best to:
This authority is granted under the ongoing retroactive review of the Council. |
Appearance
Brown hair, brown eyes, late 20s, 180cm tall, 90kg. Work shirt, rolled sleeves, dual empty shoulder holsters, business pants.
Personality
DeWitt is someone who is very clearly trying to be an ally to the Pentacle even though there are apparently reasons he doesn't join their Orders. He's got the "seen some shit" vibe of an ex-soldier, but none of the "fall in line behind me soldier" arrogance that usually goes with it.
Where such things are contrasted, he clearly values the best general outcome for everyone over personal gain. He very clearly makes an effort to assist people who need it, but doesn't try to take charge or meddle. He seems to have a thing about not overstepping boundaries that might be the domain of more important mages.

People in proximity to it realise the inconsequential nature of all their decisions; that in the face of the infinitely expanding possibilities of circumstance and outcome, a different version of themselves could easily occupy their role with minimal consequences - and the decisions that one views as meaningful or life-changing may actually amount to meaning very little. But that same understanding of infinite versions of reality can also help to spot clues because by intuiting how the scene might be different, one can also see what is important in the scene in front of them.
