PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Master Aion Voros was a study in quiet intensity. Ash-grey skin, taut and smooth from the Prescient induction, stretched over a lean frame. He moves with deliberate grace, each gesture precise. His ancient, unadorned helmet, conceals his face, a constant reminder of the burden of foresight. He carries no weapons, his presence commanding respect not through force, but through the weight of his wisdom and the subtle knowledge of what might be.
INVENTORY
The Prescient's ancient helmets, forged from an unknown, glyph-etched metal interwoven with a rare Force-sensitive material, are more than protective gear. They act as both a powerful mental shield, impervious to psychic intrusion, and a temporal anchor, grounding the wearer in the present as their mind explores the future. These unique artifacts amplify precognitive abilities, allowing the Prescient to navigate the currents of time with clarity and avoid being lost in the labyrinth of possibilities.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Aion's core beliefs are etched into his very being. He sees time not as a linear progression, but as a cyclical dance of repeating patterns, a cosmic ballet whose steps can be understood and, with careful deliberation, subtly influenced. He believes in the interconnectedness of all things, recognizing that even the smallest action send ripples through the vast tapestry of time and fate. This understanding gives him a profound respect for the delicate balance between observation and intervention, a balance he strives to maintain with unwavering focus. He knows the weight of foresight, the burden of glimpsing potential futures, both bright and terrifying. It is a responsibility he carries with solemnity, never allowing the knowledge of what might be to corrupt his judgment.
His personality mirrors these beliefs. He is a man of few words, preferring the quietude of observation and reflection. His silence is not born of emptiness, but rather a deep well of thought, constantly churning with the possibilities and probabilities he perceives. He possesses the wisdom and patience of one who understands the long game, the slow unfolding of cause and effect. A stoic demeanor masks a compassionate heart, one that cares deeply for the well-being of others, even as he maintains the emotional distance necessary to navigate the overwhelming tides of time. He is introspective, spending countless hours in contemplation, seeking to decipher the cryptic language of his visions. This introspection, combined with an almost preternatural mental discipline, allows him to not only control the influx of future possibilities but also to shield his mind from external influence. Though he holds a position of great authority within the Prescient, he remains humble, seeing himself as a servant of the Force, a guardian of the delicate balance of time itself. His quiet intensity, his hidden face, his very presence, radiates an aura of mystery, marking him as a man privy to secrets that lie beyond the grasp of ordinary minds.
STRENGTHS
Foresight: Master Aion Voros' foresight is less like watching a clear recording of the future and more like perceiving a tapestry woven from threads of possibility. He sees glimpses of potential futures, not as fixed events, but as fluid, shifting probabilities. However, Aion's foresight is a murky reflection of possibilities, not a clear view of destiny. He sees fragmented, symbolic glimpses of potential futures, requiring arduous interpretation. The further he looks, the more blurred and uncertain the visions become. Crucially, the future is mutable; choices constantly reweave the threads of time, rendering predictions obsolete. Emotions, his own and others hinder clear perception. Foresight is mentally taxing, and prolonged visions leave him exhausted. Finally, blind spots, those unnerving gaps in his knowledge, remind him that even he cannot see all that lies ahead.
Temporal Awareness: Master Aion Voros fights with subtle, preternatural awareness, anticipating his opponents' moves before they happen. He flows around attacks, evading rather than blocking, and redirects momentum against his adversaries. His strikes are precise, targeting specific points to disable. He subtly enhances his reflexes and perception with the Force, creating openings and exploiting vulnerabilities. A master of timing, he subtly manipulates the environment to his advantage. His combat style reflects his beliefs: subtle, precise, balanced, and focused on defense rather than brute force. He is a silent storm of controlled precision. However, this ability is heavily reliant upon his ability to remain calm and focused during a fight. Emotion can disrupt the flow of the Force hindering him from predicting the movements of his opponent.
WEAKNESSES
Foresight's Burden: The constant influx of potential timelines, the knowledge of countless triumphs and tragedies that might be, can drive a seer to madness. It is a burden that must be shared, a weight that can only be carried by two. The Prescient understand this, and it is why the Master must always have an Apprentice, a partner to share the load, to temper the visions, to provide balance and perspective. Without that shared burden, the seer risks being consumed by the swirling currents of time, lost in the labyrinth of what could be, and ultimately, broken by the sheer, overwhelming weight of the future.
The Paradox of Knowledge: Master Aion Voros is burdened by the knowledge of potential futures, but he also knows that the future is not fixed. This can lead to a kind of paralysis by analysis, where he hesitates to act for fear of creating unintended consequences. He may become overly cautious, missing opportunities because he is too busy weighing the infinite possibilities or his own inaction has its own consequence.
HISTORY
Aion survived a devastating Timestorm that ravaged his homeworld, a rare phenomenon that warped time and shattered minds. Found by Master Voros unharmed amidst the temporal chaos, young Aion displayed nascent precognitive abilities and a resistance to temporal distortions. More importantly, Voros experienced a powerful vision of Aion as a crucial figure in preserving the timeline's balance. Despite the risks of a Timestorm survivor, Voros took Aion as his apprentice, believing him destined to become a guardian of time itself.
