The Occultist

Occultists

T
ucked deep within an old abandoned ruin a
young half-elf tears apart ancient tomes
seeking instructions for an old forgotten ritual
by an ancient civilization. This ritual wrought
about a reckoning by dealing with powers far
too detached for them to understand its
purpose. But not for the young half-elf.
A spark lights up their eyes as they uncover a hidden
compartment within a room behind a false wall.
The instructions of the ritual are not finished, but this does
not deter the unyielding half-elf as they prepare to uncover
and finalize the writing. There is no power too powerful, or
too old for them to use. They stop at nothing to fulfill their
pursuit of the occult, strange, and together esoteric
knowledge of the realms. Within their hand, they will become
more than what their world allows.
Seekers of Knowledge
Occultists uncover old rites and rituals to pursue some sort of
esoteric goal. That might mean that they are trying to find
ways to become something different. Many occultists find
themselves uncovering ways of transforming themselves
leading them to pursue vampirism, or lycanthropy. Others
might use their knowledge of the occult to hunt those beasts
and monstrosities to rid the world of their kind. Whatever the
goal, Occultists always find a way to gain the knowledge they
require
Ritualists
Occultists have at their disposal an arsenal of rituals they
have discovered through their studies, and they keep within a
special tome. They find versatile and unique rituals to
perform alongside participants who might be willing.
Uncover truths, aid your allies, bolster your defenses, and add
more rituals to your tome as they grow in power.
Cursed Bearers
When an Occultist finds a pursuit they wish to follow there is
no path they are not willing to walk. they will take on any
curse that will help them become or learn what they want.
Some may think them to be evil, and some may very well be
that way, but most Occultists trend towards keeping their
knowledge to themselves, and only use it when it's required.
Creating an Occultist
When creating an Occultist consider the nature of your
studies, and what drove you to seek your pursuit. Was your
family killed by a vampire or their spawn and drove you to
become the very thing that hurt you to kill them? Did you
have a fascination with lycanthropy and want to take on the
curse to join or lead your pack? Did you witness atrocities
done by all manner of beasts and monsters and have devoted
yourself to hunting them down? Regardless of the catalyst
that set your path, you now gather rites and rituals to aid your
choice.
