John Wallis, Power of Infinity

From Familia Niveum

Revision as of 23:28, 10 August 2007

Viscount of The Infinite

Dominas Infinitas

An unassuming man with a fading British accent and eyes that bely the endlessness of his power. His is the stars that stretch without end, his is the math that goes on forever, his is the logic that loops in on oneself. Being near him is like staring into a chasm too deep for you to see the bottom, you just feel like the yawning infinite could swallow you up if you stay too close. Of course his polite manner and educated repartee quickly makes you feel at ease

Affiliation

The Code of the Angels 1. Beauty is the highest principle 2. Justice is a form of beauty 3. Lesser beings should respect their betters

Design

A symbol of infinity twisting around two flowers. The flower of Infinity is a pure white lotus with more petals then it should have; each petal contains another which contains another, ad infinitum. The flower of Wallis is an unassuming black lilly, stark and simple but with it's petals slowly curling inward rather then out.

Gifts

A Head for Numbers

Gifted with mathematics from before his Commencement, Wallis is now in a field he shares only with other miraculously intelligent beings. He has an Aspect of 7 for any action related to calculation. (Cost, Aspect 7 + no penetration (+0) + Simple Miracle (-1) + Effects only oneself (-3) + Limited Utility (-2) + Uncommon (+1) = 2 points)

Shapeshifting

By letting the infinite into his being, John can choose between the myriad shapes of things inside the Weirdling Wall and take any for himself. (Cost 2 points)

Eternal

Inside a necklace given to him by his lady love holds the key to immortality. For as long as Eternity will last, John Wallis will continue to live. (Cost 3 points)

Limits

Focus: Eternity's Locket

A general limit ( +1 AMP )

A silver locket given to him by his lover, the Power of Eternity. Inside is not a picture of her (that would give their secret affair away) but is instead a small piece of eternity itself. Anyone who wears it gains the Eternal Gift.

Small Estate

A limit of Domain (+2 DMP)

Infinity is endless, boundless. If you divide it in half, it's still infinite. Problem is there's not alot of infinite things in Creation, not alot of infinite typewriters for the few gatherings of an infinite number of monkeys. As such, what Wallis can control with his Domain is pretty limited, very little in Creation is naturally infinite. Creation itself has a finite barrier in the Wierdling Wall.

Restrictions

Compromised

The two century long romance between John Wallis of Infinity and Lady Eternity has been a well kept secret. Only his familia know anything about it, Nobilis society at large believes the two to share related Estates and thus have much in common to talk about. In public they are cold to eachother, sometimes even cruel. Of course, no secret can be kept forever. When Wallis is blackmailed into doing something to keep this love a secret, it gives 1 to 3 Miracle Points depending on how outrageous the request is.

Respectful of Mathematicians

Anyone who shares the same career as Wallis is completely beyond reproach. He cannot effect them with miracles and he cannot harm them in any way. This is a self-imposed restriction and one John takes very seriously. Mathematics is the key to universe, he says. This gives one MP every time it significantly complicates John Wallis' life.

Curious

He simply can't help himself. If there's a mystery, a stone unturned, a box unopened, Wallis just has to figure it out. Anytime his curiosity gets him into more trouble then it was worth, he regains 1 MP.

Bonds

• Lady Eternity: 5
• His Imperator: 2
• His Familia: 3
• His Locket: 3
• His Chancel: 3
• The ongoing advancement of human mathematics: 3

Sample Miracles

Simple Miracles (0 MP)

• Estate Driven Divinations - Infinity warns when it is somehow in peril

• Ghost Miracles - Can make something seem endless, or more numerous then it actually is

• Lesser Divinations - Can know anything about infinity ... can't think of what he'd want to know

Normal Miracles (1 MP)

• Lesser Preservation - Make sure something infinite never loses that quality. It's so rare to find something with it!

Hard Miracles (2 MP)

• Lesser Creation of Infinity - create an infinite amount of something, or multiply anything by infinity. Also allows the creation of infinite logic loops that become hard to escape, or rooms that infinitely repeat themselves.

Deep Miracles (4 MP)

• Lesser Destruction of Infinity - Resolve an infinite loop, make something infinite finite. Also allows the creation of super-finity, the opposite of infinity, something with limits so well defined it doesn't exist.

• Major Divination of Infinity - Wallis stares into the infinite, or gets an infinite amount of monkeys on an infinite amount of typewriters to tell him whatever he wants to know. Infinity knows everything.

• Lesser Change of Infinity - Allows him to redefine infinity so that it works differently then the way it currently works. This allows the creation of inwardly infinite things, like tiny orbs that contain a whole universe, or the infinipede.

• Major Preservation of Infinity - No clue

Words of Command (8MP and a terrible wound)

• Major Creation of Infinity - like infinity isn't already major
• Major Destruction - That's it, NO MORE INFINITY FOR ANYONE!
• Major Changes - Really useful for making Infinity an easier Estate to create Miracle trees for.

Due to his Small Estate Limit, Infinity has no correspondences.
