Aware of the greater worlds, Llyr - also known as Mister Magpie - has encountered acts of primitive conflict, territorial possession, and experienced the instincts of savage men. By trying to blend his body to act as a vessel for legacy, the spark has defined its purpose around creating indelible material change within Idalos.
Mistress Magpie seeks to originate, transform, propagate, and subsequently evolve the design of her creations.
Approval here.
Competent Awakening I | Crossbreed
Competent: Crossbreed
Swayed by the concept of blending totems together to create entirely new beings/creatures, Llyr acquires totems specifically for the purpose of blending them into something new, and then to propagate the successfully blended creatures for further evolutionary research and improvement.
Competent Awakening II | False Eyes
Competent: False Eyes
Along the back of the mage's neck, there are colorful shimmer markings that resemble iridescent tattoos in a fan shape, mimicking the spread and colors of feathers in a peacock train. The shape of the fan ends at the spot where neck meets shoulders, with the highest point at the nape of the neck. Within these markings, the design includes many false eyespots. These tend to be read by animals as predatory eyes. The yellow and blues are especially vibrant, often signaling a venomous warning to creatures that recognize toxic coloration.
Expert Awakening I | The Magpie's Collection
Expert: The Magpie's Collection
Llyr not only seeks to collect totems and blended forms but is driven by an intense need to collect things he considers resourceful and/or valuable. This starts with totems, then extends to objects such as jewelry, accessories, trinkets, and so on. The more refined, the better. This personality habit extends to a lot of his lifestyle and thus, he's on the constant search for enough space to keep all his various treasures both safe and on display for the enjoyment of viewing his collections.
Expert Awakening II | Embellishment
Expert: Embellishment
All markings that come from the Becomer's spark have spread farther and that of simpler design has developed into further complexity. The gossamer witchmark tattoos, mirrored along the sides of Llyr's waist, now extends down over his hips, pelvic bones, and the top of his thighs. The spiral venation design now includes a mosaic of arcane symbols unique to him. The False Eyes marking has identical markings, but of downward-pointed fans over the round of both shoulders.
Master Awakening I | Bioluminescence
Master: Bioluminescence
All of the Becoming Spark's markings, such as the Witchmark and the False Eyes, are bioluminescent. This usually looks like a low-light illumination of glitter, but when the markings touch something (or are touched), the illumination quickly brightens. As the pressure fades, so does the illumination back to the usual dim sparkle. The color of this bioluminescence depends on the color of Llyr's eyes. His blood has also taken on the quality of bioluminescence, which causes a perpetual shimmer of silver under his skin and brightens with blue and silver coloration whenever touched (or in darkness).
Master Awakening II | Presentation
Master: Presentation
The importance of appearance and sense signals has become paramount to the Becomer. Not limited to visual appearance, but anything to do with general senses (scent, taste, hearing, etc.); the presentation of the mage is formed around perceptions of status and attraction. The Becomer's spark wants people to be drawn toward the mage's presence, and thus potentially acquire voluntary totems from them.
This desire leads the spark to compel the mage to use a wide collection of attire, accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, voices to echo, and so on. It, also, perceives certain totems similar to how a person might regard a hairstyle - in that if a totemic figure suits a particular outfit and setting more, then the Becomer will be driven to choose that form over any established consistent form.
Master Awakening III | The Magpie's Nest
Master: The Magpie's Nest
Llyr doesn't only need space to keep The Magpie's Collection but now the interior space of his residence has become an essential part of the spark's expressions. His need of Presentation goes beyond his physical body, and extends to where he resides (this includes all the senses as well as visual). Along with this, he is compelled to display unique items/collections out in the open.
Magical artifacts and items as decor especially please the spark, and when he finds new pieces for his collection, he often feels sensations of elation about it. He enjoys letting others observe these, but he does not want anyone to take them from him. Losing certain key pieces of his collections, whether through destruction, theft, or voluntary trade/gifting, causes him to feel as much grief equal to the elation he felt when he got the item in question.
Master Awakening IV | Multifold Identity
Master: Multifold Identity
At the pinnacle of mastery, Llyr has come to realize an identity that transcends ordinary boundaries and limitations. Names, faces, and even surface-level personalities mean little to the mage's attachment of self. Like anything they (mage and spark) collect, so do they acquire collections of totems, names, and even positions in different areas of society.
While the spark likes to be recognized within the powerful host, Llyr's original self-identity isn't required for that. As such, the spark does not need to let others know that the form is "Llyr" and encourages new identities around different totems. The spark sees itself as Mistress Magpie, a particular persona that literally manifests itself through specific totems in attempts to develop beyond the mage and hijack the host entirely.
The mage, however, has created a complex internal mechanism that allows for these varied identities to still be considered part of a cohesive individual. In metaphor, each identity is perceived as an individual petal but Llyr sees himself as the flower, stem, and roots rather than getting confused by trying to identify with just one or two of the many petals that make up the blatantly visible part. Llyr's perception of self has become fractal, in which he understands himself as the whole of infinite identities.
