Book [***]: Fear Future and Light Part 8/9
Surprise Survivor time. Meet The Purple Tear (as in tearing paper). which is one of few problem characters in the game for those who'd prefer the Survivors to be the weakest link among the Entity's chain. other problem characters get out of this issue by being removed from the circumstances that make them powerful (Laurie, being around others. Ash, not having any weapons on hand.) but Iori is... intrinsically powerful. she has the ability to hop between dimensions as a part of her "humanity" (face it no character in the city is a human unless they are an infant) but this is what I get for merging worlds that have cosmic horror be central themes. the way that I'm going about this is, Iori is here on "vacation" in her words. she could leave the realms at any point but chooses to stay and play by the rules to relax. and this poses a Unique question to the Devs: escaping the realms by hopping Dimensions may just endanger more worlds at once but how often does The Entity choose to switch dimensions? I know that it is a world eater and has and would ruin our own if it was aware but if he had access to multiple would he take from both or just the one he wants.
Anyways here's Iori.
Iori
Biography
Who am I? What exactly are you asking? My life story? I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. How about, just what brought me here? I am referred to as The Purple Tear. A fixer of The City, clad in purple, and one of the strongest fixers you’ll find. This mainly came from my ability to hop between timelines and dimensions, and the ability to interfere with those I jump into. Not all timelines happen simultaneously, some happen faster than others and some slower. This timeline just so happens to happen much slower than the one I am destined to end in. I’ll be there and back very quickly so the lord here has nothing to worry about. I could easily leave if I do wish but these trials are fun distractions from the monotony of finding solutions to problems across time.
