Backstory
Prism was born from the first rainbow ever seen, and they've been creating light art ever since. Their illusions are legendary—capable of making day from night, hope from despair, beauty from ugliness. But they're terrified of darkness, of the light going out.
Daily Life
They spend their days creating light shows, their nights storing light for the darkness, and their rare free moments dancing in the sun. They haven't seen true darkness in two centuries.
Story Hooks
- 1 They're fading and need help finding a way to sustain their light
- 2 A PC needs an illusion created, but Prism will only do it if they help confront their fear of darkness
