Backstory
Vex was a traditional seer who became disillusioned when her prophecies trapped people in predetermined paths. She developed techniques to see unwritten futures—possibilities that exist outside prophecy. She's become the leader of the Chaos Seers, who believe that true freedom requires embracing uncertainty. She's hunted by those who prefer predictable futures.
Daily Life
She teaches chaos divination, helps people escape prophecies they don't want, and maintains networks of unwritten possibilities. She spends her evenings exploring the boundaries of known reality, seeking new possibilities. She's constantly on the move to avoid those who want to eliminate uncertainty.
Secret
Vex has discovered that her own future is completely unwritten—a terrifying void of possibility that she's hiding from everyone while desperately trying to create her own destiny.
Story Hooks

Narrative Value
