Whispering Legion

== Who are the Legion? ==
The Whispering Legion are a group of souls cursed to inhabit a rapier. The only freedom they have is by corrupting the wielder of the blade. This corruption comes in the form of whispers which are able to sway the bearer of the weapon into various troublesome or dangerous situations any sane being would refuse to take part in.
The cursed rapier the Legion inhabits is currently wielded by Satchi. Their corruption immediately turned him into a vampire, and since then, he has been partially a slave to their whims. While he can fight off the whispers with sheer willpower, at other times, especially when Satchi is weakened or emotionally conflicted, they seem to have full control of his actions.
The true motivations of the Legion are unknown. They seem to know much about the Cycle and Satchi's destined role with them, and they are concerned with protecting him most of all. However, this act could just be a form of self-preservation, since if Satchi dies their curse will likely die with it. It also seems like many of the Legion are intensely lonely, desiring and perhaps feeding off intense emotions of others, as they are always attempting to get Satchi to kiss others unprovoked. At other times, they attempt to drive people to acts of jealousy.
It is said that the Legion are the souls of the previous bearers of the rapier. It is unknown if this is truthful.
Besides the rapier, which appears to tell a mixture of half truths and half lies, there are two other blades forged with it: a second blade which always tells the truth, and a third blade that always tells lies. It is unknown whether these blades possess similar whispering curses.
== Trivia ==
* The whispers that Satchi experiences are actually his twitch viewers. Whenever he draws the rapier or draws upon its power, Satchi consults his twitch feed, and they’re able to make suggestions to his actions. After a few seconds, Satchi will flip a coin. If the coin comes up heads, Satchi has to do what has been suggested. If it comes up tails, Satchi maintains control and free will. Due to this, the Legion are always asking Satchi to believe in them and “toss aside the coin” so they can gain control. Also, since the Legion uses the heads side of the coin, a purging of the Legion’s influence can also be referred to as “cutting off their heads.”
* When the Legion leads Satchi into a situation and he berates them for it, their reply is often a dismissive, "Oh, sure, blame the Legion!" implying that it was Satchi's decision all along.
