Orpheus

Orpheus is a major supporting character in the first Act of The Rift Maker. A reclusive Pyrasite making his home in a nondisclosed location, Orpheus uses his vast psychic magic to foretell future events, and relay prophecies to those he believes are capable of fulfilling them.
== History ==
A somewhat lonesome soul, Orpheus had spent his refuge from the Cosmic Death in solitude. In an indeterminate spot on Earth, Orpheus decided to meditate. For the coming years, Orpheus would wait in this spot, unseen to the naked eye. For years, he would do nothing but meditate. Visited and thought of by no one, Orpheus patiently waited for the day when his ceaseless and insurmountable visions would come to pass. Visions of hope, sorrow, anger, and uncertainty, mingled together to create a path towards our destiny. 
Orpheus, like all great minds in history, sought to gain knowledge for the sole purpose of one's own curiosity. As such, he invested his time studying clairvoyant magic, to the point beyond absolute mastery. However, his dedication towards his pursuit of truth came at the cost of his image in the public eye. His visions of the future made him weary and erratic, fearful of the inevitable end times he had foreseen. These visions wracked heavily on Orpheus' mind, who decided to shut himself off from the world completely. From then on, he would have recurring nightmares, his visions of oblivion taking root into his psyche. In this moment of terror, however, Orpheus resolved to quell these nightmares. After all, why must he resign to a fate of torment? In order to absolve himself of his nightmares, Orpheus wished to change the hand of God, even if doing so would result in his utter and total destruction.
== Abilities ==
=== Absolute Foresight ===
Orpheus can observe the flow of time. Pictures of the past and future appear in his mind in ways only he can interpret. All events that have taken place, or will eventually take place, can be observed. This extends to events that occur in different timelines, as well. Nothing is a secret to Orpheus, which is both a blessing and a curse; though the burden of knowledge is something Orpheus chooses to shoulder alone, eating one of the lotus petals off Orpheus' back allows one to gain a brief but concise glimpse of their own destiny, and the repercussions that come with it.
=== Symbiotic Parasitism ===
As with all pyrasites, Orpheus is capable of invading a body. Although this allows the pyrasite to take control of their host, conversely they are also capable of benefitting the host. Pyrasites have the option to retain the host's control over their own body, and also bestow their specific magic onto the host. The host is then able to utilize their ability, albeit varied in a way that blends the pyrasite's ability with their own. As a last resort, the pyrasite may also exchange their vitality in an effort to save the life of their host, though it goes without saying that this will kill the pyrasite in the process.
