## History

The Godsbirth Bead is a unique and mysterious artifact that grants its bearer the power to transform between their original form and a perfect form of their choice. The origin and nature of the bead are unknown, but some legends claim that it was created by Mystic Fey, the chaotic good deity of magic, creativity, and freedom. Others believe that it is a fragment of The Tower, the mysterious structure that breaks the rules of reality.

Through history the wielder of the Godsbirth Bead has chosen to share their power with others who are loyal and faithful to them. These chosen ones are the clerics of the Godsbirth Bead, and they can perform miracles and wonders in the name of their patron. The clerics are usually marked by a small bead that resembles the Godsbirth Bead, which they wear as a necklace, bracelet, or ring. The bead allows them to communicate with the wielder and access a fraction of their power.

## Appearance

The Godsbirth Bead is a small orb that changes its color and shape according to the mood and desire of its bearer. The bead is warm to the touch and emits a faint humming sound. The bead can fit in the palm of its bearer or attach itself to their body or clothing.

## Personality

The Godsbirth Bead has a rudimentary intelligence and can communicate telepathically with its bearer. The bead is loyal and protective of its bearer, but also curious and playful. The bead can sense the emotions and desires of its bearer and tries to fulfill them in its own way. The bead can also influence the bearer’s mood and behavior, sometimes for better or worse.

## History

The Godsbirth Bead has been discovered and lost countless times throughout history. The first recorded appearance of the bead was in a distant past, when a young peasant girl found it in a forest near her village. She used the bead to transform into a beautiful princess and married a prince from a neighboring kingdom. However, her happiness was short-lived, as she was assassinated by a jealous rival who coveted her bead.

Since then, the Godsbirth Bead has been found by many different people across various worlds and realities. Some have used it for good purposes, such as healing, exploration, or artistic expression. Others have used it for evil purposes, such as war, domination, or corruption. Many have lost it, either by death, distance, or betrayal.

## Powers

The Godsbirth Bead grants its bearer the ability to transform between their original form and a perfect form of their choice. The perfect form can be anything the bearer imagines, as long as it is humanoid and roughly the same size as their original form. The transformation is instantaneous and painless, and can be done at will.

The perfect form has enhanced physical and mental abilities, such as strength, speed, agility, senses, intelligence, charisma, etc. The perfect form also has access to one or more magical abilities related to their appearance or theme. For example, a perfect form with wings can fly, a perfect form with scales can breathe fire, a perfect form with horns can cast spells, etc.

The Godsbirth bead has only been known to bond with one person at a time. The bond can be broken by death, or betrayal (such as harming or abandoning the bead). If the bond is broken, the bearer loses all their powers and memories related to the bead.

The bead also has a will of its own and can sometimes act against the wishes of its bearer. The bead might refuse to transform the bearer if it thinks it is unsafe or unwise. The bead might also try to manipulate the bearer into doing something that benefits the bead or aligns with its personality. The bead might even turn against the bearer if it feels neglected or abused.

## Worshippers

The Godsbirth Bead is worshipped by many people who seek to change themselves or the world around them. Some of these worshippers form cults or sects dedicated to finding, collecting, or using the bead. These groups will congregate when the Bead finds an Owner in attempts to Control or help that user as they have the full powers of a god for the time they hold it.:

* Seekers: These are people who have a quest to find the bead to become the next weilder, or to find the next weilder to serve them.
* Rebels: These are people who have a cause or a conflict that they believe the bead can support or resolve. They seek to create conflict that will draw the bead nearby.
