## Formation

### Act 2

* Esther ×1
* Hubert ×1
* Gloria ×1
* Index Proselyte ×2

## Overview

Like the Index Proselytes, the Proxies' passives and decks revolve around the  mechanic. In particular, the Proxies' shared passive  adds on to the Singleton mechanic by allowing the Proxies to enter the  state and gain a +1 **Power** buff on top of their other buffs after using six unique Combat Pages. In this state, they will also have access to a special, powerful Combat Page (one for each Proxy). All members of the Index also possess the passive , which gives a +2 **Power** buff to one type of attack die each Scene. The type of die buffed can be determined by the , , and  status effects, one of which will be on each given character per Scene.

Index Proselytes carry over their unique targeting mechanic from the previous Index reception: they focus all of their attacks on a single Librarian until that Librarian is dead, and they will exclusively use Combat Pages with die that are currently buffed by . Index Proxies do not share either of these traits.

#### Combat Dialogue

* As the Prescript orders…
* Life and death all follow the plan of the Prescript. I have no fear.
* Close our eyes… We shall not see what we needn’t see…
* I can sense what is ahead of me, even without the aid of vision.
* I simply follow the predetermined path. The Prescript shall guide me.
* You are not ones to argue about the morals of our work.
* My own will is erroneous. Only the Prescript can lead me to the right path.
* May the Prescript lead my soul…

**Victory Cry*** The Prescript always guides us to the righteous path.
* I simply carried out what I was obligated to do. I hold no malice.
* The Prescript has been carried out, let us return now.
* It has been done… We completed it in whole.
* Those books are nothing more than extra spoils we’ve earned in the process of carrying out the Prescript. I have no desire for more.

**Death*** I am… not sure why it has led me to this ending…
* This must be another dispensation of the Prescript… …I accept it.
* Such is my fate. I have no objections…
* I should not be dissatisfied with my predetermined fate.
* The Prescript… was carried out; I can die in peace.

**On Ally Death*** …It could not be helped. Fate cannot be changed once sealed.
* Rest in peace. We will help handle the rest.
* Let your eyes rest, and go along the road determined by the Prescript…
* May the Prescript be with you in death…
* It is an honor to meet your death following the Prescript.

**On Kill*** It was by the will of the Prescript. Please understand.
* I do not engage in unneeded conflict.
* This has not ended yet.
* …I have no problems so far.
* A shame that you could not join us in the path led by the Prescript.
