皮提亚（种族）

**Pythias** are a race of powerful beings that feature primarily in Hello Charlotte Episode 1, but are referenced throughout the series. The Pythias were inhabitants of a land within the TV World known as "Delphi" before their world ceased to be by the end of Episode 1.

梗概
--

皮提亚是一种复杂而难以理解的生物，据说每个种族对它们的看法都不同。他们是非常强大的存在，无需神谕就能创造自己的领域，因此被认为是极其危险的。

男性和女性的皮提亚之间存在一些区别。男性被称为“弗雷”，在他们的脸的每一侧都有两只狭窄的眼睛，一只在另一只上方，彼此靠近。女性被称为“芙蕾雅”，取而代之的是两只类似人类的眼睛和一只在前额上的大眼睛。一些皮提亚有额外的四肢。

## 皮提亚的种类

* 全球主义者 - 皮提亚人中寻求神谕的力量以将他们的思想彼此统一的人，在其他皮提亚同意或不同意的情况下都会实施。
* 个人主义者——在强烈反对全球主义者的情况下，这些皮提亚希望保持他们的个性，并努力防止自我的丧失。
* The Executioners - Radical and violent Pythias who relentlessly persecuted the Oracle during the second Godhunt, taking countless lives in the process and presumably driving their species to extinction. These Pythias will eagerly attack anyone not directly affiliated with them (wearing Executioner Masks). *Seen only in the Slaughterland.*

## The Oracle Era

What precious little is known about the legacy of the Pythias is revealed through monologues from both the Librarian (Frei) and later Umbrella Man in Hello Charlotte Episode 2. The Pythias enjoyed prosperity in the pre-Oracle era. The emergence of the Oracle proved to be divisive, and war would soon break out between the two major opposing parties; such was the beginning of the first Godhunt, as recounted by Frei. Initially, the Globalists proved too formidable due to their vast numbers, and mass suicides and desertion thinned the ranks of the Individuals even further.

Umbrella Man elaborates further on the pact between the Oracle and its Globalist hosts. As the Globalists themselves didn't fully believe that their wish would be realized, it thus became twisted. Consequently, the process was slow and agonizing — thoughts, feelings, and memories became shared by all hosts without the loss of their sense of selves ("Loss of privacy without loss of ego!" - UM). The Pythias would then denounce the Oracle and retaliated violently against it, which sparked the second Godhunt. The Executioners organized, donning distinct white masks, and brought the Globalists to their knees; Charlotte and Felix arrived in the Slaughterland in the aftermath of this second clash.

## Other Appearances

The Pythias have a cameo appearance in Hello Charlotte: Delirium, found only in The REDRUM. Dr. Huxley was keeping a livestock of them for his experiments, and interacting with them will result in Charlotte being discovered and inevitably killed by the doctor.

The Pythias do not feature at all in Hello Charlotte Episode 3, but are mentioned a few times, most notably in the 6F laboratories. A Pythia appears briefly in the HC3 trailer (found below).

琐事

* In the Book of Truth, Charlotte describes the Pythias as a "Type 4 Civilization". This is linked to The Kardashev Scale, created by the Russian Astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev,who created it as a method of working out how advanced a civilization is by how much energy they have access to.
	+ The original scale did not include Type 4 Civilizations, which was added later after the scale was extended. A Type 4 Civilization would have access to all the energy in their universe.
	+ This may explain why Charlotte believes that Pythias are extremely dangerous.
* According to Umbrella Man, Pythian society managed to successfully embrace communism.
* From Charlotte's perspective, Pythias have red blood.
