Lotte Alegría

One of the more modern Priests of the Egyptian God Thoth and one of the youngest to gain the title of "Scribe of Divine Offerings". Alongside his dedication to his god he lacks certain social skills and understanding of social cues which doesn't stop him from trying his best to spread Thoth's.

## Overview

Lotte is a High Priest of Thoth and due to such a weighty title he gains more from his usual forms of worship along with being rewarded if he were to try and study new fields of Practice or skills. This is exemplified when he attempted to break into Technomancy as a way to better transcribe texts for his God. However, due to the domains of Thoth and the style of worship that Lotte does, most of his spells and Practice requires a rather large amount of prep time. Any spells or prayers would need to be done beforehand with the proper clothing. Due to this Thoth could be considered a fickle god for some but for his worshipers it is a logical conclusion for a god of wisdom, who wouldn't want to give favor to those who are impulsive or short sighted.

Despite Lotte's worship not being aimed towards the combative it does not mean the gifts or blessings he receives from Thoth are fragile or short lived. They are rather the opposite, generally being long lived and incapable of being dispelled without a lot of resources being lost.

In the town that Lotte currently resides he has a semi-large presence in specific areas such as libraries and graveyards. He has permission to wander the grounds of the latter at night to take note and monitor the spirits or echoes that remained. Once he collects the data he will make contact with a local Psychopomp so said Others can be taken care of. At the local libraries he's known for donating many books and replacing older ones with newer ones. However, all this "clout" he has obtained was due to his predecessor and the previous "Scribe of Divine Offerings"

## Appearance

Lotte is a teenager with little muscle and a rather pale complexion due to the nature of his activities. He could be described as slightly pretty in terms of his face. This is enforced by his pale blue eyes which are usually seen paired with reading glasses.

Originally Lotte had strawberry blonde but as he became a Priest he dyed it with multiple blue-green streaks to show his worship of his god in a more subtle but open way. Lotte's sense of fashion tends to favor what is more comfortable over what is fashionable. Sometimes he could be found in pajamas while on a job outside of his house.

## Abilities

Being a priest, Lotte's main source of power comes from the different actions, appeals and offerings he provides to his god. In exchange his god, Thoth, gives him favors, boons or gifts to help aid him. Lotte's main form of worship is transcribing magic tomes, grimoires or any sort of magical texts into special books provided by his god. However, lately he has been breaking into PDFs and using a more modern way to transcribe said books online.

These newly transcribed books hold small bits of Thoth's knowledge and power allowing the god to gain power from those who use these new books for their Practice. Once done transcribing Lotte will offer the knowledge of the book to Thoth, causing said previous books to become empty of all word and power.

To keep track of his god's "moods" he has tattooed multiple blue lotuses across his arms. These flowers change and shift depending on how Thoth feels towards Lotte. With this system to measure his god's good will towards him Lotte is able roughly guess how many favors he can ask for or if he needs to work harder on forms of worship.

### Responsibilities

Due to Lotte's worship focusing mainly on the aspects of Thoth that were worshiped by scribes and writers, he has a few responsibilities he upholds to create a pattern that his god will look on favorably. A few of these are:

* Record Keeping

* Transcribing texts

* Keeping track of local spirits and echoes

* Contacting local Psychopomps if any spirits need to be extracted

* Protecting places of knowledge

* Taking care of Tris

* Mummifying any dead Ibis and Baboons found.

### Gifts

* **Compencations**: One of the first gifts given to Lotte by Thoth was a writing reed. It is used mostly to help out Lotte with his transcription of texts. However, the real ability behind it is that it causes the text written to become much more complicated to understand. An example of this would be when Lotte first tried out the pen. An example of complicated text was when Lotte attempted to use it to fill out a homework sheet. The end result was this: "The removal of 5 from the first number of the square root of 49 added to the sixteenth of 32 equals the amount of times 64 goes into 256".

* **Trismegistus**: Trismegistus or for short *Tris* is an Ibis that was gifted to Lotte so as to test how well he can handle more responsibility before becoming a high priest or so Lotte assumes. It is currently unknown the capabilities of Tris are outside of being abnormally intelligent for what is seemingly an ordinary Ibis.

## Trivia

* Lotte generally purchases mystery novels for Tris.

* Lotte's current living space was his ex-mentor's own before their passing.
