Redacted was a player character in the main Crossworlds campaign. Following his Test of the Starstone, he became the patron of natural forces, mischief, satisfaction, and freedom.

## History

Redacted was found in a carrot patch in Paulisper, abandoned by his biological parents. His adoptive parents took him in, along with a few other children. Growing up, Redacted was well-loved but very much a middle child. He became loud and performative to gain attention.

He left home in a struggle with his identity and in an attempt to find where he belonged in the Crossworlds. He traveled as a tour guide, helping tourists explore the less hospitable terrains of the world. His travels led him back to Paulisper, escorting two refugees after their doorway closed unexpectedly. There, he met the rest of the establishing party. He agreed to escort them back to Refersi, and continued to travel with them.

At their first meeting with Luka Novikov, Redacted asked him out. The two went on a date, where they discussed their idea of belonging in their given lives. In the same week, the party was approached by Killian Foy. After their first meeting, Redacted stayed behind to have a few drinks with Killian, and was escorted back by Mairi (though he never discovered that it was her).

When the party met with Spectre, Redacted attempted to follow him. After a short fight, Spectre commanded Redacted to "*go home.*" However, due to the skill's technicalities, Redacted followed the command to Spectre's home--the Refersi palace. He raced back to the rest of the party's inn room to tell them.

In Cantelina, the party ran into Cardea Xoti, Dirt's druidic creator. Redacted fished for information on his behalf and discovered that Dirt was originally made as a subject for poison experiments. After conferring with Pandora, he decided to tell Dirt.

In dreams, Redacted visited the Theatre of Arrival, the sacred space for every deity in the Porphyra pantheon. Nise scolded him and the rest of the party--but especially Dirt. He also summoned Paletius, who was definitely sleeping (as he tends to).

Back in Cantilena, Dirt and Redacted worked together to stop Cardea’s work. After discovering Cardea's hey snuck in to steal a holy text that is important to her. Instead, Cardea's deity intercepted them and offered to take away Cardea’s divine casting, so long as they left the holy text alone. They accepted.

In Kritya, Redacted kept Ivy company while the rest of the party found out the secret behind the doorways and decided on the best way to tell her. They started planting a garden together, building their relationship. When the Test of the Starstone became a viable option, Redacted jumped on board immediately.

Redacted's individual test of will seemed open world at first. He wandered the Crossworlds using fast travel mechanics, and was allowed to talk to anyone and everyone he had ever met in his travels. He was also encouraged to ask how they felt about him, receiving a (potentially) honest result--no matter how harsh. He ended up confronting Killian Foy twice, the second time declaring himself proudly as a pain in the ass no matter what.

After gaining divinity and returning to Capua Tor, he suggested that they throw a party to celebrate and spread the word. At this party, after initially finding Mairi, he brought her over to smoke with a group of party-goers after Tairin showed her Abaddon.

Following the final battle, Redacted traveled throughout the Crossworlds and established various smaller towns, each by a name he previously went by. These towns remain sacred areas to him.
