Anistar Sundial

  Olympia plays a rather secluded part as far as the majority of Kalos goes. She plays two main roles–not including her role as Gym Leader–and it is as the protector of the Sundial and as the Seer for the Champion and other high figures of Kalos. The role of protector partially duals as one of Anistar as well. The city is one of Kalos’ oldest and was built around the grand structure that holds many a secret before it. Roughly 300 years prior to the present, Olympia’s family attained the role as overseer from the family who had previously held it, and despite the intention to lessen the religious implications and influence of the city…The word of the Sundial and the worship of Kalosian deities remains a strong point in it’s foundation. Anistar has been left partially to it’s own devices, albeit more secluded than it used to be no longer a central influence for the entire region and instead keeping to it’s own. It remains Kalos’ center for the most spiritual, the most attuned to the region itself as well as it’s legendaries with a few exceptions. Olympia is no different in this route, she is still quite a firm believer of the previous family’s beliefs–the original beliefs–in that all shall return to the Sundial, all become it, all that ever will be and has been and is are from the grand structure. She is at least publicly far less radical, and there is no ‘church’ this time. 

  Anistar as a whole feels almost unnerving to be around. It is openly quite kind, most people there are generous or overly empathetic. And yet if one is given the time to actually look a little deeper, it is superstitious, it is full of those who do the little things to keep the “demons” away, the horrors unseen. It is a place of the spirits and given those that die will return to the grand quartz within the old city, it is practically consumed with those of the dead, both restless and journeying to the other side. The veil, so the say, is at it’s weakest here, allowing those from the other side to escape if they so desire. Olympia is partially responsible for assuring these other forces do not leak out of Anistar, as although they are welcome within the city, they are far from keen to being allowed elsewhere.        It should be noted that most of the people that live within Anistar city–at least those born there–are capable of seeing those that traverse between the weakened veil, but those traveling there are often incapable of such. That being said there are of course exceptions.

  This exposure to the veil, topped onto Olympia’s already strong psychic connection to the Sundial which allows her future sight, as well as general otherworldly way of acting makes Olympia rather…disconnected from reality. At least from the reality beyond the city she protects and oversees. It would not be incorrect to say she sees the world as little more than a snowglobe that occasionally is shook too hard, or dropped too fast and simply needs to be readjusted and sometimes melded to assure it does not shatter.

she believes herself higher than others, but not in a necessarily...good way. she has been chosen by the sundial, and for that she has a great responsibility. in many ways, olympia lacks a sense of self, she lacks a true sense of humanity because she was raised with the expectation as the guardian of both anistar city as well as the sundial itself.

her psychic abilities push her forward in mind to that. she is capable of clairvoyance, of minor mind reading in the form of reading someone's emotions, of levitation that is enhanced by her partner pokemon. her ability to communicate with the sundial rivals those that she had taken her role from. she is the priest without the title, she is the vessel to the god--the force--of the sundial. in many ways, olympia is not allowed to be human, she must be the benevolent force that watches over kalos. she is behind the scenes, she is the representation of the foundation of the region.
