Phabet
Sylvari / Necromancer (He / They)
Phabet struggled most of their youth to accept their status as a Necromancer.
They saw death manipulation as something inherently wrong, and thought of it as a curse.
They are heavily specialized in invocations, and despite being fairly good in summoning both flesh and soul, can only invoke those of beings that have been forgotten from the living world. If somewhere, a memory of a being still lives on, Phabet won’t have the ability to invoke it. Even though it is uncertain, this particularity is probably due to the awkward relationship they had with their powers for a long time, making them eventually evolve in such a specific way.
One of their earlier complete invocations was a centaur by the name of So:òph, a sage druid from an ancient, extinct tribe living in autarky.
During the short time of his momentary resurrection, the centaur quickly took the role of a mentor for Phabet. He helped them not only to understand their power, but also to accept them as part of themself. He taught Phabet that Death wasn’t ‘wrong’, just as light and darkness weren’t ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Deeply, it helped Phabet understand that, no matter the abilities that were given to them, they were the only one to decide how they would use them.
Still today, So:òph holds a dear and profound place in their heart, even though they know that, by remembering him, they prevent themself to ever have the chance to see him again.
Phabet is a pretty shy person, but it is often mistaken for a high self-esteem as well as standards. This is mostly due to the fact that they took some of So:òph’s noble and archaic manners over the time, showing how high they regard him (which can lead to quite awkward social interactions).
They dress up in white and gold, their favorite colors, and use violet tints and royal blue from time to time. This increases the “high standards” impression they will often leave on others?
Phabet spends more time talking with their invocations than with living beings. They are quite socially awkward but extremely cultivated, and could certainly spend hours talking to you about death, life, balance and necromancy, things they grew up very passionate about after So:òph’s teachings.
