𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 ❟

𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 .

Saint’s abilities are derived from a single paracausal source colloquially referred to as chaos / isfet magic. For operational purposes, Saint has voluntarily compartmentalized this source into two mutually exclusive output states for this gimmick created for this incarnation:

State A: Restorative / Generative (hereafter WHITE STATE)

State B: Destructive / Nullifying (hereafter RED STATE)

Only one state may be active at a time. Transition between states is deliberate, observable, and accompanied by measurable environmental and behavioral shifts.

Note: This limitation is self-imposed by Saint themselves for this persona and, so long as he's in it, they're rules they must adhere to. No external enforcement mechanism has been identified.

𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙀 𝘼

COMMON DESIGNATION : White State.

FUNCTION : Healing, preservation, restoration, reversal of damage.

a. 𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚 .

Cellular regeneration (self and others)

Purification of toxins, curses, and foreign energies

Structural repair of organic and inorganic matter

Temporal regression limited to recent harm (injury-state rewind)

Reality stabilization within a localized radius

Shielding, barriers, and warding

Buffing the effects of others abilities (ability dependent) and physical abilities.

creation of completely new things can be achieved.

Saint’s restorative abilities are mediated through a phenomenon known as The Waters ⸻ a luminous, metaphysical medium that interacts with matter at a fundamental level. Healing is efficient and complete, often exceeding baseline biological norms. The dominant color is light, pale iridescent gold. The light manifests as: soft bloom halos, flowing liquid-light patterns, fine particulate glow resembling pollen or dust motes. The Waters appear as weightless streams or sheets of radiant fluid. sometimes refracting light as if viewed through glass. this state is considered purely defensive and takes on a purely supportive role (out of choice, they don't want to continue hurting others). there is a bit of a small speculation that this increased empathy and care is slightly more performative.

Environmental effects:

Ambient light increases subtly.

temperatures may rise in the area to a small degree.

Damage to the surrounding area can appears to “unhappen” rather than mend (but only if it wasn't caused by the red state). there's limitations to what can all be repaired. a couple of walls can easily be rebuilt, even a building can be rebuilt. however, the size of an entire building should be taken into account. a medium to small sized building or house is fixable, but any bigger than that and it's going to strain them considerably.

Observers frequently report the sensation of floating as it can trigger the body's endorphins creating a feeling of euphoria and cleanliness.

b. 𝙥𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 / 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 .

While in White State, Saint exhibits heightened expression of:

Patience

Gentleness

kindness

good natured and giving

Affectionate or reassuring affect

Emotional warmth

Measured, deliberate speech patterns

Notably:

Empathy is high.

Mercy is high.

Clinical interpretation suggests White State foregrounds Saint’s protective, “good” traits.

COMMON DESIGNATION : Red State.

FUNCTION : Annihilation, entropy acceleration, reality disruption.

a. 𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚 .

Matter erasure at subatomic and conceptual levels.

Spatial collapse and localized non-existence.

Energy inversion and forced entropy.

Reality destabilization and rewriting.

Destruction of metaphysical constructs (wards, souls, bindings).

absorption of vitality and energy.

yes, bad luck and cursing is a thing.

Destruction does not manifest as explosion or force unless desired. Most effects occur as absence, collapse, or sudden negation. Objects and entities are not “broken.” They are rendered non-existent and therefore cannot actually be fixed. The dominant color is dark crimson and black void tones. the visual effects include: as light absorption rather than a true emission, red-black fracturing along edges of space, flickering void-like distortions. The energy manifests as dense, gravitational shadows and veins of red light that can resemble cracks (or more like in Saint's case lightning).

Environmental effects:

Sound dampening or complete silence.

Temperature drop or heat distortions that can be warped into shadow illusions of a kind.

Surfaces appear to thin or peel away from existence.

Observers often report a prickling unease, even in the absence of overt violence, and often report the feeling of being observed. and sometimes, they say they feel as though they may be feeling influenced.

b. 𝙥𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 / 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 .

While in Red State, Saint exhibits heightened expression of:

Bluntness

Cruel humor

Predatory focus

Impulsivity

playful

seductive & licentious

Emotional honesty without restraint

Hints of burgeoning sociopathy

Notably:

Compassion is often easily cast aside or is completely absent.

Restraint becomes conditional

Saint appears more amused, more curious, and less invested in outcomes.

This state foregrounds Saint’s chaotic, destructive, and inquisitive traits, their “bad” traits, with a marked reduction in performative civility. though this true, any empathy, care, or closeness shown is genuine and they display a deep loyalty when they do.

Switching between states is voluntary and immediate. It's visually obvious when they're using their abilities that it's easier to differentiate based on personality as well. observable Indicators: sudden color inversion across all active effects, brief destabilization of ambient reality, momentary overlap where both palettes are visible (rare, discouraged), behavioral changes occur simultaneously with visual shifts, no lag between has really been observed. some shared abilities (very few) do include some telepathy, extrasensory perception, telekinetic force, short range teleportation, flying, and transmutation for different reasons and different effects.

Personnel are advised to reassess engagement protocols and managerial style immediately upon transition. one must note that the dispatcher cannot control which one will appear at all times and therefore should adjust based on those variables.

The patient appeared without warning at a city hospital entrance, dragging the critically injured body of an unidentified civilian. Initial examination of the victim suggested a mauling consistent with a large predatory animal. When questioned, the patient calmly claimed responsibility. The patient’s demeanor was notably serene. They smiled throughout the exchange and began humming softly before releasing the victim onto the floor. In full view of staff, the patient proceeded to reverse all visible damage. Extensive trauma ⸻ lacerations, crushed bone, internal bleeding ⸻ was fully healed within seconds.

Following this, the patient voluntarily surrendered themself, requesting that their hands be bound “for everyone’s peace of mind,” stating that restraints were largely symbolic but would likely be appreciated later. They offered no resistance. When the victim later regained consciousness, hospital personnel obtained a detailed account of events preceding the incident.

According to the victim, the patient had been apprehended by police earlier that day for the theft of a pair of leather Givenchy ankle boots, the same blood-soaked footwear the patient was still wearing upon arrival at the hospital. During the attempted detainment, an officer reached for the shoes. At that moment, the patient’s demeanor reportedly shifted. The victim described the scene as immediate and catastrophic. One officer vanished in what was described as a “fine red mist.” A registered hero on-site attempted de-escalation and was briefly successful until another officer discharged their weapon at the patient. The patient responded by collapsing the entire structure, burying law enforcement and civilians alike beneath the store.

The victim survived only because the patient retrieved them from beneath the rubble. When questioned as to why they had been spared, the victim reported the patient’s explanation verbatim: the patient had “needed a sidekick,” someone to witness their greatness and to observe how “fuckin’ awesome these shits look when I do my thing.” The victim was forcibly dragged along for the remainder of the patient’s citywide rampage. The patient made plans aloud for future acts of destruction, assuring the victim that they were “gonna have fun.” No consideration was given to the victim’s injuries or consent. After prolonged exposure to violence, blood loss, and extreme stress, the victim lost consciousness.

That is the last event the victim recalls.

The victim remains unaware of why they were transported alongside the patient to the psychiatric ward. According to the patient, they experienced a sudden desire to submit themself for judgment and evaluation. The patient was tried in court; however, psychiatric evaluations ruled in favor of insanity and instability directly caused by the patient’s anomalous abilities. The court determined that the defendant could not be held legally responsible for their actions or the resulting damages.

The patient, now formally identified as one Saint Cyr, was remanded to Sacred Heights Mental Institution, a privately owned, Christian-affiliated facility. While under institutional care, Saint was subjected to a series of unconventional tests and treatments. The facility’s owner became convinced that Saint was a fallen angel undergoing spiritual trial, interpreting behavioral volatility as the result of demonic interference attempting to “darken the halo.”

In reality, the man's deteriorating mental state was the result of prolonged exposure to destructive output conditions and deliberate psychological degradation imposed by Saint, themselves.

Saint was later released on a temporary basis into the Phoenix Program, officially as a monitored rehabilitation trial. Unofficially, containment specialists concluded that Saint was becoming restless, and that continued confinement carried an unacceptable risk: should Saint choose to escape, reacquisition would likely prove impossible.

Hero deployment was assessed as the lesser threat.
