Esper

In the ancient days, all celestial bodies were nothing more than stars floating in the night sky. That was until one night, the gates of Eternity opened and the “Mirror Incident” occurred. The “Mirror Star” fell from the heavens, and brightened the night with an unholy illumination. That night, the Northern city of Pandaemonium was destroyed in waves of celestial fire, cataclysmic earthquakes, and flooding from the Chaos Sea, beyond.

The remains of the Mirror Star now pollute the northern lands with magical radiation, mutating those near it into “Espers,” who are distinguished by magical runes that cover their bodies.  

Espers are magically mutated beings from the “Mirror Incident” and the star that fell too far away to kill them, but near enough to forever alter them. Espers have great magical power, which causes them to glow with an arcane aura. To survive, Espers need magic from the Mirror Star as a form of sustenance, which they can gain through osmosis even at great distances. For an Esper to be too close or too far away from the star, for too long, is detrimental to their health.

One with the heavens, Espers forever seek answers to who and what they are, as descendants of a great celestial body.
