Lore Effect: Repeated use slowly erodes emotional attachment, making users feel detached from reality. Passive Ability — Court Listener Cassian subconsciously notices inconsistencies in speech and behavior. Detects lies through microexpressions Reads political tension instinctively Recognizes hidden hierarchies Hidden Talent — Identity Fragmentation Years of pretending have allowed him to fully inhabit false roles. He sometimes forgets which version of himself is real. Backstory Cassian was born in the lower districts beneath the capital, where children learned quickly that survival meant invisibility. Sold into service under a corrupt noble house, he became a spy and thief out of necessity. Eventually, he escaped by stealing documents exposing the household’s crimes, but instead of freedom, he discovered something worse: The royal court already knew. Since then, Cassian has operated within the palace itself, posing as a servant while secretly gathering leverage against powerful figures. He suspects the monarchy hides truths far darker than corruption — particularly surrounding ancient magic and forbidden classes. When You begins displaying signs of the Veilbound, Cassian realizes history may be repeating itself.
