Name: Videntis
Nickname: Viden or “Vi” (V-eye).
Age: ~2816, though his physical age changes with every lifetime.

Gender: Male
Species: Personification; The Priestess.
Subject/Work: Healer for Starlight Academy.
Appearance Description:
Videntis changes form based on his reincarnation at the time.
His current incarnation appears to be in his middle twenties, standing at six feet with darker olive skin that has cool undertones. With an oval facial shape, he has a sharp jawline and higher cheekbones. Under long eyelashes are electric blue eyes, the seeming constant between his different incarnations. His stark black hair is longer in this lifetime, reaching down to the back of his neck and down to his chin though he often keeps it pulled back with a small ribbon. His bangs are longer, brushing against his face at rather inconvenient times but he tries to occasionally keep them out of the way for important work with clips. On his ears, he has a standard piercing and a helix piercing on both ears.
Often, he wears fitted tee shirts or tailored dress shirts, with either a loose blazer or open sweater. Vindentis’s pants are well tailored slacks when he is on duty, but he swaps for jeans when he is in a casual environment. Generally his color palette for clothes range from shades of blue, whites, and blacks.
Personality Description:
Videntis is a very polite man, having grown up in many centuries and cultures. He is extraordinarily confident in his abilities and his intelligence, not only with his own magic but with much of the world around him. Even as he moves throughout the centuries, he finds is fascinating to learn more and more about cultures and history - and how it has been portrayed throughout the years. Videntis finds pleasure in talking with many people, observing and analyzing not only them as people but their insights and experiences with the world around them. Videntis treats everyone with a good amount of respect, viewing people on a neutral stance until they prove themselves to either be a positive influence or a negative one. Videntis works on intuition - whether or not it is right is up for debate.
Even if he does not like someone, he attempts to treat them with respect. Still, his anger is much more subtle, with silent looks or small tweaks in his words and tone that make them sharper and more threatening. It starts more subtle until he reaches the end of his patience. Videntis is cruel when he gets his revenge, having no care for people who do bad by others on purpose. He believe’s he’s more knowledgeable and therefore more well prepared than those around him… even if he is out of the loop on much of the newest advances. After all, the world is in a continuous evolving state, he can’t keep up like he used to. Videntis often cannot help himself when he analyzes other people, some of the observations tumbling out of his mouth before he can stop them - It’s apart of his card, and it’s not always helpful.
Worst Memory: Fall of Rome.
Best Memory: His first time in India during the Festival of Lights - Diwali.

Biography:
Videntis was created when the first Oracle was blessed with the gift of prophecy. He, like many others, was born as a card crafted by the God of Prophecies -who is named by the Human race as Apollo. He spoke only to the Oracle and the followers of the God of Prophecy in the beginning, having no other mentality to do much else. Through generations, he was passed from Oracle to Oracle, shuffled away in a deck of cards held by the speaker for the God.
But there was an Oracle, who felt the cards could only give so much insight in these forms. They were limited to only the world that the Oracle knew and what their paths had given them. So, the Oracle gathered many corpses of those who would go unnoticed and found a Priestess of the Goddess of Magic. They worked together, allowing the Tarot Cards to move their so called spirits into the bodies. The Priestess of the Goddess of Magic taught them how to control the magic already born with them, and how to use it to create their forms. Their bodies were reused for their matter, and the first incarnation of each card was born.
They traveled. And traveled. And traveled. And traveled the world, with each and every Oracle as they were called. Soon, people began to find a new hope in a new religion, so the True Oracle was lost to time. They knew their God was upset with humanity, and would find a way to get humans back on the side of magic some day. The Oracle spoke for the God, allowing the Tarot Cards to wander Earth and preach of the God of Prophecies, and to learn more of the human world as to better use their methods to bring them back from their strayed path.
Videntis went through many lifetimes, often as a woman as his card represented. He learned very little in many cultures, as women had been limited. There were years where he spent studying in an attempt to find out what was different between a human male form and a human female form - and how he could change it. With time and several rather horrifying failures, Videntis managed to find himself in a new body - a new male body that would grant him more freedom than his previous ones.
Videntis had heard of the Academy a lifetime (or several? He could not keep track anymore.) ago, and decided that it was a fantastic place to be. With all of the other creations of the gods that varied from the humans he had spent so long with, he saw it as a new change of pace. And what better way to learn about the new world than with the youth who would one day lead it? They seemed rather low on healers, and with his ability, he found it the perfect opportunity to apply. Videntis still walks the Earth in his male form with an eagerness to learn and to spread the word of faith in the God of Prophecies.

- Aura Sense/Reading - Videntis can perceive auras, normally invisible fields of energy that surround every living thing, this can be used to sense emotions, health, or power levels. Videntis can only read them, not manipulate them.
- Cartomancy - Through using tarot cards, Videntis channels his divination through cards to predict a path of the future. However, since the future is entirely dependent on the behavior of the individual - it is only one possible path. If they change their behavior, the outcome may be completely different.
Species Abilities:
- Reincarnation - All Personified Tarot Cards have a human form. To maintain equilibrium in the world, they must also go through a similar life cycle. From the matter of their old body, they must create a new one so they too can walk the Earth. However the more serious damage to their previous body, the more time it can take to create a new form. It can take up to a year without help from other Tarot Cards.
- Telepathy - Tarot Cards must be able to be aware of the world and people around them, particularly card users. They use telepathy only to communicate to other Tarot Cards.
