Chaos-Touched
The Chaos-Touched are the people that were born during, or immediately after, the event known as "The Scarring". Because of this they sometimes are referred to as "The Scarred". They exhibit a wide array of powers and abilities.
Origin
Scholars theorize that "The Scarring" tore through multiple planes which momentarily exposed the Material Plane to many different energies. People born during that time now show powers associated with one of those planes. Choas-Touched also appear when a pregnant person spends a lot of time near "The Scar" or gives birth in its immediate vicinity. The only lasting effect of "The Scarring", besides the Chaos-Touched, is the multiple kilometer long wall of fire that stretches across the southern parts of the Astorian Empire. Since this area, aptly named "The Scar", is of abyssal influence, most Chaos-Touched exhibit the traits shown by tieflings. There has been no research into the matter of it being inheritable.Symptoms
Symptoms vary wildly, though all have a correlation with one of the planes. A person touched by the energy of the water plane might be able to breathe water. One influenced by The Nightingale's Forest might have an affinity for the dark as well as musical arts. There are no reports of Chaos-Touched from continents other than Astoria.Known Chaos-Touched
Chione Amari - The monk was born the night following "The Scarring". Her abilities are passive and not very strong. The exposure to the divine realm of The Warrior granted her aptitude with all manner of weapons.
