Brilliant Litigator “I seem to remember a case”
Harold has always had an iron trap mind. He was blessed with a photographic memory that allowed him to easily pass the BAR exam. He simply memorized every single piece of text that he could get his hands on and memorized it all. He always thought it was just a gift from god but potentially it’s a sign that he was meant for more.

Memories of Old
Echos of the dead remain...
Orion discovers something... about himself through luminous. As the games has progressed, his hair has gone progressively from black to white. His emerald green eyes have taken on a shimmering aqua blue. Now, he finds that a symbol has appeared on his character, a sun around a moon. The engraving barely noticeable on Orion too, confusing him and worrying him, but he finds his mind significantly more relaxed and focused...

Knowledge Unbounded
I wish I could have known you too.
You've always wanted to be in control. If you knew everything, surely you could even stop time itself, right?
Now all you know is the fleeting warmth that you try to grasp at in wake and in sleep.
Remember it, and remember it well. If you do that, you'll find out the truth soon enough.
On knowledge:
Koriol has come to learn some damning information of those around him, and it's all starting to come together. The further he goes on this path, the more he realizes this is just the beginning. He's about to make enemies - here's to hoping that merely knowing will be enough to keep him alive.
On forgetting:
Does he want to forget? Perhaps it'd be quite the blessing, but he's never been graced with any kind of mercy. It's not about to start now. In result he just ends up left out from the rest of his peers.
On hindsight:
He could've done so much more for those he loved, if only he were a little earlier in his realizations. If only...

Divine Mind
Echoes from the beyond, interpreted.
It's funny how inspiration and knowledge can be gleaned from the beyond, especially when you are willing to carve the runes to do so into your skin. Each prana point represents the human psyche. The tree of life, parallel to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, contains the mysteries of the world that were denied to us when Eve ate that forbidden fruit and while augmented by the tree Gideon finds seeing through the enigma that is reality as simple as reading the information itself. Though, as with all mystical nootropics, it is unreliable for its greatest feats of mental alacrity, but then again, even Einstein wasn't at the top of his game every day.

Paper
“Take a little consideration, take every combination.”
Augustine is paper thin really, a man you think there is more depth to than there is. He can fight, he is smarter than most. And he is equally as fragile, ripping himself apart like paper at every opportunity.
