Tale of Diep:Victit the High Prophet

''The High Prophet of Paradigm Dunes, Victit is one of the most interesting entities within The Realm. What was once a formidable warrior with a stern sense of valor, if with a bit of an inferiority complex, was reduced to nothing but a shell of that. No one knows the events within Victit's life that changed him into what he is... but what is known, is that his mind has split. Victit has two personalities, each stemmed from his past, a rather tragic one, combined with his sense of inferiority not just compared to his superiors, nor even his fellow High Prophets, but to tank kind as a whole. He views himself lesser than just about any being that walks the Realm, undeserving of love, or care, or even resources necessary to survive. And so his second, more dominant personality developed, to survive, and act as a superior to the crumbled and hollow Victit, making sure he never dies to his own self hatred, and assuming control over it to do so. But little has this helped, and if anything, just makes Victit beat himself up more... Nonetheless, his loyalty to Panzer is unwavering, but he still questions the wrongs done his name. His dominant personality shrugs it off, trying to stay in control.''

Overview
Victit is one of the six High Prophets of the. Every region of influenced by the Cult has one, and he is the High Prophet of Paradigm Dunes. Victit is odd to serve under or for, but is nonetheless relatively normal when in a social setting, or around others. Few know of his personality disorder, or of his troubled past, and it never really shines through to the public. When it comes to work, Victit is an admirer of valor, courage, and honesty. He himself administers the first two traits, but refuses to admit or accept that deep down, he has a problem. Victit sees himself as still whole, but really he has snapped and doesn't know it.

Victit fights with a long spear-like weapon called the Valiance Skewer, and a weapon of many barrels in the form of a bow-like weapon called the Phoenix Array. It takes the form of a large, almost metallic gauntlet he wears on his right (players see it as his left) hand. Meanwhile, he can too summon Valiance Artifacts to his aid.

Victit, relative to the rest of the High Prophet council, receives very little respect. And most of them do not even know about his disorder. It is not their job to. The High Prophet council is not about being great friends and working together, it's about discussing the important matters. The knows about Victit's problem, but does not acknowledge it publicly out of respect for him, and is sympathetic, as the Archprophet himself too has some problems and questioning of his own life. Gaius does not take Victit seriously, also tipped slightly off to the fact that his second personality exists, fearing it may be scaring him into making decisions. Timidis, being the High Prophet of Shattered Coast, has to deal with Victit and his bouts a lot, but is always there to help due to her nature. She is one of the few people he could call a friend, if he believed he deserved any. Locke, being the iron and silent gate, doesn't really care and instead keeps his best interests in Neverest. despises Victit without any rhyme or reason, and even without knowledge his decisions would be irrational at all due to his condition.

Personality
Victit is a man of two minds. Before his tides were to change, Victit was a lovable yet stern leader of men, who valued honor and valor above all else. And to this day he still does, yet he doesn't believe he has anything anymore. Victit had always had an inferiority complex, but never to the degree of what it is now. It is unknown what made Victit snap, but it is so deeply rooted into something that happened to him that he shut himself away for a long time.

Victit became convinced he was such a waste of life, presence, and existence that he could not cope healthily. Victit made himself believe he was lesser than every being in The Realm, that anything should be valued more than him. Constantly had Victit been told that he was a powerful, feared, respected, and exceptional leader, but he always believed they were just lies, worn like masks to his face to hide how people really felt. Victit trusted nothing. Victit still trusts nothing, not even the Veridicus meant to be "The Truthful" beneath him. Victit only believes in Panzer, but also that he could never be worthy enough to reach his grace and approval because that's just how lowly he viewed himself. He was certain he could never be happy. Victit locked himself away, and deprived himself of everything necessary to life for a long time. He lost connections, he lost his way, and he lost himself.

It was not too long before his second personality formed. It is the master personality, in that it keeps Victit in line, while bullying him into doing so. It developed to keep him alive, as Victit was inflicting nothing but harm to himself. If he was to survive, he needed a leg to stand on, which would too act as his sense of reason. This dominant personality never stopped though, and harasses the scared and hollow Victit into doing things he may not want to. His experiences here have made him question if all the death, pain, and anguish has all been for the best, but now his dominant side has forced him too deep in to turn back, saying that nothing done in the name of and for Panzer is the wrong decision. And so it guides him down a dark path from which it is almost certain he will never recover.

Trivia

 * Second of the High Prophet pages to be created, following.
 * The idea for him stemmed from a discussion about Polygon Paramarchs in Discord. Graviatar believed one of Diepmon's concepts was four minds in one body, when it really was one mind spread across four bodies. I took the former and created Victit, who only has two.
 * The more quiet and questioning Victit in his opening dialogue is the real him, if broken by his years of self-convinced inferiority. That is the bolded text.
 * Victit Values Valor (VVV).
