Medium
A conduit between the world of the living and the layered worlds of spirits.
Rank 1
1. Why did you become a medium? (rigorous study, natural talent, faith/religion/spirituality or did you even have a choice in the first place... perhaps you just see dead people?)
2. Describe the first time you saw a spirit. (when you were very young? after much training? were you frightened or did you even realized what you saw at the time like an imaginary friend or no one told you your grandfather died years earlier though he kept stopping by?)
3. How do you see spirits/how do they appear to you? (just happens? methodical ritual? magical potions? hazy visions? just voices or feelings?)
4. Beside being a medium, what else are you good at? (hobbies? beautiful singing voice? religious comparative studies?)
5. You uncover a text/scroll of spiritual lore mislabelled in the marketplace/library/temple and while the information looks useful it is of a a vastly different method then you are familiar with. What do you do with it? (study it? destroy it? dismiss it as weak or corrupt, or have a crisis of faith/increased interest as a new ideology takes hold?)
Rank 2
1. Do you possess any other powers beyond spiritual contact? (Clairvoyance/clairaudience/clairsentience, magical spells/tricks, psychic levitation, mind reading, prophesy?)
2. What sort of influence do you have in the spirit world? (can you call upon spirits to help/protect you? must use magic or tricks to get anything done? spirits use you for their own ends? are you a complete fraud and just faking it with chicanery or other magic powers?)
3. Something odd happens to your sistrum or it goes missing under suspicious circumstances. What is going on? (is it possessed? a trick to make you look foolish by another medium? simply stolen by a thief to get your attention?)
4. Do you belong to a group or affiliation? (loose knit group of esoteric occultists? temple of Anubis (underworld), Bastet (war/protection), Isis (life/mysteries), foreign (Hades, Hecate, Baron Samedi, Mictecacihuatl)? shamans or fortune-tellers?)
If not, why? (just a loner? kicked out of a group? you don't play well with others?)
5. You have a powerful encounter/vision/dream with a psychopomp of some sort. (Is it a warning/threat/blessing? Is it of your faith/belief system?)
