Mortal (AOS)

Mortals make up the bulk of the population of Creation. They have no access to Essence nor any natural ability to manipulate or sense it, though they may study thaumaturgy or learn certain Charms to gain that ability. They do the daily work of living and dying, provided the backdrop against which gods and Exalts contend for power.

Some mortals qualify as heroic due to their incredible skill, luck or resolve. They have some significance in the Loom of Fate, and the most capable may content with a newly Exalted.

A mortal may become one parent of a God-Blooded or Half-Caste child.
