Jeremiah Scripture is a Teragen-aligned Nova. He is a member of the Pantheon, as well as Michael Daemon Donighal's partner.[1][2]
Abilities[]
Jeremiah Scripture's abilities center around communication. He understands human language with perfect clarity; can discern a person's true character; and can see through lies. He is capable of "circumvent[ing] intrusive conversations and deceiv[ing] mental probes."[3]
He is able to understand the "sentiment and emotional content" behind animal speech and, by concentrating, can extend his translation abilities to animals as well.[4] Scripture is able to command animals and people within earshot to follow his orders and claims, in moments of deep concentration, to hear the voices of life itself.
Scripture's control extends even further, however, having demonstrated an ability to alter signals in the brains of others -- using this power to force others to speak in tongues, be struck blind, or suffer cardiac arrest.
Jeremiah's power of communication is so complete that it extends to the carrier media: light and air. His enemies have been known to "spontaneously fall to ashes, even at a distance of several miles."[5]
Personality[]
Little is known of Scripture's life before his eruption and the history of his relationship with Divis Mal is a point of much speculation.
Scripture believes novas to be "the newest avatars of God --- angels with souls"[6] and advocates a "wholly religious focus for Terats." The stance often puts him at odds with other, more practically-members of the Pantheon, including the Mathematician, though Scripture "bears no malice toward any Terat" as he "understands all differing points of view." [7]
Following Mal's most recent chrysalis in 2006[8], Scripture began to take a more active role in the workings of the Teragen, serving as mediator in disputes.
