The Soul-Made-Flesh

Form is the manifestation of Identity.

Core Concept

The Calligraphers consciously write their identity onto their bodies. For the Eidomorphs, the process is reversed and unconscious: their internal narrative state involuntarily manifests as their physical form. Their body is a living symptom of their soul.

Physiology & Biology

A highly psionically-receptive biology. An Eidomorph’s physical structure is directly and uncontrollably influenced by the dominant Eidos they accumulate. Their form is a literal, physical confession.

Psychology & Society (Faith / Fiction)

Core Faith: They believe that physical appearance is the ultimate measure of a person’s inner truth. They are a society without secrets, where one’s sins and virtues are worn on their sleeve, for all to see.

Core Fiction: They tell stories of “The Grey,” a mythical state of being where an Eidomorph achieves perfect inner balance and their form becomes a neutral, featureless baseline—a state of profound peace or terrifying emptiness, depending on the telling.

Gameplay Hooks & Tensions

This offers a unique, emergent form of character progression. An Incarnation who lives a life of Violence might grow claws or armored plates. An Incarnation defined by the Eidos of [betrayal] might find their eyes becoming shifty and their shadow unnaturally long.

The core conflict is the struggle to reconcile one’s desired self-image with the physical reality of one’s actions. The only way to change your appearance is to genuinely change your behavior and, therefore, your accumulated Eidos.
