Purity

Purity refers to an innate quality possessed by certain individuals in the world of Eumaea. While long ago thought to be an indicator of moral purity, it actually represents a disposition towards greatness as bestowed by the gods, and can be thought of more as purity of conviction. Purity is fickle, and can be acquired or lost by individuals at any time. Some may carry it their entire lives, some may never have it, while others may have it for brief moments. The presence of Purity is nigh-undetectable, so while it is rare to possess this quality, it is even rarer to be aware that one possesses it. All Player Characters possess Purity while a Player is controlling them. If at any point a PC becomes an NPC, they lose their Purity until such time as a Player can actively control them again.
While Purity has little in the way of direct effects, it predisposes its possessors towards extraordinary deeds, be they good, evil, or otherwise. Because of this, most of the big names throughout history have possessed Purity. Furthermore, those touched by Purity are subconsciously drawn to one another, leading equally to powerful alliances or violent clashes.

Manifestation

Purity is often very difficult to detect in others, but is usually obvious in hindsight. Certain high-level divine magics can be used to detect its presence, but otherwise those who possess Purity are completely indistinguishable from those who do not.
Those who have Purity are able to call upon this power (in the form of Hero Points) to perform otherwise impossible deeds. Those with the Sublime Purity Background Trait are able to even revive the dead with this power.
