Parselings
Manifestations of Identity
Humans who have survived the infection of a Parsecyte, defined by how the world perceives them. However, you will only see a Parseling’s full definition when their ink blends in with others of their kind. In almost all cases, a person must encounter an ink-like parasitic creature known as a Parsecyte in order to sense and use Parses. Through reaching a symbiotic relationship, creatures with a developed sense of language may become a Parseling. From the point of their rebirth, Parselings feel the urge to gather with others of their kind, to immerse themselves in otherwise inaccessible worlds. In contrast, the Parsecyte demands consistency and constants in aspects of personality and self identity. They require fidelity at all times from the Parseling to their specific words. Survival of both body and mind requires balance, knowing when to keep true to one’s self, and when to accept new ideas into themselves. Should they lean too far in either direction, they will find themselves becoming unrecognisable parodies of who they once were.Remove these ads. Join the Worldbuilders Guild
