1. Insatiable curiosities about everything, but most specifically that which is involved with their deities. They provide much teaching and knowledge to the rest of the guild, researching a topic that is unknown to all and providing all with the information in order to educate the entire guild. This also drives them to adventure quite often and partake in many many quests just to learn what they may.
2. They discover what is unknown, and this translates into creative roleplaying which involves the uncovering of new knowledge. This can involve the gods or not, but it will nearly always either start off a new storyline, or add flavor and development to an old one. Mystics are therefore avid creators of the guild storylines, and work to create new events or roleplaying themes that the guild may incorporate.
3. Encourage and develop the sciences and arts of magick. This means that the Mystics watch over the trades of Spellcrafting and Alchemy and try to develop them to the greatest capacities possible. They need not undertake them themselves, but encourage and help those who do. They are also charged with coming to the Council of Avatars with knowledge on what needs to be done by the guild in order to develop these skills to the fullest potential.
4. Thirst for adventure, and the excitement of what the unknown brings. Mystics tend to be very willing to do just about anything as they never know what it might lead to. Many serve in the Realmwars and in the adventures of the realm for just this reason. They also find enemy magicks incredibly interesting, and learn all they can about them so they might understand them better. They also may teach others in the guild, especially the Targes and Paganslayers how best to avoid or protect themselves from this enemy magick.
The Mystic Avatar is the embodiment of the quest to possess and control the powers of the divine. They seek answers to the questions of history, and the knowledge that would lead them to great truths. No problem or mystery is beneath the attention of the Mystics who, through their endless investigations and delvings for knowledge, increase the power and quality of all Pantheon.
In addition to the traits and responsibilities specific to the Mystic Avatar, they are bound by the guidelines for all Avatars. More on this can be found by following the path to the Role of the Avatar.
