Incarnate

1. A special archetype concept which was never developed fully. Currently, the only four characters in the game to date to have Incarnate powers are Statesman, Lord Recluse, Stheno, and possibly Trapdoor.

Incarnates are ordinary humans, said to have drunk from the Fountain of Zeus at the Well of the Furies, empowering the drinker with the powers of the gods themselves.
