The Augur, Providence is an android clown made from amusement pier androids and other miscellaneous parts. Her character concept is "what if the Maiden in Black from Demon's Souls was an android clown". She is a void person, formerly a level-up character in a video game, who was summoned and embodied by a digital witch.
In the Live "Dream Askew" she was suggested to either be or have been made by a pessimistic queer theorist.
Her gender is predestined.
Appearance
She is biracial and looks like the third wave feminist Rebecca Walker.
Her torso is from the fortune-telling androids, her legs from acrobats, and her face and arms from clowns. Her eyes flicker like the warming and cooling of light bulbs. She wears clothing with striking colours and sigils, and clown face paint on half her face.
In "Dream Askew", her clothes are tattered, having been cut from the robotic clown costume, with the arms of her clothing baggy enough that they hang down so that the sigils on her flesh/machinery arms are visible (factory seals, barcodes, etc.).
Personality
She is able to provide guidance and information, although her perspective sometimes makes her feel separate from the others in Bluffington Beach. She believes that a looming threat faces Bluffington Beach ("Hope and mischief are fires that we must keep ever burning, or we will face eternal darkness").
Relationships
She has a number of 'students', people (like Already) who go to her for advice on going into or coming from the world past the commune.
Robyn
She has a full body manikin that looks like her, with broken wooden organs inside the chest, which she found in a storage room at the bottom of an escalator. She has asked Robyn to fix it for her.
In "Dream Askew" she was described as having an old reel-to-reel containing notes from her creator which she had not yet asked Robyn to fix, but this was discarded.
Samantha
She and Samantha were dating, but their break-up took up the end of the Live character creation episode. In the process, the Augur, Providence unfairly accused Samantha of using her role at her bar as a chance for personal gain. Both concluded that their attention was too split by their busy, socially complex roles in the community for them to date. Since it was not transcribed at the time of recording "Give Way to Open Sky", the cast suggested this conversation was caught in the 'dream' of the Bluff-Blough-Bluffington alternate timelines.
Abilities
- Close reading of the holy texts (technical expertise)
- Tripping the circuit (keeping electricity on)
- Whenever someone participates in one of your rituals for the first time, they get a token.
