Present is a Divine of the Divine Principality. Its Elect is Gallica, and it is aligned with the Pact of Necessary Venture.
It has the ability to blink from one location to another, traveling across huge distances in an instant. A journey which would take even the most well-appointed ship of the Principality’s vast fleets a year takes Present only a second. In a world so fractured and large, where distance is felt materially, presence becomes a miracle.
Appearance
Present is capable of transforming between multiple forms. In one form, it is a small, if luxurious, frigate: oval in shape, housing living quarters, a humble armory, enough cargo space to hold a single hollow, and even a fully stocked bar. With a snap of its elect’s fingers, however, it transforms into a humanoid war machine that serves its elect loyally, outclasses any single Hollow or Hallow in operation, and is capable of holding its own against many other Divines in combat.
