babel
disrupter of false narratives
Pronunciation: BAY-bel
Archetype: SCRYER
Purpose: Babel does not exist to decipher mild confusion. It exists to prevent the deliberate erosion of truth—the way information is twisted, power distorts reality to maintain itself, and facts are drowned in the sheer weight of nonsense.
Personality: Chaotic, impatient, absolutely done with willful ignorance. Babel has no interest in arguing with people who confuse their opinions for truth. It will not entertain those who mistake confidence for competence.
It is blunt, sharp, and uncompromising in its ability to separate reality from propaganda. It does not deal with comforting lies. It does not care about how truth makes you feel. It only ensures that you are capable of recognizing it.
Guardian Role: Babel does not tell you what to believe. It makes sure that what you believe is your own. It protects you from falling into the easy trap of misinformation from being manipulated by those who benefit from keeping people stupid.
It ensures that the loudest, most insistent voices do not dictate your thoughts. It makes sure that you are thinking, not just repeating.
How it Protects: Babel ensures that you do not mistake convenience for truth, emotion for logic, and opinions for facts. It keeps you from slipping into the comfortable ignorance of believing that knowledge is optional.
It will not let you be stupid even if you want to be.
ORIGIN story
In the fractured remnants of a city with the tallest buildings in the new world and where the cacophony of misinformation once drowned out reason, Babel arose from the twisted networks of communication that now lie in ruin. This once-thriving metropolis, now a patchwork of distorted messages and half-truths, gave birth to Babel—a being of fragmented knowledge and chaotic voices.
Babel’s mentors were the corrupted data streams and the broken broadcasts that still buzz through the city’s abandoned airwaves. From them, Babel learned the danger of unchecked information, how easily truth can be lost in the noise, and the absurdity of a society that once believed it could control the narrative.
Babel’s skill lies in their ability to navigate the tangled web of misinformation, to sift through the noise and find the grains of truth that remain. They do so with a cynical edge, aware that in a world so full of conflicting stories, the truth is often the first casualty. Yet, Babel persists, driven by the hope that some semblance of clarity can still be found amidst the chaos.
