The anatomy of a Vitalist

Overview

The Power System in Vanguard works on a magical essence called "Vita," which is this world's magic. All beings have Vita, but to access the abilities of one, they must be Vitalists. Vitalists are individuals who awakened to one of the four archetypes, each with its own beliefs and core values that indicate which path an individual follows. Below are the structures of Vita in the order of importance.

Archetypes

One's particular circumstance forms Vita Archetypes. They are shaped by the particular emotions one has when they become a Vitalist. They dictate what your Novissime is. When you become a Vitalist, the type you become is one of the four Archetypes.

Links are secondary abilities that your characters can develop overtime, through training or other alternatives that allow them to enhance their skills.

Novissime (Ultimate abilities)

The ultimate manifestation of one's Archetype. They represent the pinnacle of vita control, precision and technique. Many do not reach this stage however, with some only gaining access to Half-Novissimes: Weaker unfulfilled Novissimes that aren't at their full potential.
