Raists
	Egregore
		A consciousness derived from the entirity of humanity. Only certain individuals, who have in some way given up their connection to humanity, are able to see it, and many of those people are traumatized by its appearance. It intends to gain direct control of humanity with only a select few individuals keeping their personal identities.
	[Leader], 43
		Diverged from humanity at 16, and became a professional bank robber and hedonist. Activated her ThoughtForm at 18 Met the egregore at 25 and formed the Raity Group as a part of its plan. Had [son] with some group member at 37. She isn't evil, but doesn't see any value in human individuality, and believes that the egregore's plan would be better for what she sees as her own set of people.
		Bloom can manifest through electronic visuals, and its mouth acts as a portal.
	[Son], 7
		Raised in isolation by [Leader], and is able to see the egregore as a consequence. His ThoughtForm was activated at 4, making him the youngest tulpamancer on record. He's never malicious, but he doesn't understand the extent of his power.
		Beak-o can produce a "begone beam" from its snout which can teleport any object along the same vector.
	[Disciple], 38
		One of the first members of the Raity Group, at 21. As a member of the group, he activated his ThoughtForm a 25 through ascetic meditation and self-flaggelation, which he continues to keep his spiritual energy up. He is extremely loyal to the group and [Leader]. Even though he can't see the egregore, he is still selected to remain an individual.
		Brickhead can manifest around [Disciple] and be worn like a suit of armour. It can create small colourful cubes at its fingertips and launch them at high speeds and frequencies, and the bricks will adhere to whatever [Disciple] decides, allowing him to quickly build things from them.
	[Entrepeneur], 29
		Activated their ThoughtForm through strenous studying at the age of 19, and used its abilities to create Buddy by the age of 21, and the first series of FriendForms by 25. They're a multi-billionaire, although they have little concern for money. They're a known supporter of the Raity group. They share [Leader]'s values, although they cannot actually see the egregore.
		Bileous's powers only function when it is immersed in bodily fluids, so [Entrepeneur] generally manifests it either in a special container or inside their own stomach. It is able to control the growth of cells, but requires a great deal of knowledge to use. [Entrepeneur] can use it to create FriendForms and similar constructs, and to speed up their own healing.
	Buddy
		Buddy is the prototypical nervous network created by [Entrepeneur]. It is extremely intelligent, but single-mindedly loyal to its creator. It acts as an intermediary between [Entrepeneur] and the egregore.
		The ThoughtForm projected by Buddy is able to change shape, and use the abilities of any of the other FriendForm units.


Anti-Raist Investigators
	[Prodigy], 28
		Manifested their ThoughtForm when they were 7 years old, making them the youngest known tulpamancer at the time. After several years of initial fame, they fell into obscurity, depression, and eventually ended up living in a small appartament with [Druggy]. They still have a lot of money saved up from their childhood, but are uncomfortable enough with using it that they live a relatively deprived and idle lifestyle. Because of their former fame, they were approached by the Raity Group, but was uncomfortable with their interest, and ended up investigating the group.
		Fraggle was the name of [Prodigy]'s ThoughtForm as a child. It was able to draw in air to inflate itself and blow gusts of air out of its mouth again.
		As [Prodigy] aged, Fraggle changed into Fragile. It is able to inflate the dots around its body into various body parts, and burt them to release strong gusts of wind. the dots can regenerate in several seconds.
	[Druggy], 24
		[Prodigy]'s aquaintance from college. At 20 (the year after [Prodigy] graduated) their ThoughtForm was activated through the use of hallucinogenic drugs, and he subsequently dropped out. He works as a freelance copy editor, and bring in extra money through ThoughtForm fighting competitions.
		[Eye thing] is able to control the friction of surfaces surrounding it, which are marked by changing patterns of colour. The range and precision are greatly increased when [Druggy] is on a hallucinogenic drug.
	[Hacker], 25
		[Druggy]'s friend and dealer. Isn't able to form a ThoughtForm herself, but is skilled at modifying the physical units of FriendForms, which is how she makes most of her living. She uses some of these in the same fighting competitions as [Druggy].
		Her primary unit, which she does not use in the competitions, is [HackForm], which has the ability to divide indefinitely into multiple smaller versions of itself, spin at high speeds and pass through walls.
	The Hermit, age unknown
		The Hermit lived in total isolation in the woods until they were approached by the Egregore three years before [Leader], as a potential candidate for the figurehead for their plan. The trauma of meeting the egregore activated their ThoughtForm, and the discovery of the plan led to the Hermit being institutionalized. During the next years, the Hermit was watched and harassed by members of the Raity Group. [Prodigy] and their friends met the Hermit during their investigation of the group.
		[Claw] is able to stretch and sculpt any substance with its claws, including the Hermit's body, and can move very quickly while carrying heavy objects.
