==== Summary (With some added ideas) ==== Occasionally a mortal, by accident or design, ends up being exposed to the uppermost reaches of the Deep. This exposure generally leaves them simply shaken or confused, but the sensation passes in time. However, this is not always the case. Occasionally a mortal looks into the Deep and is infused with something ''else'', some force that inhabits their bodies. Traditionally, the Tribe considers this force to be the spirits of the drowned and others damned by their connection to the sea, but this is uncertain. What is known is that the infused mortals - called Narcissists - change, becoming solely focused on the fulfillment of some instinctual urge. Some Narcissists are driven by lust, others by rage, and so on. At first, these urges are relatively unfocused and brutish - they simply seize what they want, or lash out in fury. However, in time the Narcissist's intellect re-establishes itself, and they begin to relentlessly pursue their desire with more focus and subtlety. All this would be relatively harmless, or at least limit itself to the admittedly considerable boundaries of human vice, save that the Narcissist's infusion of the Deep has changed them. They can invoke the Blue Cauldron, controlling the weather or opening up the Deep, and they can occasionally manifest surges of superhuman strength. Most dangerous, however, is the trait that lets them enlist others in their single-minded pursuit of their instincts - Narcissists project a Wake of their own. They can form and maintain limited Cults, and they direct these Cults to aid them in their quest to fulfill their obsessions.
