Brainsplat: Fate

Still noodling with that personification idea. Of all the potential aspects, Fate is the one I have the best concept of. Which isn't saying a whole lot.
He's very, very old, possibly the oldest; he's been Fate for so long that he no longer remembers being human. Unlike most of his colleagues, he doesn't bother with eating or other activities which immortality renders unncessary but which most of them continue to pursue for fun. He spends most of his time absorbed in the workings of his aspect. In his human life, he was some sort of sacrificial offering, and was probably rather restricted, which may explain his outlook.
He's one of the most powerful, and as such he can call on other aspects to do things for him. His power affects them as well as humanity, which along with his overly serious approach doesn't make him popular in eternity, but unlike most other aspects he seems to be following the master plan of another power, with limited free will of his own. (Whose plan is he following? Not sure yet. God's, maybe, but I'm not sure the ultimate outcome of the plan is necessarily a positive one.) In this he differs from most of the others, many of whom were simply recruited and set loose with their particular powers to do as they saw fit... He does not always like what he does, and sees himself as a tool of his power rather than the other way around.
