Editing Liberi Gothica (section)

==The Liberi==
The primary PC option in Liberi Gothica are Liberi.  Liberi were once normal children, but are now bound to a magical doll (called a foci) with which they have made a contract.  Now they can only survive on human vitality, though as long as they can maintain enough they can live forever.  If they run out of vitality, the life force of humanity, a Liberi will die, and its foci will seek another host.  Liberi also are able to tap into a wide range of magical powers and abilities, which are dependent on the class of their foci.

The Liberi are considered a parasite upon mankind, and they are hated and feared by most people.  They are hunted, be it by the Church of the Twelve, the enigmatic Phoenix Initiates or simply by fearful townspeople.  The foci tend to only chose those children who have little, live a life of suffering or are near death.  In the soot covered streets of the cities or the ignorant reaches of the rural areas of Victoria, the foci have little worry of running out of pitiable children, all too ready to exchange their lot in life for that of a monster.
