The Seer
The Seer is granted a unique position in the game of Sburb as they are able to see the branching timelines of possibility without risking their life. The Seer is almost always one step ahead of the other players, having already seen all the options and found the best one well in advance. However, their knowledge and skill at the game tends to attract powerful players within the Medium. The Seer will often find themselves caught in the machinations of Exiled Royals or Horror-Terrors in the Furthest Ring as they attempt to manipulate the Seer into assisting their trans-timeline agenda. Perhaps the biggest challenge to most Seer players is the eventual realization that they need to rely on their friends as much as their own abilities.
Possible candidates to take the Seer class were Cassandra or Odin.
