He held it up together, kept his vision in the face of the apocalypse and tried to save the last remnants of the Golden Age for a dozen sessions.
Then last game, the then-brainer-now-hocus teared up a rift in reality itself to show his people what was miles away.
"Uncle, how do you react to that ?
-I don't, Uncle doesn't see shit like this, I never open myself to the maelstrom.
-No, you don't get it. It's not a vision. It's real, like, right before your eyes. He really teared up a hole in reality itself. That's no metaphor."
-I... He..."
And he broke, right then.
The player is quite distressed, btw. He really took his role of protector of the remnants of the old world quite at heart, despite our regular reminders of no status quo.
Uncle is also the only character who hasn't changed playbook or made another character yet. In fact that player never took any advanced option.
I think becoming a touchstone could be an interesting option. Poor sap.
