Depicted as a lion-headed figure, encoiled by a serpent, and holding two devices (scepters in some depictions, key in others), and encircled by the whole of the zodiac, Aion is a master of cyclical time. Ancient sorcerous texts make mention of him as "the Star-Girded One" and "Father of Seasons." Among sorcerers, Aion often appears as his lion-headed form or as a more humanoid aspect, albeit with skin the black of the universe, sparkling with stars, and encircled by a constantly-spinning golden ring emblazoned with the symbols of the zodiac.

The Arcana of Aion

  • Abandonment of Aion: Affliction. With an utterance of Aionian power, you curse a target to be abandoned by Aion's forward march, and time stutters and even stops around them, slowing or freezing them in place.
    • Affliction • Standard Action, Perception Range, Instant, 4 p/r • Resisted and Overcome by Will; Dazed > Stunned > Incapacitated • Cumulative, Increased Range 2 (Perception)
  • Absence of Aion: Teleport. Invoking Aion, you stop the flow of time around yourself and quickly move your bodily location, allowing it start back up once you have done so. To viewers, you simply teleport from one spot to another.
    • Teleport • Move Action, Rank Range, Instant, 2 p/r • Accurate • Limited (Places reachable) • Rank = amount of time in which time is frozen, which can be used for moving, searching, etc.
  • Absolution of Aion: Healing. By Aion's power, you rewind the body of a target or object, removing damage done to them by resetting them to a previous state of existence.
    • Healing • Standard Action, Perception Range, Instant, 5 p/r • Affects Objects, Improved Range 2 (Perception)
  • Analysis of Aion: Senses + Enhanced Trait. You cast your mind and senses wide, merging them with the flow of Aion. If you cast your sight into the presence, you can predict direct attacks coming at you, and improve your ability to avoid them. If you cast your sight to the past, you gain postcognition; if you cast it into the future, you gain precognition.
  • Enhanced Trait (Dodge + Parry) + Senses (Danger Sense 1, Postcognition 4, Precognition 4) • No Action, Personal, Permanent, 2 p/r + 9 flat
  • Arrow of Aion: Damage. This invocation of Aion's power stops time, giving you the chance to set up an attack against a target, placing it where it will drop on them, or hurling a projectile to strike them. When time restarts, the attack seems to appear out of nowhere for the target.
    • Damage • Standard Action, Perception Range, Instant, 3 p/r + 5 flat • Increase Range 2 (Perception), Indirect 4, Variable Descriptor 1
