The character in Avowed, referred to as an “envoy,” is akin to a race from Pillars of Eternity, similar to tieflings or genasi from Dungeons & Dragons. At birth, these characters, known as godlikes, are claimed by one of the divine powers of Eora and bear distinctive features related to their respective deities. In this particular envoy’s case, the mysterious deity is represented by a mix of fungal growths, wooden accessories, Star Trek-inspired rubbery foreheads, and elements of Dryad style. There’s quite a variety to choose from, making the character stand out significantly. However, during character creation, you can opt to hide these distinctive features, transforming the envoy into an ordinary-looking individual. Yet, despite their normal appearance, they are still treated as if they were a strange and unusual being.
