The Holy Prole
Note: The Holy Prole first appeared in the Unknown Armies 2nd Edition campaign book To Go. All I have done is update it slightly for 3rd Edition. The Holy Prole is an ordinary guy in an extraordinary world. While he himself seeks no particular power or authority, he always seems to turn up in the middle when something mystically important goes down. She’s the innocent bystander who can’t quite dismiss what she’s seen. His ordinary life is interrupted when he stumbles into the right place at the wrong time. She has no extraordinary skills or abilities- her one exceptional quality is how ordinary she is. It is the Holy Prole’s nature to accept mysticism without letting that knowledge damage or unhinge him. Most people respond to magick with hysteria: either hysterical denial or hysterical pursuit. Those who see it as “just another one of them things” are more likely to set their foot upon the path of the Holy Prole. This ability to remain engaged in mundane life even when exposed to the occult can be a powerful solace in a world that seems crazy, but at the same time it can lead to a sort of sloth. At her best, the Holy Prole accepts what she cannot change. At his worst, he gives up before trying to change anything. Want to know more about the Holy Prole? Read the entire avatar archetype here.
