Fugitive

A Fugitive is a practitioner who's become a criminal in the eyes of the law, universal laws. The Pillars of Human Existence and related or subordinate forces find them wanting and seek to remove them somehow.

Methodology

Fugitives deal with structural and wages related practices.

They'll typically have a gauge for the clout they receive for their "run" that lets them slip the attention of various forces. They have their rituals to disconnect them from the forces and ways to get reality to change things in their favor or undo the damage of the forces in their rampage to at the fugitive. They are especially focused on the various refuges that are available in the interstitial and/or hollow spaces outside reality.

They create wrinkles in reality by their existence.<ref>

Notable Examples

• Abi, Fugitive of War<ref name=":1">
• The Fugitive of [insert Incarnation here] has cheated Death, Fate, Justice, or another Incarnate force, and is on the run.  They operate by different rules and often have to avoid reality in general, keeping to interstitial spaces, other realms, and enjoying certain loose side benefits while the Ruins and Incarnations keep bleeding into reality to dispatch forces, agents, and Incarnate practitioners to deal with them, for they are very much a wrinkle of the sort mentioned in other entries. - Pact Dice: Incarnations</ref><ref name=":0">

• Beatriz, Fugitive of Love<ref>Beatriz is a fugitive of Love. Early on, calling in all the favors she could, she bought herself the time to do the ritual, claiming a space between the walls she found as a child and decorated, hoarding her treasures there. Turning it into a Demesne, she orients the space so that it's a fleeting one, a temporary space. Whenever she moves from harried reality to refuge, or refuge to harried reality, she can enter her Demesne as an interim space, good for a quick shower, a change, putting some stuff away or getting some other equipment. As she puts power into it she can expand it, but the space as defined is very narrow- only about three feet across, and she can't expand it that direction. - Wildbow on Discord</ref>
• Florismart, Fugitive of Rampage<ref>Florismart is a fugitive of Rampage. He made a deal with a local Lord that he'd be allowed to establish a Demesne, in exchange for stopping a gang lord's takeover, countering his momentum (his rampage). He then kept that in his back pocket, using it to declare the initiation of a Demesne ritual within a pay phone booth when cornered, forcing Rampage to stop what it was doing -crucial against that Incarnation- and meet him in a Demesne challenge, which he won. Later, Florismart made more and more use of his phone booth, arranging it so it operates on its own obscure schedule, appearing in urban areas. It's narrow, and small, but it makes contacting outside parties easier, and the 'phone book' chained beneath the phone is actually a repository of comprehensive notes, a compiled Dramatis Personae across multiple cities, and more. Most importantly, as a wandering Demesne, it's a way to interrupt Rampage's momentum, carrying him to another location. Not quite as often as he likes, and less consistently than he'd like (he opted to sacrifice that control and consistency to get it onboard sooner), but still a valuable tool and spot to retreat to. - Wildbow on Discord</ref>
• Ryan, Fugitive of Fortune.<ref>- Excerpt from In Absentia 21.14</ref>

Trivia

• Fleeing from supposedly immanent forces of the universe, for example Appointment in Samarra were a man flees death, are a known motif in literature.
