**pro-sision** : to be in favor of the following (this is scary)

species - 99% Mistisis / 1% human hybrid

appearance - a face less mistisis in traditional mistisis apparel

weapon - energy charged hands

occupation - to save himself from the horrors of the other mistisis

notes - sision was delivered to the world of balance to open the gateway so the other  
mistisis could retake that which once was there’s and to take those that live there currently as  
there slaves. sision is the only mistisis with the ability to cross the gateway to the world of life,  
it is believed this is because he is not a pure mistisis. he has taken over minergy inc. to use  
there resources to aid his quest of survival
