## Warlock:
### The Ichor
Your patron isn't distant like the patrons of other warlocks, your patron lives within you. Through some means you've forged a deal with a living ichor, you act as its host and help it sustain itself and it in return grants you power. Through you, your patron tastes, smells, sees, and feels the world as you do through your senses. Your patron could be a sentient mimic, an oblex, the blood of a deity, or perhaps an alien entity from the stars.

#### Patron Quirks
Due to the rather unique nature of your patron, you are more aware of its peculiar quirks and its personality. Choose any number of the quirks listed below, make your own quirks for them, or you can roll to determine their quirk(s). Work with your DM to further develop your patrons personality and other traits.
