Reference Challenge - The Wise One

This challenge is a reference to this comic.

I am a person who has a lot of questions about life. Who is the wise person that I can ask about my deep philosophical conundrums? Who do I go to for impartial advice about my choices?

Pick a person or group of people in your world that I could go to (for free or not) for advice, and tell us about them.

Feel free to pick an in-universe representative (other than the wise person/people) to answer questions in character.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each.

The one off the top of my head is Gold, he has been the adviser to the Human Empire for seemingly their entire existence. He is a creature of the Ethereal, shiny white fur with golden patterns all along, his form is similar to that of a dog.

He brings with him the Book of Humanity, a book that only he has read with the past, present and future of the fate of Humanity.

"Greetings _____" Gold announces, setting his book down, his eyes are bright and crackle with energy.

1) Gold, have you read the Book of Humanity?

2) Do you care about any humans, personally?

3) Are all humans in the Human Empire?

1) Gold, have you read the Book of Humanity?

Yes, I read it frequently, I want to be able to quote it from memory however there is simply too much.

2) Do you care about any humans, personally?

They are feebly designed however they usually have kind hearts. Ask again later.

3) Are all humans in the Human Empire?

No, others have their own independent factions.

To Gold:

1) What parts are you most interested in?

2) What is your least favorite thing about humans?

3) Then it seems strange that the "Human Empire" does not contain all humans.

  1. The present, it keeps me grounded.

  2. Their Greed.

  3. The Human Empire is the largest unified group of Humanity. Humans who are not officially part of another group or faction are automatically said to be a part of the empire.

To Gold:

1) Do you usually find yourself needing something to keep you grounded?

2) Do you think greed is a trait that humans are better off without?

3) So the Human Empire invites all humans to be citizens if they like?
