About this class
The Cosmic Emissary is a being who either comes from space, or acts as a diplomat on behalf of an entity from space. The job of a Cosmic Emissary is to seek unity with this planet, and the planet they speak for. They often align themselves with people of this planet who have similar goals. They are curious about what this world has to offer, and just as excited to learn about this planet, as they are to share information about the planet they represent. Or at least, what they know of it.
