==Vampire 2020==<br />
In ten years, two Princes and then none. The tyrannical Prince Wallace, who called sixteen bloodhunts in six months, cut down by his former ally Victor Syrenno. Syrenno himself forced to step down pending the election of a new Prince… Now, enter a coterie of neonates, or more seasoned kindred, assembled for a job. Boons and rewards promised and signed. And then the job goes badly- somebody fucked up, intelligence was bad, and now the coterie is left holding the bag. But hey, there’s another job to make up for your botches in a city trembling on the brink of a power struggle. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
===Kindred of Note===<br />
<br />

;From the internet<br />
"You wouldn't believe this. I wouldn't have in the past. We know ghosts are real- the haunting at the Beachfront hotel in San Jose proved that. I was in Montauk last week looking for that commission of Joe3334. I saw something standing in the base commander's old office. Looked me and then the next thing I know I'm laying outside the fence weak and dizzy. If it wasn't for the amulet of Amon I picked up I suspect I wouldn't remember even this much...."<br><br />
Marek also finds a vague reference in a certain web fourm about the growth of dark tass-algae under the refinery's piers. That page is hard for Marek to read physically<br><br />
<br />
;From an ally<br />
"I checked around with my resources about Montauk. Big oil spill from the refinery in the 90’s, but it didn’t make the news for some reason. Make sure your place isn’t contaminated- that stuff can come back to bite you in the caboose. You never know what’s actually in the dirt after those fuckups. Don’t wander around the industrial zone at night expecting to do any urban exploration with any of the big industrial plants. Private security companies (the ones used by those Endron assholes are the worse) shoot first and bribe later. The Endron office building across the street from a mediocre pizza place on sixth that has a computer system that’s a tough place to crack. I took a shot at it and backed off since I didn’t have the time to do it right. But if you do get clever I know some people who might be interested in introducing an unwanted app or two. Let me know if anything interesting comes up and don’t spend a ton of time at out alone at night bud. Streetlamps are pretty unreliable in Eastcity but more so in the boroughs.”<br><br />

===Characters===<br />
*Vampire 20th Edition. Revised books are compatible.<br />
*By default it is assumed that the characters are members of the Camarilla (or if playing a clan normally outside of it, on the job to get in).<br />
*Consider why your character as included in the job. What reward did they ask for? What were they promised?<br />
*[[Example Character Sheet]]<br />
<br />
'''Alive'''<br />
<br />
'''Mac Bishop'''. WhiteStar. Brujah. <br><br />
*Desc: Apparently Healthy caucasion male in his late 20's/early thirties, with short black hair and brown eyes. Usually dressed in nondescript and practical clothes.<br />
*Bio: Former US Army Tracked Vehicle Repairer (91H), went survivalist after mustering out before being embraced by his sire Bruce Hutton who was in need of hands on technical skills from the modern day. When he proved to not be susceptible to blood bonding this caused a minor falling out, leaving Bishop to set up a fly by night PI business to get by, eventually culminating in Hutton volunteering him to the local Camerilla for a high risk mission. Bishop privately suspects it was a plot to tie up loose ends without his Sire getting his hands dirty but can't prove it. Yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[James Rathmore]]'''. Oseng. Salubri. <br><br />
*Desc: Tall, skinny, man of apparent Caucasian/Northern European origin and hard to determine age. Short cropped brown hair and matching eyes, typically dressed in neat business casual clothing.<br />
*Bio: A doctor whose personality, philosophy, and skills as a healer attracted the attention of his sire, Fiona. Like his sire, whose last name he has taken/been awarded with in his current identity, he claims to be part of the Toreador clan. He and his sire came to a city a couple of years ago to settle a significant debt or favor his lineage owes. That favor was one of the reasons he was called upon to assist with the job. Though his sire is currently out of the city tending to other business she has plans to return later in the year. <br />
<br />
'''[[Marek Valenta]]''' OmegaPaladin. Toreador. <br><br />
*Desc: Mid-twenties geeky white dude with dark hair and a baseball cap. Missed the memo on Toreadors being attractive - even the cool shades don't help much.<br />
*Bio: Marek had been good with computers all his life. Even as he was in high school he began to get a reputation as a White Hat and occasional source of mischief. After getting out of college, he began successful career as a consultant and freelance hacker. Then he got a big job from a drop-dead gorgeous lady named Marie Genevieve de Colombeau, which involved the most challenging data acquisition in his career - he pulled it off without a hitch. The reward turned out to include eternal darkness. Now, he's her surprise weapon and source of social intel. <br />

==Vampire 2020==<br />
In ten years, two Princes and then none. The tyrannical Prince Wallace, who called sixteen bloodhunts in six months, cut down by his former ally Victor Syrenno. Syrenno himself forced to step down pending the election of a new Prince… Now, enter a coterie of neonates, or more seasoned kindred, assembled for a job. Boons and rewards promised and signed. And then the job goes badly- somebody fucked up, intelligence was bad, and now the coterie is left holding the bag. But hey, there’s another job to make up for your botches in a city trembling on the brink of a power struggle. <br><br />

Prince Victor Syrenno. Formally the Seneschal of Prince Wallace. Lead the coup that unseated him and reigned as Prince for nearly a year before he lost the support of the Elders of the City and was forced to into abdication and exile. ''“I do not commit this foul act out of personal ambition but loyalty to the city.”'' <br><br />
<br />
Bruce Hutton, Brujah, 7th Generation. Childe of Theodore the Armenian. Immigrated to the City from England in 1851. Sire of Mac Bishop. Publicly volunteered his childe for the '''Important Mission'''. <br><br />
<br />
====TOREADOR CLAN====<br />
The Toreador Clan has had a strong hold over the Easy City since it’s founding. While Wallace Markham was not it’s first Prince he was the longest serving one; his wild actions in the last year of his reign caused much harm to the Toreador Clan and Prince Syrenno’s coup unseated the Clan of the Rose from it’s lofty position. In the post-Syrenno environment Marissa took up the mantle of Toreador Primogen, dividing the clan between Wallace’s brood and the other Toreador. <br><br />

==Vampire 2020==<br />
In ten years, two Princes and then none. The tyrannical Prince Wallace, who called sixteen bloodhunts in six months, cut down by his former ally Victor Syrenno. Syrenno himself forced to step down pending the election of a new Prince… Now, enter a coterie of neonates, or more seasoned kindred, assembled for a job. Boons and rewards promised and signed. And then the job goes badly- somebody fucked up, intelligence was bad, and now the coterie is left holding the bag. But hey, there’s another job to make up for your botches in a city trembling on the brink of a power struggle. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
===Kindred of Note===<br />
<br />
====BRUJAH CLAN====<br />
Prince Victor Syrenno. Formally the Seneschal of Prince Wallace. Lead the coup that unseated him and reigned as Prince for nearly a year before he lost the support of the Elders of the City and was forced to into abdication and exile. ''“I do not commit this foul act out of personal ambition but loyalty to the city.”'' <br><br />
<br />
Bruce Hutton, Brujah, 7th Generation. Childe of Theodore the Armenian. Immigrated to the City from England in 1851. Sire of Mac Bishop. Publicly volunteered his childe for the '''Important Mission'''. <br><br />
<br />
====TOREADOR CLAN====<br />
The Toreador Clan has had a strong hold over the Easy City since it’s founding. While Wallace Markham was not it’s first Prince he was the longest serving one; his wild actions in the last year of his reign caused much harm to the Toreador Clan and Prince Syrenno’s coup unseated the Clan of the Rose from it’s lofty position. In the post-Syrenno environment Marissa took up the mantle of Toreador Primogen, dividing the clan between Wallace’s brood and the other Toreador. <br><br />
<br />

<div>'''Setting: <br />
'''<br><br />
Aurelis is a small but independent duchy, one of many such realms in the region of the world known as the Old Kingdoms. Remaining relatively neutral in the frequent strife that sweeps through the Old Kingdoms, Aurelis has prospered under the rule of the Arthana Dynasty. However there are many troubling rumors surrounding the ruins of the long fallen and deeply mystical Empire of Archnea, which have attracted the attention of the Church of the Ascendants. <br />
<br />
'''Background Notes:<br />
'''<br><br />
- The Empire of Archnea was a long ago empire known for its mastery of arcane magic, which allowed it dominate the region during its heyday. Destroyed itself in a great mystical cataclysm that is said to have killed the goddess of magic and lead the remaining ascendants to ban the use of magic. Its heartland was said to lie along the great river that runs through the heart of the Old Kingdoms and many of the local realms claim to be descended from it. There are many ruins and the ilk scattered about the region.<br />
<br />
- The Church of the Ascendant is the main local faith, centered around a pantheon of multiple gods and lesser but still revered spirits. They ban both the study or use of arcane magic and actively hunt those involved in it. People generally worship the pantheon as a whole rather then any individual deity, giving worship to those deities related to their life. The faith has a hierarchical structure among its clergy and serves as a unifying body in the divided Old Kingdoms.<br />
<br />
'''Character Creation and System <br><br />
'''<br />
- Standard D10 System <br><br />
<br />
''Attributes:<br />
''<br />
You get 18 character points or CP to spend on your attributes, which are your basic mundane physical and mental abilities. You may also purchase specialties which represent something mundane that your character specializes in, such as being a doctor or a scholar of history. When applicable specialties can be rolled along with a related attribute, as chosen by the GM. <br />
<br />
One character point purchases one point of an attribute or a specialty. No attribute may be below one or above five at charge in, while specialties cannot go higher then 3. HP is your strength (representing your physical endurance) plus your Integrity (representing your willpower to keep on going.) <br />
<br />
Strength <br><br />
Dexterity <br><br />
Wits <br><br />
Integrity <br><br />
Charisma <br><br />
Perception <br><br><br />
<br />
''Traits<br />
''<br><br />
Traits are special properties your character possesses such as being a Templar or a Wizard. A trait costs 2 CP at charge-in but comes with both bonuses and downsides in game. Feel free to run a potential trait by me if you would like.<br><br><br />
<br />
Templar – You are a warrior-knight of the Church, having been purified by the Flame of Ascension. As a wandering knight-errant you have some freedom from the strictures of the church/knightly hierarchy but are still bound to it and the faith. Your faith and purification grants you a certain resistance to magic as well as the ability to detect it at close range. <br><br><br />
<br />
Wizard – You are a wizard, a wise-man, a witch, a warlock, or another figure who secretly practices arcane magic. Perhaps you found an artifact of the Fallen Empire or maybe you studied under a master? Rather then a Blessing you pick a school or type of magic that your character practices but will be hunted by the Church and often denounced by the populace. <br><br><br />
<br />
Noble – You are a noble of one of the Old Kingdoms, which grants you access to various resources and contacts that would remain shut to most adventurers. However, you also attract more attention and may have attend to certain duties. Some whisper that many of the older noble lines are descended from the mage-lords of Archnea… <br><br><br />
<br />
''Blessing/Magic<br />
''<br><br />
Somewhere between the age of eight and ten all followers of the Ascendants undergo a rite in which they receive a Blessing from one of the Ascendants or the Spirits. In most cases this is a minor ability or talent related to the individual’s personal strengths and weaknesses. But in some cases a Blessing is much greater – allowing for supernatural abilities that rival the powers of the Old Magic. The strength of a Blessing can grow with training or by doing something that attracts the good will of one of the Ascendants. <br><br />
<br />
The Ascendants are said to withdraw much of their blessing from those deluded fools or malicious individuals who are corrupted by the lure of the Old Magic. Instead they have access to at least one school of magic. <br><br />
<br />
You get 5 Supernatural Points or SP to build your blessing or magic at the start of the game. Both Blessings and Magic need to revolve around some sort of theme – either from the deity that granted it or a particular school/style of magic. A death deity might grant some form of necromancy while a fire spirit or god might grant some control over flames. <br><br />
<br />
One SP is equal to one Dot of a particular power or spell, with each dot reprsenting more “oomph” and control. You must start with at least two abilities. <br><br />
<br />
''XP <br />
''<br />
Characters will gain XP each session which can be spent in the following ways: <br><br><br />
<br />
2 XP = 1 Dot of Attribute/Specialties <br><br />
3 XP = 1 Dot of Blessing/Magic <br></div>Osenghttps://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=User:Oseng&diff=64748User:Oseng2017-11-13T02:54:02Z<p>Oseng: </p>

<hr />
<div>It is 837 AT and the Arch-Duke is dead. His death was not unexpected for he had long been plagued by a strange malady that sapped his strength and weakened his mind. Rule of the Arch Duchy of Vire now falls to the Arch Duchess Claire Darche, or at least it will when she completes the coronation ceremony. This ceremony has great spiritual and mystical significance for the realm and requires the use of the four great relics of the crown: the Crown of Wisdom, the Sword of Honor, the Mirror of Faith, and the Scepter of Justice. These ancient relics were created long by a powerful arch mage and a saint at the bequest of the first Arch Duke, who wished to test all those who might rule after him. <br><br />
<br />
But all is not peaceful within or without the arch-duchy's borders, the arch duchess is young and untested, and the duke's spymaster has heard whispers of an attempt or attempts on the Great Relics. So a plan was quickly wrought where replicas would be sent with the normal grand parade that traditionally carried the relics from the crown city of Abingdon to the holy city of Havan, while the true relics would be sent with a pair of discreetly recruited adventuring companies. <br><br />
<br />
You are one of those two companies, recruited from men and women who have proved their trustworthiness in the past. Great rewards have been promised each of you if the true relics make it to the holy city..... but there are many enemies out there and you will not know who you can trust. <br><br />
<br />
'''System/Character Generation'''<br />
<br />
This is a very rules light game and the intention is for the players to be able to go a little crazy. Its a fairly standard #lords system, with a difficultly of 6 for dice rolls. <br><br />
<br />
You have eighteen points to spend on these five categories. Please keep in mind that I'm trying to avoid having anything be a “dump stat.” <br><br />
<br />
* Strength:<br />
* Will:<br />
* Charisma:<br />
* Wits/Intelligence:<br />
* Perception:<br />
<br />
You also pick one “class” that defines your abilities and what sort of crazy stuff you can pull off. Most of your abilities or what you do in the game should relate back to this class' theme in some way. Classes can be pretty much anything you can think of: street urchin, thief, assassin, knight, paladin, necromancer, warlock, elementalist, cleric, psionic, summoner, etc. Classes can also be used to represent a powerful non-human race or species like dragon, vampire, angel, etc. However, please try to be specific rather then generic. Instead of just listing mage – list something like necromancer or summoner that tells us what kind of magic they use. For clerics you could list what kind of deity they follow, etc. <br><br />

But all is not peaceful within or without the arch-duchy's borders, the arch duchess is young and untested, and the duke's spymaster has heard whispers of an attempt or attempts on the Great Relics. So a plan was quickly wrought where replicas would be sent with the normal grand parade that traditionally carried the relics from the crown city of Abingdon to the holy city of Havan, while the true relics would be sent with a pair of discreetly recruited adventuring companies. <br><br />
<br />
You are one of those two companies, recruited from men and women who have proved their trustworthiness in the past. Great rewards have been promised each of you if the true relics make it to the holy city..... but there are many enemies out there and you will not know who you can trust. <br><br />
<br />
'''System/Character Generation'''<br />
<br />
This is a very rules light game and the intention is for the players to be able to go a little crazy. Its a fairly standard #lords system, with a difficult of 6 for dice rolls. <br><br />
<br />
You have eighteen points to spend on these five categories. Please keep in mind that I'm trying to avoid having anything be a “dump stat.” <br><br />
<br />
* Strength:<br />
* Will:<br />
* Charisma:<br />
* Wits/Intelligence:<br />
* Perception:<br />
<br />
You also pick one “class” that defines your abilities and what sort of crazy stuff you can pull off. Most of your abilities or what you do in the game should relate back to this class' theme in some way. Classes can be pretty much anything you can think of: street urchin, thief, assassin, knight, paladin, necromancer, warlock, elementalist, cleric, psionic, summoner, etc. Classes can also be used to represent a powerful non-human race or species like dragon, vampire, angel, etc. However, please try to be specific rather then generic. Instead of just listing mage – list something like necromancer or summoner that tells us what kind of magic they use. For clerics you could list what kind of deity they follow, etc. <br></div>Osenghttps://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=Talk:The_Festival_of_Scarlet_and_Shady_Cultists&diff=60368Talk:The Festival of Scarlet and Shady Cultists2015-12-17T21:53:29Z<p>Oseng: </p>

<hr />
<div>The world flourished in the long ago time known as the Age of the Gods. It was a time of unparalleled development as the mortal races uncovered the secrets of the gods themselves, magic. But the darkness that sleeps in the hearts of all mortal beings could not be suppressed and the nations of the world turned upon each other, warring with great magics that rent and sundered the world. And the gods saw the devastation their gift of knowledge had wrought and they heard the cries of their faithful as the world burned. So they sealed away all knowledge of their secrets, locking them deep within potent artifacts known as relics. But it was far too late – the world was burning and only the god's direct intervention was enough to heal the land that life might continue on.<br />
<br />
The world slowly healed and civilization rebuilt itself, leading to modern times. You are a member of an expeditionary party sent by the Church of the Silver Flame to explore a set of ruins and recover any relics – the only way that modern day races may use magic. But you will find far more then you expected buried in these barren lands that were once the heartland of a great kingdom.<br />
<br />
Note: This is inspired by Epitaph by BM and some of the rules are lifted from that game.<br />
<br />
'''Charge In'''<br><br />
You have 21 points to distribute between the following categories. You also get one specialty which adds two dice to any applicable roll.<br />
<br />
* Physical<br />
* Dexterity<br />
* Mental<br />
* Social<br />
* Will<br />
<br />
Hit Points: Standard 5 HP <br><br />
Fate: Standard 3 fate per session. <br><br><br />
<br />
Note: Fighting without use of a relic would involve a dexterity or strength roll, depending on what you are using or how you are fighting. This is pretty free form.<br><br />
<br />
''Properties''<br><br />
Properties cost 2 charge in points and represent something intrinsic to your character. You are unlikely to be able to earn one of these in game as a result. The three listed here are only examples, so feel free to offer write ins.<br />
<br />
Inhuman: The blood of some inhuman or non-mortal being, such as a spirit or other mystical creature, runs in your veins. You gain two free powers but also at least one weaknesses related to whatever being you are descended from.<br />
<br />
Blessed: You have been anointed or blessed as either a priest or a paladin of the Church of the Silver Flame, having walked through the purifying flame and been judged worthy. You do more damage to supernatural beings, find it harder for supernatural beings to harm you, gain benefits from holy sites, and have a certain status. However, you are also bound to the Church's teachings and either the knightly or priestly codes of conduct.<br />
<br />
Cursed: Your body has been warped by something, such as the plague of undeath or a tainted relic. You gain 2 more HP and have the ability to shrug off death (one time each session) with the proper roll. However, you take extra damage from the purifying powers of the church and will often be shunned or encounter other difficulties during your travels.<br />
<br />
''Relics''<br><br />
There are many names for what the Church of the Silver Flame calls relics, but at the heart of things they are artifacts of the ancient world. When the gods sealed away the Free Magic of the Age of Gods they trapped their knowledge, their secrets, in these relics and in modern times they are one of the very few ways for mortal man to use magic.<br />
<br />
Each and every relic takes on a different appearance but the power within can be detected and clearly felt. They each have a theme depending on what magic was trapped within them or what they were before the Cataclysm. The scale of a dragon worked into an amulet, for example, might allow its wielder to draw upon the powers of said mighty creature.<br />
<br />
''Relic Creation''<br><br />
Each relic grants a series of powers based around a theme, such as the above dragon scale. You have 6 points to spend to build your relic out of the powers and abilities below but everything must fit within your theme. Note that you will loose access to your powers if you do not have your relic, though relics attune to their owner and can generally be traced. It is also difficult to turn a relic's powers against its wielder.<br />
<br />
Enhancement: Your relic can bolster one of your stats to superhuman levels, granting you automatic successes on a roll. One point of enhancement equals one auto-sux.<br />
<br />
Estoria: Your relic grants you magical powers such as those wielded by the long dead sorcerers of the Age of Gods. This includes things like raising the dead, commanding the elements, summoning, healing, shape-shifting, etc. Each point spent here grants one power, which will be rolled as 2 dice + appropriate stat.<br />
<br />
Endurance: Your relic grants you some form of enhanced defense such as dragon scales, stone skin, a magical force field, a field that makes it harder for people to target you, etc. Make sure to explain what your defense is and what it does or doesn't work against. Each point spent in this category reduces damage to you by one.<br />
<br />
''Relic Use and Backlash''<br><br />
Channeling the secrets of the gods can be trying on body, soul, and mind. You may use your relic a limited number of times each session, specifically the number of points you have in will. After that you may force yourself past your limits but must risk the chance of Backlash. Backlash is some form of magical catastrophe, usually but not always related to what the relic's user was trying to do. Once you have used up your free uses you to have to roll one dice. If you get a sux then you avoid backlash, but if you fail you will be hit with backlash.<br />
<br />
''Attunement''<br><br />
Relic users become attuned to their artifacts and learn to draw upon more of its inner secrets the more the make use of it. In other words you will gain experience as the game goes along that can be spent on the following items:<br />
<br />
Attribute Point: 2 XP<br><br />
New Relic Ability: 3 XP <br><br />
New Specialty: 3 XP<br></div>Osenghttps://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=Secrets_of_the_Gods&diff=59876Secrets of the Gods2015-10-22T02:13:36Z<p>Oseng: Created page with "The world flourished in the long ago time known as the Age of the Gods.

You do more damage to supernatural beings, find it harder for supernatural beings to harm you, gain benefits from holy sites, and have a certain status. However, you are also bound to the Church's teachings and either the knightly or priestly codes of conduct.<br />
<br />
Cursed: Your body has been warped by something, such as the plague of undeath or a tainted relic. You gain 2 more HP and have the ability to shrug off death (one time each session) with the proper roll. However, you take extra damage from the purifying powers of the church and will often be shunned or encounter other difficulties during your travels.<br />
<br />
''Relics''<br><br />
There are many names for what the Church of the Silver Flame calls relics, but at the heart of things they are artifacts of the ancient world. When the gods sealed away the Free Magic of the Age of Gods they trapped their knowledge, their secrets, in these relics and in modern times they are one of the very few ways for mortal man to use magic.<br />
<br />
Each and every relic takes on a different appearance but the power within can be detected and clearly felt. They each have a theme depending on what magic was trapped within them or what they were before the Cataclysm. The scale of a dragon worked into an amulet, for example, might allow its wielder to draw upon the powers of said mighty creature.<br />
<br />
''Relic Creation''<br><br />
Each relic grants a series of powers based around a theme, such as the above dragon scale. You have 6 points to spend to build your relic out of the powers and abilities below but everything must fit within your theme. Note that you will loose access to your powers if you do not have your relic, though relics attune to their owner and can generally be traced. It is also difficult to turn a relic's powers against its wielder.<br />
<br />
Enhancement: Your relic can bolster one of your stats to superhuman levels, granting you automatic successes on a roll. One point of enhancement equals one auto-sux.<br />
<br />
Estoria: Your relic grants you magical powers such as those wielded by the long dead sorcerers of the Age of Gods. This includes things like raising the dead, commanding the elements, summoning, healing, shape-shifting, etc. Each point spent here grants one power, which will be rolled as 2 dice + appropriate stat.<br />
<br />
Endurance: Your relic grants you some form of enhanced defense such as dragon scales, stone skin, a magical force field, a field that makes it harder for people to target you, etc. Make sure to explain what your defense is and what it does or doesn't work against. Each point spent in this category reduces damage to you by one.<br />
<br />
''Relic Use and Backlash''<br><br />
Channeling the secrets of the gods can be trying on body, soul, and mind. You may use your relic a limited number of times each session, specifically the number of points you have in will. After that you may force yourself past your limits but must risk the chance of Backlash. Backlash is some form of magical catastrophe, usually but not always related to what the relic's user was trying to do. Once you have used up your free uses you to have to roll one dice. If you get a sux then you avoid backlash, but if you fail you will be hit with backlash.<br />
<br />
''Attunement''<br><br />
Relic users become attuned to their artifacts and learn to draw upon more of its inner secrets the more the make use of it. In other words you will gain experience as the game goes along that can be spent on the following items:<br />
<br />
Attribute Point: 2 XP<br />
New Relic Ability: 3 XP <br />
New Specialty: 3 XP</div>Osenghttps://swiki.fancruft.com/index.php?title=Talk:Doves&diff=59858Talk:Doves2015-10-14T20:04:20Z<p>Oseng: /* Alice Carnet */</p>

== Tsurugi Ayane==<br />
[[File:ZeHHzVm.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br />
Tsurugi Ayane (not her real name) is a cyclops girl who emigrated to Japan in her late teens to study university and immerse herself in the culture there. Exposure to it has not deadened her interest, although it has lead her to speak and adorn herself with many Japanese affectations, the very least of which is a sailor fuku for a girl several years younger than herself. Like many cyclopes she is a '''Master Builder''' with great powers of '''Creation''', and a body that can '''Survive the Hardships''' of the volcanic forges they often made use of in the employ of Hephaestus. She is '''Preternaturally Strong''' but somewhat '''Clumsy''', '''Lacking Depth Perception''' and '''Defenseless If Blinded'''. Her eye is sensitive and '''Detail Oriented''', able to '''Detect Imperfections''' in objects. Her particular clan have the ability to reduce their bodies to human scale, unfurling to around eight meters tall and weighing a few tons at their full size.<br />

== Chiyo ==<br />
<br />
Chiyo (also not her real name) is a Snake demoness/Lamia ambassador of her people. She serves as Lamia diplomatic personnel in Japan, and has done so since before the Masquerade breach. Chiyo's primary skill is as a '''diplomat''', even though she still finds humans and other races a little strange. As a Lamia she is '''over energetic''' '''touchy''' and '''cold blooded''', but possessed of potent powers of '''illusions''', '''naturally likeable''' and capable of various '''minor magics'''. <br />

== Oraculus ==<br />
<br />
Oraculus is a child of Argus Panoptes, the hundred-eyed giant of Greek myth, sired before his death. Hera blessed these hundreds of children, and their descendents were often guards and investigators. Oraculus, a scholar and sorcerer amongst his kind, has taken a keen interest in the new times since the Masquerade fell, and is eager to study humans more closely. Physically, he resembles a giant sphere with a human mouth, with dozens of glittering eyestalks fanning out from it in all directions. Like his name suggests, he is a potent ''Oracle'', able to see small details and supernaturally extrapolate. His eyes grant him ''360 vision'', but make him ''vulnerable to intense flashes''. He tends to become ''fixated'' and ''obsessive'', and is ''limited to weak tendrils'' for physical manipulation that can't lift too much. However, as a student of magic, he understands the power of ''mind manipulation'' and can fire ''psychic beams'', and is capable of sustained ''flight''. <br />

1. France is a hotbed of arcane and esoteric knowledge, as the origin of Arthurian legend and a homeland for the european Dragons of myth. The wealth of arcane artifacts and divine beasts cannot be overlooked (not to mention the historical and cultural significance).<br><br />
2. I am a researcher and archiver, handling the inevitable paperwork and documentation that comes with our integration into human society, as well as cataloguing and researching mystical phenomena. I joined it in order to better access the lore of different cultures and for the inevitable support this requires. <br><br />
3. I enjoy studying and manipulating magical artifacts and divine beasts. I dislike having to negotiate with mortal or divine beasts and their alien idiosyncracies. Manual labour is also tedious.<br><br />
4. It certainly makes things easier when one doesn't have to hide one's nature. As I do not conform to humannormative appearance conventions, there are challenges and discrimination that come from being a floating sphere covered in eyes.<br><br />

[[File:Kumiko.jpg|thumb|200px]]<br />
<br />
Kumiko is a kitsune, who formerly worked for the Japanese government before the fall of the Masquerade and currently works as a “human-youkai relations specialist.” She is quite adept at '''Kitsune Magic''' (Possession or Bewitching of People, kitsune-bi, Shapeshifting, Illusions, and various other things) but is '''vulnerable to the power/magic of faith.''' She is rather '''motherly''' and tends to take care of her friends and co-workers, and also has a number of descendants out in the human world that she keeps an eye on - particularly a granddaughter who has inherited a great deal of Kumiko's kitsune nature. She is a '''peacekeeper or peace-maker''' who finds it easy to work out and settle disputes, but sometimes can't resist her innate nature as a '''trickster.''' Kumiko is a kyuubi/nine-tailed kitsune but often pretends to be a lesser kitsune, and is listed in most records as a five-tailed kitsune. She is a leader among her race (including her "cousins" of the nine-tailed tribe such as the Kumiho and the Huli Jing) and is influential among oriental youkai in general.<br />

:2. I work as a consultant for youkai who feel they have been discriminated or persecuted, as well as for humans or youkai dealing with the intricacies of a human-”monster” relationship. Chiyo's also dragged me into serving as one of the firm's public relation's faces. And I help with the cooking and keeping the office clean, but that's not really my official job.<br />

:4. I find the Reveal's effects to be ….... interesting, especially how human society is shifting. I've been able to blend with humans since I was young, and I worked with the occult departments of the Japanese government before hand so it didn't really affect me all that much. However, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren have suffered some discrimination since their heritage came to light.<br />

==Fluorallyl Mauvine==<br />
<br />
Fluorallyl is one of the more recent creations from the Union – a sentient polymorphic creature made from exotic black nano-paste. Fluorallyl is completely asexual, but she currently prefers a feminine shape and identity. She appears as a girl with long flowing hair, all of which appears to be composed of tar or asphalt. <br />
<br />
Fluorallyl is a master of shape shifting, down to the nanotech level, which gives her incredible fine motor control, but she has problems with organic / living shapes, which tend to look artificial. She is a trained mercenary, with considerable combat prowess and related skills, usually using weapons made from her own body. She has an extremely wide range of senses, including many that humans cannot detect, but she has a hard time relating what she senses in understandable terms. She is very skilled with technology, and she is a capable hacker. Fluorallyl has some trouble understanding human mindset, but hides it behind an adorable personality. As a creation of the Union, Fluorallyl is unable to perceive magic or arcane power.<br />

:The UN pays my ice cream, so they can order me around the world. France is a nice place to work with both side of the reveal, and there is so much exciting technology! <br />
<br />
;2. What is your job at ETC? Why did you join it?<br />
:I am a mercenary hired by the UN to help ETC. The UN liaison wanted me to work on my human relation skills since I'm still pretty young. He said I'm a bit too silly and bizarre for working with Thorns, but I fit in fine at ETC. I can make things, break things, become things and more as needed. The humans have a cool device known as multitool or Swiss Army Knife, and I am that to ETC.<br />
<br />
;3. Which part of what you do do you like the most? Which part do you like the least?<br />
:I like most of what I do, honestly. There's so much variety in shape and taste here, and I get to meet a diverse group of non-humans. Also, sometimes I meet enemies who I get to destroy! I don't like taking away sentients wills and playing favorites.<br />
<br />
;4. What is your opinion on the Reveal? Did you face discrimination as a result of it?<br />
:I was created after the reveal, and I think it's mostly a good thing. Some beings were hunting humans like they would non-sentients, which is really evil. As far discrimination, obviously I attract attention – I'm not of normal human coloration – but most people seem nice. One weird guy wanted me to to exchange fluids with him because I can make tentacles, so I tossed him out of the nearest window. Icky.<br />
<br />
;5. What do you think about humans? <br />
:Humans have an interesting shape, and they are really nice for interaction. I like my human voice better than my Union voice. They have really cool science and technology, and I can't wait to see what they do next. Plus, they make ICE CREAM!!!<br />

Alice Carnet<br />
<br />
Alice is a wandering spirit who started working with Eyes and Tails Consulting in order to find her way in this new modern world. She currently works as receptionist and general aide but sometimes finds herself in the field, especially when the investigation involves magic or spirits. In life Alice was a powerful sorcerer or witch who communed with spirits and non-human beings, laid potent curses and hexes, and had a deep understanding of European magic and mysticism. As a ghost she has retained her powers and gained both the traditional abilities and vulnerabilities of such spirits. Her powers allowed to save her town from a horrible monster but could not save her from the witch-hunters who soon followed. She was bound to the place of her execution, endlessly reliving being tortured and then burned at the stake, until a passing kitsune (Kumiko) took pity on her and released her.<br />

==Fluorallyl Mauvine==<br />
<br />
Fluorallyl is one of the more recent creations from the Union – a sentient polymorphic creature made from exotic black nano-paste. Fluorallyl is completely asexual, but she currently prefers a feminine shape and identity. She appears as a girl with long flowing hair, all of which appears to be composed of tar or asphalt. <br />
<br />
Fluorallyl is a master of shape shifting, down to the nanotech level, which gives her incredible fine motor control, but she has problems with organic / living shapes, which tend to look artificial. She is a trained mercenary, with considerable combat prowess and related skills, usually using weapons made from her own body. She has an extremely wide range of senses, including many that humans cannot detect, but she has a hard time relating what she senses in understandable terms. She is very skilled with technology, and she is a capable hacker. Fluorallyl has some trouble understanding human mindset, but hides it behind an adorable personality. As a creation of the Union, Fluorallyl is unable to perceive magic or arcane power.<br />

===Questionnaire===<br />
;1. Why did you come to France? Why did you stay here for now?<br />
:The UN pays my ice cream, so they can order me around the world. France is a nice place to work with both side of the reveal, and there is so much exciting technology! <br />
<br />
;2. What is your job at ETC? Why did you join it?<br />
:I am a mercenary hired by the UN to help ETC. The UN liaison wanted me to work on my human relation skills since I'm still pretty young. He said I'm a bit too silly and bizarre for working with Thorns, but I fit in fine at ETC. I can make things, break things, become things and more as needed. The humans have a cool device known as multitool or Swiss Army Knife, and I am that to ETC.<br />
<br />
;3. Which part of what you do do you like the most? Which part do you like the least?<br />
:I like most of what I do, honestly. There's so much variety in shape and taste here, and I get to meet a diverse group of non-humans. Also, sometimes I meet enemies who I get to destroy! I don't like taking away sentients wills and playing favorites.<br />
<br />
;4. What is your opinion on the Reveal? Did you face discrimination as a result of it?<br />
:I was created after the reveal, and I think it's mostly a good thing. Some beings were hunting humans like they would non-sentients, which is really evil. As far discrimination, obviously I attract attention – I'm not of normal human coloration – but most people seem nice. One weird guy wanted me to to exchange fluids with him because I can make tentacles, so I tossed him out of the nearest window. Icky.<br />
<br />
;5. What do you think about humans? <br />
:Humans have an interesting shape, and they are really nice for interaction. I like my human voice better than my Union voice. They have really cool science and technology, and I can't wait to see what they do next. Plus, they make ICE CREAM!!!<br />

<br />
Alice Carnet<br />
<br />
Alice is a wandering spirit who started working with Eyes and Tails Consulting in order to find her way in this new modern world. She currently works as receptionist and general aide but sometimes finds herself in the field, especially when the investigation involves magic or spirits. In life Alice was a powerful sorcerer or witch who communed with spirits and non-human beings, laid potent curses and hexes, and had a deep understanding of European magic and mysticism. As a ghost she has retained her powers and gained new ones, but is vulnerable to the many and varied counters to such spirits. Her powers allowed to save her town from a horrible monster but could not save her from the witch-hunters who soon followed. She was bound to the place of her execution, endlessly reliving being tortured and then burned at the stake, until a passing kitsune (Kumiko) took pity on her and released her.<br />

<div>== What is Microscope? ==<br />
<br />
:''Humanity spreads to the stars and forges a galactic civilization…''<br />
:''Fledgling nations arise from the ruins of the empire…''<br />
:''An ancient line of dragon-kings dies out as magic fades from the realm…''<br />
<br />
These are all examples of Microscope games. Want to explore an epic history of your own creation, hundreds or thousands of years long, all in an afternoon? That's Microscope.<br />
<br />
But you don’t play the history from start to finish, marching along in chronological order. Instead, you build your history from the outside in. You start off knowing the big picture, the grand scheme of what happens, then you dive in and explore what happened in between, the how and why that shaped events.<br />
<br />
You are free to jump backwards or forwards, zooming in or out to look at whatever you want, defying limits of time and space. Want to leap a thousand years into the future and see how an institution shaped society? Want to jump back to the childhood of the king you just saw assassinated and find out what made him such a hated ruler? That’s normal in Microscope.<br />
<br />
You have vast creative authority. You can make whole empires rise and fall at will. Dream up a utopia or destroy one with nuclear fire. You have that power, but remember you’re not alone: everyone else at the table can do it too. <br />
<br />
You create independently, but not in isolation. Each facet you add to history builds on what other players built before you. You expand on their ideas, and they expand on yours. History might not turn out the way you expected. Be prepared to think on your feet.<br />
<br />
The website for Microscope is [http://www.lamemage.com/microscope/ here]. Having a copy is not required, but highly preferred. Microscope uses index cards to represent periods, events, and more, so for our digital equivalents we've got a Google Draw ([https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1PPLGYaeJiYMCdUSfDR31l7typBCqQOk6gou6H73OWgY/edit an example game is laid out here]). <br />
<br />
===Elements===<br />
<br />
The timeline you build in Microscope is comprised of three things:<br />
#'''Periods'''' - Broad stretches of time time that could be decades or centuries. Periods are very broad - new technologies, ideologies, and more change from period to period. A description of a period can include its relation to adjacent periods, but keep in mind that someone can always add another period in between any two existing periods. <br />
#'''Events''' - Something specific that happens in a Period. An event should include an outcome - it's never a question how an Event ended, though we might not know the how or why precisely. An event should be detailed enough that other players can figure out what physically happened. <br />
#'''Scenes''' - Scenes are the smallest units of history. They show us exactly what happens at a specific place, at a specific time, with specific people. Scenes answer specific questions about an Event. They're also different from Periods and Events in that they can be played out but the group rather than dictated.<br />
<br />
Everything in Microscope is defined as either '''Dark''' or '''Light'''. These are value judgements, applying your own sense of right and wrong to the history, and explaining it to others. You can never be 'wrong' about what the Tone of something is, but you do have to explain it. <br />
<br />
== Starting A Game ==<br />
<br />
#'''Big Picture'''<br />
#*Create a one-sentence summary of the world you want make. Something like "''Mankind leaves the sick Earth behind and spreads out to the stars''" or "''An ancient empire rises and falls.''"; history in the broadest possible overview. Don't worry about it being generic; the interesting parts come from the details. <br />
#'''Bookend History'''<br />
#*History will be divided into Periods, large time spans that could be decades or centuries. Describe how the history begins and ends; everything else in the game will take place between these two periods. Decide whether or not the period is Light or Dark, and agree on a short description of each period - no more than a paragraph or so.<br />
#'''Palette'''<br />
#*The Palette is a list of things the players agree to reserve the right to include or, conversely, outright ban. It gets everyone on the same page about what belongs in the history and what doesn’t. Everyone can choose to add something to the Palette, or ban something. Adding something means that the element, whatever it is, belongs in the history even if it seems out of place otherwise, and it's always okay to introduce it. A ban is the opposite - it's never okay to introduce that. If everyone has added or banned something, repeat, until at least one person doesn't want to add or ban anything. The Palette doesn't need to be an exhaustive list, just a list of exceptions - you wouldn't need to add 'dwarves' to the Palette of a fantasy game, but you would need to add 'wizards' to a space opera game. Conversely, you wouldn't need to ban 'knights' from a cyberpunk history, but you would need to ban 'knights' from a fantasy game. <br />
#'''First Pass'''<br />
#*Players add either another Period between the bookends, or an Event (a specific thing that happened inside a period), going in any order.<br />
<br />
== Playing The Game ==<br />
<br />
#One player is the '''Lens''' for a given round. They pick a '''Focus''' for a round; it could be a specific individual, a concept, a theme, an object, an organization - whatever. Everything has to be related to that thing. <br />
#The Lens goes first, and creates a Period, Event, or Scene, ''or'' creates a pair of nested objects - a Period, and an Event inside that Period, or an Event, and a Scene inside that Event. <br />
#Everyone else goes in order (to the 'left'), creating a Period, Event, or Scene. <br />
#*The only limits to what you can do are - Don’t contradict what’s already been said, Make sure what you add relates to the current Focus, and Don’t use anything from the No column of the Palette.<br />
#The Lens goes again, and can again make a nested creation.<br />
#The player to the 'right' of the Lens picks something created or referenced in the last round to be a Legacy (or keeps their current Legacy). They then make an Event or Dictated Scene about any one of the existing Legacies. <br />
#Quick intermission to discuss how the game is going - talk about what you liked or what intrigues you, but don't plan what happens next. Then, the player to the 'left' of the Lens becomes the new Lens, and the process repeats. <br />
<br />
== Scenes ==<br />
<br />
Scenes are the part of Microscope where you take the roles of specific characters. The rules for scenes are the largest individual chunk of the book, and while they're not complicated, they're slow on IRC, and sometimes confusing even for people who grok what they're doing. I'm not saying we should necessarily avoid them - but I'd be comfortable doing so. <br />
<br />
In addition to the dictated scene - where a player just says what happens in a scene, like an Event - another way to run a scene is the Election Scene. The player whose turn it is decides the setting and question, then asks for answers to the question. Every player has the opportunity to propose answers to the question (including the person who asked it), and then the group votes. The person whose vote won dictates the course of the scene. <br />
<br />
== History Seeds / Genre Ideas ==<br />
<br />
Some possible history seeds and genres. Feel free to add new ideas. <br />
<br />
#Space pirate gangs become new empires after the old empire collapses.<br />
#A fantastic society descends into tyranny based on sorcerous power to compel binding oaths and read minds.<br />
#Inhabitants of a megastructure fight for control of their environment and destiny. <br />
<br />

[[Hisa's Garden Classes]]<br><br />
<br />
The PCs are a small school club dedicated to Altima's VRMMO experience. You actually only joined Altima fairly recently – within the past year following the quiet announcement of its impending shutdown, and in any case long after the game had gone to slumber. In that time, you've played the game for the game's sake, learning mechanics and doing quests done innumerable times before by others. You've wandered a world gone silent and walked amongst the great works of your forebears.<br />
<br />
===Characters===<br />
[[Jumonji Kazoe (WHITE★ASH)]] Human Barbarian/Gladiator/Blade Evoker<br><br />
[[Kanzaki Rebecca (Semiramis-Hime!)]] | Dark Elf/Vampire Dark Sorceror/Demonologist/Artificer <br><br />
[[Miyata Miyuki (Saikyo_Suneiku)]] | Lamia/Dark Lamia Alchemist/Bard/Witch/Enchantress/Priestess/Puppeteer <br><br />
[[Takashi Moriko (Solvisi)]] | Pixieblood Witch/Sorcerer/Necromancer/High Witch<br><br />
[[Nagato Shinji (Princess Momiji of the Blue Moon Garden)]] | Human Rhapsode<br><br />
[[Hifumi Naomi (APOLLO☀RIDER)]] High Elf Tamer/Guardian/Martial Artist/Kaguraka/Beast King<br />
<br />
=Basic Creation=<br />
A rejigging is under way.<br />
<br />
'''Name''' <br><br />
You're from a school in Amahara but there can be a token foreigner. Naturally, all members of the Altima Archaeology Club know each other. Whether you use it at all in other contexts is entirely up to you.<br />
<br />
'''In-Game Name'''<br><br />
This can be anything, including numbers and special characters so long as it doesn't contain anything filtered. Within virtual reality, any magic involving a person's name will turn up this name.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br><br />
You were a high school student in Amahara. It is important to define who you were and where you came from, even though one has left that life behind.<br />
<br />
'''Motivator'''<br><br />
Each character has one or more unique plot hooks or Motivators that will be unique to them. If a liminal race is selected, then dealing with the realities of your new existence would be (one of) your motivators. If you have no strong preferences or if you resolve your existing hooks, then the GM will assign more.<br />
<br />
''Examples'':<br />
* You struggle to deal with the extremely real drawbacks of your chosen race.<br />
* You are the founder and president of the Altima Archaeology Club so you're the natural leader.<br />
* You are the heir of some great guild.<br />
* You have a skill from your previous life that turns out incredibly useful in the new world.<br />
* You are the designated shounenko.<br />
<br />
'''Hobbies'''<br><br />
Pick a hobby.<br />
<br />
'''Appearance'''<br><br />
The appearance as well as vocal tone and even body odour of your character in game. This is, in all respects, your new body. In particular, it does not have to be the same gender nor remotely similar in any way to your old body which is now but a memory, though it does necessarily reflect the character's chosen Race levels. Altima was notorious for its level of character customization. When you include upper "evolved" races, there are literally hundreds of race options and combinations, up to and including "beholders".<br />
<br />
That said, most of the blatantly inhuman races came with heavy drawbacks in return to sometimes quite niche abilities or stat caps, with some being strictly academic choices or curiosities where optimization was concerned. Aside from that, there were real psychological reasons why most players opted to simply be enhanced or beautified versions of themselves, or at least played characters that maintained their real life gender and avoided gross deviations from human norms.<br />
<br />
==Talents==<br />
'''Talents''' account for the natural aptitude and experience you have for VR games. There are six in three categories – '''Skills''', '''Smarts''' and '''Socials'''. Skills cover your actual ability to play the core game, which is mostly about fighting computer controlled entities or other humans in a virtual reality. It is important for fighting, tolerance of builds with high skill floors, negotiating dangerous environments or any task that requires speed, precision, timing, or failing that, sheer perseverence. Smarts cover the perceptual and intellectual aspects of gameplay in the virtual reality of the world and are the foundations upon which savvy players can build advantage, mould situations and win battles before they are fought. Finally, Socials govern your interaction with the characters and societies and organizations of the virtual world and participation in the unavoidable community aspect of massively multiplayer gaming. These sets of paired Talents have overlap but are also very complementary. While they are often both able to accomplish something, they will do so in significantly different ways and often with very different consequences. Of particular note, only one of the two in each set can be used to actually initiate an action but the other one always wins initiative. They can be seen as "active" and "reactive" counterparts to each other. <br />
<br />
Every rolled action in the game is based on a pool of '''Source''' dice derived from the relative resources being thrown at the problem against a difficulty modified by the Talent the action is based on. Talents can themselves be used as a pool of Source dice – but only when the difficulty threshold based off a ''different'' Talent and generally only for actions that must depend on the player's inherent qualities because very few in-game traits or skills could possibly apply. Each dot you have in a Talent ''reduces'' your difficulty threshold by 1 from 10. This threshold of (10 – talent) is what you're actually using when rolling dice. Additionally, having high levels of any Talent provides quite significant bonuses to the character, the intent being to make people with different main stats be very different people.<br />
<br />
You start with one dot in everything and 18 dots to further distribute. The maximum number of dots you can have in one field is seven. Talents may drop temporarily due to damage but unlike White Wolf attributes raisable by exp, you should not expect permanent gains to be made very often.<br />
<br />
Regardless, rolling a 1 is always a failure and a 10 is always a success.<br />
<br />
===Focus (Active Skills)===<br />
Focus is a matter of execution – it allows you to put a game plan into action with precision and timing even if you aren't a particularly precise or timely person normally - at least not without practice. When necessary, tasks requiring sheer patience and dedication also fall under Focus. One way of looking at it is as a measure of how hardcore a gamer you are. Characters approaching from the perspective of a genre veteran may well have high Focus as a result. Those with high levels of this Talent almost always log more hours than their peers.<br />
<br />
'''Focused Effect'''<br><br />
Focus actions tend to be more (sometimes much more) effective but slower than Reflexive ones.<br />
<br />
'''Liminal Race Unlock'''<br><br />
Minimum Focus 4.<br />
<br />
'''Starting Levels'''<br><br />
Having high Focus starts you off at a higher level. That said, everyone will gain levels and those lower down gain them faster so everyone will inevitably draw more or less even at some point.<br><br />

●●●●●●●: 60+ <br><br />
<br />
===Reflexes (Reactive Skills)===<br />
Reflexes are your ability to act and react quickly and effectively to enemy movements and sudden danger (if you see them coming). This correlates well with skill in fast-paced traditional video games, or real life athletics or martial arts. Nevertheless, FullDive ultimately transcends the limitations imposed by the human body and some otherwise unassuming people happen to have incredibly well wired brains for this interaction. Reflex based players are flexible and unparalleled in their ability to survive unexpected situations or blind encounters if they have a class that suits their particular aptitude.<br />
<br />
'''Extra Actions'''<br><br />
Higher levels of Reflexes grants extra actions usable for physical and defensive actions. <br><br />

'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Knowledge (Active Smarts)===<br />
Knowledge is the province of those who like to understand the game before playing it. Unsurprisingly, those with high levels of this Talent are often smarter (or more curious) than everyone else and usually spend a great deal of time doing research. While knowing is only half the battle and is sometimes found wanting for practical solutions, Knowledge covers a vast array of topics like encounter mechanics, build synergy, obscure locations, NPCs and items, or server politics and economics.<br />
<br />
'''Altima Lore'''<br><br />
Characters with higher levels of Knowledge don't need to roll for issues and questions pertaining to Altima as it was before the party became trapped.<br><br />

<br />
'''Build Synergy'''<br><br />
Those with high Knowledge are presumed to have better build synergy. Added dice when combining classes?<br />
<br />
===Perception (Reactive Smarts)===<br />
Perception is the ability to quickly and accurately perceive even amidst complex or distracting situations and is especially effective if the character also knows what they are looking for. This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming. While fairly passive in nature, a character with high situational awareness can mitigate damage or avoid dangerous situations entirely.<br />
<br />
'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Charisma (Active Socials)===<br />
Charisma is your ability to make an impression, draw a reaction, to be popular and welcome or hated and reviled with particular animosity – your mileage may vary. You can use it to fit in ''or'' to stand out though more often than not it will only bring the tsun out of the tsundere at first. This is obviously a very important talent for those who want to be visible leaders in some capacity – perhaps even more important than the smarts to actually do things yourself, so long as you have clever allies. Finally, Charisma governs a person's deeper reserve of abstract will, which is part of what makes them compelling people.<br />
<br />
'''Fate'''<br><br />
High Charisma gives you Fate.<br><br />
●●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
<br />
===Manipulation (Reactive Socials)===<br />
Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer. People with high Manipulation have a sharp air about them that can seem scary to bystanders even if the person is essentially good. It even has combat utility in niche areas, such as for manipulating aggro from enemies in combat or certain rare classes.<br />
<br />
'''Bonuses'''<br><br />

<br />
==Classes==<br />
For the purposes of Hisa's Garden, characters gain one point to distribute amongst Classes for each 5 in-game levels their character has. Fluffwise, your level distribution can be anything you like and need not multiples of five, though many Classes have those as break points. The exact effects of your classes should be discussed with the GM. Altima classes were numerous but specific in their nature as it was understood that each character would have many of them. The main limitations are that each has to be consistent and distinct and that tier 2 and 3 classes with more exotic abilities must come from ''somewhere''.<br />
<br />
Every character has at least one race selected at character creation. Selecting or gaining any race, even at 0 levels, results in the avatar reflecting that appearance and invokes full racial disadvantages if any.<br />
<br />
==Gear==<br />
Gear adds dice or soak, probably with penalties if it's underleveled.<br />
<br />
=System=<br />
This system will inevitably be fudged around as balance is found.<br />
<br />
==Initiative/Turn Order==<br />
*Init: d(Perception) based on Reflexes. In the beginning, this only applies between <br />
<br />
*Those declaring actions based on active talents (Focus, Knowledge or Charisma) declare first. *Anyone that doesn't will be reacting with reactive talents (Reflexes, Perception or Manipulation).<br />
*NPCs will ordinarily declare their Focus actions first.<br />
<br />
*Everyone else can respond with reactive talents.<br />
*Abort: d(Perception) based on Reflexes against some threshold. You must have a Reflex action available and will lose the Focus action.<br />
*Round ends when everyone is out of actions.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
In general most of the best magic has a vocal component and is always Focus. Sometimes they automatically telegraph as well. Physical actions have a bit more leeway. For special triggers like forcing a save when hitting with a Reflexive attack, dropping dots or whatever, it is important to have a Class feature for it.<br />
<br />
'''Active Defense''': Using Focus on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry) and trusting that it will be relevant when everything resolves. This allows defending others as well as use of defensive magic.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Defense''': Using Reflexes on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry). This is more or less always going to be a personal defense thing.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense''': Active when using no Focus action at all. Reflexes becomes the passive defense (possibly with a minus) that decreases per attack received.<br />
<br />
:'''Dodge''': Avoid an attack by not being in the way. Requires space and some attacks are very hard to dodge.<br />
<br />
:'''Acrobatics''': Avoid an attack by getting way out of the way. Has more requirements to execute (like Class or magic) but is the only way to defend against, say, a poison cloud.<br />
<br />
:'''Parry''': Put whatever is in your hand in the way of the attack. Not always applicable.<br />
<br />
:'''Block''': A better parry that requires a barrier, shield or something.<br />
<br />
'''Focus Attack''': Most of the strongest attacks.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Attack''': Weaker but quicker. May force a save for foes attempting a Focus action.<br />

<br />
The PCs are a small school club dedicated to Altima's VRMMO experience. You actually only joined Altima fairly recently – within the past year following the quiet announcement of its impending shutdown, and in any case long after the game had gone to slumber. In that time, you've played the game for the game's sake, learning mechanics and doing quests done innumerable times before by others. You've wandered a world gone silent and walked amongst the great works of your forebears.<br />
<br />
===Characters===<br />
[[Jumonji Kazoe (WHITE★ASH)]] Human Barbarian/Gladiator/Blade Evoker<br><br />
[[Kanzaki Rebecca (Semiramis-Hime!)]] | Dark Elf/Vampire Dark Sorceror/Demonologist/Artificer <br><br />
[[Miyata Miyuki (Saikyo_Suneiku)]] | Lamia/Dark Lamia Alchemist/Bard/Witch/Enchantress/Priestess/Puppeteer <br><br />
[[Takashi Moriko (Solvisi)]] | Pixieblood Sorcerer/Witch/Druid/High Witch<br><br />
[[Nagato Shinji (Princess Momiji of the Blue Moon Garden)]] | Human Rhapsode<br><br />
[[Hifumi Naomi (APOLLO☀RIDER)]] High Elf Tamer/Guardian/Martial Artist/Kaguraka/Beast King<br />
<br />
=Basic Creation=<br />
A rejigging is under way.<br />
<br />
'''Name''' <br><br />
You're from a school in Amahara but there can be a token foreigner. Naturally, all members of the Altima Archaeology Club know each other. Whether you use it at all in other contexts is entirely up to you.<br />
<br />
'''In-Game Name'''<br><br />
This can be anything, including numbers and special characters so long as it doesn't contain anything filtered. Within virtual reality, any magic involving a person's name will turn up this name.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br><br />
You were a high school student in Amahara. It is important to define who you were and where you came from, even though one has left that life behind.<br />
<br />
'''Motivator'''<br><br />
Each character has one or more unique plot hooks or Motivators that will be unique to them. If a liminal race is selected, then dealing with the realities of your new existence would be (one of) your motivators. If you have no strong preferences or if you resolve your existing hooks, then the GM will assign more.<br />
<br />
''Examples'':<br />
* You struggle to deal with the extremely real drawbacks of your chosen race.<br />
* You are the founder and president of the Altima Archaeology Club so you're the natural leader.<br />
* You are the heir of some great guild.<br />
* You have a skill from your previous life that turns out incredibly useful in the new world.<br />
* You are the designated shounenko.<br />
<br />
'''Hobbies'''<br><br />
Pick a hobby.<br />
<br />
'''Appearance'''<br><br />
The appearance as well as vocal tone and even body odour of your character in game. This is, in all respects, your new body. In particular, it does not have to be the same gender nor remotely similar in any way to your old body which is now but a memory, though it does necessarily reflect the character's chosen Race levels. Altima was notorious for its level of character customization. When you include upper "evolved" races, there are literally hundreds of race options and combinations, up to and including "beholders".<br />
<br />
That said, most of the blatantly inhuman races came with heavy drawbacks in return to sometimes quite niche abilities or stat caps, with some being strictly academic choices or curiosities where optimization was concerned. Aside from that, there were real psychological reasons why most players opted to simply be enhanced or beautified versions of themselves, or at least played characters that maintained their real life gender and avoided gross deviations from human norms.<br />
<br />
==Talents==<br />
'''Talents''' account for the natural aptitude and experience you have for VR games. There are six in three categories – '''Skills''', '''Smarts''' and '''Socials'''. Skills cover your actual ability to play the core game, which is mostly about fighting computer controlled entities or other humans in a virtual reality. It is important for fighting, tolerance of builds with high skill floors, negotiating dangerous environments or any task that requires speed, precision, timing, or failing that, sheer perseverence. Smarts cover the perceptual and intellectual aspects of gameplay in the virtual reality of the world and are the foundations upon which savvy players can build advantage, mould situations and win battles before they are fought. Finally, Socials govern your interaction with the characters and societies and organizations of the virtual world and participation in the unavoidable community aspect of massively multiplayer gaming. These sets of paired Talents have overlap but are also very complementary. While they are often both able to accomplish something, they will do so in significantly different ways and often with very different consequences. Of particular note, only one of the two in each set can be used to actually initiate an action but the other one always wins initiative. They can be seen as "active" and "reactive" counterparts to each other. <br />
<br />
Every rolled action in the game is based on a pool of '''Source''' dice derived from the relative resources being thrown at the problem against a difficulty modified by the Talent the action is based on. Talents can themselves be used as a pool of Source dice – but only when the difficulty threshold based off a ''different'' Talent and generally only for actions that must depend on the player's inherent qualities because very few in-game traits or skills could possibly apply. Each dot you have in a Talent ''reduces'' your difficulty threshold by 1 from 10. This threshold of (10 – talent) is what you're actually using when rolling dice. Additionally, having high levels of any Talent provides quite significant bonuses to the character, the intent being to make people with different main stats be very different people.<br />
<br />
You start with one dot in everything and 18 dots to further distribute. The maximum number of dots you can have in one field is seven. Talents may drop temporarily due to damage but unlike White Wolf attributes raisable by exp, you should not expect permanent gains to be made very often.<br />
<br />
Regardless, rolling a 1 is always a failure and a 10 is always a success.<br />
<br />
===Focus (Active Skills)===<br />
Focus is a matter of execution – it allows you to put a game plan into action with precision and timing even if you aren't a particularly precise or timely person normally - at least not without practice. When necessary, tasks requiring sheer patience and dedication also fall under Focus. One way of looking at it is as a measure of how hardcore a gamer you are. Characters approaching from the perspective of a genre veteran may well have high Focus as a result. Those with high levels of this Talent almost always log more hours than their peers.<br />
<br />

Reflexes are your ability to act and react quickly and effectively to enemy movements and sudden danger (if you see them coming). This correlates well with skill in fast-paced traditional video games, or real life athletics or martial arts. Nevertheless, FullDive ultimately transcends the limitations imposed by the human body and some otherwise unassuming people happen to have incredibly well wired brains for this interaction.

<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />

<br />
===Knowledge (Active Smarts)===<br />
Knowledge is the province of those who like to understand the game before playing it. Unsurprisingly, those with high levels of this Talent are often smarter (or more curious) than everyone else and usually spend a great deal of time doing research. While knowing is only half the battle and is sometimes found wanting for practical solutions, Knowledge covers a vast array of topics like encounter mechanics, build synergy, obscure locations, NPCs and items, or server politics and economics.<br />

'''Build Synergy'''<br><br />
Those with high Knowledge are presumed to have better build synergy. Added dice when combining classes?<br />
<br />
===Perception (Reactive Smarts)===<br />
Perception is the ability to quickly and accurately perceive even amidst complex or distracting situations and is especially effective if the character also knows what they are looking for. This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming.

===Manipulation (Reactive Socials)===<br />
Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer.

You actually only joined Altima fairly recently – within the past year following the quiet announcement of its impending shutdown, and in any case long after the game had gone to slumber. In that time, you've played the game for the game's sake, learning mechanics and doing quests done innumerable times before by others. You've wandered a world gone silent and walked amongst the great works of your forebears.<br />

=Basic Creation=<br />
A rejigging is under way.<br />
<br />
'''Name''' <br><br />
You're from a school in Amahara but there can be a token foreigner. Naturally, all members of the Altima Archaeology Club know each other. Whether you use it at all in other contexts is entirely up to you.<br />
<br />
'''In-Game Name'''<br><br />
This can be anything, including numbers and special characters so long as it doesn't contain anything filtered. Within virtual reality, any magic involving a person's name will turn up this name.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br><br />
You were a high school student in Amahara. It is important to define who you were and where you came from, even though one has left that life behind.<br />
<br />
'''Motivator'''<br><br />
Each character has one or more unique plot hooks or Motivators that will be unique to them. If a liminal race is selected, then dealing with the realities of your new existence would be (one of) your motivators. If you have no strong preferences or if you resolve your existing hooks, then the GM will assign more.<br />
<br />
''Examples'':<br />
* You struggle to deal with the extremely real drawbacks of your chosen race.<br />
* You are the founder and president of the Altima Archaeology Club so you're the natural leader.<br />
* You are the heir of some great guild.<br />
* You have a skill from your previous life that turns out incredibly useful in the new world.<br />
* You are the designated shounenko.<br />
<br />
'''Hobbies'''<br><br />
Pick a hobby.<br />
<br />
'''Appearance'''<br><br />
The appearance as well as vocal tone and even body odour of your character in game. This is, in all respects, your new body. In particular, it does not have to be the same gender nor remotely similar in any way to your old body which is now but a memory, though it does necessarily reflect the character's chosen Race levels. Altima was notorious for its level of character customization. When you include upper "evolved" races, there are literally hundreds of race options and combinations, up to and including "beholders".<br />
<br />
That said, most of the blatantly inhuman races came with heavy drawbacks in return to sometimes quite niche abilities or stat caps, with some being strictly academic choices or curiosities where optimization was concerned. Aside from that, there were real psychological reasons why most players opted to simply be enhanced or beautified versions of themselves, or at least played characters that maintained their real life gender and avoided gross deviations from human norms.<br />
<br />
==Talents==<br />
'''Talents''' account for the natural aptitude and experience you have for VR games. There are six in three categories – '''Skills''', '''Smarts''' and '''Socials'''. Skills cover your actual ability to play the core game, which is mostly about fighting computer controlled entities or other humans in a virtual reality. It is important for fighting, tolerance of builds with high skill floors, negotiating dangerous environments or any task that requires speed, precision, timing, or failing that, sheer perseverence. Smarts cover the perceptual and intellectual aspects of gameplay in the virtual reality of the world and are the foundations upon which savvy players can build advantage, mould situations and win battles before they are fought. Finally, Socials govern your interaction with the characters and societies and organizations of the virtual world and participation in the unavoidable community aspect of massively multiplayer gaming. These sets of paired Talents have overlap but are also very complementary. While they are often both able to accomplish something, they will do so in significantly different ways and often with very different consequences. Of particular note, only one of the two in each set can be used to actually initiate an action but the other one always wins initiative. They can be seen as "active" and "reactive" counterparts to each other. <br />
<br />
Every rolled action in the game is based on a pool of '''Source''' dice derived from the relative resources being thrown at the problem against a difficulty modified by the Talent the action is based on. Talents can themselves be used as a pool of Source dice – but only when the difficulty threshold based off a ''different'' Talent and generally only for actions that must depend on the player's inherent qualities because very few in-game traits or skills could possibly apply. Each dot you have in a Talent ''reduces'' your difficulty threshold by 1 from 10. This threshold of (10 – talent) is what you're actually using when rolling dice. Additionally, having high levels of any Talent provides quite significant bonuses to the character, the intent being to make people with different main stats be very different people.<br />
<br />
You start with one dot in everything and 18 dots to further distribute. The maximum number of dots you can have in one field is seven. Talents may drop temporarily due to damage but unlike White Wolf attributes raisable by exp, you should not expect permanent gains to be made very often.<br />
<br />
Regardless, rolling a 1 is always a failure and a 10 is always a success.<br />
<br />
===Focus (Active Skills)===<br />
Focus is a matter of execution – it allows you to put a game plan into action with precision and timing even if you aren't a particularly precise or timely person normally - at least not without practice. When necessary, tasks requiring sheer patience and dedication also fall under Focus. One way of looking at it is as a measure of how hardcore a gamer you are. Characters approaching from the perspective of a genre veteran may well have high Focus as a result. Those with high levels of this Talent almost always log more hours than their peers.<br />
<br />
'''Focused Effect'''<br><br />
Focus actions tend to be more (sometimes much more) effective but slower than Reflexive ones.<br />
<br />
'''Liminal Race Unlock'''<br><br />
Minimum Focus 4.<br />
<br />
'''Starting Levels'''<br><br />
Having high Focus starts you off at a higher level. That said, everyone will gain levels and those lower down gain them faster so everyone will inevitably draw more or less even at some point.<br><br />

●●●●: 45+<br><br />
●●●●●: 50+<br><br />
●●●●●●: 55+<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 60+ <br><br />
<br />
===Reflexes (Reactive Skills)===<br />
Reflexes are your ability to act and react quickly and effectively to enemy movements and sudden danger (if you see them coming). This correlates well with skill in fast-paced traditional video games, or real life athletics or martial arts. Nevertheless, FullDive ultimately transcends the limitations imposed by the human body and some otherwise unassuming people happen to have incredibly well wired brains for this interaction. Reflex based players are flexible and unparalleled in their ability to survive unexpected situations or blind encounters if they have a class that suits their particular aptitude.<br />
<br />
'''Extra Actions'''<br><br />
Higher levels of Reflexes grants extra actions usable for physical and defensive actions. <br><br />
●●●●: +1<br><br />
●●●●●: +2<br><br />
●●●●●●: +3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: +4<br><br />

'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Knowledge (Active Smarts)===<br />
Knowledge is the province of those who like to understand the game before playing it. Unsurprisingly, those with high levels of this Talent are often smarter (or more curious) than everyone else and usually spend a great deal of time doing research. While knowing is only half the battle and is sometimes found wanting for practical solutions, Knowledge covers a vast array of topics like encounter mechanics, build synergy, obscure locations, NPCs and items, or server politics and economics.<br />
<br />
'''Altima Lore'''<br><br />
Characters with higher levels of Knowledge don't need to roll for issues and questions pertaining to Altima as it was before the party became trapped.<br><br />
●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 4<br><br />
<br />
'''Build Synergy'''<br><br />
Those with high Knowledge are presumed to have better build synergy. Added dice when combining classes?<br />
<br />
===Perception (Reactive Smarts)===<br />
Perception is the ability to quickly and accurately perceive even amidst complex or distracting situations and is especially effective if the character also knows what they are looking for. This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming. While fairly passive in nature, a character with high situational awareness can mitigate damage or avoid dangerous situations entirely.<br />
<br />
'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Charisma (Active Socials)===<br />
Charisma is your ability to make an impression, draw a reaction, to be popular and welcome or hated and reviled with particular animosity – your mileage may vary. You can use it to fit in ''or'' to stand out though more often than not it will only bring the tsun out of the tsundere at first. This is obviously a very important talent for those who want to be visible leaders in some capacity – perhaps even more important than the smarts to actually do things yourself, so long as you have clever allies. Finally, Charisma governs a person's deeper reserve of abstract will, which is part of what makes them compelling people.<br />
<br />
'''Fate'''<br><br />
High Charisma gives you Fate.<br><br />
●●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
<br />
===Manipulation (Reactive Socials)===<br />
Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer. People with high Manipulation have a sharp air about them that can seem scary to bystanders even if the person is essentially good. It even has combat utility in niche areas, such as for manipulating aggro from enemies in combat or certain rare classes.<br />
<br />
'''Bonuses'''<br><br />
tbd<br />
<br />
==Classes==<br />
For the purposes of Hisa's Garden, characters gain one point to distribute amongst Classes for each 5 in-game levels their character has. Fluffwise, your level distribution can be anything you like and need not multiples of five, though many Classes have those as break points. The exact effects of your classes should be discussed with the GM. Altima classes were numerous but specific in their nature as it was understood that each character would have many of them. The main limitations are that each has to be consistent and distinct and that tier 2 and 3 classes with more exotic abilities must come from ''somewhere''.<br />
<br />
Every character has at least one race selected at character creation. Selecting or gaining any race, even at 0 levels, results in the avatar reflecting that appearance and invokes full racial disadvantages if any.<br />
<br />
==Gear==<br />
Gear adds dice or soak, probably with penalties if it's underleveled.<br />
<br />
=System=<br />
This system will inevitably be fudged around as balance is found.<br />
<br />
==Initiative/Turn Order==<br />
*Init: d(Perception) based on Reflexes. In the beginning, this only applies between <br />
<br />
*Those declaring actions based on active talents (Focus, Knowledge or Charisma) declare first. *Anyone that doesn't will be reacting with reactive talents (Reflexes, Perception or Manipulation).<br />
*NPCs will ordinarily declare their Focus actions first.<br />
<br />
*Everyone else can respond with reactive talents.<br />
*Abort: d(Perception) based on Reflexes against some threshold. You must have a Reflex action available and will lose the Focus action.<br />
*Round ends when everyone is out of actions.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
In general most of the best magic has a vocal component and is always Focus. Sometimes they automatically telegraph as well. Physical actions have a bit more leeway. For special triggers like forcing a save when hitting with a Reflexive attack, dropping dots or whatever, it is important to have a Class feature for it.<br />
<br />
'''Active Defense''': Using Focus on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry) and trusting that it will be relevant when everything resolves. This allows defending others as well as use of defensive magic.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Defense''': Using Reflexes on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry). This is more or less always going to be a personal defense thing.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense''': Active when using no Focus action at all. Reflexes becomes the passive defense (possibly with a minus) that decreases per attack received.<br />
<br />
:'''Dodge''': Avoid an attack by not being in the way. Requires space and some attacks are very hard to dodge.<br />
<br />
:'''Acrobatics''': Avoid an attack by getting way out of the way. Has more requirements to execute (like Class or magic) but is the only way to defend against, say, a poison cloud.<br />
<br />
:'''Parry''': Put whatever is in your hand in the way of the attack. Not always applicable.<br />
<br />
:'''Block''': A better parry that requires a barrier, shield or something.<br />
<br />
'''Focus Attack''': Most of the strongest attacks.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Attack''': Weaker but quicker. May force a save for foes attempting a Focus action.<br />
<br />

'''Reflexive Defense''': Using Reflexes on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry). This is more or less always going to be a personal defense thing.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense''': Active when using no Focus action at all. Reflexes becomes the passive defense (possibly with a minus) that decreases per attack received.<br />
<br />
:'''Dodge''': Avoid an attack by not being in the way. Requires space and some attacks are very hard to dodge.<br />
<br />
:'''Acrobatics''': Avoid an attack by getting way out of the way. Has more requirements to execute (like Class or magic) but is the only way to defend against, say, a poison cloud.<br />
<br />
:'''Parry''': Put whatever is in your hand in the way of the attack. Not always applicable.<br />
<br />
:'''Block''': A better parry that requires a barrier, shield or something.<br />
<br />
'''Focus Attack''': Most of the strongest attacks.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Attack''': Weaker but quicker. May force a save for foes attempting a Focus action.<br />

[[Hisa's Garden Classes]]<br><br />
<br />
The PCs are a small school club dedicated to Altima's VRMMO experience. You actually only joined Altima fairly recently – within the past year following the quiet announcement of its impending shutdown, and in any case long after the game had gone to slumber. In that time, you've played the game for the game's sake, learning mechanics and doing quests done innumerable times before by others. You've wandered a world gone silent and walked amongst the great works of your forebears.<br />
<br />
===Characters===<br />
[[Jumonji Kazoe (WHITE★ASH)]] Human Barbarian/Gladiator/Blade Evoker<br><br />
[[Kanzaki Rebecca (Semiramis-Hime!)]] | Dark Elf/Vampire Dark Sorceror/Demonologist/Artificer <br><br />
[[Miyata Miyuki (Saikyo_Suneiku)]] | Lamia/Dark Lamia Alchemist/Bard/Witch/Enchantress/Priestess/Puppeteer <br><br />
[[Takashi Moriko (Solvisi)]] | Pixieblood Shaman/Witch/Druid/High Elfbr><br />
[[Nagato Shinji (Princess Momiji of the Blue Moon Garden)]] | Human Rhapsode<br><br />
[[Hifumi Naomi (APOLLO☀RIDER)]] High Elf Tamer/Guardian/Martial Artist/Kaguraka/Beast King<br />
<br />
=Basic Creation=<br />
A rejigging is under way.<br />
<br />
'''Name''' <br><br />
You're from a school in Amahara but there can be a token foreigner. Naturally, all members of the Altima Archaeology Club know each other. Whether you use it at all in other contexts is entirely up to you.<br />
<br />
'''In-Game Name'''<br><br />
This can be anything, including numbers and special characters so long as it doesn't contain anything filtered. Within virtual reality, any magic involving a person's name will turn up this name.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br><br />
You were a high school student in Amahara. It is important to define who you were and where you came from, even though one has left that life behind.<br />
<br />
'''Motivator'''<br><br />
Each character has one or more unique plot hooks or Motivators that will be unique to them. If a liminal race is selected, then dealing with the realities of your new existence would be (one of) your motivators. If you have no strong preferences or if you resolve your existing hooks, then the GM will assign more.<br />
<br />
''Examples'':<br />
* You struggle to deal with the extremely real drawbacks of your chosen race.<br />
* You are the founder and president of the Altima Archaeology Club so you're the natural leader.<br />
* You are the heir of some great guild.<br />
* You have a skill from your previous life that turns out incredibly useful in the new world.<br />
* You are the designated shounenko.<br />
<br />
'''Hobbies'''<br><br />
Pick a hobby.<br />
<br />
'''Appearance'''<br><br />
The appearance as well as vocal tone and even body odour of your character in game. This is, in all respects, your new body. In particular, it does not have to be the same gender nor remotely similar in any way to your old body which is now but a memory, though it does necessarily reflect the character's chosen Race levels. Altima was notorious for its level of character customization. When you include upper "evolved" races, there are literally hundreds of race options and combinations, up to and including "beholders".<br />
<br />
That said, most of the blatantly inhuman races came with heavy drawbacks in return to sometimes quite niche abilities or stat caps, with some being strictly academic choices or curiosities where optimization was concerned. Aside from that, there were real psychological reasons why most players opted to simply be enhanced or beautified versions of themselves, or at least played characters that maintained their real life gender and avoided gross deviations from human norms.<br />
<br />
==Talents==<br />
'''Talents''' account for the natural aptitude and experience you have for VR games. There are six in three categories – '''Skills''', '''Smarts''' and '''Socials'''. Skills cover your actual ability to play the core game, which is mostly about fighting computer controlled entities or other humans in a virtual reality. It is important for fighting, tolerance of builds with high skill floors, negotiating dangerous environments or any task that requires speed, precision, timing, or failing that, sheer perseverence. Smarts cover the perceptual and intellectual aspects of gameplay in the virtual reality of the world and are the foundations upon which savvy players can build advantage, mould situations and win battles before they are fought. Finally, Socials govern your interaction with the characters and societies and organizations of the virtual world and participation in the unavoidable community aspect of massively multiplayer gaming. These sets of paired Talents have overlap but are also very complementary. While they are often both able to accomplish something, they will do so in significantly different ways and often with very different consequences. Of particular note, only one of the two in each set can be used to actually initiate an action but the other one always wins initiative. They can be seen as "active" and "reactive" counterparts to each other. <br />
<br />
Every rolled action in the game is based on a pool of '''Source''' dice derived from the relative resources being thrown at the problem against a difficulty modified by the Talent the action is based on. Talents can themselves be used as a pool of Source dice – but only when the difficulty threshold based off a ''different'' Talent and generally only for actions that must depend on the player's inherent qualities because very few in-game traits or skills could possibly apply. Each dot you have in a Talent ''reduces'' your difficulty threshold by 1 from 10. This threshold of (10 – talent) is what you're actually using when rolling dice. Additionally, having high levels of any Talent provides quite significant bonuses to the character, the intent being to make people with different main stats be very different people.<br />
<br />
You start with one dot in everything and 18 dots to further distribute. The maximum number of dots you can have in one field is seven. Talents may drop temporarily due to damage but unlike White Wolf attributes raisable by exp, you should not expect permanent gains to be made very often.<br />
<br />
Regardless, rolling a 1 is always a failure and a 10 is always a success.<br />
<br />
===Focus (Active Skills)===<br />
Focus is a matter of execution – it allows you to put a game plan into action with precision and timing even if you aren't a particularly precise or timely person normally - at least not without practice. When necessary, tasks requiring sheer patience and dedication also fall under Focus. One way of looking at it is as a measure of how hardcore a gamer you are. Characters approaching from the perspective of a genre veteran may well have high Focus as a result. Those with high levels of this Talent almost always log more hours than their peers.<br />
<br />
'''Focused Effect'''<br><br />
Focus actions tend to be more (sometimes much more) effective but slower than Reflexive ones.<br />
<br />
'''Liminal Race Unlock'''<br><br />
Minimum Focus 4.<br />
<br />
'''Starting Levels'''<br><br />
Having high Focus starts you off at a higher level. That said, everyone will gain levels and those lower down gain them faster so everyone will inevitably draw more or less even at some point.<br><br />
●: 25+<br><br />
●●: 35+<br><br />
●●●: 40+<br><br />
●●●●: 45+<br><br />
●●●●●: 50+<br><br />
●●●●●●: 55+<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 60+ <br><br />
<br />
===Reflexes (Reactive Skills)===<br />
Reflexes are your ability to act and react quickly and effectively to enemy movements and sudden danger (if you see them coming). This correlates well with skill in fast-paced traditional video games, or real life athletics or martial arts. Nevertheless, FullDive ultimately transcends the limitations imposed by the human body and some otherwise unassuming people happen to have incredibly well wired brains for this interaction. Reflex based players are flexible and unparalleled in their ability to survive unexpected situations or blind encounters if they have a class that suits their particular aptitude.<br />
<br />
'''Extra Actions'''<br><br />
Higher levels of Reflexes grants extra actions usable for physical and defensive actions. <br><br />
●●●●: +1<br><br />
●●●●●: +2<br><br />
●●●●●●: +3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: +4<br><br />
<br />
'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Knowledge (Active Smarts)===<br />
Knowledge is the province of those who like to understand the game before playing it. Unsurprisingly, those with high levels of this Talent are often smarter (or more curious) than everyone else and usually spend a great deal of time doing research. While knowing is only half the battle and is sometimes found wanting for practical solutions, Knowledge covers a vast array of topics like encounter mechanics, build synergy, obscure locations, NPCs and items, or server politics and economics.<br />
<br />
'''Altima Lore'''<br><br />
Characters with higher levels of Knowledge don't need to roll for issues and questions pertaining to Altima as it was before the party became trapped.<br><br />
●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 4<br><br />
<br />
'''Build Synergy'''<br><br />
Those with high Knowledge are presumed to have better build synergy. Added dice when combining classes?<br />
<br />
===Perception (Reactive Smarts)===<br />
Perception is the ability to quickly and accurately perceive even amidst complex or distracting situations and is especially effective if the character also knows what they are looking for. This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming. While fairly passive in nature, a character with high situational awareness can mitigate damage or avoid dangerous situations entirely.<br />
<br />
'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Charisma (Active Socials)===<br />
Charisma is your ability to make an impression, draw a reaction, to be popular and welcome or hated and reviled with particular animosity – your mileage may vary. You can use it to fit in ''or'' to stand out though more often than not it will only bring the tsun out of the tsundere at first. This is obviously a very important talent for those who want to be visible leaders in some capacity – perhaps even more important than the smarts to actually do things yourself, so long as you have clever allies. Finally, Charisma governs a person's deeper reserve of abstract will, which is part of what makes them compelling people.<br />
<br />
'''Fate'''<br><br />
High Charisma gives you Fate.<br><br />
●●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
<br />
===Manipulation (Reactive Socials)===<br />
Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer. People with high Manipulation have a sharp air about them that can seem scary to bystanders even if the person is essentially good. It even has combat utility in niche areas, such as for manipulating aggro from enemies in combat or certain rare classes.<br />
<br />
'''Bonuses'''<br><br />
tbd<br />
<br />
==Classes==<br />
For the purposes of Hisa's Garden, characters gain one point to distribute amongst Classes for each 5 in-game levels their character has. Fluffwise, your level distribution can be anything you like and need not multiples of five, though many Classes have those as break points. The exact effects of your classes should be discussed with the GM. Altima classes were numerous but specific in their nature as it was understood that each character would have many of them. The main limitations are that each has to be consistent and distinct and that tier 2 and 3 classes with more exotic abilities must come from ''somewhere''.<br />
<br />
Every character has at least one race selected at character creation. Selecting or gaining any race, even at 0 levels, results in the avatar reflecting that appearance and invokes full racial disadvantages if any.<br />
<br />
==Gear==<br />
Gear adds dice or soak, probably with penalties if it's underleveled.<br />
<br />
=System=<br />
This system will inevitably be fudged around as balance is found.<br />
<br />
==Initiative/Turn Order==<br />
*Init: d(Perception) based on Reflexes. In the beginning, this only applies between <br />
<br />
*Those declaring actions based on active talents (Focus, Knowledge or Charisma) declare first. *Anyone that doesn't will be reacting with reactive talents (Reflexes, Perception or Manipulation).<br />
*NPCs will ordinarily declare their Focus actions first.<br />
<br />
*Everyone else can respond with reactive talents.<br />
*Abort: d(Perception) based on Reflexes against some threshold. You must have a Reflex action available and will lose the Focus action.<br />
*Round ends when everyone is out of actions.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
In general most of the best magic has a vocal component and is always Focus. Sometimes they automatically telegraph as well. Physical actions have a bit more leeway. For special triggers like forcing a save when hitting with a Reflexive attack, dropping dots or whatever, it is important to have a Class feature for it.<br />
<br />
'''Active Defense''': Using Focus on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry) and trusting that it will be relevant when everything resolves. This allows defending others as well as use of defensive magic.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Defense''': Using Reflexes on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry). This is more or less always going to be a personal defense thing.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense''': Active when using no Focus action at all. Reflexes becomes the passive defense (possibly with a minus) that decreases per attack received.<br />
<br />
:'''Dodge''': Avoid an attack by not being in the way. Requires space and some attacks are very hard to dodge.<br />
<br />
:'''Acrobatics''': Avoid an attack by getting way out of the way. Has more requirements to execute (like Class or magic) but is the only way to defend against, say, a poison cloud.<br />
<br />
:'''Parry''': Put whatever is in your hand in the way of the attack. Not always applicable.<br />
<br />
:'''Block''': A better parry that requires a barrier, shield or something.<br />
<br />
'''Focus Attack''': Most of the strongest attacks.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Attack''': Weaker but quicker. May force a save for foes attempting a Focus action.<br />

This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming. While fairly passive in nature, a character with high situational awareness can mitigate damage or avoid dangerous situations entirely.<br />
<br />
'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Charisma (Active Socials)===<br />
Charisma is your ability to make an impression, draw a reaction, to be popular and welcome or hated and reviled with particular animosity – your mileage may vary. You can use it to fit in ''or'' to stand out though more often than not it will only bring the tsun out of the tsundere at first. This is obviously a very important talent for those who want to be visible leaders in some capacity – perhaps even more important than the smarts to actually do things yourself, so long as you have clever allies. Finally, Charisma governs a person's deeper reserve of abstract will, which is part of what makes them compelling people.<br />
<br />
'''Fate'''<br><br />
High Charisma gives you Fate.<br><br />

<br />
===Manipulation (Reactive Socials)===<br />
Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer. People with high Manipulation have a sharp air about them that can seem scary to bystanders even if the person is essentially good. It even has combat utility in niche areas, such as for manipulating aggro from enemies in combat or certain rare classes.<br />

==Classes==<br />
For the purposes of Hisa's Garden, characters gain one point to distribute amongst Classes for each 5 in-game levels their character has. Fluffwise, your level distribution can be anything you like and need not multiples of five, though many Classes have those as break points. The exact effects of your classes should be discussed with the GM. Altima classes were numerous but specific in their nature as it was understood that each character would have many of them. The main limitations are that each has to be consistent and distinct and that tier 2 and 3 classes with more exotic abilities must come from ''somewhere''.<br />
<br />
Every character has at least one race selected at character creation. Selecting or gaining any race, even at 0 levels, results in the avatar reflecting that appearance and invokes full racial disadvantages if any.<br />
<br />
==Gear==<br />
Gear adds dice or soak, probably with penalties if it's underleveled.<br />
<br />
=System=<br />
This system will inevitably be fudged around as balance is found.<br />
<br />
==Initiative/Turn Order==<br />
*Init: d(Perception) based on Reflexes. In the beginning, this only applies between <br />
<br />
*Those declaring actions based on active talents (Focus, Knowledge or Charisma) declare first. *Anyone that doesn't will be reacting with reactive talents (Reflexes, Perception or Manipulation).<br />
*NPCs will ordinarily declare their Focus actions first.<br />
<br />
*Everyone else can respond with reactive talents.<br />
*Abort: d(Perception) based on Reflexes against some threshold. You must have a Reflex action available and will lose the Focus action.<br />
*Round ends when everyone is out of actions.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
In general most of the best magic has a vocal component and is always Focus. Sometimes they automatically telegraph as well. Physical actions have a bit more leeway. For special triggers like forcing a save when hitting with a Reflexive attack, dropping dots or whatever, it is important to have a Class feature for it.<br />
<br />
'''Active Defense''': Using Focus on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry) and trusting that it will be relevant when everything resolves. This allows defending others as well as use of defensive magic.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Defense''': Using Reflexes on a defensive action (block, dodge or parry). This is more or less always going to be a personal defense thing.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense''': Active when using no Focus action at all. Reflexes becomes the passive defense (possibly with a minus) that decreases per attack received.<br />
<br />
:'''Dodge''': Avoid an attack by not being in the way. Requires space and some attacks are very hard to dodge.<br />
<br />
:'''Acrobatics''': Avoid an attack by getting way out of the way. Has more requirements to execute (like Class or magic) but is the only way to defend against, say, a poison cloud.<br />
<br />
:'''Parry''': Put whatever is in your hand in the way of the attack. Not always applicable.<br />
<br />
:'''Block''': A better parry that requires a barrier, shield or something.<br />
<br />
'''Focus Attack''': Most of the strongest attacks.<br />
<br />
'''Reflexive Attack''': Weaker but quicker. May force a save for foes attempting a Focus action.<br />

[[Hisa's Garden Classes]]<br><br />
<br />
The PCs are a small school club dedicated to Altima's VRMMO experience. You actually only joined Altima fairly recently – within the past year following the quiet announcement of its impending shutdown, and in any case long after the game had gone to slumber. In that time, you've played the game for the game's sake, learning mechanics and doing quests done innumerable times before by others. You've wandered a world gone silent and walked amongst the great works of your forebears.<br />
<br />
===Characters===<br />
[[Jumonji Kazoe (WHITE★ASH)]] Human Barbarian/Gladiator/Blade Evoker<br><br />
[[Kanzaki Rebecca (Semiramis-Hime!)]] | Dark Elf/Vampire Dark Sorceror/Demonologist/Artificer <br><br />
[[Miyata Miyuki (Saikyo_Suneiku)]] | Lamia/Dark Lamia Alchemist/Bard/Witch/Enchantress/Priestess/Puppeteer <br><br />
[[Takashi Moriko (Solvisi)]] | Pixie-Blood Sorcerer/Witch/Evoker/Abjurist<br><br />
[[Nagato Shinji (Princess Momiji of the Blue Moon Garden)]] | Human Rhapsode<br><br />
[[Nishimura Kohaku (AMBER♥HEART)]] Human Revenant/Dullahan Bard/Bravo/Gladiator/Soul Knight<br />
<br />
=Basic Creation=<br />
'''Name''' <br><br />
You're from a school in Amahara but there can be a token foreigner. Naturally, all members of the Altima Archaeology Club know each other. Whether you use it at all in other contexts is entirely up to you.<br />
<br />
'''In-Game Name'''<br><br />
This can be anything, including numbers and special characters so long as it doesn't contain anything filtered. Within virtual reality, any magic involving a person's name will turn up this name.<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br><br />
You were a high school student in Amahara. It is important to define who you were and where you came from, even though one has left that life behind.<br />
<br />
'''Motivator'''<br><br />
Each character has one or more unique plot hooks or Motivators that will be unique to them. If a liminal race is selected, then dealing with the realities of your new existence would be (one of) your motivators. If you have no strong preferences or if you resolve your existing hooks, then the GM will assign more.<br />
<br />
''Examples'':<br />
* You struggle to deal with the extremely real drawbacks of your chosen race.<br />
* You are the founder and president of the Altima Archaeology Club so you're the natural leader.<br />
* You are the heir of some great guild.<br />
* You have a skill from your previous life that turns out incredibly useful in the new world.<br />
* You are the designated shounenko.<br />
<br />
'''Hobbies'''<br><br />
Pick a hobby.<br />
<br />
'''Appearance'''<br><br />
The appearance as well as vocal tone and even body odour of your character in game. This is, in all respects, your new body. In particular, it does not have to be the same gender nor remotely similar in any way to your old body which is now but a memory, though it does necessarily reflect the character's chosen Race levels. Altima was notorious for its level of character customization. When you include upper "evolved" races, there are literally hundreds of race options and combinations, up to and including "beholders".<br />
<br />
That said, most of the blatantly inhuman races came with heavy drawbacks in return to sometimes quite niche abilities or stat caps, with some being strictly academic choices or curiosities where optimization was concerned. Aside from that, there were real psychological reasons why most players opted to simply be enhanced or beautified versions of themselves, or at least played characters that maintained their real life gender and avoided gross deviations from human norms.<br />
<br />
==Talents==<br />
'''Talents''' account for the natural aptitude and experience you have for VR games. There are six in three categories – '''Skills''', '''Smarts''' and '''Socials'''. Skills cover your actual ability to play the core game, which is mostly about fighting computer controlled entities or other humans in a virtual reality. It is important for fighting, tolerance of builds with high skill floors, negotiating dangerous environments or any task that requires speed, precision, timing, or failing that, sheer perseverence. Smarts cover the perceptual and intellectual aspects of gameplay in the virtual reality of the world and are the foundations upon which savvy players can build advantage, mould situations and win battles before they are fought. Finally, Socials govern your interaction with the characters and societies and organizations of the virtual world and participation in the unavoidable community aspect of massively multiplayer gaming. These sets of paired Talents have overlap but are also very complementary. While they are often both able to accomplish something, they will do so in significantly different ways and often with very different consequences. Of particular note, only one of the two in each set can be used to actually initiate an action but the other one always wins initiative. They can be seen as "active" and "reactive" counterparts to each other. <br />
<br />
Every rolled action in the game is based on a pool of '''Source''' dice derived from the relative resources being thrown at the problem against a difficulty modified by the Talent the action is based on. Talents can themselves be used as a pool of Source dice – but only when the difficulty threshold based off a ''different'' Talent and generally only for actions that must depend on the player's inherent qualities because very few in-game traits or skills could possibly apply. Each dot you have in a Talent ''reduces'' your difficulty threshold by 1 from 10. This threshold of (10 – talent) is what you're actually using when rolling dice. Additionally, having high levels of any Talent provides quite significant bonuses to the character, the intent being to make people with different main stats be very different people.<br />
<br />
You start with one dot in everything and 18 dots to further distribute. The maximum number of dots you can have in one field is seven. Talents may drop temporarily due to damage but unlike White Wolf attributes raisable by exp, you should not expect permanent gains to be made very often.<br />
<br />
Regardless, rolling a 1 is always a failure and a 10 is always a success.<br />
<br />
===Focus (Active Skills)===<br />
Focus is a matter of execution – it allows you to put a game plan into action with precision and timing even if you aren't a particularly precise or timely person normally - at least not without practice. When necessary, tasks requiring sheer patience and dedication also fall under Focus. One way of looking at it is as a measure of how hardcore a gamer you are. Characters approaching from the perspective of a genre veteran may well have high Focus as a result. Those with high levels of this Talent almost always log more hours than their peers.<br />
<br />
'''Focused Effect'''<br><br />
Focus actions tend to be more (sometimes much more) effective but slower than Reflexive ones.<br />
<br />
'''Liminal Race Unlock'''<br><br />
Minimum Focus 4.<br />
<br />
'''Starting Levels'''<br><br />
Having high Focus starts you off at a higher level. That said, everyone will gain levels and those lower down gain them faster so everyone will inevitably draw more or less even at some point.<br><br />
●: 25+<br><br />
●●: 35+<br><br />

●●●●: 45+<br><br />
●●●●●: 50+<br><br />
●●●●●●: 55+<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 60+ <br><br />
<br />
===Reflexes (Reactive Skills)===<br />
Reflexes are your ability to act and react quickly and effectively to enemy movements and sudden danger (if you see them coming). This correlates well with skill in fast-paced traditional video games, or real life athletics or martial arts. Nevertheless, FullDive ultimately transcends the limitations imposed by the human body and some otherwise unassuming people happen to have incredibly well wired brains for this interaction. Reflex based players are flexible and unparalleled in their ability to survive unexpected situations or blind encounters if they have a class that suits their particular aptitude.<br />
<br />
'''Extra Actions'''<br><br />
Higher levels of Reflexes grants extra actions usable for physical and defensive actions. <br><br />
●●●●: +1<br><br />
●●●●●: +2<br><br />
●●●●●●: +3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: +4<br><br />

'''Initiative'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine initiative when it is contested.<br />
<br />
'''Passive Defense'''<br><br />
Perception and Reflexes are used to determine passive defences.<br />
<br />
===Knowledge (Active Smarts)===<br />
Knowledge is the province of those who like to understand the game before playing it. Unsurprisingly, those with high levels of this Talent are often smarter (or more curious) than everyone else and usually spend a great deal of time doing research. While knowing is only half the battle and is sometimes found wanting for practical solutions, Knowledge covers a vast array of topics like encounter mechanics, build synergy, obscure locations, NPCs and items, or server politics and economics.<br />
<br />
'''Altima Lore'''<br><br />
Characters with higher levels of Knowledge don't need to roll for issues and questions pertaining to Altima as it was before the party became trapped.<br><br />
●●●●: 1<br><br />
●●●●●: 2<br><br />
●●●●●●: 3<br><br />
●●●●●●●: 4<br><br />
<br />
'''Build Synergy'''<br><br />
Those with high Knowledge are presumed to have better build synergy. Added dice when combining classes?<br />
<br />
===Perception (Reactive Smarts)===<br />
Perception is the ability to quickly and accurately perceive even amidst complex or distracting situations and is especially effective if the character also knows what they are looking for. This is of remarkable importance in combat since there's no defending against an attack that you do not see coming. While fairly passive in nature, a character with high situational awareness can mitigate damage or avoid dangerous situations entirely.<br />

===Charisma (Active Socials)===<br />
Charisma is your ability to make an impression, draw a reaction, to be popular and welcome or hated and reviled with particular animosity – your mileage may vary. You can use it to fit in ''or'' to stand out though more often than not it will only bring the tsun out of the tsundere at first. This is obviously a very important talent for those who want to be visible leaders in some capacity – perhaps even more important than the smarts to actually do things yourself, so long as you have clever allies. Finally, Charisma governs a person's deeper reserve of abstract will, which is part of what makes them compelling people.<br />

High Charisma gives you Fate.<br><br />
●●●●●: 1<br><br />

Manipulation is your ability to get what you want out of social interactions; where Charisma governs the amplitude of reaction, Manipulation allows you to sway opinion one way or another. You can find out the intentions of others while hiding your own, withhold information, deceive, and bring out either the tsun ''or'' the dere from a tsundere as you prefer.
