❂ This game will not be allowing write-ins or custom responses unless noted on the prompt.
❂ Votes need to be done in the format of '[x] (enter option here)' and posted as a comment on the thread for the game you are voting for. Please copy + paste your response directly from the option list to avoid typos, and only vote once if possible.
❂ Votes will close on the deadline specified on the prompt, at exactly 12 P.M. EST. Votes posted after the cut-off point will not be counted.
❂ Players will be allowed to vote on both games. You are encouraged to vote for what you earnestly believe to be the best option. Active vote-sabotaging is unsportsmanlike.
❂ Should you choose to 'pick a side' and stick with it, that's great! But, please, please be aware that this is still a game where the other side isn't your actual enemy. They're there to give you a challenge and a good time.
❂ Conference Tokens can be cashed for a vote multiplier of 5x. Specify this on your post by posting a '❖' icon, and each option you vote for will have an additional four votes added on to it. Your token will be removed following the processing of your vote.

ModMystery: I can't believe I'm stuck in a Hub with you.
ModHeat: The feeling's mutual, bud.
ModHeat: This is ridiculous.
ModMystery: Well, if we're going to work together, we might as well organize this the best we can.
ModMystery: We split processing power equally, agreed?
ModHeat: Fine, whatever.
ModHeat: What about service cores and candidates?

Naxia, Aluwin, eToveluck, sWhite, s201, hWirseh

ModMystery: Six people. You get half, I get half.
ModHeat: What are their details?
ModMystery: Hard to explain. I have some files on them, but they're vague.
ModHeat: Typical.
ModHeat: At least it's more than just translation files.
ModHeat: What are they like?
ModMystery: Two from the same world.
ModMystery: It's interesting.
ModHeat: It's dangerous.
ModHeat: I'm not giving you the advantage over a world like that.
ModMystery: I wouldn't expect you too.
ModHeat: You know this means war.
ModMystery: I'm very aware.
ModMystery: May the best Node win, I suppose.
ModHeat: Oh, it certainly will.

Current Roster:


Naxia
Hailing from a land with a thousand flying islands, Naxia is a capable mage. Ambitious and sarcastic she values control over her life over all else. The demonic pact she has entered has slowly take control of her life, and she wants to wrestle control back. Recently, an oversight in the depths of the underworld has given her a chance to slip out from under the thumb of her dark master, and she's taking her inch to run a mile.

Because of her demonic pact, Naxia can control the rock and soil around her and summon the material spirits associated with it.

Aluwin
Hailing from a land with a thousand flying islands, Aluwin is a young dryad. She loves the natural world, and opposes the advancement of human kingdoms that threaten it. She works hard to maintain her loyalty to this cause, as she holds a secret that would make her fellow dryads turn against her — in another life, Aluwin was human.

The powers of her birth allow her to commune with nature, growing plants and taking on the form of a great tree to expand her magical potential.

Elizabeth "Beth" Toveluck
As a pro-gamer in the international TesliJOLT League, Beth hopes to move beyond her current rookie ranking. TesliJOLT is a competitive VR e-sport where players compete with each other and an ever advancing hoard of mechanical foes. But behind the scenes, TesliJOLT is shrouded in a deep conspiracy: The gameworld is real, and the League is just a recruitment drive to bring forth the most skilled warriors to protect humanity from the digital threat.

Beth mains the versatile Architect class, focusing on deploying specialized machines to defend and support her team mid-combat.

Simon White
Simon is a fledgling vampire, made cynical towards society by his brutal treatment while he was a thrall. Unlike most of his ilk, Simon was never groomed for his position, only being transformed by accident. Newly freed from his life as blood-cattle and thrust into a world of vampiric politics, Simon has discovered he only now has a chance to save humanity from their vampiric overlords by controlling the power of the very creatures that controlled him.

Simon is incredibly strong and fast, but only has the fraction of the power that more ancient vampires have. He may get stronger through dark rituals and imbibing in blood, but doubts that it would be worth doing.

Subject 2-01
Many were created before him, but 2-01 was the first unit designed as a showpiece. He was designed with the intention of impressing private investors and weapons dealers interested in the engineering of psychic powers into humans. Unfortunately for his creators, this particular subject harbors a deep capacity for empathy and rebellion that he has kept well-hidden. And he intends to escape with a small group of others.

Subject 2-01 was designed as a nonlethal unit, with the ability to produce simple kinetic barriers to block small-arms fire and project audio-visual illusions into the minds of his targets.

Hiher Wer-Sih
As the recently crowned fifteen-year-old chief of the Lake Tribe, Hiher struggles daily to support his tribe and prevent it from being invaded by the Garden Tribe. And as more of Atlantis is swallowed by the Abyss of Stars, Hiher is facing a possible loss of all he knows and loves.

By right of birth, Hiher alone commands the great seal between his tribe and the outside world. He has also been chosen to be administered with the Tears of the Precursors, with all the abilities that entails. He doesn't believe himself up to the task of managing that sort of power.


End report.
