survivor verse / identity v.
⋆ ⌜ the cost of your memories may be too great ⌟
for three years sigma’s lived without any knowledge of who they truly are or what their life initially was — or if they ever even had another life to begin with. their job as a reputable dealer at a famous casino is something they fall easily into, but they can’t shake their unease and desire to know the truth about who they are.
one day they get a letter from an unknown sender with a mysterious offer: go to a strange manor, and perhaps they can recover their lost memories...
a quiet, composed figure with a determined gaze and a past they can’t remember. maybe winning this game will give them some answers...
i. second beginning: eyes open with no memories.
you have less time than everyone else to work out who you really are.
ii. unknown: there are no records.
a picture: a snapshot of their face taken by the precinct they were found by. they look lost.
iii. locked doors: no one’s any help.
pull yourself up onto your feet yourself; you’re the only person you have.
iv. a name: you think of the stars.
diary 1: i’ve taken a name for myself: sigma. and soon i’ll make a name for myself in this cruel world.
v. deft hands: secret skills secure a job easy enough.
a document: a formal job offer as the dealer of a casino.
vi. broken windows: you hate being pitied.
diary 2: i’m not treated like a normal person, no matter how hard i work. i’m treated like a charity case.
vii. nightmares: things not remembered don’t care that they’re forgotten.
therapy helps, but it doesn’t bring the memories back.
viii. an offer: what if someone had the answers...?
a letter: it sits neatly atop its envelope on their nightstand. the address is hand-written on a scrap of paper beside it.
ix. vague memory: something nags at their mind.
diary 3: the handwriting on that letter looks so familiar. if only i could remember why...
sleight of hand: deft hands used to dealing cards are not prone to mistakes. when decoding ciphers, the perfect calibration window is the full size of the completed calibration window.
calm presence: they’re used to talking down tense situations at tables. when decoding together, other survivors gain a 15% decoding boost.
unease: when a teammate has been injured for the first time, sigma can see the location of the other survivors for 10 seconds. their decoding speed is also decreased by 20% whenever a teammate is injured.
luck of the draw: they can share three cards with fellow survivors, with a randomized effect out of six: 18% decoding boost for two minutes, 8% movement speed increase for three minutes, displays survivor location to the hunter for ten seconds, 50% calibration window decrease for two minutes, vaulting speed 10% increase for two minutes, or nothing happens.
