All time players’ planets are home to the Scratch Construct. Without them, a Scratch is impossible to perform.
Doomed timelines are always a risk for time players, and it’s not uncommon for a time player to doom themselves and/or others (intentionally or not). Time players simply see doomed selves as a fact of life and as nothing to worry about too much though.
Time players often have ties to music in some way, or rather, the instruments themselves.
Time players have a connection to technology in some capacity
Time players are already awoken on their moons before the game session starts.
Personality:
Time players are inherently prepared for the worst possible outcome. They will spend their whole lives preparing for the worst thing to come, and oftentimes, their preparations were not for nothing. The preparations that time players make are almost always done because of the plausibility of a terrible outcome. They don’t tend to take chances and would rather prepare for the worst than do nothing at all.
They are calculated with all of their actions because they are constantly thinking of the outcome of the situation. Everything they do has a purpose behind it that a time player sees as something important. Sometimes, these actions may seem silly to onlookers, but the time player knows that they have a reason for doing the things that they do.
Time players are not those who simply accept things as they are and they are at constant odds with what fate has in store for them. They seek to change outcomes that they dislike at any cost.
Any player of time is going to be someone who values action over anything else. They are constantly on the move, never sitting still metaphorically. They are players who are always making some sort of progress in order to reach an end goal. They don’t sit back and watch things play out because they would rather be the ones causing influence to get to their goal more efficiently. It comes as no surprise that time players are very goal oriented.
Time players can be defensive of themselves and don’t take criticism lightly. Any critique of them will often lead a time player to take it as a personal attack. Not all-time players will be as aggressive about defending themselves as others, however, don’t expect a time player to take an insult like it’s nothing. Time players always will come back at someone with a snarky response when they take something as an insult. To make things more interesting, they never forget when someone has said something they perceive as a personal attack against themselves. Time players can seem petty for this very reason. A good way of throwing any time player off is to hit them where it hurts most, by attacking their ego.
Time players have a hard time acting in the moment. If something doesn’t go as they planned it to, they often can be left dumbfounded and they have a harder time reacting in the calculated way they usually do. Plans are everything to a time player and time-bound players don’t much appreciate it when they don’t go as they had anticipated. Because of this, time players can make stupid decisions if a situation they haven’t planned for arises.
Time players can be ruthless if given the chance to. This ties into their pettiness and time players can become bloodthirsty at their very worst. They often do so in order to seek revenge of some kind. No matter how dumb the reason for this revenge may seem to those with an outside perspective, it is always justified by the time player.
It is not uncommon for time players to experience abuse at the hands of others. Their upbringing often leaves them with additional strength to overcome their obstacles and hardships. However, this abuse can also cause a future thirst for blood. They often grow fed up with the abuse that they face and they learn to attack others as a form of defense, in their minds at least. They also use their anger towards their abuse to drive them further toward success. However, not all time players are those who use their abuse to justify abusing others. Many times players will use their experience with abuse as a way to empathize and sympathize with others around them. They often seek to protect others from danger because they didn’t have anyone to protect them. Either way, they hold a series of negative emotions towards their abuse, and time players never forget what was done to them. Time players take a lot of effort and patience in order to learn to forgive others for their crimes, if they even learn to forgive at all.
Time players have a tendency to repeat things over and over again, both literally and metaphorically. This can leave them feeling as though they are “stuck in a loop”, one may say. Time players will repeat their mistakes countless times, struggling to learn how to overcome their personal endeavors. Their headstrong nature causes them to muscle their way through situations instead of taking a step back and looking at the big picture. They typically force their way through situations rather than take their time to think about doing things differently.
Time players love to talk. They can be overwhelming to some and annoying to others. However, time players simply have a lot of things to say and so little time to say them. They would rather vomit at the mouth and explain everything to someone rather than keep their thoughts to themselves.
Time players have an intense personality hidden within them. Some will embrace their intensity while others will hide it away and only show small glimpses into their psyche. The intensity can come in any form, such as intensely angry, intensely happy, intensely bitchy, or intensely cool, but all time players express their intense personalities in some way.
