Born down here in muck among the poison and the choke Are those who can breith deeply, their lungs built for the smoke. Taken to the mountain top to smell its crystal night they sufficate in air without their native cancerous blight.

Narrative Function

Spawn exist to demonstrate what becomes of a character so deeply immersed in their aspect it warps the very shape of them; they start their story wholely immersed in their aspect, not drowning where others might by the joint virtue-vice of the metaphorical gills their character grew to thrive in that hyper-saturate environment.

There are two main arcs a Spawn's story typically takes: either, the story progresses through the same hyper-saturate environment the spawn grew up in and we see the consequences of an ever-increasing adaption to that space, or the story thrusts the Spawn into a less saturated space, and we see how the Spawn reacts to being a fish out of water (not all fish out of water are Spawn, but the Spawn class lend well to the trope). In the second version, we might see the Spawn later return to their origins, revocably changed by the experience.

Player Tendencies

Spawn players tend to start and regularly stubbornly remain deeply ignorant characters about the outsized influence their aspect has on them and the narrative around them. Borne of their aspect, shaped and molded by it, knowing nothing else besides it; they will mistake the saturation of their aspect around them as a normative level.

Godhood

The Spawn's Godhood is styled after final fantasy protagonists who have too many belts and a bondage fetish.

It is a hooded straight-jacket onesy tucked into a pair of tall lace-up boots. Layered over the jacket is a leather harness and a plethera of belts.

It further features a hannibal-style mouth-muzzle, the upper edge of which is decorated by jagged triangles evoking the idea of a jaw lined with sharp teeth.

Narrative Function

The Gaunt abandons through neglect. Their aspect withers in and around them, as either they, or the universe around them, fail to steward it. The space around the gaunt becomes devoid their aspect, and as nature adhors a vaccuum, other aspects will rush in to fill the space.

The two arcs most typical to the Gaunt are riches-to-rags and rags-to-rags; in either, the Gaunt struggle's with but never quite escapes aspect deficiency. Both can be contrasted against the Page as a class with high potential; where the first represents squandered resources the second represents scraping together every advantage for mere survival with no room for the consideration of future improvements.

Player Tendencies

Not all Gaunt players start out with a near reverant respect for their aspect, as the riches-to-rags gaunts are wont to wear aspect-rich privilege as blinders at their arc's beginning; but, most develop it overtime as struggling with not having much tends characters toward appreciating what little they have that much more. Those that don't develop an appreciation for their aspect are likely to develop a loathing for it instead.

Godhood

The Gaunt's godhood is styled after a 'wasteland wanderer.'

It consists of a ragged hooded-cap over equally ragged shirt and pants. Additionally, the arms and feet are wrapped in bandages.

A tree once fell in the forest Where there was no one around to hear And the forest heard the crash and wept For that part of itself now gone, once dear.

Narrative Function

The Copse permeates their aspect and narrative, diffusing themselves until they become indistinguishable from their aspect, an equal part of each discrete mote.

To stretch into the class's namesake metaphor; the Copse doesn't directly become the forest, but rather the trees, and through becoming the forest's every tree, the forest becomes indistinguishable from the Copse.

Player Tendencies

Copse players have a tendancy to stretch themselves too thin, over-exerting their split focus until it pulls them past the point of fragmentation. While most players are set back by the distribution of their narrative weight into multiple individual disperate parts, for the Copse player, this is an overall boon in their arc.

They may struggle with the initial fragmentation, but as they grow into it (fragmenting further and further) each of their individual contiutent parts gains more and more narrative weight.

Godhood

The Copse's godhood is styled after the garb of Celtic Druids.

It is a long tunic with a hooded shoulder-shaw.

It features a circlet necklace, a patterned belt, and a pair of sandles for shoes.

They're 15$ a pop and these four are still available ! (Ca$happ only at the moment, I plan to set up more payment methods for later batches sorry about that ^^;)

Also for 30$ I can do a quick lil off-base fullbody of the design demonstrated here by this design I liked too much to sell

History is written by the victors? History is written by who won? No, History is written by historians Who decided which story needed spun.

Narrative Function

Scribes record the events, either as they happen or after the fact; imposing their perspective onto the narative. Where all classes control their aspect in some sense, Scribes have a particular focus on controlling their aspect's narrative facets. Their strength comes from shaping events, and more importantly the perception of events, such that they derive a benefit.

Player Tendencies

Scribes tend to be an honest but shrewd lot; the preference tends toward gently massage the truth rather than breaking it with outright lies.

They tend toward minor egocentrism—main-character syndrome—as they consider themeselves not just the center of the story but its author as well. This is a notion that most narrative will likely be oh-so-joyous in disabusing fledging Scribes from over the course of their arc.

Godhood

The Scribe's godhood is styled after Gregorian monks of north-central Europe.

It is a long flowing robe with a hood and headband. The shoes are no-laces boots splite down the middle by a seamline.

Plot started in a way based on the original version of Pressure's endless mode that just dropped you in the loading docks like normal but with something a bit off about everything. I envisioned this as the Blacksite suddenly just Vanishing through unclear means and cause and all communications therefor being lost, riiiight as my poor roblox sona / player insert Roflcopter showed up again expecting a normal playthrough. Xey do notice a lot of weird things out of place but what really tips xem off is when 100 doors go by and just... keep going without ending up at The Ridge.

Eventually Roflcopter does find Seb and Painter and they end up pretty much just wandering aimlessly until they find a really out of place door in a heavy containment section that ends up leading to the Regretevator lobby.

A lot of what happens after that is a lot looser lorewise and just kinda little odds and ends in my head but the next concrete thing is after a long while Split ends up dying of, pretty much the fruit-taur equivalent of cancer, and unlike a normal death in the infinity she seems to be actually gone for good. Everyone is pretty shaken by this since there wasn't really any elevator regulars who didnt like her (barring stat of course but like, stat doesnt like anybody thats no shock), but unsuprisingly Bive was by far left the most in shambles by it, never being seen for weeks afterward and coping by getting holed up in the back of the Floppy Shoppy for hours after closing watching old recordings of her and Split together on Scag- who understandably after a while got to a point where she was like "girl this is not goodful for you we need to take you somewhere else or something."

But lucky(?) for them both after being forced out of hibernation Bive finally was informed that Split had left Splitsville to her before she died, leaving her as the new host of the show of all people- she was... definitely an interesting fit for the role! But with Scag's help (and of course favorite guest star Roflcopter comically eating shit at the obstacle courses) the show was able to continue on.

Other concrete info about the au was also shipping related of course because im diseased, Bive and Scag and Roflcopter and Sebastian and Pest were in worlds lamest polycule the world has ever seen, Poob and Lampert were in a weirdly complicated and frankly kind of abusive relationship, and DR Retro and Wallter were in a sort of tense "will they wont they" thing. I know I had some other weird dynamics going on but I canttttt remember rn

The gift horse's mouth holds a secret which the horse can only guess. Look closely at its teeth to compare what you're owed to what you get.

Narrative Function

To dual-speakers of English and German, the word "gift" provides a wonderful opportunity for a translingual pun: In English it's a present, offering, or kindness; but in German it simply means poison. This pair of false friends present the best framework for understanding the Colt.

The Colt's primary narative function is to be sacrificed. The Colt gives themselves, or a part of themselves away, for the benefit of others, at great harm to themselves. They might offer their self up on an aspect's alter to settle some debt or dispute, or they might lose a part of their self in the name of a greater cause. But, even as the Colt is bleeding out, turned from horse to gift-horse, they can still bite the hand that slaughters 'em, turning from boon to bane in a final moment of defiance.

There's a lot of flexibility in the Colt's narrative. A Colt might 'change hands' muliple times, flitting around shifting their allegiance mulitiple times, like the toaster-oven that keeps getting regifted (with each movement of the Colt constituting a sacrifice of the narrative potential of their old connections), before they reach the culmination of their arc.

Player Tendencies

The Colt is one of the most passive classes, as its basic beat is a moment of altru sacrifice, but this doesn't actually tend to reflect in the class's Players. The opposite enfact, Colt players' tendancy is anathema to their class, as Colts are likely to be selfish and egotistical. Their sacrifices aren't sought out as first solutions, but resorted to under the duress of dramatic or ironic circumstances.

Godhood

The Colt's godhood is styled after the typical dress of the roving warrior class of Yankelan, which were fostered as a cultural part to Meiji era Yankeland's third imperial expansion project, commonly referred to in the local cultures as "Cowboys."

It is a hooded pancho over a button-cuffed shirt and pants, a belt with a buckle you can park a 2026 Ford under, and a pair of trusty dusty leather boots.

RISE! Where is you anger? RISE! Where is your fury? RISE! Where is your fire? RISE! RISE! RISE! Where is you Wrath?

Narrative Function

The Raffe [răth]¹ are the instigator, leader, lynchpin, and success of revolutions: Through their aspect, they seek the liberation of both themselves and other characters. Sometimes they go beyond that and seek to free the entire narrative from the subjugative clutches of another aspect (or in especially rare cases, their own.)

Not all rebellions stories feature a Raffe, but those that do tend to find better success and greater successes, as the Raffe breathes strength into the movement, their presense a banner on the battlefield and a rallying cry in the wind, creating a movement-wide morale boost.

Player Tendencies

Raffes tend toward being a righteous and altruistic lot: they're deeply entuned to the suffering caused by unjust systems and actively seek to liberate those who suffer from the systems which harm them.

Godhood

The Raffe's Godhood is styled after fashion from the various punk scenes of late 20th and early 21st century Yankeelan and Britain.

It is a hooded, sleeveless battle jacket, worn over a sleeveless undershirt and ripped pants. The battle jacket is covered in patches and its hood is covered in a mohawk of spikes.

The pants are held up by a simple knot belt that flows into a 'waist-cape.'

Spiked bracelets act as arm accessories.

The shoes are big-stompy lace-up boots, which I like to imagine double as heelies.
