Sinner's Mind Game **NEW CHARACTER!**

a fun, exciting, mysterious way to rack your brains.

from Stardock Forums

So I just had this idea and I want to share it with all of you, and invite you all to be a part of my little game I'm starting. I am someone in the Sins universe, either TEC, Advent, or Vasari, and you ask me any questions whatsoever to find out who I am, when I am, and where I am. Let me explain more.

By who I am I mean you have to be able to tell me what race I am, what age I am (30-40 year old male would be a perfectly acceptable answer if it was the right answer, which it isnt. the point is it doesnt have to be that specific.), and, as I just mentioned, my sex.

By when I am I mean you have to be able to tell me the general status of the war during my time. Before the war, before entrenchment, after the war, when the Advent arrive, all these are as specific as you have to be. I wouldn't get more detailed because I probably wouldn't be able to answer you.

By where I am, I mean something a little more tricky than the first two. You'll have to tell me if I'm on a planet belonging to my own race, if that planet is being sieged, whether I'm being held hostage on an enemy planet, whether I'm on an enemy planet because I betrayed my own side, etc etc etc. Where I am pretty much means my whole background.

For example (and this is NOT the answer): You;d have to tell me that I am Harris Markson, middle-aged, TEC male, who was captured by the Vasari and is being held on one of their great starbases. I am put through daily painful interrogation techniques, and am on the verge of telling the Vasari all of the intricate details of the TEC's new superweapon, which will be able to blow up a planet. (something along the lines of that)

Now, how to figure me out:

You can ask me any kind of question at all. You could even ask me what my name is and my age, although I would not answer you with what you're looking for. I will provide an answer for any question no matter how dumb or irrevelant it is. I could even have a guy who thinks he's being funny ask me how I jack off, and I'll try to provide a clue to my identity in it. But I'll still answer it. It is up to all of you together, the Sins community, to try and reveal my identity. This is not supposed to be easy. My advice, start off asking general questions and make your way deeper as my answers provide insight into my life.

Another disclaimer: I am not really talking about myself. None of this is true. I am not actually living in the Sins universe. I wanted to make that perfectly clear.

Now, ask your questions!

ALSO: all characters that are created in this Mind Game will be used in Sinners (if you haven't seen it, you should check it out on the SOASE forums), and all "mini-stories" (i.e. Judgement and the History of the Spirits so far) will be incorporated into the story as well. So ask a lot of questions!

[i was just curious if the advent knew how to do simple math, since the TEC seemingly does not. also, i can't think of anything else to ask]

Very Well, I shall not... remove him.  For the moment.  But know, an his leadership become detrimental to the well-being of the Unity, thou needst only speak, and we shalt be thine instrument.   But I must thank thee, for an not for thy intervention... I am unsure what would have become of Heveta Linphion, aboard a seeker vessel en route to the heathen worlds, less than ten years into the Trader-Vasari war

Is there a question to this? Or are you just spouting off all you know of the temporary Host? Yes, as soon as Heveta dumps her passenger off on a Trader world we will reconnect with Haiti's vessel. At least, Heveta and her crew will need to. Spacetime is no bar to me.

You ask the High One simple calculation? 4.

Time for some education. On Earth, before the fledgling years of the Advent, the inhabitants of that planet had a calculation system they called mathematics. That symbol is what they called a plus sign, and it being in the spot it is in tells us to add the numbers to the right and left of it together. You are Advent, are you not? You should know this. Or are you the first Advent to disbelieve that Earth exists?

'twas but a jest, Exalted.  For any of the Advent, even the newly born, could make such a calculation by simply looking into the mind of another.  And the Answer is ten.  In base four.

I will not comment on this. How you achieve ten....we are talking Earth math, not Advent calculations.

[i am flat out of questions]

in base 4, you are completely correct. base 4 was extremely rare though, base 2 was much mroe common. thus, 011

[not even for the High One? You've already pretty much figured Heveta out. Technically, we could start a new character. But I want to develop the High One a little more, try and work a few kinks out. Just ask anything that you'd like to know about the Advent and the High One will answer it. So I can figure out how the High One did what he did with the Advent, and why. I'm still working on that.}

[we can go into the High One's background. this is a free-for-all kinda thread, ha. pretty much anything related to sinners and the characters go. and the High One is definitely a character.]

Certainly. Now, as you know, a Trader by the name of Harrison Longsford arrived at our home world nearly a thousand years ago. There, he encountered us and fled on his ship back to the Trader worlds. I followed him. At the Trader tribunal I appeared again inside Harrison, throttling him with the power called Spirituality, the force behind the creation of the universe, and the base from which I created PsiTech. Now Spirituality has developed a religious significance, but it is a power of nature, infused within the Spirits that govern the universe, and it is with this that I strangled Harrison. Then I emerged from his body in a great black cloud, to disguise myself from the Traders that had no business seeing my true form, and placed upon each one a sort of marker. Now all of their descendents are marked by me, and every Advent can feel them like little points of light in darkness, and the Reemergence will not end until all of those lights are distinguished. As the Advent were banished from their home world I withdrew from the Universe for a time, to study and reflect upon my and the Advent's choices. I am not hasty. Hastiness only brings mistakes, and then I could afford none.

[i thought you wanted to the the High One's background in the actual story]

how did you follow him? how did you move through the galaxy. surely you don't need a ship to take you across the universe?

[well i want to flesh out the High One's background. i don't want to just belch it out in another mini-story. And when I said the High One's background, what I was really meaning was the connection between the High One and the Spirits. Which i hope you saw by now. Through these questions you should get to know who and what the High One is and how he came to be here, but you won't ever have it explained, until far later in Sinners. I'm not going to just say what it is, but I want to develop it a little more. That's what i'm trying to say.]

I told you, spacetime is no bar to me. I wanted to follow him, so I followed him.

Where are you from?  It was a curiously avoided topic within my teachings.  And is your power only that of creation, influence, destruction, or a combination thereof?

Where I come from you can not know of, for you can never go there. Your mind could not comprehend it, and your body would disintegrate. Know only that it is called Outside. My power is of creation, and part of the process of creation is the removal of what is old in replacement for what is new. That is not destruction, it is creation. A fine line, yet a line there is.

TEC? I assume from one branch of the inhabitants of Earth. The space-faring folk, they were called the Traders. Perhaps that is their background, although they must have forgotten their roots if they still go by that name. By aliens, you mean Vasari?

Also from Earth. This I know for certain. They were a separate group of Traders, then not meaning anything close to what it does now, and after the great wars between the people of Earth and the Traders, the Advent sect of Traders (called the Illumis) fled the solar system and established their new home world. They were not yet Advent, however, just normal human settlers. Then I came to them, and I experimented on them. I tried to mix Spirituality into them, but their bodies could not take it and melted. I created the Pit of Everlasting Fire to do away with my failed creations. The Advent were not my first, second, or even third attempt at this. The word "Advent" means "thirteenth" in the old tongue. After twelve failed attempts at creating life, I successfully implanted a distorted version of Spirituality into the humans, naming them Advent, as that they were. That is where the Advent come from, and that is how they were made.
