Syntax: 911 <message>

The 911 command sends an emergency message to the police band channel, which
is visible to characters with at least 1 level in hacking and a police scanner
and members of any of the factions.

Requirements: You must have a working cell phone with a signal. You cannot
use this command while helpless, mute, gagged, dead, or as a ghost. The
command won’t work during city blackouts

Syntax: Abduct (target)
Syntax: Tuckin (target)
Syntax: lookfor (target)

This command can be used in a room where a player has logged off and, if
successful, will bring the unconscious body back into the game where it
can be interacted with. No one will be able to wake the character until the
player logs back on. Abduct can only be used within a few hours of the
target logging off.

To determine whether or not the attempt is successful, a number of factors
are taken into consideration based on the abductor’s stats, the abductee’s
stats, and the location the abduction is taking place in. Some degree of
luck is accounted for as well.

The abductor will get bonuses based on his stealth skill and whether or not
he has legitimate access to the property.

The abductee will get bonuses based on his acute senses, fast reflexes,
perception, and, should he be abducted from a house, the household security
and household guards of that location. If a warding ritual is in place, the
abductee will also be significantly harder to abduct. An abduction will
always succeed if the abductee is tied up. Abductions cost money and require
cash on hand to cover the costs of the drugs used. The cost will vary
depending
on how difficult the person is to abduct, with higher tiers costing more.

Unsuccessful attempts may result in the victim fleeing to another property or
the forest.

The tuckin command can be used to place the character back into a regular
logged off state.

The lookfor command can be used to see if a logged off person is currently in
the room
with you.

Syntax: Ability (abilityname) (target or arguments)
Syntax: showability (abilityname)

Abilities are special types of stats. They can be used in combat with ability
(abilityname) (target or argument) or in most cases just (abilityname)
(target or argument)

When used in combat abilities are stronger the longer it has been
since you used them. Magic abilities usually reduces the effectiveness
of your attacks.

Abilities can also be used in RP, in general each discreet ability
power can be used once per RP scene, unless otherwise indicated by
the SR.

Showstat can be used to show the room that you have a certain
ability.

Acedia, also known as hollow, is a kind of malaise that affects more
powerful individuals,
specifically those who are at least tier three.
Acedia is generally defined as a state of listlessness or torpor, of not
caring even about the fact that one does not care.

In game higher tier characters will gain Acedia as they engage in most forms
or roleplay or productive activities, the higher the tier of the character
the faster they will gain Acedia.

Acedia does not go up during activities like being on plots or being in a
fight.

Acedia goes down when a character inflicts invitation on others, or engages in
other more hostile or predatory actions.

As Acedia builds up it will increase the minimum amount of time between a
character being able to move rooms, and eventually the minimum amount of time
between emotes and other RP actions as they become more and more overcome with
lethargy and listlessness.

This represents the fact that as individuals become more powerful they become
more jaded and bored with the world, and it requires more extreme, taboo and immoral
things to interest them.

Also Read: Help Angelborn Mechanics

A long time ago, the Gods created the ultimate servants for
themselves. They designed them to be beautiful, to have wings and the power
of flight for speedy transportation, and most importantly to be incredibly,
supernaturally empathic. These beings would feel the wants, needs, pains and
dislikes of those around them even more keenly than their own. If you wanted a
message delivered, they wanted to deliver it; if you wanted your feet rubbed
they wanted to rub your feet. They were the perfect servants, however
the secret to creating them was eventually lost, and over time they have all
but died out.
Their descendants however, remain. It’s unclear if they were named Angels
because of their similarity to the biblical beings, or if indeed the
biblical beings were named Angels because of their similarity to them.

Their descendants today are referred to as angelborn, exceedingly few today
still have
wings or any remnants of them, but many have an innate appreciation for
heights and dream of flying.
They are also more attractive than most people and tend to live a little
longer. Most importantly, they still have some degree of the original Angelic
empathy. While not nearly as strong, they still naturally want the same
things as those around them. It works like a sort of unspoken peer
pressure, and draws them naturally to jobs and lifestyles that are more
selfless or service oriented. It’s common to find them working in charities
or as aid workers, or even as masseuses or prostitutes.

The tears of the Angelborn can be used to make a sort of love potion. If
someone swallows a shot glass or so worth of Angelborn tears they will be
infected by a powerful version of angelic empathy, focused on the first
person they become aware of. For the next 5-6 days that person’s wants and
desires will become their wants and desires and they’d do whatever they can
to fulfill them.

Today angelborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being active angelborn is astronomically small, but
it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, either fraternal or identical, will share the trait
if one has it.

Angelborn much like faeborn and demonborn can be either latent, passive or
active.

Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive.

Passive angelborns are mostly human, but they have the appearance of
angelborn and their supernatural empathy.

Active angelborns are passives until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near New Haven.
As well as the effects of passive angelborns, actives may also gain other
amazing supernatural powers.

Note: Angelborns are physically entirely human in appearance.

When they were first created angels were given a vulnerability to obsidian
in case their empathy ever failed at keeping them in line. While this has
never truly been needed, the vulnerability is still present to this day.
Angels and their angelborn descendants become weakened whenever struck by
obsidian weapons and cannot break out of obsidian bonds or cages no matter
their preternatural strength.

Angelborn pick up on the desires of those around them and feel an urge to
fulfill them. See Help Desire.

Angelborn are more susceptible to supernatural influence.

Angelborn receive additional stagger when struck with weapons augmented with
obsidian.

Angelborn may select from the following modifiers:

(T2) Angelborn:
Negative Modifiers: Addicted, Injured, Ill, Mentally Ill
Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Fleshformed, Demonic Pact Holder

(T3) Angelborn Veteran:
Negative Modifiers: Crippled, Cursed
Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Fleshformed, Demonic Pact Holder

(T4) Ageless Angelborn:
Negative Modifiers: Crippled
Positive Modifiers: Fleshformed, Demonic Pact Holder

Requirements: Non-Supernatural

This stat makes your character considered an angelborn, even if they do not
have an angelborn archetype; it represents latent or passive blood. Your
character will become desire sensitive.

Anupharis unfolds under a relentless sun, a vast tapestry of ochre and gold
woven from endless dunes and shimmering heat haze. This southern jewel of the
Godrealm is a testament to both divine might and mortal tenacity. Ages ago,
drawn by the earth’s hidden wealth, gods shaped the very sands, raising
cyclopean monuments and cities whose geometries defy mortal understanding. The
grandest, Aethelgard, the City of Brass and Sunstone, stands not upon the
sands but seems to grow from their depths.

The city is constructed around a colossal sundial that serves not only to mark
the passage of time but also as an intricate calendar predicting celestial
events. The High Priests of the Sun Temple control access to the city’s
central oasis, the largest in all Anupharis, using this power to maintain
their authority.

Scattered throughout the dunes are the Life Wells, oases that serve as vital
waypoints for desert caravans. Each is jealously guarded by nomadic clans who
have developed intricate water-sharing rituals and laws older than many
kingdoms. The most sacred of these, the Oasis of First Dawn, is said to have
waters that grant visions of the future.

Beneath the sands slither the Dunebreakers, colossal sand serpents whose
passage creates temporary valleys and whose shed scales are prized for armor
that turns aside both blade and spell. The desert also harbors the dreaded
Grit Storms, localized tempests of sand that can strip flesh from bone in
moments. Some claim these storms are sentient, hunting those who disturb
ancient burial sites.

To the west, the Godspine Mountains rise like the vertebrae of some primordial
titan. Their caves and deep valleys serve as sanctuaries for the undergods,
lesser divinities who find the politics of the greater houses too treacherous.
Deep in the mountains is the Sunken Quarter, a region where ancient cataclysm
caused miles of desert to collapse, revealing a lost city of black glass and
tarnished silver.

In the deep desert, where even the nomads fear to tread, stand the Titan
Bones, massive skeletal remains of beings that predate even the gods. Some
ribs arch hundreds of feet into the air, creating natural shelters where
strange cults perform rituals to entities best left unnamed. The marrow within
these ancient bones is known to be a valuable ingedient for many arcanists.

There are three main focus paths: the arcane tree (minions, rituals, mancing);
the combat tree (melee and ranged combat); and the professional tree (wealth,
contacts, and social/job skills). Each focus tree has its own set of foci
within it. Every point spent in one of these trees, regardless of whether or

While practitioners of magic are a very varied group, when they come
together there are some customs they all tend to follow.

Due to the greater ease of stealing youth while somewhat physically old,
most arcanists tend to appear to be in their forties or fifties.

Arcanist or Practitioner are the most accepted terms for anybody who uses
magic, with Practitioner being preferred in non-supernaturally aware
society.

Those who can use battle magic but not yet throw around pure force are
usually called Mancers, and battle magic of this type is generally referred
to as Mancing.

Those who can throw around pure bolts of fire or lightning or similar forces
are called Sorcerers, and that type of magic sorcery.

Most arcanists first spend time as an apprentice, working for their master
in exchange for tutelage. In some organizations apprentices might be
apprenticed to a group instead of an individual. In formal introductions
it’s customary to give the name of your master, and often even their master
even if the arcanist is no longer an apprentice. Such as: “I am Jane Smith,
student of John Smith, student of John Doe.” , While an apprentice would
introduce themselves as “I am Jane Smith, apprentice of John Smith, student
of John Doe.”

Apprenticeships vary significantly in length, few are shorter than one year
or longer than ten. Abuse of apprentices if a very common practice in many
magical circles, but rarely discussed. It is not uncommon for them to be
taken advantage of sexually by their masters, to be beaten physically for
poor performance, to be sacrificed in rituals if they do not perform, to
have their life force fed upon, or their possessions and finances claimed by
their master.

A rogue is someone who belongs to no arcane group.

A hedge mage/witch is someone who has been self taught and are generally
looked down upon.

A magical duel is a fight in which neither participant may assault the other
except through magical means, and continues until either the participant is
no longer able to stand, or no longer able to keep fighting such as if they
have no sorcery and their minion has been dispelled. Among mancers this
becomes in essence a test of minion against minion, with their mancing being
used to try and effect the outcome, among sorcerers however it usually
becomes much more a battle of energy vs energy. It is almost impossible
under the rules of a standard magical duel for a mancer to defeat a
sorcerer.

Archetype represents the basic concept of your character and is the most
important factor in determining who they are and what sorts of powers and
abilities they have. It also determines if your character is considered
human, or supernatural. When combined with your modifier it determines your
overall power tier, higher tier characters cost more karma to create and are
also more monstrous. The possible archetypes are:

Tier One: Local, Visitor, Fantasy

Tier Two: Soldier, Timeswept, Wildling, Important Local,
Vampire, Werewolf, Faeborn, Angelborn, Demonborn, Demigod,
Gifted, Dreamchild, Elseborn

Tier Three: Special Forces, Local Celebrity, Pillar of the Community,
Veteran Vampire, Veteran Werewolf, Faeborn Veteran, Angelborn Veteran,
Demonborn Veteran, Demigod Veteran

Tier Four: Aged Vampire, Ageless Werewolf, Ageless Faeborn, Ageless
Angelborn, Ageless Demonborn, Ageless Demigod

Tier Five: Ancient Vampire, Ancient Werewolf, DemiDemon, Freed Angel, God
Child, Fae Child

You can type help (modifier name) for more information on any of the
archetypes.

Tier Two costs 25, 000 Karma.
Tier Three costs 50, 000 Karma.
Tier Four costs 100, 000 Karma.
Tier Five costs 150, 000 Karma.

Syntax: assist [character] [assistance description]

The assist command allows you to help another character with a try roll
When used, it announces your assistance to the room and describes how you’re
helping.

The command requires both a target character (who must be in the same room)
and a description of how you’re assisting them. Your assistance description
is limited to 120 characters.

Syntax: at <location> <command>

At executes the given command (which may have arguments) at the given
location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of
a mobile, or as the name of an object.

At works by temporarily moving you to that location, executing the
command, and then moving you back (if the command didn’t change your
location).

Syntax: Atemote (person) (emote)

Used by SRs on people who have trusted them to at least moderate levels,
this command delivers a remote echo to the room at the target’s location.

At the foundation of New Haven’s layered history rests Atlantis, the first and
greatest of the between cities, partially submerged in black water that defies
analysis. This liquid, neither fully water nor entirely something else,
maintains a constant level throughout the ruins regardless of displacement or
evaporation attempts. Objects submerged in it emerge dry but permanently
altered. Many parts of the city are entirely inaccessible except by going
underwater, and navigating in the depths is notoriously difficult, leading
many divers to be unable to find a way back up once they have gone under.

The architecture of Atlantis bears no resemblance to any known human
civilization, constructed around geometric principles that induce cognitive
dissonance in observers. Corridors twist in directions that conventional
geometry insists are impossible, creating paths that return travelers to their
starting point despite continuous forward movement. Rooms expand and contract
subtly as though breathing, their dimensions shifting by fractions of an inch
in patterns that match no known mathematical sequence. The most intact
structures feature walls of a metal-ceramic composite with properties similar
to both superconductors and biological membranes, suggesting a civilization
that saw no distinction between technology and living tissue.

Throughout Atlantis, doorways present puzzle-like challenges to those seeking
passage. These are not simple mechanical locks but integrated systems that
respond to combinations of light, sound, and electromagnetic stimulation. The
most complex require coordinated actions from multiple individuals positioned
at specific points throughout the ruins, suggesting the Atlanteans valued
collective effort over individual achievement. Several expedition teams have
dedicated years to deciphering these mechanisms, though success often reveals
chambers containing only more elaborate puzzles rather than conventional
treasures.

The black water harbors life forms unlike any in Earth’s evolutionary history.
Translucent creatures resembling geometric constructs, perfect spheres
trailing tendrils in Fibonacci spirals, cubic entities that unfold into two-
dimensional planes when hunting, and colonies of microscopic organisms that
arrange themselves into patterns mimicking written language all move beneath
the
surface with apparent purpose. These beings generally ignore human presence
unless disturbed, at which point they exhibit defensive capabilities ranging
from bioelectric discharges to localized manipulation of gravitational forces.

Throughout the ruins, the black water ripples with movements that originate
from depths no exploration team has successfully reached. Sonar mapping
reveals structures extending miles below the accessible portions of Atlantis,
their scale and complexity increasing with depth. The few probes sent into
these abyssal regions have either ceased functioning or returned with data so
corrupted it suggests fundamental incompatibility between whatever exists
below and the principles upon which our technology is based. .

When used outside of combat the attack command will start a fight, in
fast combat all people will then be able to start moving or attacking as
they wish, in an emote fight it will generate a turn order and start to work
through them.

Typing attack skip will skip your turn in emote combat, in fast combat it
won’t have any real effect except that if all participants in a fight type
attack skip the fight will end.

Possible syntaxes for attack are:

Attack (person)

When the command is used like this on a target in melee range it will pick
your highest melee discipline to use, when used on a target at range it will
pick the highest ranged discipline to use. Note the highest ranged
discipline might not always be the most effective discipline to use
depending on the range of the target.

Attack (person) (discipline)

This syntax allows you to pick the discipline you’d like to use for the
attack.

Attack (person) (customname)

This syntax allows you to use a custom attack, in fast combat your attack
will use the message you’ve written for this attack instead of the default
message. In both fast combat and emote combat it will attach any special
affect you’ve set up on that custom to the attack.

(Customname) (person) is an alternate syntax for using custom attacks. See
also Help Myattacks.

Attack (person) knockout

Used in melee range on someone who has run out of defense to knock them out
to be captured.

Attack defend

Skip your chance to attack to instead take 66% damage until your next turn
to attack.

You can also use tackle (target) to move your character instantly up to two
rooms towards the target and immediately start a fight.

Syntax: attempt [character name] [emote text]

The attempt command lets you propose an emote involving another character,
requiring their consent before the action is performed.

When you use this command:
1. The specified character will receive a
notification with your proposed emote
2. They can respond with ‘yes’ to
approve or ‘no’ to decline
3. If approved, your emote will be displayed to
the room with a note showing it was approved
4. If declined, no emote appears
(you can then RP either a failed attempt or something else)

• try

This stat represents a baseline attractiveness that isn’t brought about by any
special skills, deals, powers or behaviors.

-1: Someone who is less attractive than average
0: Someone of average attractiveness
1: Someone who is more attractive than average

Whenever you look at any unmasked character you will see a number out of
ten representing how attractive they are to your own character.

The attractiveness stat puts a floor on how low someone’s appearance can go.

There are three other aspects that go into attractiveness:

Body: Determined primarily by the physical conditioning stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if you are wearing less clothing than you
typically do.

Presentation: Determined primarily by the fashion knowledge stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if you are wearing an outfit that is more
expensive than you typically do.

Face/Skin: Determined primarily by the beauty rituals stat.
Provides enhanced benefit if it has been less time since your most
recent shower than typical and/or you are wearing more makeup than
is typical.

You can use the ‘checkout’ command to look at the breakdown of a
character’s appearance.

Being higher tier will also add an additional boost for each tier
above 1. And small boosts can also be obtained from perfume, shapewear,
ambient light levels, and character effectslike orientation, vehicle
buffs, praise etc.

Attractiveness works exactly the same for men and women.

The bloodbath command can be used to partially reset your characters
history for body/presentation/face/skin. See Help Bloodbath.

Syntax: Augment (weapon/armor) (Type)

When used in an engineering bay this command enhances a weapon or set
of armor for cash.

The Engineering skill reduces the cost and increases the duration of
augments, the hunter focus reduces the cost of augments except for
advanced, and the commander focus increases the duration of augments. Augments
on melee weapons have an indefinite duration.

The possible types are:

Advanced
Costs $1, 000. Causes weapons do do 20% more damage or armor wearers to
take 20% less damage for the duration.

Silver
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to werewolves struck with them.

Wood
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to vampires.

Incendiary
Costs $250. Ranged weapons only. Makes them unaffected by a vampires
damage per round cap.

Iron
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to faeborn.

Quartz
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to demonborn.

Obsidian
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to angelborn.

Radioactive
Costs $250. Causes weapons to apply
additional stagger to demigods.

Flechette
Costs $250. Causes weapons to do more damage based on the max
and current defense value of the target with a bonus to those without
clothing.

Armorpiercing
Costs $500. Attacks do less damage overall but do sixty
percent of that damage to targets in cover.

Stagger is only applied if an attack does at least 5 damage. Augmented weapons
cannot be poisoned.

Requirements: Fae Knight 3, Natural Magic 2, Illusory Magic 3, Dark Magic 3

This stat allows people shifting into animal forms smaller than mansized to
bring their clothes and belongings with them.

Syntax: Autofire

When toggled on, a character will automatically attack when their attack
becomes available.

It will always reuse the last attack used when auto attacking.

Syntax: Autoskip

Sets a toggle that will make you automatically skip your turn in emote
combat.

Syntax: availability (high/low/normal)

This OOC command alters your PC’s availability for RP. Characters with high
availability are locatable with the where command and can be supernaturally
lured. They are more likely to be chosen for encounters and patrol events.

Characters with low availability are much less likely to be chosen for
encounters and patrol events, but suffer some mild RPXP and influence
penalties.

Syntax: Award (player) (reason)

Award is an SR command that gives the target a bonus to their ability to
earn karma up to a certain point. SRs earn awards to give out as they
engage in SR activities and this is tracked over their account.

A reason has to be given and that shows to any other SRs online as well as
to any staff and is logged. Award is in place to reward people for
particularly good RP, using it to try and simply help out yourself or your
friends may get your ability to SR removed.

• story runner commands

In the claustrophobic depths before one reaches Atlantis lies humanity’s first
great city, Babylon, its massive ziggurats and broad processional ways
preserved in a perpetual state of decay that never quite reaches dissolution.
The air here burns the lungs with sulfurous heat, carrying the scent of
ancient fires and something older – the breath of creation itself, some
delvers claim; preserved from when the world was young and gods walked openly among
their creations.

The ziggurat of Etemenanki dominates the cityscape, its seven tiers
representing the known planets of the ancient world. Though partially
collapsed on its eastern face, the structure remains largely intact, its mud-
brick core having transmuted over millennia into something resembling basalt
but with properties that allow it to repair minor damage over time. The temple
at its summit, once dedicated to Marduk, now houses something else, a presence
better felt than seen, which causes electromagnetic equipment to fail and
organic materials to age rapidly when brought too close.

The walls of Babylon bear the earliest forms of writing, cuneiform texts that
cover nearly every vertical surface in the ruins. These inscriptions defy
conventional understanding, as they appear to rearrange themselves when not
directly observed, forming new sentences and concepts that respond to the
questions in delvers’ minds. Linguists who have studied photographs of the
same wall sections taken minutes apart have identified subtle changes that
cannot be explained by lighting or perspective, confirming this phenomenon is
not mere hallucination.

The hanging gardens remain, though what they now nurture would have horrified
their original creators. Plants that feed on sound grow in dense thickets,
their leaves vibrating to absorb the energy of footsteps or whispered
conversations. Flowers bloom with approximations of human faces, their
expressions changing to mimic those who observe them. Most disturbing are the
arbor-forms, tree-like structures that have grown into humanoid shapes, rooted
in place but capable of limited movement, their branches reaching toward
passersby with apparent purpose.

Throughout the ruins, delvers encounter evidence of advanced knowledge that
should have been beyond ancient Babylonian capability; astronomical
calculations accurate to six decimal places, mathematical proofs that wouldn’t
be rediscovered until the 20th century, and architectural principles that
achieve perfect acoustic properties through seemingly simple design. This
knowledge appears alongside ritualistic instructions for communicating with
entities described as “those who dwell between stars” and warnings about “the
price of wisdom freely given.”

The most dangerous aspect of Babylon is what lurks in its shadows, forms which
move only when not directly observed, composed of darkness deeper than the
absence of light. These entities leave no footprints and register on no
sensors, their existence confirmed only through the consistent testimony of
survivors who describe feeling watched from angles that shouldn’t exist within
three-dimensional space. Expedition members who become separated from their
groups are often found in states of catatonia, their eyes fixed on empty
corners and their mouths forming words in languages they never learned.

Syntax: balance

Displays your character’s complete financial information, including:

Current cash on hand
Bank account balance
Special credit accounts (shopping, housing, commercial, and faction credits if
applicable)
Date of your next payday
Financial projections including:
Estimated upcoming pay
Estimated lifestyle expenses (living costs)
Estimated vehicle maintenance costs

Type: Defensive

This discipline covers the use of modern armor, often made from Kevlar and
fashioned most often specifically to absorb gunfire. Starting with a simple
and fairly low cost vest ballistic armor can range up to full suits made
from cutting edge materials.

Takes 80% damage from all firearms.
Takes 90% damage from bows, thrown weapons and spearguns.
Takes 90% damage from striking attacks.

See Also

• disciplines

Type: Defensive

This discipline covers the use of modern shields that are designed
specifically to counteract gunfire. Due to the large size of shields
anyone attempting to use them who didn’t have them out at the start of the
fight will suffer debuffs.

Note: With shields, your ‘shield’ armor must be exposed.

Takes 80% damage from Shotguns.
Takes 90% damage from Rifles, Carbines and Pistols.
Takes 90% damage From Melee weapons, Bows, Thrown Weapons and Spearguns
Takes 90% damage from grappling attacks.
Takes 80% damage from sorcery.

Syntax Banish (person) / Unbanish (person)

This command can only be used by society leaders, when used it will remove
someone from New Haven and send them to Boston, they will also be unable to
return to the city unless a society leader lifts the banishment with the
unbanish command. The person lifting the banishment does not have to be the
same person who gave it. When someone is unbanished they become immune to
banishment for a day or two.

This command is primarily designed to be an anti-troll mechanism, it allows
players to quickly and easily get rid of people playing ridiculous
characters with no respect for the society’s authority. Obviously as long
as just one society leader thinks you’re ok they can easily reverse it and
prevent it from being used on you, so it’s only real purpose is against
people who’re pissing off everybody at once.

Syntax: Banktransfer (person) (amount in dollars)

This command allows people to send money to the bank account of others
remotely, even if they’re not online. The minimum amount is $10 and every
transfer attracts a $2.50 fee.

A new character on grid will not be immediately able to use banktransfer.

Syntax: bargain <untie|flight|fight|knowledge|strength|life>

This command allows you to make bargains with demons for various benefits,
but at a cost of increasing your invitation level and also possibly your
acedia.

Each bargain type provides different assistance:
Untie: Will continue to untie yourself when using the ‘escape’ command even if
being
actively RPed with.
Flight: Helps with escaping situations, allows you to instantly flee once you
have
broken out of your bindings.
Fight: Provides a powerful combat boost for five minutes after breaking out of
your
bindings.
Knowledge: Provides 10k RPXP that can be used only on this character.
Strength: Provides 20K Combat XP that can be used only on this character.
Life: A powerful bargain that resurrects you if you’re dead, transforming you
into
a Wight. This bargain requires you to be at least tier 2 and cannot be used if
you’re already a Wight. Wights cannot be resurrected by any other means
either.

Characters who are already invite level 10 cannot use this command, the three
escape powers remain active for twenty four hours after use.

Syntax: battle follow (person)
Syntax: battle attack (person)
Syntax: battle atwill
Syntax: battle transfer (person)

The battle command is used to instruct NPC soldiers in operations.

Battle follow will assign the soldiers to follow the assigned ally. Battle
attack will order the soldiers to attack the assigned target. Battle atwill
will relieve the soldiers of their orders and allow their base AI to take
over. Battle transfer is used to grant command of the soldiers in the
operation to another ally.

Known Issues: Battle instructions seem to override the order instructions for
allied NPC minions and muscle, even if they do not specifically belong to you.
Play with this in mind.

Requirements: Neither physical conditioning or fashion knowledge already at
that rank.

This stat represents a characters use of beauty products, hygiene and even
mystical arts
to appear more attractive to others. Will provide a larger benefit when a
character has
showered more recently than is typical and/or is wearing more makeup.

Supernatural development usually begins right as puberty starts to end.
The most typical age for this in males is 18, 16 for females. Development
takes on average three years.

Supernatural development generally begins quite subtly, with mild increases
in health and physical performance, those around the developing supernatural
might notice that they generally seem to have more energy than normal, and
begin to perform better in sports.

The development takes its toll however, only a few months in most would be
supernaturals start to exhibit mental symptoms. Mild to severe psychiatric
disorders, as well as irresponsibility, poor judgment, recklessness are all
common side effects. While mental disease is no more common in adult
supernatural than adult naturals, a full 75% of them will have a past
history of mental disease or crime. Short prison stints or periods in
asylums are relatively common.

About midway through the process actual supernatural abilities and talents
will begin to develop, usually starting off very uncontrollable and of
extremely mild power but slowly increasing in strength. It’s also common at
this time for characters to begin to have dreams related to their ancestry.

As the process comes to a close, the mental effects fade away, the dreams
become much less common and the individual’s abilities both grow stronger
and come more completely under their control. As far as the world is
concerned the individual has successfully managed to ‘turn their life
around.’

There are two ways for supernatural development to be blocked. The first is
insanity, characters who’re highly mentally unstable will be stuck in a stage
where their powers are weak and uncontrollable, they also are often stuck
with the ancestry dreams as well, which can make them useful research
subjects for trying to glean more information about the past of
supernaturals. This also means that despite their likely troubled past,
serious mental disorders of the mundane type are all but unheard of amongst
active supernaturals.

The second is complete closed-mindedness to the possibility of the
supernatural. This has to go far beyond normal scientific skepticism. It
can occur when treatment for their mental illness is particularly severe and
effective, or when someone has been raised into a strong belief that
contradicts the existence of the supernatural. Occasionally people with
particularly distressing powers or who’ve used them in particularly
distressing ways will create a subconscious block themselves preventing
their belief. Societies also occasionally brainwash people into this belief
in order to lock their abilities away.

Mature development also occurs but is much rarer in the world at large.
Only 5% of supernaturals will develop late, but there’s no particular time
when it will occur if they do. It’s much more common than this in New Haven
however because of the proximity to the gate. It also occurs if someone has
a block that occurred before or during supernatural development that then
breaks in later life. Mature development is much faster, usually taking
place over only a few weeks. However it is also more dangerous, if the
individual develops psychological or behavioral problems they’re likely to
be much more severe, causing people to become raging psychotics or malicious
psychopaths for short periods of time before the effects fade.

Many people attempt to become supernatural, fortunately a good portion of
the world’s population has some fragment of a supernatural gene within them,
and thus have a chance of manifesting it if they try. When successful these
attempts produce something very similar to mature development, although the
psychological and behavioral side effects are usually less common, only
affecting about 25% of deliberately manifested people.

Methods:

Alchemy) Experimentation with potions comprised of mixtures of mundane and
supernatural ingredients can be effective at triggering a manifestation.
Although the exact same potion will never work on two different people.

Gene Therapy) Modern science also has a solution, genetic therapies based on
the genes of manifested supernaturals can be effective at triggering
manifestation, although again each treatment is unique to the patient.

Meditation) Some people are able to trigger manifestation after prolonged
periods of mastering monk-like meditation practices.

Ritualism) Experimentations with mystical rituals directed at the target can
be effective at inducing manifestation, although again the exact ritual will
be unique to the individual, it also tends to go through a lot of blood
before the right one is found.

Trauma) Sometimes manifestation is brought on by serious physical or mental
trauma, in some cases this may be used to attempt to induce manifestation.
Sometimes in very primitive ways such as torture, other times in more
clinical ways such as anesthetized electroshock therapy.

The most recently fallen of the cities-between presents a unique challenge to
delvers, as much of the physical structure seems to flicker between corporeal
and incorporeal states. Streets that appeared solid moments before may
suddenly become translucent, allowing glimpses of chambers below, while
buildings waver like heat mirages despite the perpetual dampness of the air.

Streets paved with opalescent stone shift and rearrange themselves when
travelers look away, creating a network of roads that defy mapping.
Cartographers
who have attempted to document Biringan have produced wildly different charts,
each valid only for the moment it was created. The central plaza, constructed
around
a crystalline clock tower whose hands move counter-clockwise, serves as the
only reliable landmark. Even then, the tower sometimes appears as a solid
structure of translucent crystal and other times as little more than a
suggestion of architecture, its outline barely distinguishable from the mist
that perpetually shrouds the city.

Sometimes this shifting reality gives opportunities to access locked chambers
full of strange treasures, but just as often it causes the ground to fall away
beneath the feet of an explorer. These phase shifts also cause electronics to
behave strangely.

The deeper chambers of Biringan harbor creatures that adapted to the magical
environment; translucent crabs with crystalline shells that can phase through
solid matter, schools of fish that swim through air as easily as water, and
more troubling entities that some delvers describe as “human silhouettes
filled with starlight.” These beings observe explorers from a distance but
vanish when approached, leaving behind only the faint sound of wind chimes.

This field represents when your character was born and is of the format
(year) (month) (day). All archetypes have different limits on what their
ages can be.

Syntax: Bite (target) (neck/thigh/wrist)

Vampires and blood drinkers need to regularly bite PCs to keep their life
force
up. This command always works on helpless targets otherwise there’s a chance
for it to succeed based on environmental factors. Nobody else can be around
to serve as a witness. Characters need hypnotism 1 to bite non-helpless
targets.

Wights also need to use the bite command to feed, they can only bite helpless
targets and do so with simply bite (target).

Effects of Blood on Vampires:
Vampires can feed on supernaturals, but this blood is inevitably unusable for
rituals due to an inherent taint. Supernatural blood, or human blood with a
supernatural origin, has special effects on a vampire who drinks it.

Blood Type: Effect:
Angelborn Feel more sensitive and humane.
Demigod Similar to cocaine. Feel fearless. Become prone to recklessness.
Demonborn Feel disassociated from human emotions or sensitivities.
Faeborn Similar to ecstasy. Become more prone to amorous activities.
Werewolf Feel more primal. Become likely to give in to baser impulses for
sex and violence.

Black Sun is the name of a private military organization who works
for an unspecified collection of billionaires, corporations and
countries. They specifically offer services to be a bulwark against
the strange or supernatural that many of these powerful individuals
find unsettling or worrying.

One of their primary functions is to gather intelligence on the supernatural
world and to investigate ways to leverage the supernatural into
marketable technology.

To that end, on a semi-regular basis the Black Sun will occupy New
Haven, black-bagging many characters, especially supernaturals,
and imprisoning them in the Palladium Clinic in order to interrogate
them or experiment on them.

Characters can use clinic tipoff (amount) (character name) to spend
favor in order to increase the chances that the target character
will be among those black-bagged into the clinic.

The borough command displays detailed information about a specific borough.
The city is broken up into eleven boroughs. All the boroughs other than
downtown have regular city elections.

There are two elections every two weeks so all boroughs will cycle about
once every 10 weeks.

Winning an election means the governing group’s members will earn favor
every week which will be distributed based on the strength of the borough
and the contributions of the individual.

Schemes, Monsters and Raids can reduce the strength of a borough temporarily.

The more boroughs a group controls the harder it will be to control further

Requirements: Tier 3

Syntax: Brand (person) (location) (message)
Example: Brand John neck a flaming skull
Appearance: He has a symbol of a flaming skull on his neck.

Branding is the go to method of choice for more powerful supernaturals to
keep control over less powerful beings and devoted humans. The power
conveys an ability to press their hand against someone’s exposed skin and
leave a permanent mark of their symbol there which will appear as ‘He/She
has a symbol of (message) on his/her (location)’

It costs the user some amount of life force, generally around 20% for
branding someone of equal power level to yourself.
There is a cooldown of several weeks between branding people.

When a victim is branded any compulsions, body compulsions, triggered
instructions or triggered body instructions will become sealed in and will
never fade until the brand is removed. Triggered instructions that are
sealed will fade when satiated, but will simply return again once the
trigger occurs once more.

sensations to a body part of your victim. Useful as an easy access tool for
disciplining your property.

Syntax: Brand incapacitate (target)
This command sends a surge of pain along the brand link to render your
target temporarily insensible in order to easily recapture property that’s
trying to flee.

Syntax: Brand listen/brand listen stop
For about 0. 1% of your life force this command allows you to enter a
state in which you can hear everything any one of your branded can hear.
Useful for checking on your property to ensure loyalty.

Syntax: Brand watch/brand watch stop
For the truly paranoid human owner, for 2.5% of your life force you can
enter an even deeper state of observation where you also see what they are
doing.

Syntax: Brand remove(target)
Performed in a magical workshop this command allows someone to be
released from a mystical branding. It costs $15, 000 in resources if done
immediately, but the longer the person has had the brand the further the
cost reduces, down to a minimum of $500 at a rate of $10 per
hour, logged in or out.

Syntax: breakin (direction)

This command can be used to force entry into a property by breaking down a
door
or wall in the direction specified. It uses your demolitions or strength score
to challenge the household toughness rating of the room you are currently
trying to break into.

The first use of breakin on a property cost $50, but not any successive
times until the next reboot.

Syntax: breakout

This command allows you to break free from bindings or escape from a room,
but only when specific conditions are met.

When bound (either completely or just your feet): – If you’ve initiated the
break binding process and it has completed, you’ll break free
from your bindings – You will recover all health – If you have an active
flee bargain, you’ll automatically escape to another room.
Otherwise, you’ll receive a broken chair leg as a weapon. If you have an
active fight bargain, you’ll receive a temporary boost for 5 minutes

When not bound: – If you’ve initiated the room escape process and it has
completed (timer = 1), you’ll escape the room you are in back to your home
room.

The legendary seat of Arthur’s court now resides in perpetual twilight, its
once-proud towers and walls reduced to crumbling stone embraced by the earth.
The caverns housing Camelot’s remains are perpetually filled with mist that
swirls and eddies as though stirred by phantom breezes, occasionally forming
shapes that resemble armored knights or ladies in flowing gowns before
dissolving back into formlessness.

The Round Table Chamber remains partially intact, though the famous table
itself has collapsed into the center where the floor gave way centuries ago.
What remains is a circular room with stone seating for fifty knights, each
position marked with a barely-legible Norman French inscription naming its
occupant. The ceiling above has partially fallen in, creating a shaft through
which pale light filters down, illuminating motes of dust that dance like
falling stars. Delvers report that on certain days, particularly those
associated with Arthurian legend, the dust arranges itself into maps
of battles or scenes from the king’s life.

Camelot’s courtyard, once the site of tournaments and celebrations, now hosts
a grove of gnarled oak trees whose bark bears patterns resembling faces in
torment. These trees have somehow adapted to grow without sunlight, their
leaves a pale silver that reflects even the faintest illumination. The roots
of these trees have penetrated deep into the foundations of surrounding
structures, simultaneously supporting and disrupting the ancient stonework.
Botanists examining samples from these trees have discovered cellular
structures unlike any known plant species, suggesting they may not be trees at
all, but rather something merely adopting their form.

Throughout the ruins, the sound of metal striking metal echoes at irregular
intervals, the phantom clash of swords from duels and melees long concluded.
These
sounds intensify near what appears to have been an armory, now collapsed into
a heap of rusted weapons and armor fragments. Occasionally, pieces of this
ancient arsenal levitate briefly before clattering back to the ground, as
though being inspected by invisible hands. The few intact weapons recovered
from this site exhibit metallurgical properties that defy modern analysis,
with compositions that include elements not found on the periodic table.

Beneath the main structure of Camelot lies a network of tunnels that appears
to have been constructed as an escape route but was never completed. These
passages terminate abruptly in smooth stone walls carved with prophecies in a
mixture of Latin, Old English, and symbols that linguists have tentatively
identified as Proto-Celtic. These texts speak of Arthur’s promised return and
contain descriptions of events throughout history with disturbing accuracy,
including some that have not yet occurred.

The wisps that float through Camelot’s mists avoid direct contact with
intruders but seem to observe them with intelligence. These ethereal lights
occasionally form complex patterns that correspond to constellations not
visible from Earth’s surface, suggesting either astronomical knowledge beyond
medieval capability or communication with entities beyond our world. Delvers
who have spent more than three consecutive days in the ruins report dreaming
of these wisps speaking to them in voices they recognize from their waking
lives, though they cannot recall the content of these conversations upon
waking.

Valuable treasures remain scattered throughout Camelot’s ruins: ceremonial
daggers with blades that never dull, chalices whose water never stagnates, and
tapestries whose colors remain vibrant despite centuries of darkness and damp.
However, removing these items often triggers collapse of nearby structures, as
if the ruins themselves resist being plundered.

abduct (person)

It is possible in Haven to take enemies prisoner instead of simply killing
them, when a PC has run out of defense a melee range attack can be used with
attack (person) knockout or simply knockout (person). This attack has a 1
in three chance of success and will knock the target out for half an hour.

While knocked out the target can be tied up with the bind command which will
permanently lock them into a helpless state until someone else unties them.

When someone is helpless, either through being bound or unconscious they can
be moved around regardless of their permission by using drag or carry
commands, or in the case of traveling or cars by including their name after
the destination.

They also cannot move around on their own, or communicate with their phone.
Several other commands also become usable on them.

Execute will kill a captive at the price of significant political capital.
Attempting to execute someone without the required capital will not work.

Wound will let you inflict a certain level of wound on your target, you can
also add a message that will appear when people look at them until that
wound has healed.

Mark will let you put a temporary message that will appear when people
look at them for a while afterwards.

Force will allow you to do other things such as change their clothes or
appearance, rob them or turn them into a vampire/werewolf.

Abduct can be used in a room where a player has logged off and if successful
will bring their unconscious body back into the game where it can be
interacted with. See help abduct.

Cars and motorcycles help you get around New Haven. To obtain a car you need
to use the garage command, see help garage for more information.

Vehicles may be of one or two types, and of five different quality levels.
Vehicles of two types cost twice as much to obtain the same level of
quality. Each type conveys different bonuses. These quality levels are
seen as junker, economy, standard, high and excellent quality.

Vehicles are paid for every week, the default value is 0.5% of the
vehicle’s value, but those with multiple vehicles garaged may pay less for
their extra ones if they aren’t being loaned out, with the discount
increasing based on the owner’s wealth stat.

Once you have a vehicle you can use it with the drive or ride commands, and
can use park to stop your vehicle prematurely, drive slow to slow down, or
stall to pause in your travel where you currently are.

Vehicles have to be driven from the point they were last driven to, if the
vehicle is new or their location is invalid for some reason they can be
driven from any intersection.

Vehicles have stashes inside them accessible from their last driven to
location.

Damaged vehicles repair automatically, but are unavailable until they are
repaired fully.

Characters who hide in the same room as their vehicle will gain a stealth
bonus to represent their stake out.

Types

Safe: Less likely to have an accident when driving in the mist, less
likely to be injured when attacked or in an accident.
Excellent Bonus: Impossible to have an accident in the mist when driving
slowly.

Negative Tier Modifier

Removable: Yes.

This modifier represents vampires who have spent long periods of their
unlife under the earth. As a result they tend to be very disconnected from
reality, they move slowly and lethargically and are very disconnected from
events going on around them. Often seem permanently slightly dazed. These
effects can fade however if the vampire spends a long enough period out of
the earth, or is in some other way jolted into more full awareness of the
world.

Syntax: Cauterize (own name)

If a character has been turned to a werewolf, using this command allows the
change to be stopped at a cost of 1000 karma.

It also severely wounds the character, the wound and karma cost is applied
even if the char using the command would not actually turn into a werewolf.

Syntax: cdrives [list|add <#>|remove <#>|plot <fear/ambition> <#>

motivations through “drives” – divided into ambitions (things you want) and
fears (things you dread).

When used without arguments, cdrives displays your active drives. The ‘list’
option shows all available drives in the system, with your active ones
marked.

Players can have up to 3 active ambitions and 5 active fears at once. Use
‘add’ to activate a drive by its number, and ‘remove’ to deactivate one.

Character drives can be used for roleplay opportunities:
Using ‘plot’ submits a request to a Storyrunner in your room for a score
based on one of your drives. This indicates an instance where one of your
drives
caused your character to make a mistake.

Using ‘character’ sends a request to another player in your room to score you
based on one of your drives. This indicates an instance where one of your
drives
caused interpersonal failings or conflict.
Using ‘rate’ allows you to rate another player’s drive request on a scale of
0-10 (0 dismisses the request)

Requirements: socialite Focus 1

This stat represents those who’ve gained enough supernatural influence and
power to arrange to get themselves genuine celebrity status. Their fame
flag is visible to everyone and is set with fame (string).

Celestriana rises from the western reaches of the Other, a jagged monument
to nature’s most sublime and terrible aspects. Towering mountains of obsidian
and quartz catch the light of twin moons, creating a landscape that seems to
shimmer and shift when viewed from different angles.

The terrain is dominated by the Spire Mountains, whose peaks are said to
pierce the very fabric of reality, allowing glimpses into other worlds through
the aurora-like phenomena that dance between them. Within these mountains lie
countless caves and ravines, many leading to vast underground networks that
the few human inhabitants have learned to navigate by necessity rather than
choice.

Most notorious among these cavern systems is the Labyrinth of Echoes, where
sounds repeat and distort until they transform into voices that whisper
secrets or madness, depending on the listener. Fae lords occasionally use this
natural wonder as a venue for their more elaborate games, releasing captives
into the maze and wagering on how long they survive before the darkness claims
them.

The largest human settlement, Solace, exists in a deep valley protected by
natural formations that disrupt the hunting patterns of nocturnal predators.
Built primarily underground with only minimal structures visible on the
surface, the community has survived for seven generations by maintaining
strict protocols: no fires after sunset, no metal objects that might gleam in
moonlight, and no children allowed outside the central chambers until they can
recite the complete Litany of Silence, the formal rules of quiet and not
drawing attention.

By day, Celestriana offers resources worth the considerable risk, rare
crystals with inherent magical properties, herbs that grow nowhere else in the
Other, and the precious, luminous fungi that serve as both food sources and
trading commodities for the human enclaves. Gathering expeditions are
carefully timed and coordinated, with sentries posted to watch for the first
signs of dusk.

Abandoned Fae structures dot the landscape, elegant ruins of impossible
architecture left behind when their creators grew bored or moved on to new
diversions. The wisest travelers use these locations sparingly and never twice
in succession.

Syntax: charm <list|purchase|equip|stash|trash> [charm name]

The charm command allows you to manage your collection of magical charms.
Charms are usually small objects like coins or charm bracelets that convey
some minor supernatural power when in your possession. You can only have
three active charms at a time.

Available options:

List: Displays all charms you currently own, their status
(Equipped/Stashed), cost, and description.
Purchase [charm name]: Buys a new charm with favor and adds it to your stash.
Equip [charm name]: Activates a charm from your stash. You can have a maximum
of three charms
equipped at once. Must be used in a bedroom.
Stash [charm name]: Deactivates an equipped charm and returns it to your
stash.
Trash [charm name]: Permanently removes a charm from your collection. Must be
used in a bedroom.

Syntax: charon resurrect <name1,name2,…>
charon cost <name1,name2,…>

The charon command allows players to resurrect dead characters by paying a
fee in Charon coins. Each Charon coin costs 100 favor to purchase.

With “charon cost”, you can check how many coins would be required to
resurrect one or more characters without actually performing the
resurrection.

With “charon resurrect”, you can bring characters back to life if you have
enough Charon coins to pay the fee.

When resurrecting multiple characters at once, a discount is applied – each
additional character costs 80% of what they would normally cost. Characters
are listed in a comma-separated format.

Some characters may not be available for resurrection or may be permanently
lost.

Syntax: Clock
Start/Stop/Pause/Pushback/Speedup/Slowdown/List/Info/Delete/Forcetick

The ‘clock’ command allows SRs to create, manage, and display
timed progress trackers. These clocks can represent anything
from the duration of a ritual, the approach of reinforcements, the progress of
a complex task, or rounds in the scenario.

Clocks tick automatically at specified intervals (in real-world minutes). They
can optionally be divided into segments to track progress towards a goal.
If turn limited is enabled players will only be be able to use try and
attempt once per tick of that clock.

Only the SR who creates a clock can manage it using these commands. Players in
the room will see messages when clocks start, tick, pause, stop, or complete,
based on the clock’s description.

Creating Clocks:
Use the ‘make clock’ command to initiate the clock creation process. You will
be prompted for the following information:

Name: A unique name to identify this clock for commands (e.g.,
“RitualTimer”, “GuardPatrol”).
Desc: A description shown to players in the room when the clock
starts, ticks, etc. (e.g., “The arcane ritual pulses”, “Distant
footsteps grow louder”).
Minutes: The number of real-world minutes between each tick of the clock.
Segments: (Optional) The total number of segments (ticks) the clock needs
to complete. Enter 0 or leave blank if the clock should tick
indefinitely until stopped or deleted. Progress is shown as
“current/total” (e.g., 3/6).
TurnLimiting: Enter ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If ‘Yes’, each tick of this clock will
reset the ability to use try and assist for players.

Type ‘done’ when finished editing the clock details.

Commands:

clock list
Lists all clocks you have created, showing their name, status, minutes per
turn, and segment progress (if applicable).

clock info <clock_name>
Displays detailed information about the specified clock, including its
name, description, status, minutes per turn, segment progress, turn
limiting status, next scheduled tick time, and last used time.

clock start <clock_name>
Starts a stopped or paused clock.

clock stop <clock_name>
Stops a running or paused clock.

clock pause <clock_name>
Pauses a currently running clock. It retains its current progress and
remaining time until the next tick but stops counting down. Use ‘clock
start’ to resume.

clock pushback <clock_name> [number]
For a running, segmented clock, reduces the current segment count by the
specified number (default is 1). The segment count cannot go below 1.
If a clock represented some impending doom, this could be used to
represent players delaying that.

clock speedup <clock_name> [minutes]
Decreases the time better ticks by the specified
amount (default is 1 minute). The interval cannot be reduced below 1
minute per turn.

clock slowdown <clock_name> [minutes]
Increases the time between ticks by the specified
amount (default is 1 minute).

clock forcetick <clock_name>
Immediately triggers a tick for a running clock, bypassing the normal timer.

clock delete <clock_name>
Permanently deletes the specified clock from the database. This action
cannot be undone.

• Storyrunner Commands

Syntax: clone (object being overwritten) (object you wish to duplicate)

This command will clone the various aspects of one object, including
descriptions, and cost, onto another. Be aware that cloning does charge you
the difference in cost between the two objects, in addition, this command can
duplicate and overwrite items in your stash.

Syntax: close <object/dir>

Close closes an opened object or door.

Syntax: clothemote [item] [emote]

This command allows you to perform a customized emote with a special
“faecloth” item. The command works by finding a faecloth item either in your
inventory or in another player’s inventory (if they’re in the same room) that
matches the specified name and belongs to you.

The emote will then appear as if the clothing item is doing it.

See Also

• Faecloth

Clothing and jewelry are item types that can be customized and worn. Some
bag items can also be worn. The outfit system can be used to create
and change into full outfits easily.

Clothing, jewelry and all customized items should be set as close to their
real life counterparts as possible. Clothing that is too cheap is likely
to be treated as such in game by other characters, particularly high-end
brands, which will likely be treated as knockoffs.

Layering:
Clothing, jewelry, bag and armor items can all be set to a specific layer.
Layers range from 0-10. 10 represents the outermost layer, 1 represents the
innermost layer, and 0 will put the object on whatever layer it can fit on
when worn.

Clothing and armor will cover whatever body parts they are set to cover,
as well as hiding any clothing in an inner layer that covers the same spots.
Inner layers can be exposed or hidden with the zip command if any spots
are set for the outer layer.

Jewelry will never cover body parts or inner layers. However, it can be
hidden by outer layers of clothing, provided it has a cover spot set. For
example, a common piece of jewelry is a ring, which is usually worn on the
hands. If set to cover hands, a clothing item such as a pair of gloves will
hide the ring when the gloves are worn, provided it is set on an outer layer.

A maximum of 5 items can be worn per layer.

Cleaning:
Syntax: clean (item)
Cost: $10
Clothing and jewelry that has gotten dirty can be cleaned with the clean
command for $10 per item, or will clean themselves in a stash while your
character is online, though this method is slower.

Outfitproof:
Syntax: outfitproof (item)
Cost: $0
An outfitproof item will never be automatically stashed with the outfit
commands. However, if not saved in an existing outfit, the item will be
removed and put in the inventory when your character changes. This is useful
for things like wedding rings.

Waterproof:
Syntax: waterproof (item)
Cost: $20
Certain items will become see-through when wet, namely items which have the
keywords sheer, white, ivory, etc. Waterproofing these items will prevent this
from happening in the future.

Syntax: clothprivate <person> <item> <emote>

This command allows you to perform a private emote using a faecloth item. The
emote is only seen by you and the target player.

The faecloth item must be an item you bought and in you inventory or the
inventory of the person being targeted.

The target will then see the item acting in a private emote.

• Faecloth

Syntax: clothrecall [character]

This command allows you to magically recall your fae cloth from another

There are two types of combat in Haven; fast combat and emote combat.
Fast combat is what is normally used during on-grid combat between players or
when NPCs are involved in the fight,
such as when leveling up in the outer boroughs. During fast combat you
can attack and/or move every 12 seconds, each one being on a separate timer.
Attacks are normally made with either a default message, or with a custom
pre-written message. Also see Help Speed.

Emote combat is normally used when PCs are sparringeach other. During
emote combat characters take it in turns to pick where they want to move and
how they want to attack, they then write an emote, when the emote is
finished and sent the relevant attacks and moves are performed. Emote
combat is started by a player typing ‘attack’ in a sparring room.

Both combat types use the exact same values and calculations. Disciplines
are used primarily for combat and are improved with experience gained by
using them. There are three types of discipline, ranged, melee and
defensive. Ranged disciplines all have different ranges, and will do
maximum damage at half that range, dropping off to 0 at above max range and
0 at melee range. Melee disciplines always do max damage if at melee range,
but otherwise can’t hit.

Each Discipline does its value in damage ordinarily, unless affected by
range or other effects. Defensive disciplines provide 5 times their value
in defense.

Once all your defense is gone, attacks will cause you to suffer wounds,
wounds can take a long time to heal and if severe enough might cause you to
die without hospital care.

Characters can move a base of 10 per turn in any direction, they can also
charge directly at someone, doubling how far they can move.

The most basic way to attack is simply attack (target), picking a default
discipline, or attack (target) (discipline) to choose your own discipline,
lastly attack (target) (customname) to use a custom attack.

To move you simply type move (person) away/charge/(distance as a number to
move towards them). You can also use move (xcoord) (ycoord), move flee or
the cardinal direction commands.

Custom attacks can be set up with the ‘make attack’ command, and have a
name, discipline, a string for how they look like as well as an optional
special flag. Special flags allow you to attach effects to attacks.

You can also type map to see a visual representation of the battlefield.

There are three main focus paths: the arcane tree (minions, rituals, mancing);
the combat tree (melee and ranged combat); and the professional tree (wealth,
contacts, and social/job skills). Each focus tree has its own set of foci
within it. Every point spent in one of these trees, regardless of whether or
not it’s on the same focus, unlocks greater potential for development in terms
of stats and occasionally powers. When points are spent on the same focus, you
develop additional abilities related to that focus line. The following are the
unlocked abilities for the combat tree:

[Combat One]:
Melee Attack 2: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 2: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 2: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 2: Decreases ranged damage taken.
Stamina 3: Increases stagger recovery rate in combat.
Strength 2, 3: Determines inventory limit and influences both social and
active combat.

[Combat Two]:
Giant Slayer: Halves penalty for fighting characters with more combat focus
investment.

[Combat Three]:
Melee Attack 3: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 3: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 3: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 3: Decreases ranged damage taken.

[Combat Four]:

Melee Attack 4: Increases melee damage.
Melee Defense 4: Decreases melee damage taken.
Ranged Attack 4: Increases ranged damage.
Ranged Defense 4: Decreases ranged damage taken.
Stamina 4: Increases stagger recovery rate in combat.

Ranged weapons do 100% damage if within 15 units of their optimal range.
Ranged weapons do 66% damage between 16-40 units away from optimal range.
Ranged weapons do 66% damage and have a 50% chance to miss if further than 40
units away from optimal range.
Ranged weapons do 150% damage if hitting at exactly optimal range.

Anything beyond 120 distance is always counted as not within the 100% damage
zone.

Ranged attacks do 40% less damage in a round after being hit by melee.
+ or – affects from specials.

Armored and undead PCs generally cannot take more than 25% max HP + 20 defense
per round. Damage in excess of that will be turned into stagger instead at a
rate of 3 to 1.

Shifters do not benefit from these defenses, but bypass them when attacking
others.

Syntax: combine

a bit like this:

Syntax: Commands

Typing commands will show you a list of all the commands in
the game.

Apart from the IC methods listed in help roleplaying there are several
forms of communication in game.

Notes is one such method and allows leaving of messages, either ICly or
OOCly to one or more people, see help note.

There is also the newbie channel. Newbie is used for helping new
characters. Used by newbie (message) or (channel) social (social) or
(channel) emote (emote)

Aid can be used to send an OOC message similar to a tell to new players to
help them out.

The STalk channel can be used by SRs to talk amongst themselves, and also by
players to contact the SRs. Players will not be able to see STalk, so respond
to them directly with tells.

Typing the channel name by itself will also turn the channels on or off.

Immortals may send players private tells, and Story Runners may send them
private STells. In both cases reply can be used to respond.

Players may contact the staff by creating a petition, see help petition for
more information.

Syntax: compact

Compact helps set your display options for the game. Typing
compact removes the extra blank line before your prompt. Typing compact again
undoes this change.

Syntax: compete against (person) with (stat) and (stat) and (stat)

This command allows you to test your stats against someone else’s, up to
three at a time.

For instance if you wished to arm wrestle with someone, use ‘compete against
(person)
with strength’.

This would test your strength against theirs, or for a game of darts you might
enter ‘compete against (person) with games and dexterity’.

On completion of the command it will send an echo to the room of who won.

Normally the winner will always be the person with the highest stat total,
if the stat totals are equal it will be a fifty/fifty chance. However
this may change based on the inclusion of certain stats.

Currently games is the only stat which deviates from this, when adding
games as one of the stats tested it will always introduce an element of
randomness to the calculation while still significantly favoring the
person with higher stats.

For each 1 point below the other person you are in a game calculation, your
chance of winning will lower by a multiplicative 20%. So if stat levels
are the same you’ll have 50% chance, if you’re one lower 40%, if 2 lower
32% etc.

As optional syntax you can also drop the ‘against’ and simply type compete
(person) with (stats)

Muscle
-Every contact assigned to this job will provide you with an ally to use in
combat. Use make ally to configure your ally, then use an attack with the
asummon special to make them arrive in combat. Allies usually take 4 rounds
to show up. You can use command allies attack/follow/atwill (target) to
command them in fights. Allies do less damage if the person who summoned
them has used their attack that round. The power of allies is determined by
the average score of all contacts assigned to the muscle job. Each ally has
60k experience, times the number of skillpoints invested into the muscle
contact in experience to spend. So 60k at rank 1, 180k at rank 2 and 900,
000 at rank 5. When an ally is defeated in combat they become injured and
the contact is unable to be used again for about three days.
It takes 20 minutes after a fight for your allies to refresh.

Contacts without names or descriptions will not function.

Haven is fundamentally a non-consent game, other players do not need your permission or your interest to do things in game which have an effect on your character, that could include doing violence to your character, imprisoning them or even killing them. You have no right to control what others do just because it impacts your character and attempts to influence others to alter their character’s behavior is likely to be a violation of the rules.

However there are certain categories of content that are considered especially sensitive or abusable, this content are locked out of the regular game and you will only be able to introduce them into the story if all people in the current scene have opted into them being included via the ‘make warning’ system. All players also have the ability to revoke their consent for this content at any time and that must be respected. Some grace is given if someone suddenly opts-out of something to allow you to smoothly transition out of it.

Content being restricted means it is restricted in all ways and in all venues, it means your character cannot do that thing, but also cannot discuss it or show pictures of it etc.

If your character has been in some RP that involved restricted content and is now in a scene without those warnings active when someone questions them about it it’s up to you to be sufficiently vague to avoid introducing the restricted content.

If you play the game without turning on any warnings at all it is designed to function as the sort of show that could be seen on network television, think Supernatural, or The Vampire Diaries. If in doubt you should consider if what you’re doing likely would show up in the plotline of a story like thaat.

To reiterate:
You have no right at all to prevent any roleplaying or IC actions that are not restricted and it is likely against the rules for you to try.
You have the absolute right to not encounter any material that is restricted that you do not want to no matter the circumstances.

`3Gray Areas:
Often the line between when something trips over into being restricted could be unclear, or somewhat subjective, also sometimes people make mistakes because they get carried away writing etc. How staff judge these cases is based mostly on what it seems like the intent of the person involved in. If the intent seems bad, that is that someone seems to be trying to grief or trigger or upset someone and are just trying to walk as close to the line as possible then we’ll interpret that case in the strictest possible way. If on the other hand it seems like someone was just trying to write and enable others fun and accidentally slipped then we will interpret that in the most generous possible way.

`3The Restricted content types are:
Sex/Nudity: Exposed genital and/or common, consensual sex acts. Does not include incidental/accidental nudity.
Immoral Sex: Engaging in sex acts that are lower-level criminal offences, e.g. nonconsensual touching. Or things people might find morally objectionable such as large age gaps, sex where consent is questionably obtained, sex with an employer etc.
Illegal Sex: Severe sexual violations and forcible sexual assault, including acts that would constitute serious criminal offences.
Sexualized Insults: Verbal attacks on someone’s sexual behaviour, worth or gender validity. E.g. slut, creep, sissy.
Addiction/Self-Harm: Use of drugs or other addictive substances which is clearly detrimental to the user’s health and other forms of self-harm and/or suicide.
Harming Animals: Killing pets, torturing animals, exposing people to content of animals in pain or distress.
Harming Children: Crimes or other poor treatment of children.
Nauseating: Things people are likely to find gross or nauseating such as bodily fluids, throwing up, spoilt food, bad odors etc.
Body Horror: Mutilations, medical procedures and other physical transformations or modifications that people may find disturbing.
Degradation: Attempts to attack someone’s pride/dignity or others’ respect for them by subjecting them to seriously demeaning or degrading treatment.
Intolerance: Asserting that some IRL groups are worse than others or have some essentialized inferiority/corruption. Use of slurs, i.e. words to describe an IRL group which have no purpose beyond being an insulting alternative to other more normal or technical terms.

Negative Tier Modifier

Removable: Yes.

This modifier represents some sort of permanent or semi-permanent curse that
weakens your character and renders them less effective. While each have
their own quirks the most common effects are similar to that of chronic
fatigue syndrome. Those suffering under such curses are additionally more
vulnerable to negative magic of all other times, and all magical debuffs and
offensive rituals against them are more powerful.

Syntax: Curseobject (object) (body/mind) (imprint)

This command can only be performed in an arcane workshop and costs up
to three hundred dollars. Arcane focus and dark magic focus reduces

the cost.
A body cursed object will create the imprint ‘Your body (message)’ when
worn, a mind one the imprint ‘You need to (message)’

These last until the object is removed.

Those with occult knowledge of at least 4 can identify if an object is
cursed, but only if they have it in their possession.

Cursed objects will only apply their effects if worn willingly, and not
forced onto someone. If a cursed object is force removed from someone it will
cause the effect to linger for an extremely long time afterwards regardless.

Syntax: curtains (direction)

Syntax: myattacks delete (custom name)

with the following syntaxes:

myattacks rename (name) (newname)
myattacks discipline (name) (discipline)
myattacks special (name) (special)
myattacks myself (name) (message)
myattacks target (name) (message)
myattacks bystanders (name) (message)
myattacks myselfdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks targetdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks bystandersdelayed (name) (message)

When you want to refer to other people in the strings, you can use the
following keys.

$N – target’s name $n – your name.
$M – target’s him/her $m – your him/her.
$S – target’s his/hers $s – your his/her.
$E – target’s he/she $e – your he/she

In fast combat, your attacks will always have their effect added to the
end, such as ‘mildly wounds him’ or ‘deflects off her armor’. So it is good
to leave the end open-ended when writing the way it looks for the sections
of myself, target, bystanders, etc, by using words like this, that, which,
‘the attack’, etc.

Requirements: At least 1750 community credits, no other custom disciplines, supernatural.

Enters the object editor.

Syntax: customize (object) (field) (value)
Possible fields are: cover, zips, shortstring, longstring, names, wear,
description, extra, layer, symbol, cost, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar,
relic, playlist, aura, skilllist.

Symbol, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar, relic, and
playlist take no values.

An explanation of fields follows:

Cover: Toggles cover location. A cover location is any area which the object
should normally cover when worn.

Zips: Toggles a zip’s location. A zip’s location is any area which is revealed
when the zip command is used.

Shortstring: Sets the phrase used to describe an object is manipulated such as
with the wear, remove, drop, or get commands. This is also the string used
for the stash command as well.

Names: Sets the keywords used to interact with the object. Each space in a
names value will indicate the start of a new keyword.

outfit
is displayed.

displayed when an object is looked at directly.

Extra: Opens the editor for an object’s extra. This creates an extra with the
name specified as a value. Whenever this keyword is looked at, the blurb will
be displayed.

Layer: Sets the layer an object occupies. Objects with higher layer values
are
always worn over top of objects with lower values. This may cause objects to
obscure others beneath them depending on the cover locations of each. A zero
value will make the item wearable in any layer depending on the order in which
it is worn.

Symbol: Attaches the symbol of the character’s society to the object. Wearing
an object with a symbol allows a character to earn respect while he is role
playing. This also allows the sheriff’s department to create items with their
symbol on it. All symbols can be used to access the goblin market. A type of
symbol that identifies an item as a goblin key can be created by characters
without a society and with occult knowledge 1 or greater. These keys allow
access to the goblin market, but confer no additional symbol benefits.

Cost: Sets the object’s cost. An object’s cost can only increase from what it
is currently set to.

command to move.

Focus: Designates the object as a magical focus.

items.

description can make them warmer or more breathable/cooling: vented,
insulated, heated, padded, quilted, merino, thermal,
wool, fur.

Type: Melee
Max Range: 1

This discipline covers the ability of creatures to fight with

When your character is attacked while critically wounded, or succumbs
to critical wounds they will die. Death in Haven is semi-permanent, your
character will leave a corpse(Unless they’re a vampire) and be moved
to an OOC grave room where you can still do all the OOC things on the
game and contemplate your next character.

A dead character may be resurrected by the living through the use of Charon
coins. Alternatively, the dead may bargain for an undead existence as a wight.
See Help Charon and Help Bargain.

This field represents when your character was turned into a vampire, and
is of the format (year) (month) (day).

The decorate command can be used to customize a house or shop property that
you own. It is extremely versatile and has many options, but at a bare minimum
rooms should feature a name and description.

Syntax: decorate (argument) [additional modifier]

The arguments for decorate are as follows:

[Description Commands]:
Decorate name (string)

Decorate extra (string)
Enters an editor to write the description of an extra detail people in the
room can view when looking at any word in its name. Can be used again to edit

and roleplay experience when you do this, with the first 350k RPXP spent
returning to your account without penalty. Invested regular karma is also

Tier Five Archetype

Supernatural

This archetype represents those humans who are half human, half demon.
Normally these occur when parents make deals with demons regarding their
children, or a single woman allows herself to be inseminated with a half
demon child as part of a deal. See help demonborn lore for more general
information.

Age: Apparent age at least 20, actual age at least 100.

Physical Characteristics: Red Irises, Inhuman and monstrous appearance,
cannot go out into public uncovered without causing alarm. At least their
eyes, hands, feet, legs and torso must be covered. The exact nature of a
Demidemon’s physical monstrousness varies between individuals.

Focuses: Has up to four points to spend on focus stats at tier five.

Tier Two Archetype

Supernatural

This archetype represents humans with some God blood in them, but those who
are fairly new and inexperienced with their powers. See help demigod lore
for more information.

Minimum Age: 18

Available Negative Modifiers: Mentally Ill, Injured, Ill, Addicted.

Available Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Demonic Pact Holder,
Fleshformed.

Focuses: Has one point to spend on focus stats at tier two.

A demigod refers to anybody with divine ancestry. Demigods usually
inherit some small degree of the perfection of their parents, they tend to
be more attractive, more physically capable, more resistant to disease and
injury, to heal faster and age more slowly. They often also tend to have a
psychological predisposition towards their godly ancestor’s aspects, the
descendant of
a thunder god for instance may enjoy being out in storms.

Demigods also may be favored by their divine ancestor, who might take it upon
themselves to aid in their life or set them to tasks they wish to see
accomplished. Most, however, possess no real supernatural ability beyond
their innate remarkableness.

In ancient times, to be taken as a god’s lover was a great privilege and the
gods bestowed a gift upon those they slept with, imbuing them with health
and longevity. Some degree of this persists in their children. After
having sex with a demigod a person will heal more rapidly for about two
days, as well as not aging or becoming sick in that period. While this can
be a great gift from a demigod lover to their lover or spouse and even has
led to some demigod couples being effectively immortal, rumors persist of
those who pay highly for captured demigods to use them forcibly in order to
stay young forever.

Today demigod genes are erratic like other supernatural genes. Usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being an active demigod is astronomically small, but
it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, whether fraternal or identical, will share the trait
if one has it.

Demigods much like Faeborn, Angelborn, and Demonborn can be either latent,
passive or active.

Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive. Passives are mostly human but they have
some degree of the resistance to disease and aging and tend to be more
attractive and capable. They also have the effects of prolonging the life
of their sexual partners.

Actives are passives until around the end of puberty, usually seventeen to
nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate later in life,
although this is very rare in people not living near New Haven. As well as
the effects of passive demigods, actives may also gain other amazing
supernatural
powers.

Also Read: Help Demonborn Mechanics

The demonborn are a disparate group, while some are indeed the descendants
of human and demon couplings, these are very rare. Far more common are humans
who were affected by demonic forces while still in the womb. The result is
basically the same however, a human who is in some small part demon. The
demonborn tend to be physically stronger and hardier than most humans, also
with a much higher tolerance for heat. Many find themselves drawn to and
interested in fire as well. The demonborn are also infected with the innate
demonic sadism. They derive pleasure from the pain, discomfort or
unhappiness of others. While this isn’t enough to make all of them behave like
psychopaths, many do, while others tend to settle into some
lifestyle or profession that allows them to get their fix. They are
commonly found as dominatrixes or in pain-oriented kinky relationships, or
in professions such as the military, law enforcement, violent crime, or combat
sports.

The blood of the demonborn is a potent, mystical chemical accelerant. It
will augment any natural chemical reaction such as those of explosives. A
drop of blood into the gunpowder of a bullet can double its penetrative
power, while a glass of it can make any bomb much more deadly.

Today demonborn genes are erratic like other supernatural genes, usually
activating only once every three of four generations. The chances of any of
your direct family also being active demonborn is astronomically small, but
it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be. There’s also a
decent chance that twins, whether fraternal or identical, will share the trait
if one has it.

Demonborn much like faeborn and angelborn can be either latent, passive or
active.

Latents are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at some
point in their adult lift the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive.

Passive demonborn are mostly human, but tend to be a bit stronger and
hardier than most, have more tolerance for hot temperatures as well as
possessing innate demonic sadism and the properties of their blood.

Active demonborn are passives until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very rare in people not living near New Haven.
As well as the effects of passive demonborn, actives may also gain other
supernatural powers.

Note: Demonborns are physically entirely human in appearance.

Demonborn get a mood lift whenever someone in the room with them is
suffering. See Help suffer.

Demonborn receive additional stagger when struck with weapons augmented with
quartz.

Demonborn are naturally drawn towards things that will cause suffering. See

Positive Tier Modifier

Replaceable: No.

This modifier represents a character who’s made a deal with a demon in
return for increased power and abilities. It cannot be taken by those with
story off and any SRs you trust to advanced will be able to see you have a
demonic pact. You can use describe pact to write a description of your
demonic deal visible to any advanced trusted SRs who look you up to enable
them to emit your demonic patron. Furthermore demonic pact holds who don’t
engage in a basic level of antagonistic RP(RPing with people who have been
captured and bound) will face debuffs to their lifeforce as their patron
punishes them. Demonic pacts once made can never be broken or escaped from.

Characters with pacts are considered to be demonborn for stat restrictions
and requirements.

Requirements: Demonborn

Characters with this power receive bonuses to any attempts to hypnotize or
psychically influence someone if lust is one of the pressures chosen by
their victim.

Demons are biological weapons, fashioned a long time ago by wizards in an
attempt to win a war in another realm. They now run that world, which is
called Hell. There
are billions of demons in hell and more are regularly being made. Hell is
run by a central administration headed by a group of archdemons, believed to
number twelve. These are
unbelievably powerful sorcerer demons and are responsible for running hell
as well as creating most of the other types of demons.

Several of the upper echelons of demons, including archdemons, can influence
Earth, they have the ability to reach their magic across to affect things.
They use this power to make things worse where they can and often to improve
the life of those who agree to do their bidding on earth.

Demons of varying strengths are known to offer smaller bargains to benefit
people at the price of making them more vulnerable to dark influences, raising
their invitation level.

When they were first created demons were given a vulnerability to quartz in
order to make controlling them easier. While this ultimately failed, they
and their descendants still have this weakness today. Even powerful demons
may be incapacitated by a quartz stake through the chest and demonborn all
become weakened when struck by quartz weapons.

Syntax: deposit <amount>

Here at Haven a fully functional banking system is in use to save players
from carrying around all of their hard earned cash. The deposit command
lets you deposit money at the Sovereign Bank or at an ATM, from which it can
later be withdrawn.

————————————————————

Syntax is: describe <location>
Valid locations: self, lowerarms, upperarms, feet, lowerlegs, thighs,
groin, arse, lowerback, upperback, lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck,
hands, lowerface, forehead, hair, eyes, smell, taste, wolf
wolfchangeto, wolfchangefrom, merchangeto, merchangefrom, radioaction,
makeuplight, makeupmedium, makeupheavy

Used to describe your character.

Alt Syntax: describe replace/append (location) (new string)
This syntax allows someone to easily on the fly replace part of their
description or append to part of it. It will keep all formatting
around the original description intact, such as the number for its order and
any spaces or empty lines after it.

Taste is determined by your archetype automatically, though you may add extra
information which would primarily be impacted by your character’s dietary,
drug, and alcohol habits.

Radioaction is echoed to the room whenever you use a command such as fsay.
So for example, “$n lifts $s sleeve and speaks into the cuff.” would echo
“Jane lifts her sleeve and speaks into the cuff”.

See help descriptions

How your character looks is entirely up to you.

The intro command sets the string people see you as before they have you
remembered, for example ‘a tall man with black hair and blue eyes’. When
writing an intro it is a good idea to be a little distinctive with it, also
to avoid judgments or personality characteristics.

When used in another form such as wolf or wolfman it sets the intro for that
form.

The describe command is used to set what people see when they look at your
character with the look command.

Syntax: describe <location> Valid locations: self, hands, lowerarms,
upperarms, feet, lowerlegs, thighs, groin, arse, lowerback, upperback,
lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck, lowerface, forehead, hair, eyes,
smell, taste, wolf, wolfman, animal.

Syntax: describe order <location> number
This syntax allows you to set the order in which your described
elements appear.

Descs are displayed together without spaces or new lines unless you enter
them, individual parts of the desc will disappear when that part of your
body is concealed. You should not use .f when making a description, nor
insert line breaks unless you’re sure you want them. Descriptions will wrap
automatically.

You can also use the detail command to add more information to your
character only seen when you look at or are shown certain bodyparts.
See help detail for more information.

You can use the change command with eyecolor, haircolor or hairdye
to set your character’s genetic eye and hair color, as well as the
color of dye they’re using.

You can use describe file to make notes on your character other members of
your society can look up, and describe classified to make notes on your
character leaders of your society can look up.

This command allows a player to project his or her character’s desires. If
the target is one that’s sensitive to desires, such as angelborn characters,
he or she will feel an urge to fulfill that desire. However, this wish to
fulfill the desire is usually less strong than the originator’s desire to have
it fulfilled. Characters other than angelborn may become sensitive to
desires, such as natural humans during a domination scheme. As a general rule,
most desires should begin with a verb in order to display correctly.

Syntax: desire (degree) (desire) Or desire (person) (degree) (desire)
Valid degrees are: mild, moderate, or strong.

Example: Steve types, “desire moderate demonstrate proper use of the desire
syntax”
Result: “You slightly want to help Steve fulfil his desire to demonstrate
proper use of the desire syntax.”

Note that a period is automatically appended for you; adding one yourself will
result in a double period.

You can use wdesire to use a desire and wish command simultaneously. See Help
Wish.

Syntax: detail (location) (over/under)

This command allows you to add more detail to a body area, over details are
always seen, under details only when the area is exposed. Details do not
show up by default but only if an area is looked at or shown. You can show
people areas with show (location) (person), location being a bodyspot or
head/torso/legs/back/chest/everything.

You can look at locations with look (person) (location.) This will show all
the clothes and jewelry in that location, as well as the visible
descriptions and details.

Syntax: devour (food object)
Devour is used to eat the entirety of a food object at once.

Requirements: Rank 2 requires Blade Disciple, Gun Disciple or Tier 3.
Rank 3 requires Blade Disciple 3 or Gun Disciple 3

This stat determines how physically dexterous your character is. This impacts
things such as hand-eye coordination and agility. It is used to determine if
you can pin someone and is the primary stat checked defensively in fist fights
as well as social attacks.

Dexterity -1
Clumsier than the average person.
Dexterity 0
As dexterous as the average person.
Dexterity 1
More dexterous than most people.
Dexterity 2
Amongst the most dexterous of people; martial artists and fighter pilots.
Dexterity 3
Supernaturally dexterous; catching thrown knives by the handle.

Syntax: diminish (0-100)
diminish offer (person) (0-100)
diminish accept
diminish round (1-99)
diminish longterm (1-99) (hours) visible/invisible/combatvisible

This command allows people to low their damage when fighting PCs to the
selected percentage. Using diminish 75, for instance, will make you do three
quarters damage. It has no echo to others, diminish 0 or diminish 100 will
clear it
as will logging off for a while. Using the command by itself shows what
you’re currently set at. Diminish does not affect the amount of stagger you
deal to your opponents.

This allows players to represent their characters being weaker for any RP
reason, or pulling their punches/faking weakness.

An alternate syntax allows you to offer someone a diminishment pact, with
diminish offer (person) (number). If someone accepts this you will both be
set to be diminished to the preset amount. You can diminish yourself
further if you wish, but if you try and set your diminish higher it will
cancel the pact for both people. This will also be automatically canceled
if the two people aren’t in the same room. It is useful for people who want
to engage in a coded fight, but also want to draw it out.

Using diminish round (number) will diminish only your next source of
damage and will also echo to the room that you’ve done so. It is useful
for people who want to RP some IC event causing a temporary weakness
in their fighting.

Using diminish longterm will allow you to debuff your character for several
hours, or
even days or weeks. This will always echo to the room you are in and if done
with the
visible toggle will also show in your look info, if done with invisible won’t
be seen,
and if combatvisible will appear to others when you enter a fight.

Syntax: disciplines
This command will show you a list of your current trained disciplines,
their actual trained value and their adjusted effective value in brackets.

Syntax: disciplines all
This command will show you all available disciplines that can be trained.
Check the corresponding help files for more information on each one.

Syntax: disciplines cost / disciplines cost (number)
This command will show you the current cost to train any disciplines a
single additional level from where you are currently trained. If you add
a number at the end, it will tell you how much total experience is
required to raise a discipline to a particular level.

Disciplines are the stats used to determine your combat performance, and are
broken down into three categories: Melee, Ranged, and Defensive.

The combined total of all your defensive disciplines is added and multiplied
by 5 to give your overall defense value, which works similar to hit points.

Melee Disciplines can only be used when next to a target, with a distance
value of 1, and do their value in damage.

Ranged Disciplines each have a unique max range and an optimum range which
is half that. Each of the help files for the ranged disciplines lists these
but this decreases towards 0 at max range or when the target is adjacent.
values. They do the same damage as a melee discipline at optimum range,

Certain disciplines require specific weapon objects in order for them to
count as being effective. For instance, the Rifle discipline will require
a large gun object. See Also: Help Object Types

The melee disciplines of Striking and Grappling will add to your total melee
effective value. These do not stack. For instance, if you have 10 Striking
and 20 Short Blades, your effective Short Blades if you have the weapon will
be 30 Short Blades.

Only the undead can be injured this badly and continue to function. Many
types of disfigurement the undead can eventually recover from, but the
process is usually a very slow and painful one.

Syntax: display (form)

This command will display a number of fields including name, intro, who title,
and room title. It can be made to display the information for any form, but
will default to the character’s current form if no argument is used.

Requirements: Underworld Mogul 1

Far removed from the central bureaucracy of Hell’s administrative core and the
perpetual carnage of the Eternal War Fronts lies District 82, a mostly
forgotten
corner of the infernal realm where neglect has created an unexpected haven for
those who exist on the margins of demonic society. This expansive territory
centers around the vast expanse of the Black Forest, whose twisted trees grow
to impossible heights, their branches intertwining to create a canopy so dense
that in some areas, no light penetrates to the forest floor.

The district’s primary settlement, Refuge, sprawls along the forest’s eastern
edge, a haphazard collection of structures built from scavenged materials,
bone, chitin, and the hardened secretions of various hell-beasts. Originally
established as a temporary camp for deserters from the Third Legion during the
Obsidian Rebellion, the settlement has grown over centuries into a permanent
community with its own peculiar social order. Governance falls to the Council
of Necessity, comprised of representatives from the settlement’s major
factions: deserter demons and a few desperate escapees.

Deep within the Black Forest stands the Grove of Whispers, where trees with
bark like polished onyx grow in perfect circles around pools of luminescent
liquid that neither evaporates nor can be removed from its depression. These
pools serve as neutral ground for clandestine meetings and illicit trades, as
they dampen all magical surveillance and prevent violence within their
immediate vicinity, a property that many believe indicates they predate the
realm corrupting into hell.

The northwestern quadrant of District 82 hosts the Reclamation Fields, where
failed experiments in fleshforming are discarded by the other legions.
This grotesque landscape of partially formed bodies and autonomous limbs is
carefully harvested by the district’s flesh-crafters, who have developed
techniques to stabilize and repurpose these castoffs.

Beneath the surface of District 82 runs an extensive network of tunnels,
originally excavated as emergency evacuation routes during Hell’s early civil
wars but long since abandoned by official forces. These passages, known
collectively as the Undertrade, serve as both transportation system and
marketplace for goods that would be confiscated or destroyed in more regulated
areas of Hell. Access to the Undertrade is jealously guarded by the Tunnel
Wardens, a loose confederation of demons who have evolved to thrive in
perpetual darkness.

The greatest danger facing District 82 comes not from within but from periodic
“cleansing operations” launched by Hell’s central administration, typically
when a new commander rises to power and seeks to demonstrate authority by
enforcing compliance in outlying regions. These campaigns rarely penetrate
deep into the Black Forest, as the trees themselves seem to respond to
intrusion, shifting positions to confuse invaders and occasionally exhibiting
more direct defensive capabilities against larger forces.

For those seeking to escape notice in the infernal realms, District 82 offers
a harsh but viable alternative to the rigid hierarchies and constant warfare
that characterize much of Hell.

Syntax: Download (Character/Property/MyRooms)

Copies data from your character, the property they’re in if they have
permission to edit it, or all their created myrooms into a text file with a
link to download it.

Syntax: drag (target)

Used to grab a hold of a helpless or tied up target to drag them with you as
you move around.

Syntax: drain (person) (mild/severe/critical/fatal)

This command is used to forcibly remove the target’s
blood.

Syntax: Dread (degree) (thing) Or Dread (person) (degree) (thing)

This command allows a player to project things their character is dreading at
the current point in time. It will appear in the form of:
You feel (degree)ly negatively preoccupied with the prospect of (thing).

And any demonborn will see.
You (degree) want to manifest (person)’s dread of (thing).

This command represents the ability of those with demonic empathic abilities
to intuitively sense the things that will best illicit suffering in others.
Demonborn are not typically aware of the exact details of what someone is
dreading, it is not mind reading, but they can pick up the general themes and
ideas behind it.

What a player chooses for the dread command and their level does not represent
what they character most fears or dreads generally, rather whatever it is most
currently on their mind which makes it heavily influenced by the situation and
circumstances. It is also often heavily influenced by their current train of
thought, for instance someone mentions getting up early tomorrow, which makes
them think about something they have to do at work tomorrow, which makes them
start dreading being told off by their boss. This can at times be a little
confusing for a demonborn who’d have no idea why they’re starting to feel like
it’d be a good idea to put on a suit and scold this person.

Skilled demonborn interrogators work hard to try and control and influence the
train of thought of their targets in order to more usefully use this sense to
obtain valuable information or expose people’s weaknesses.

While inside the dreamscape characters do not realise that they are
dreaming, or that the world they’re in is not real. Drives, desires and
situations from the real world frequently do manifest into their dreams, but
not as something external.

For instance if you go into the dreamscape wishing to be a bird, you will
probably dream about being a bird and flying around, but you won’t be aware
that you’re not a real bird and this isn’t a real world, at least not until
you wake up. Or if you fall asleep in the bathtub, you may well end up in a
swamp or other damp locale in your dream.

Similarly, if you go into the dreamscape with the intention of delivering a
message about yourself or someone else being held captive you might dream
about being a soldier sent to deliver their commanding officer intelligence
about someone being held captive by the Nazis, or yourself be a recently
released POW.

People can sometimes use this to piece together events in real life, if
someone has a single theme of captivity running through all their dreams
when others encounter them frequently they might guess in the waking world
that that person is a captive, they might also be able to guess who they are
by other recurring themes in their dream identities. They wouldn’t of
course realise this in the dream however, since they also wouldn’t know it
was a dream until they awoke.

Characters have much sharper memories of the dreams they have in the
dreamscape after they awake, compared to normal dreams.

The creation of dreamworlds is a conscious, psychic exercise generally done
while awake or in a semi-sleeping state. Characters are aware they’ve built
a psychic realm and have consciously chosen each of its features. Characters
can while awake plan who they will be in a certain world when they fall
asleep, and focus on that desire in order to make it manifest. It
doesn’t always work; sometimes their subconscious works against their wishes
to choose a different identity for them.

The details around how someone came to be in that place in the dream world
or whatever other parts of their backstory that are difficult to explain
will be fuzzy and hard for the dreamer to recall. If a dreamer does somehow
realise they are dreaming, they will immediately wake back up.

Tier Two Archetype

Human unless takes occult focuses.

Dreamchildren are humans formed from the world of dreams. No one knows
entirely how they come into being, one day they simply exist in our
world instead of the dreams from which they originated. Dreamchilden

come from a shared dreamworld.

Dreamchildren are entirely physically human, they typically resemble
whomever they were in dreams but do not retain any inhuman
characteristics and sometimes have other minor differences.

Syntax: Dreamworld associate (number)

Extra: Dreamchild can set a custom nightmare manifestation
even if they do not have the required amount of community credits.

Minimum Age: 18

Available Negative Modifiers: Addicted, Injured, Ill, Mentally Ill.

Chemical Augmentation, Fleshformed.

Focuses: Gives one point to spend on focuses at tier two.

There are three hardcoded drug types, these are Rohypnol, Vampire Blood,
and Poison. There are also many recreational drugs, both prescription and
street. Recreational drugs send a message when taken and have the power to
inflict a temporary level one imprint.

The hardcoded drugs can be either taken by drinking them, or put into a
drink or food object. To dose a drink or meal with a drug, use pour (drug)
(drink/food)

Poison when taken will have no immediate noticeable effect. It will take
between 20-30 minutes to affect a normal person, about double that for a
supernatural. Vampires are immune to poison. When the effect kicks in the
victim will be wounded and weakened, regeneration will not help them heal
this wound. If someone logs off before the poison has kicked in, it will
kick in when they next log on.

Rohypnol when taken will have no noticeable or immediate effect. It will
take 20-30 minutes to effect a normal person, about double that for a
supernatural or three times for a vampire. When the effect kicks in the
victim will pass out, rendering them helpless and able to be tied up,
dragged around etc. If someone logs off before the drug kicks in they will
pass out then, disconnected but with their character remaining in the game
in the same way as if they’d been abducted. You can use the tuckin command
to send a character in this state off the game.

by characters in the dark.

Eidolon is the term for a variety of different spiritual entities which draw
their power from belief, sacrifice, and the arcane and work in and through the
world.

Origins:
Eidolons have multiple possible origins, some are created by Fae, Gods or even
powerful magical users to serve them or their interests. Sometimes Eidolons
are created by accident when a large magical working is undertaken. Some are
born from local belief and dreams and some used to be people who have
transformed themselves into an Eidolon, usually as part of a quest to
eventually ascend into godhood or a similar level of power.

Powers:
Eidolons have limited direct power but have significant ability to work
through other agents. They can generally control animals, weather and
machinery but their main strength is working through human agents. Eidolons
have significant powers to influence and manipulate people as well as the
ability to grant them great powers and boons to enhance them. They can also
often possess people, even frequently against their will and this is their
only real way of experiencing the physical world. It is common for Eidolons to
possess people and then encourage or manipulate them into doing exciting or
interesting things for the Eidolon to experience. This often includes
extremely dangerous activities and even often fatal ones so the Eidilon can
enjoy the sensation of death before moving on.
Eidolons can create and/or control more minor spirits and ghosts and often use
them as their agents to spread their goals and progress their interests.

Eidolons do not have their own source of power, they need to draw on
supernatural power from other sources. Sacrifices, either of life or blood
help them gain power, so does power channeled through belief, worship and
other sacrifice but the most reliable source of power is arcane objects. The
valuable resources that supernatural societies hold in their vaults often
serve as some of the best sources of power for Eidolons.

Types:
There are no specific rules on what an Eidolon can be, but there are several
broad types into which they tend to fall.

Fae:
Common origins for Fae Eidolons is that they begin as some sort of spirit of
mischief that achieves a higher level of sentience and power or that they are
created by a true Fae to serve their interests or goals and grow from there.

Divine:
Divine Eidolons are usually created by a God to be some sort of servant or
further their interests. They usually are aspected in a way very similar to
the God that created them, such that Eidolons created by a war god are often
heavily focused on war and warlike activities. Some gods support their
Eidolons ascending and even want them to become a lower ranked god in their
divine court but often the Eidolon resents their divine master and are trying
to ascend behind their back and/or as a way to break away from their court and
control. These can often be particularly complex entities since they both
resent a particular god while still being made in their image.

Demonic:
Demonic Eidolons are almost always created by demons as a way to influence
Earth in a way they generally cannot do while being locked in hell. Its also
common for demonic Eidolons to be humans who have been transformed as part of
some deal or pact, either done to them or something they have sought out
themselves in a quest for power and immortality. Demonic Eidolons almost
always have the same innate desire for suffering as other demons do.

The behaviour of demonic Eidolons is usually typified by the demonic interest
in suffering, they tend to use their followers to try and create and promote
suffering and rarely can help themselves from also forcing suffering upon
their followers. This is often their greatest weakness as they try and walk
the line between maximizing the suffering and not driving people away.

Ghost:
Ghostly Eidolons are ghosts who have been able to obtain enough followers or
power after their death to ascend into something more powerful. They are as
varied as the humans who died to become them but often are fixated on the
circumstances of their death and any injustices they suffered or other grudges
they had while alive.

They often try to use their followers to carry on any missions or grudges they
had in life, wanting them to attack the descendants of their enemies or embody
the lifestyle or culture they used to have.

Cthulian:
Cthulian Eidolons come from the void and almost nothing is known about their
origin. It is suspected that at least some of them used to be human however.
Cthulian Eidolons often ascend into either powerful monstrous forms or
ethereal entities but either way they always seem to disappear from the world
shortly afterwards, presumably returning to the void for unknown reasons.

Cthulian Eidolons goals are quite alien and difficult for people to
understand, they are often unspeakably cruel but do not seem to enjoy it in
the same way as demons and often have their followers do things which make no
sense at all to the members of the cult. Hunger is the only common theme among
Cthulian Eidolons and they often will possess a human while they are feasting
or become fixating on people consuming unusual things such as drinking blood
or engaging in cannibalism.

Primal:
Primal Eidolons are usually formed from the worship of Nature or when a
particularly remarkable and unusual animal dies but some are also human
shamans or nature worshippers who are using it as a way to ascend.

Their interests vary depending on the origin of the spirit, those which are
evolved natural spirits are often deeply focused on preserving and growing the
natural world, fighting against industrialization and civilization. Those who
come from animal origins have goals which are heavily influenced by the type
of animal they are, predators encourage their followers to engage in more
predation and may enjoy possessing people while hunting. Pack animals have
cults which are more communal while other animals might be more contemplative
or playful.

Descending into El Dorado requires moving through tunnels carved with warnings
in colonial Spanish and other, older and forgotten languages. El Dorado’s
famous golden structures, though tarnished by centuries of neglect, still
catch and amplify what little light reaches them, creating pockets of amber
radiance amid the gloom.

The central temple, a stepped pyramid whose dimensions precisely match those
of certain constellations, dominates the cityscape. Its golden surfaces have
developed a strange patina that shifts colors depending on the viewer’s angle
of approach, sometimes appearing greenish-black, other times taking on a deep
crimson hue. The temple’s interior chambers remain largely intact, though the
weight of the earth above has caused several lower levels to collapse into one
another, creating a treacherous labyrinth of broken walls and collapsed
flooring.

Surrounding the temple complex stretches the Garden of Offerings, where
hundreds of stone altars stand in concentric circles. Each altar bears unique
carvings depicting transformation rituals, human figures morphing into
jaguars, eagles, or stranger creatures not found in any zoological text. The
ground between these altars is littered with fragments of ceremonial masks,
their expressions frozen in states of ecstasy or agony. Delvers report that
these mask fragments occasionally assemble themselves into temporary wholes
when no one is directly observing them.

The artificial lakes once used for ceremonial purposes have long since
stagnated, becoming thick with an oily substance that exhibits unusual
properties. Objects submerged in these waters emerge coated in a metallic film
that gradually hardens into something resembling gold. More disturbingly,
living tissue exposed to the liquid experiences accelerated but unpredictable
growth, a discovery made at great cost by early exploration teams.

The streets of the buried city are still somehow stalked by dangerous jungle
predators, and living in pockets throughout the city are twisted beast-men who
dine on human flesh and seem to have lost all language and higher thinking
long ago.
While the ghosts of those who were sacrificed mingle with remnant spirits once
conjured to drive the Spanish from their country.

This ability confers near immunity to electricity and lightning. Currents
will simply pass over their skin. It conveys immunity to some abilities but
is primarily a RP stat. This does not help against shadow lightning.

Requirements: Gun Disciple 3, Scientifically Augmented, or Tier 4 Demonborn.

This ability allows you to communicate with electronic devices psychically,
it requires you to be able to see.

Syntax: Teletext (number) (message)/telesay (message)/telessay

This stat represents those who’ve studied elemental magics. In addition to the
standard arcane focus bonuses, it grants either cryomancy or pyromancy,
allowing the arcanist to wield the elements against their enemies in battle.
At higher ranks it also grants access to resistances that allow the
practitioner to shrug off elemental forces and attacks that would cow lesser
individuals. At max rank it allows the learning of Dual Aspects, allowing the
arcanist to master both fire and ice.

[Elemental Magic One]:

Tier Two Archetype

Human unless takes occult focuses.

Elseborn are humans who are people from other worlds and dimensions
who one day find themselves in our world in a human body with no
real idea of how they got here.

Elseborn are entirely physically human, they typically resemble
whomever they were in the other world but do not retain any inhuman
characteristics.

(Do not use elseborn to play someone else’s character unless you have
their permission.)

Minimum Age: 18

Available Negative Modifiers: Addicted, Injured, Ill, Mentally Ill.

Available Positive Modifiers: Relic Holder, Demonic Pact holder,
Chemical Augmentation, Fleshformed.

Focuses: Gives one point to spend on focuses at tier two.

Syntax: Emit (text)
A type of emote that will not include your name, usable while SRing.

Syntax: emote (string)
This is the basic emoting syntax. Unless otherwise specified, the emote
will start with your short desc or whatever others have you remembered by.

See help emoting for more information.

Emote combat usually occurs when two or more PCs begin a spar.

The turn in which participants will be allowed to act initially favours the
target of the attack, but is also
affected by the Fast Reflexes skill, those with higher fast reflexes being
more
likely to get to act earlier in the rotation.

When it is your turn you will have two minutes to input your attacks and moves
or you forfeit your turn, this is done just like in fast combat with the
attack
and move commands. You can still use myattacks to
attach
special effects to your attacks, but you won’t use the message associated with
that attack. See also Help Myattacks.

Once you have input your commands you have five minutes to write an emote to
describe what your character is doing in that turn, how they are moving and
attacking. This is done with the emote command just like in regular RP. Once
the
emote is finished and sent the code will be processed and it will move to the
next person’s turn.

Syntax: emote (string)
This is the basic emoting syntax. Unless otherwise specified, the emote
will start with your short desc or whatever others have you remembered by.
There is a character limit, but it is fairly long. If you are used to emoting
in very long paragraphs, split them up with separate emotes.

Syntax: subtle (string)
A subtle emote is the same as a regular emote, except that it can only be
seen by someone who has joined the same place as you. If you have not
joined a place, a subtle emote will show to anyone who similarly has not.
Places will be marked as such in a room description.

Syntax: private (person) (string)
A private emote is a regular emote that can only be seen by the person you
send it to. You cannot use dialogue in a private emote. A private emote that
has not been properly targeted will show as a subtle emote.

Syntax: announce (message)
This is a form of emote that goes to everyone in the room
even when the room is crowded. Regular emotes do not go to
the whole room in crowded rooms but only to those at the
same place as you.

Syntax: internal (message)
This form of emote can only be seen by you and any SRs and allows
you to emote internal thoughts, feelings, memories etc.

Syntax: emit (message)
This form of emote can only be used when SRing and won’t include
your name at all.

Syntax:

Targeting:

@me: @me in an emote will force the emote not to start with your sdesc,
instead putting it wherever you place it in the paragraph. E.g.,
emote “Hello,” @me says, giving a wave.
will read as:
“Hello,” Bob says, giving a wave.
as opposed to:
emote waves and says, “Hello.”
Bob waves and says, “Hello.”

@my: In order to have your sdesc appear possessive and force the emote
to not start with it, you must use @my. E.g.,
emote Stalking down the street, @my eyes peer owlishly around.
will read as:
Stalking down the street, Bob’s eyes peer owlishly around.

@name: In order to target someone else in an emote, simply @theirname
or @introkeyword. E.g.,
emote glances curiously at @name.
will read as:
Bob glances curiously at Alice.

@name’s: In order to target someone with a possessive, do the above but add
a ‘s as @theirname’s. E.g.,
emote grabs at @name’s bag.
will read as:
Bob grabs at Alice’s bag.

Note: Emoting is not automatically capitalized or punctuated for you.

Encounters are random IC events run by storyrunners that occur in an
instanced version of New Haven.

The encounter will be launched through the lookfor system with the SR
being given a choice of two writing prompts.

The SR will then use this writing prompt to create a small RP scene for the
participants, they will earn enhanced karma for this much like they would
for running an adventure, but not as much. During the adventure they can of
course summon in new people if there’s a reason to single them out in
particular, but they can also make use of the encounter bringin command.

This command puts the encounter onto the where list with the string the SR
specifies, appearing as (string) is happening in (room) and also the name of
the SR and person first recruited. It also sends an echo to those most
likely to notice the encounter going on. From there players can use
encounter join (SR name) to join the encounter up to a maximum of five.

SRs can edit encounter rooms with the decorate command.

There is a week cooldown on running encounters.

Be advised that encounters are not private affairs; they show up on
faction/cult/society report events for society members and are logged on
Haven’s website as well.

Each rank in this skill reduces the cost of augmenting weaponry by 15% and
increases the duration of weapon augments by 5.

Life Force Costs per level of Ritualism: 1: 21%, 2: 12%, 3: 9%, 4: 6%, 5: 4%

Syntax: Ritual sacrifice Cost: 100%
Sacrifices some of the character’s apparent age to turn it into pure life
force energy. Is self targeted.

Syntax: Ritual shadowcloak (target) Cost: 25%
Applies a shadowcloak to the target, making all lights in their proximity
fail until they remove it with the shadowcloak command.

Syntax: Ritual agetheft (target) Cost: 150%
Steals some of the physical age from another and gives it to the caster.
More effective the larger an age difference there is, also much more
effective if done with the target bound helpless in the same room as the
caster. Costs twice as much life force as most rituals.

Syntax: Ritual shadowwalk (target) Cost: 25%
Sets the current room as the caster as their shadowed room, at any later
when not helpless, or restrained or otherwise preoccupied they can use the
shadowwalk (victim) command to return to that room, bringing with
them anyone they are dragging or carrying.

Syntax: Ritual dreadwatcher (target) Cost: 50%
Sets the target to temporarily have demonic empathy, receiving suffers and
dreads.

Requirements: Socialite Focus 1

Syntax: Enrapture (target) Enrapture break

Enrapture is a mystical power that makes a person fall in love with the
user. The victim must be helpless for the command to work. It is one of the
most powerful forms of enslavement there is.
The victim will believe themselves head over heels in love with the user and
willing to do almost anything to make them happy. It can only be used on
one person at a time. When the effect wears off the victim will realize
they were manipulated, but will believe their actions were less out of
character than they truly were.

Syntax: Enthrall (target)
Enthrall break

Enthralling is a power that can only be used on helpless
targets. When used it places the target entirely in your thrall, they will
have to obey any order given to them. It can be broken with enthrall break,
and breaks automatically if the master dies.

Somewhat uniquely for mind control, an enthralled target is aware they’re
enthralled and may not wish to follow their orders, but is compelled to
anyway. A great exertion of will is only able to delay following an order by a
second.

Enthralled targets are compelled to obey what they believe their master
meant, not the literal words of an order, and so can’t try to loophole
things semantically.

An enthralled target will see ‘Your master’ in the look info of their master
generally and will see memory cloaked masters as ‘Your master’ instead of
their normal nondescript intro. A character can only have one person
enthralled at a time.

If a character dies while enthralled, their master also dies.
This effect lasts for a few hours to a day or two past when
the bond ends, or much longer if the enthralled person is badly injured.

Requirement: Strength 3+
and : Demigod Warrior 1 or Demon Warrior 1

This power doubles your effective strength, allowing it to go beyond 5. It
also imposes additional stagger on anyone you strike in melee combat.

Syntax: equipment
Will show all your characters currently worn or held items.

Syntax: Escape

The escape command can be used in various ways to get out of current
situations.

If you are pinned you can use escape to try and break free.

If you are tied up you can use escape to start the process of getting free of
your bindings.

If you are not tied up you can use escape to start the process of
escaping the current room or area you are in.

If you are in a raid and are the carrier you can use escape to advance the
raid to the next spawn wave.

If you are fabled character who has been kidnapped by a monster you can use
‘escape’ by itself after enough time has passed to escape back to New Haven.

If you are a monster you can use ‘escape kidnap (target)’ or ‘escape nokidnap
(target)’ to leave the city either kidnapping a fabled character to take with
you at the same time or not doing so.

If you have been captured by the Wild Hunt you can use ‘escape ethically’ or
‘escape unethically’ to escape the fae and get back to New Haven. If you escape
ethically you will not be able to tier up again for 2.5 months. If you escape
unethically you will not be able to tier up again for about a month, but your
minimum moral tier will also be increased.

If you are in the fae for at least 2.5 months before escaping you will return
to newbie school with the option to significantly change your character
as a result of fatecrafting.

Syntax: examine <container>
Syntax: examine <corpse>

Examine is short for ‘Look container’ followed by ‘Look
in container’ which will show the name of the container and
what is in it. The same holds true for examine corpse, since
a corpse is basically a container.

When used without an argument examine will show you details of the current
room, such as decor, toughness and security levels.

Syntax: execute (target)
Kills a helpless target.

As soon as the command is entered, if the victim is helpless, they will be
killed. Costs political capital against most targets.

Experience is gained every time you engage in combat, and is determined
per blow based on how much damage you do to the enemy and how strong that
enemy is. The most reliable way to get more combat experience is to go out
into the outer streets and find monsters to battle, but this can also be very
dangerous. Sparring with other players offers a safer way to earn combat
experience, but there’s a daily cap on how much can be gained this way. You
can also convert influence into combat experience if you have excess,
although the rate isn’t that high. Lastly you can go on adventures and
convert your adventure experience into combat experience.

Experience is used to increase your disciplines, and you can spend up to
maximum of a million combat experience on any given character, karma can be
used to increase this cap.

Syntax: expose <body location> or expose <item>
unexpose <body location> or unexpose <item>

This command allows you to expose certain items or body locations that
wouldn’t otherwise be visible, it’s useful when RPing lifting a shirt or
rolling up a sleeve etc.

Positive Tier Modifier

Replaceable: Yes.

Some vampires, particularly newer ones can increase their power by glutting
themselves on human blood. Specifically by finding humans to drain
completely until dead in a process called exsanguination. This modifier
represents those vampires who make use of this to increase their strength or
power. They must use the exsanguinate command, to find and kill an NPC. Those
with this
modifier who haven’t exsanguinated anyone in two months will face serious
life force penalties.

Syntax: exterminate (target)

This requires rank one in medicine, and must be used in a medical lab.
This will kill any parasites that might be in the target.

decorate extra or myrooms extra can be used to write an extra detail people in
the room can view when looking at any word in its name. In addition, it can be
used to add special descriptions shown beneath the usual room description to
people with matching powers.

The special keywords for decorate extra are as follows:

dark will show to characters with the Night Vision power.
Example: “decorate extra dark” will put you in an editor to write a
description for those with night vision.

acutehearing will show to characters with the Acute Hearing power.
Example: “decorate extra acutehearing” will put you in an editor to write a
description for those with acute hearing.

acutesmell will show to characters with the Acute Smell power.
Example: “decorate extra acutesmell” will put you in an editor to write a
description for those with acute smell.

acutesight will show to characters with the Acute Sight power.
Example: “decorate extra acutesight” will put you in an editor to write a
description for those with acute sight.

Known Issue: In some cases, a room’s extras may be filled with junk extras
while editing them. In most cases this should automatically be cleaned after a
few days by the game, if this does not happen, writing a petition from within
that room can help to get them removed by staff.

This represents the natural genetic eye color of your character.
Possible options are, amber, blue, brown, gray, green and hazel. Some
archetypes can additionally select red, golden or silver.

Requirements : None

Fabled characters are those chosen by the higher powers in the world, such as
gods and fae to have an ‘interesting’ life the better to entertain those
powers who watch mortals for their entertainment.

This stat cannot be negtrained once it has been taken. You can not play
another fabled character for six months after creating one.

Someone being fabled is visible in their aura to others.

Part of being fabled is the character can never realize this about themselves
and will always rationalize away the unusual aspects of their life.

Fabled characters are always monogamous, it’s unclear if only monogamous
people are chosen or if the magical effect changes them to be so.

They have a mild lifeforce debuff when single, and any time they have sex
outside of a monogamous relationship they are karmically punished.

Someone dating a fabled character receives a mild life force buff when the
fabled character is online unless they have recently slept with someone other
than the fabled character.

All relationships with a fabled character end tragically after 2-4 months,
generally through some sort of curse that makes it impossible for the characters
to be together any more.

Roleplaying with a fabled character slightly reduces the time until you can
make a monster guest.

If a fabled character roleplays with a guest monster for a while, the guest
monster will be able to peacefully leave the city, with the option to either leave
alone or kidnap the fabled character offgrid with them where they’ll be stuck for a
week.

If a fabled character is brought bound to a guest monster they can also choose
to kidnap them and leave the city.

At the start of conflict fabled characters get a random + 25% to -25% boost to
their combat effectiveness.

Fabled characters will randomly generate mini-quests with other characters
they interact with.
A demonborn may get a particularly strong desire to make the fabled character
suffer and will get a bonus if they do so.
A vampire may get a particularly strong urge to bite a fabled character and
get a bonus if they do so.
Another character may come into possession of a random item which can only be
contributed by the fabled character, requiring them to find the person and obtain
it from them.
Or alternatively the fabled character may come into possession of an object
that can only be contributed by some other character, and that other character will
know the direction of the fabled character until they obtain the item.

All these quests increase the invitation level of the fabled character for
the other
PC.

Requirements: Illusory Magic 2

Syntax: facesteal (target)

This is a psychic trick that allows someone to seem like another person.
Mechanically, people will see you as whatever they have the target remembered
as, but you will still seem like yourself if directly looked at.

It should be targeted on someone in the same room as you, or in a nearby room
you’re facing; use look (direction) to set where you’re facing.

Factions are societies which are one of the three large pre-established
organizations that operate in the supernatural world.

These groups are The Hand, The Order and The Temple.

You can use fsay command to talk to people in your faction.

You need Occult Knowledge of at least two to know this information.

Similarly to the gods, the lords of the Fae were once humans who became
extremely accomplished in fleshforming. Unlike the gods however, they
had no interest in power, leadership or responsibility. Rather, they were
hedonists who used their power only for their own pleasure, rendering
themselves immortal but not entirely unkillable. They created
their own realm very early on. The Other is a world that is forever caught up
in a never-ending party. Over the centuries however, increasing boredom has
led to
entertainment becoming more and more extreme and the lords of the Fae have
long since lost any sort of human empathy. Entertainments vary from simple
stories and dance to brutal life or death contests and recreational torture.

The Fae sometimes journey into the human world, taking on any form they
choose when they do so, male, female, or animal. Sometimes they do this in
order to capture people to bring back with them to serve in the Fae world
forever. Those chosen in this way may end up simple entertainers, or
fighting for their life against brutal and monstrous creations. Almost no
one ever escapes from the Otherafter they’ve been captured, and those that
do are rarely the same.

Sometimes they journey out in order to play pranks on the humans, as a sort
of vacation. These pranks also are very variable, some are incredibly mild,
and may even end up helping their target, such as arranging things so that a
homeless bum becomes a millionaire overnight. Others can be incredibly
cruel. The Fae are masters of manipulating fate, having given themselves a
natural ability to do so, an elusive magic that can intelligently manipulate
a thousand small variables to bring about a desired result, seemingly simply
as a result of luck.

Every now and then, a Fae will sleep with a human. This is rarely done for
simple pleasure however, and never for anything as trite as love. It is
almost always part of some prank, such as sleeping with a man in the form of
his
wife while she is stuck in traffic and watching the ensuing argument, or
impregnating a young religious girl and wiping from her mind the sexual
encounters so she has no explanation for her pregnancy for her parents. The
chance of impregnation is low, about one tenth the chance of a human
impregnating another but can happen. These offspring are called fae children
and their descendants
are called faeborn.

Fae are unnaturally sensitive to magnetic fields and can even be kept weak
and near incapacitated by those that are powerful enough. Even their
descendants show some signs of this vulnerability, being made slightly dizzy
by strong fields and when struck with ferromagnetic weapons.

Also Read: Help Faeborn Mechanics

The faeborn are those with Fae in their family line. These fae genes activate
erratically, usually for one child in every three or four generations. The
chances of any of your direct family being active faeborn is astronomically
small, but it is possible for a grandparent or great grandparent to be.
There’s also a decent chance that twins, either fraternal or identical will
share the trait if one has it.

Faeborn tend to be smaller in stature than most humans, and have more
delicate, elfin features. They also tend to have a greater
predisposition towards mischief and often a bit less empathy for others
compared to most people. The faeborn tend to attract extremes in luck,
being far more likely to for instance win the lottery, but also more likely
to be wrongfully imprisoned. The faeborn’s natural uncontrolled influence
on fate can sometimes be harnessed. If a faeborn is captured and held
prisoner by any person in any way, that person will benefit from greatly
improved luck for the duration of the captivity. The faeborn also won’t
attract the same extremes in luck they normally would while held captive.
There are three basic types of faeborn: latent, active and passive.

Latent Faeborn are effectively entirely human, but there is a chance that at
some point in their adult life the latent genes will activate and they will
become either active or passive faeborn.

Passive Faeborn are almost entirely human, but they have the appearance of
faeborn attract the same extremes in luck and have a special type of blood
that’s used in certain rituals.

Active Faeborn are passives usually until around the end of puberty, usually
seventeen to nineteen, when they activate. They also sometimes activate
later in life, although this is very, very rare in people not living near New
Haven. As well as the effects of passive faeborn, the Actives often manifest
amazing and varied powers, such as gaining supernatural
strength, magical abilities or shape shifting skills.

Note: Faeborn are physically entirely human in appearance.

be customized into other clothing items. In lore, faecloth can have any

Faecloth doesn’t cost a dye to color but does cost a little favor every
time it is edited.

commands ‘clothemote’ or ‘clothprivate’ to control their faecloth item and

expensive than
those they typically wear.

Fast combat occurs any time there are NPCs involved in the fight except when
the NPCs are controlled by a SR.

In fast combat each time you use the attack command it creates a 12 second
delay before you can use it again, attempting to do so will put the command
into a buffer, where it will then automatically be used when the timer
expires.

Move is on its own 12 second timer which works in the same way with its own
buffer.

You can type autofire, to set a toggle which will make you
automatically repeat your last attack when available as long as it
was successful.

Syntax: coinflip (text) or (text)
Syntax: luck (text) or (text)

Those with fae blood have the ability to manipulate the vagaries of fate, if a
room is tagged with [Fate] you can use either the coinflip or luck command to
represent this.

Coinflip is used when a character is torn between two choices and random
chance can determine which option they choose, only the faeborn and the
character using the command will see the result of the command which will
appear in the form of (Coinflip) (person) will (text).

Luck is used to represent random chance and how it affects a given character.
The chosen option will be shown to everyone in the room in the form of
((name)’s luck) (text).

Normally with luck one of the options will be the character having good luck
and one of them having bad luck but this doesn’t have to always be true. You
are allowed to involve more of the world in the use of the luck command than
in normal emotes, puppeting NPCs or other world elements in more significant
ways as long as luck is the driving force. e.g. Someone’s bad luck could have
them run into a mean parking cop, but not have a parking cop decide to
specifically target them.

A faeborn’s control over their manipulation of fate is not always conscious,
some have honed this ability and can deliberately control it but others may
influence luck based on their subconscious impulses or based on their concept.
For instance, some faeborn may always be bad luck when they are around or good
luck in the morning and bad luck in the evening etc.

Syntax: Brainwash fatecraft (target) (new fate)
Will appear to the target as “Your past has been altered: (new fate)”.
Brainwash fatecraft takes 100 favor and requires either invite level 6 or
the victim to allow it.

Fatecrafting is a type of magic which allows the altering of the past, but
only for a specific individual. It could be used to change someone’s past so
they were an orphan, or were born in a different country, or never got married
etc. After this that person exists as if they were snatched from an alternate
reality where that was true. They may have memories and the like that never
occurred for anyone else.

Fae, Gods and other similar powers can Fatecraft someone’s whole body.
They could cause someone to be born as a different archetype or have been
assaulted and left with a scar in their past and the person will now be
that archetype or have that scar.

Others can only do psychological fatecrafting, changing someone’s mind and
memories but not their body. It can also be removed with brainwash reversal.
