Overview

Characters may take Flaws as optional, opt-in penalties to make the game more challenging and interesting, or acquire them by other means. Flaws are not Effects and cannot be affected by any in-game mechanics. If you no longer wish to roleplay a Flaw, it may be removed between events. Thematically speaking, this represents your character receiving medical attention or otherwise taking action to correct the flaw while aboard the Fenris.

Flaws may also be applied to flash-cloned vikings upon re-entering game. Flaws acquired in this way can only be removed with Staff approval.

List of Flaws (Fractures)

Uncorrectable Nearsightedness

You may only deliver Effects with a range of Melee, Self or Share.

Partial Vision Loss

You have permanently lost vision in one eye. All Effects with a delivery type of Packet, and attacks made with foam dart blasters must be delivered using your non-dominant hand.

Permanent Severance

The affected limb is considered to permanently be under a Severance Effect.

Arm or Hand: You cannot wield a weapon, carry a shield, carry resources, or use an item in that hand. You may interact with OOG items normally.

Leg or Foot: You cannot move at more than a walking pace. Please do not hop around on one leg.

Voice Module Malfunction

Occasional, intermittent, or total loss of speech or common language, due to issues with the nanites that facilitate Universal Speech.

Amnesia

You have lost some or all of your memories. Note: players should not use this Flaw as a reason to escape consequences of their actions, or as a reason to violate the central conceit of the game.

Memory Intrusion

You have somehow gained the memories of another being, causing identity confusion.

Emotional Dampening (Minor, Major)

Occasional, unpredictable hyper-aggression or hypo-aggression.

Magitek Incompatible

Cannot use magitek Effects. You may not use Cantrips or Spells, nor Abilities that produce elemental Effects. You may still be targeted by Magitek Effects normally, and you may use parts of abilities that do not produce elemental Effects (e.g., you could still use the Smash provided by Heavy Attacks but not the Elemental Spells).

Elemental Allergy

Become Courtless if not already Courtless. You cannot swear to an Elemental Court. Replace any Court Elements in your Ability usage with the Mundane element.

Low Willpower

-2 Maximum Will. You may take this Detriment multiple times, decreasing your maximum Will to a minimum of 1 Will.

Spiritual Torment

-1 Maximum Attunement. You may take this Detriment multiple times, decreasing your Maximum Attunement to a minimum of 1 Attunement. Note: This is dangerous, as reviving from death requires Attunement!

Corporate Debt

Please review Debt if you want to take this flaw.

You owe a large sum of Silver to a corporation or other corporate entity. This flaw is subject to the following limitations:

• The debt may not exceed 500 Silver.
• The debt must be registered with Staff and will be publicly posted.
• The debt must have a time limit. After this time limit, bounty hunters will come “collect” the debt (usually by killing the indebted), after which the debt is nullified. Staff recommends one year, though other lengths of time are possible subject to approval.
• The indebted may OOG opt out of the debt at any time. In-world, this means that ULS lawyers or some other agent found a loophole in the contract to nullify the debt.
