Sleepers; Scribed


Scribed - Those touched by knowledge, Scribed see and hear knowledge all around them. Often twitchy, Scribed seek an understanding of their life, of reality itself. Artists, scientists, thinkers, philosophers.
Scribed goals include learning new things, proving things wrong or right, creating new items.

Scribed' gift is a CODEX, a book of knowledge and an aid to crafting new ideas. Different info briefs and Artefact instructions are contained at creation. These Artefacts usually have one-use plot importance or are powerful weapons. Using Memories and Hopes, the Codex can be expanded.
Scribed can use Memories to "unfurl" another Memory, turning it into a powerful vision. This is then recorded in the Codex.
Scribed can use Memories and Hopes to craft Artefacts from their instructions.
Embracing Personal Hope, the Scribed is gifted Ultimate Understanding. They can use this Understanding to become a Source of knowledge, create an ultimate Artefact, or complete their Codex.

When you create your Codex, you choose one of the following;
* Mocker's Blueprints; Your Codex specialises in Artefacts. If you ask for a Brief, it will ensure you get a Blueprint next time.
* Wolfgang's Scratchings; Your Codex gives you what it thinks you need, when it thinks you want it.
* Lisabet's Notes; Your Codex Specialises in Briefs. If you ask for a Blueprint, it will ensure you get a Brief next time.

When you create your Codex, you choose five of the following (you may pick the same ones multiple times);
* Elsie's Scrawlings; the Codex contains a Ref-picked Song that you can sing.
* Warra Warra's Travelogues; the Codex contains a brief about a Ref-picked Realm.
* Lorri's Rants; the Codex contains a brief about a piece of Dream History.
* Mackarthy's Essay; the Codex contains a brief about a Source / Pact.
* Alfie's Whistles; the Codex contains the blueprints for a Ref-picked Shard Artefact.

Example

Ideas; "The Man From The Shack", a perennial outsider and hitchhiker, dressed in his pyjamas and dressing gown. His only companions are his towel and his highly helpful book...

"Magdalena", a striking, powerful artist whose magic-realism images pour out of her sketchbook; by drawing on her canvas pages, she calls forth the spirits of the universe to aid her...
