These conscientious scholars are all about first-hand evidence and testing their work. Nearly every Ordenal belongs to a COLLEGE according to their pre-Hand interests. Ordenals may belong to several Colleges in their lives as they explore disciplines and love to learn as much as they love to share their own theories. Ordenal also possess an impulse they call the FEVER. When seized by a FEVER, they can create autonomous devices and golems known as cyberatica.
WHERE THEY’RE FROM
Orden, a lush and temperate world of astonishing biodiversity. The mild climate with few natural disasters and abundant resources encourages a curious and philosophical people, often to their own detriment. Orden has been destroyed and remade again and again at the hands of unethical experimenters…and its people remember. Thus the educational emphasis on ethics and empathy.
ADVANTAGE: PROCESS TRACING
An Ordenal when faced with a problem, may enter a FEVER and construct a cyberatica which will handle the problem for them. This succeeds automatically as long as the Ordenal has at least one dot in a relevant Skill for tackling the problem. This takes several Actions to complete.
KEY QUALITIES
Curious, skeptical, empathetic, practical, enthusiastic, hyper focused
HOW THEY EXPERIENCE THE WORLD
“Did you know there are varieties of bulbfish that can inflate themselves at will to ward off predators? This rapid inflation agitates their bio luminescence, causing a blinding flash. If you can get me some rubber sheeting, the glowing blue vial from my pack – no, the other glowing blue vial – and a compression pump, I’ll bet we could scare off whatever ate Shiel and make a run for the wall…”
HEALING
No Ordenal leaves home without their comprehensive medkit. This medkit contains three injectable potions which heal someone to full. They are single use, however, and have to be replenished with a Rest. An Ordenal must be adjacent to an ally in order to give them a potion.
WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?
Ordenal tend to be made of various elements, such as fire, earth, metal, or lightning or composites of several elements. They often use themselves to power devices or locations. Studying their own physiology has led to fantastic breakthroughs in science, however going too far has led to more than a few World-ending disasters.
