mindflayer_jack: *Sigh* What the hell is Mancetrin? sainnflarn: Ahh, right sorry. sainnflarn: Mancetrin is the broken world. sainnflarn: A failed attempt of sentient beings to make matter out of energy. sainnflarn: Their equation became unstable do to the glitches of the universe. sainnflarn: As a result the planet is locked in perpetual matter/energy transferance. sainnflarn: The seven to thirteen head reaserchers and project developers were supposedly killed in the attempt. sainnflarn: However a few of the theorists that were based outside of the work zone were able to avoid total anihalation which allowed them to relate the story to the newcommers. sainnflarn: The planet is basically ripped open and jaged. mindflayer_jack: Lovely. sainnflarn: You have giant gaps, kind of like mountain ranges, that lead straight to the planets core, which is a mechanical construct that gathers and collapses energy. sainnflarn: There are only three stable continents and two stable oceans. sainnflarn: However the edges are debatable, as there's a high chance of getting dragged down to the core. Which is suicide. sainnflarn: However, getting near the edges can also be rewarding. mindflayer_jack: How so? sainnflarn: There are certain energy 'hot-spots', kind of like gyser pockets, throughout the planet. sainnflarn: They're leaks in the machine, part of the result created by the failure. sainnflarn: By getting close to the edges or hot-spots, you can actually alter yourself. sainnflarn: Becomming anything from a walking battery to an extension of the machine down below. sainnflarn: The hot-spots allow for stronger, more stable mutations. sainnflarn: Particularly increasing the chance of altering your DNA. sainnflarn: Edge sites allow for more selection, with more risk. sainnflarn: Particularly the conscious decision of just what you're going to have happen to you. mindflayer_jack: Hmmm... sainnflarn: The downside to this almost free-willed manipulation is that repeated visits to the site attune you to them. sainnflarn: After the first time, visiting again will increase your chance of detection by the machine and you'll be wipped clean. sainnflarn: Few make it past the second time in one spot. The ones that make it through the third are almost heros. No one makes it the fourth time. sainnflarn: The result is an association called the 'guides'. sainnflarn: The Guides are veterans of what natives call the Path. sainnflarn: Because using one site would result in your destruction, power seekers moving from site to site sainnflarn: *. sainnflarn: The Guides ensure that there is a semblance of peace and keep Mancetrin from becomming a truely formidable Hell.
