TSOS- Setting Your ARCompass

Setting Your ARCompass

Most adventurers are equipped with a symbiotic device called an ARCompass.  It is often given as a gift from other adventurers. Any ARCompass can duplicate itself for a new host once a day. Many sleepers also have them and use them similarly to the way people in the material realm use handheld communicators. It is deeply physical bond, connecting to you through an appendage and your eyes. It will allow you to manage your sparkle and look up information about the people and places you interact with. As you progress and increase your magnitude your sparkle's arc will change to reflect your choices. 

ARCompass Features
  • Personal stats and readouts of your environment provided by a mentally customizable HUD or audio display that only you can access.
  • A dimensional pocket that can contain weapons or supplies with a capacity up to your weight.
  • High speed projectile force field to protect from gunfire.
  • Readouts on other's skills and abilities. Please note that some Sparkles may be able to block or alter this information for deceptive purposes.
  • Warning of known hazards in the area.
  • Maps of your local area. Unmapped/unexplored places will not have any information available.
  • Local area domain communication with others who have ARC units. These features may be bolstered or upgraded by your Sparkle.
  • News and updates from across the spiral. 
  • Access to "The Adventurers Guide to the Spiral".
Setting Your ARCompass Cues

When you first bond with your ARCompass it will ask you a set of questions. These are intended to help you set your values and goals as you go on your adventures. Your cues are the key words that help guide your actions. These are your guiding lights to help you identify how you will act and react to events in the world. You set your cues by answering binary questions:

  1. I feel Hope or I feel Gloom
  2. I do this for All or I do this for Only me
  3. I Defend from change or I Embrace change
  4. I seek Order or I seek Chaos
  5. I require Control or I require Freedom
  6. I keep truths Secret or I make truths Public
Choosing Your Power Source

Your moral and personal viewpoints colour everything you do in this new universe, from the power sources you can access for your gift, to the people you support and defend. Every decision you make has an impact on your Sparkle.
