I'd swear this had a detailed characters page. Did it get deleted for some stupid reason?
Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on one of the pages linked here underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:
- Mediator: One of the Adventures places you in this role. Specifically, you're invited to a noble court that handles disputes, and you're given the title of the "Innocence"; this is because the court's founder believed that children are untainted by the world's biases and thus are best suited to be judges. You, along with the adult judges with whom you have to share votes (though as the "Innocence", you carry a lot of sway), are asked to settle the following disputes:
- A woman (the plaintiff) is accusing her boyfriend (the defendant) of cheating on her with another woman, because she saw him walking with another woman and enjoying himself. The defendant protests his innocence; he has dated no other woman but his lover. Which one of them is telling the truth? Both, sort-of. The boyfriend was getting jealous, feeling that his lover didn't appreciate him enough, so he conjured an illusion of another woman to make his lover jealous. It just backfired horribly because instead of just getting jealous, his lover assumed he was outright cheating. Since as he himself admit this was an extremely boneheaded move on his part, you can choose to rule in the plaintiff's favor, arguing that she has every right to break up with him now, but maybe they can maintain a cordial friendship. Or, now that the plaintiff knows the defendant really does love her, you can rule in the defendant's favor and argue that since he didn't cheat and really does love her, she should stay in a relationship with him.
- Two men are arguing over the patents to magical spells and devices they've invented. The plaintiff is convinced that the other man stole his ideas, while the defendant (who for some bizarre reason is named Darwin, yes, after Charles Darwin) maintains that he is innocent, that the ideas were in fact his and thus, he should get the money from the products and not the plaintiff. Which one of them is telling the truth? The plaintiff is, and you eventually cause the defendant to have to hand over the profits.
