Sauce: Corruption and amalgamation.

Sauce is one of those “aspects” that is actually an entity screwing with Sgame to exert its influence.  This entity perpetuates itself through time loops and glitches, and enables those corrupted by its influence to use aspects not present in their session.  The caveat is that they must know said aspects. Sauce players are doomed to become amalgamated into the Sauce Entity, and are often corrupted to an extent that they either won’t care or will be delighted at such a prospect.

Complement: Juice

Element: Corruptive green “sauce”

Whisperings: The Sauce

Juice: Purification.

The aspect of Juice is all about purification, and the anthesis aspect of Sauce.  Juice is not a directly independant aspect. While it can still function in sessions and on its own, the Juice aspect exists to counter the Sauce entity and its aspect.  Seeing as the Sauce relates to corruption and overall the negative factors associated with that kind of decline and influence, the Juice was created by Sgame to counter the ideology and practices of the Sauce entity through purification.

Complement: Sauce

Element: Purifying glowing apple juice

Whisperings: The Juice

Ash: Power and change.

Ash players start out with a lot of power in some form, and need to learn the restraint to not just blow shit up or force their way through whenever they encounter a problem.  Their first instinct is to brute force through things and this can instill a might makes right mentality in them.

Complement: Egg

Element: Silver Energy

Whisperings: The Force

Egg: Responsibility and surprise.
Egg can be broken down into Responsibility, Surprise, Easter Eggs, Being Susceptible to Corruptive Forces.

Egg players have immense power locked inside of them, but do not access it until they realize it is there. It has to be nurtured. They can either be late game powerhouses, or walking disasters.

Complement: Ash

Element: Egg!

Whisperings: The Shell

Voice: Communication and rhythm.

Voice players are adept at reading others' movements and emotions.  They can come from a variety of backgrounds, from artists to martial artists to socialites.  Their strength comes from the ability to observe and/or manipulate others and they tend to make excellent spies.  Voice players are also capable of manipulating vibrations, which can be as gentle as a whisper or as destructive as an earthquake.

Complement: Flakes

Element: Vibrations

Whisperings: The Signal

Flakes: Strife and solitude.

For Flakes players, the best way to describe them is "a square peg in a world of round holes".  They have trouble playing nice with others, but this doesn't make them an automatic antagonist to their co-players.  They simply see the world in a different light and step to a beat no one else can follow. They're outcasts, and may prefer their own company to that of others.

Complement: Voice

Element: Cold

Whisperings: The Blizzard

Night: Dreams and death.

Night players' dreamselves may wake up on their moon long before the game starts.  Unlike their co-players, Night players experience their time as their dreamselves in full clarity.  To some, it may feel as though the real world is a dream and dreams are the reality. They may be somewhat detached from their surroundings and space out often.  They are also far more attuned to the dead, and are able to interact with ghosts and incorporeal objects better than others. After all, if you think of death as an eternal sleep, then the afterlife is an eternal dream.

Complement: Day

Element: Calming Darkness

Whisperings: The Moon

Day: Awakening and rebirth.

A Day player will often have an awakened dreamself early on if not from their first dream.  They are very aware of their surroundings, however often lose focus of their thoughts. They are often the first to know big reveals and they have an awareness of new beginnings, but many dread death and endings, often refusing to believe any form of ending is forever.  After all, if death is an “eternal” sleep, then there must be some way to wake them up.

Complement: Night

Element: Energizing Light

Whisperings: The Sun

Snow: Order and rationality.

Snow players tend to prefer things neat and tidy and will be able to see and replicate most any obvious pattern.  They have an aspectual connection to things like crystals, lattices, and grids. The Snowbound prefer to base their beliefs on evidence and will build off of their previous worldview as new evidence pops up, discarding the bits that no longer make sense as necessary, however, unlike Rage players, they will calmly walk those with dissenting beliefs through their logical process and look through the dissenter’s process for the purpose of finding the most rational idea.  They prefer things calm and collected, and will be greatly distressed by disorderly conduct and non sequiturs.

Complement: Rain

Element: Crystals

Whisperings: The Lattice

Rain: Chaos and insanity.

Rain players paradoxically understand things the most when they make the least sense.  They can navigate a mess with ease, yet will find themselves lost in an ordered an organized setting.  They are often in tune with the weather, and enjoy viewing just about anything with shifting or inconsistent colors.  They are often the cloudcuckoolanders  of their respective player groups, speaking nonsense that mostly makes sense to only them, as well as being able to do things simply because they think they can.  They usually somehow know  what’s going on and are often the first to know, though, so keep good track of the weirdness they speak.  Sometimes the nonsense and non sequiturs aren’t as much so as one may initially think. They also tend to be immune  to both aspectual Corruption like Sauce and Glitch can cause and the kind of Corruption that can be brought by Angels and Others.

Complement: Snow

Element: “Headaches”

Whisperings: The Voices

Stereotypes:

• [I'm laughing.  Always. Even when it isn't funny.  Especially when it isn't funny.]

• [I'm habitually split into a handful of repliclones.]

• [I always have a fresh new perspective on the situation.]

• [Everything's better when it's as colorful as possible!]

• [I'm always using something really weird (yet useful) as a fashion accessory.] (For example: wearing a traffic cone as a hat, carrying a big fistful of eating utensils when you don't have utensilkind, always keeping two extra tent poles strapped to your forearms, folding a tarp into a paper crane shape and wearing it like a backpack, slinging a hot pink extension cord over one shoulder...)

Heat: Energy and ideas.

Heat players are all about the stuff that can’t directly be sensed, but still has an effect on the world around it.  They are often on the extreme ends when it comes to level of activity, either preferring to remain on the move or stay inside and muse.  They tend to be well-versed in art, science, or both. Once a Heat player has either awakened on their dream moon or entered the Medium, they’re likely to quickly take up an understanding of their role and may even pursue knowledge of the roles of those around them.

Complement: Mass

Element: Kinetic Energy

Whisperings: The Wavelength

Fleur: Purification and beauty.

Explanation here.

Complement: Wabi

Element: Flowers

Whisperings: The Meadow

Mass: Materials and gravity.

Mass players are all about the physical, going with mostly their senses and partially their gut.  They tend to put a lot of weight on small things they happen to care about and will often be a bit obsessive and materialistic.  That isn’t to say, however, that the Massbound are always irrational. Depending on the class, they might even be right about most of the weird things they’ve decided to focus on.  They tend to be confused upon seeing the Medium for themselves for the first time, but when they realize the reality of their situation, they can be quite formidable.
Complement: Heat

Element: Gravity

Whisperings: The Crunch

Mold: 
While Null is the absence of all Aspects and Code is the culmination of all Aspects, Mold is the irreducible concept of what it is to be an Aspect.  It is the in-between of all Aspects, and the lens through which we see the others, often without being aware of it. In this sense, it is unto apples and unto circles.  It lacks laconicism, for it is laconicism itself. While a Nullbound is fundamentally broken and literally lacking an Aspect, the Moldbound merely don’t fit any other Aspect, fitting right in the middle.  A good example of how Mold permeates the way we view Aspects is the fact that just about everyone has already seen what most Classes look like as Mold players. In fact, one could even go as far as to say that for many, their first look at a Class’s design is how it appears with Mold’s color scheme.  I’ll let you think that part over for yourself.

Complement: Mold

Element: PGOs, Apples

Whisperings: The Default

Flow: Momentum and movement.

Flow is the aspect all about “Not stopping until dropping”.  It will be hard to get them out of their “Flow” when they find it.  Flow players have fire powers, and are determined to be the fire in the team and they show it by firing up the team.

Complement: Rhyme

Element: Fire

Whiperings: The Groove

Stereotypes:

• [I can’t stop moving.]

• [I really like staring at fires.  They’re pretty!]

• [I perform best when the heat’s turned up – when things get dangerous and the pressure’s on.]

• [I love to run.]

• [I set my physical movements to the beat of the music I’m playing.]

• [Nothing can stop me.  Nothing. Not even people telling me to consider what I’m doing first.]

Rhyme: Inertia and idleness.

Rhyme is about taking a chill pill and takes cool to a new meaning.  They would rather take things slow and relax by a TV than do quests and battle bosses.  They make sure the team takes a break from time to time and has fun while playing. They mainly focus on Ice powers.

Complement: Flow

Element: Ice

Whiperings: The Shade

Stereotypes:

• [I’m always calm and collected, no matter the situation.]

• [I do everything to my own rhythm.  Nobody can rush me.]

• [I’m fascinated by ice and snow.]

• [I eat all my food cold, even if it’s food that could only be improved by heating it.]

• [I always have a cooler of drinks stashed somewhere nearby.]

• [I don’t do anything until I’ve taken the time to figure out what’s going on.] 

Wabi: Impurity and Ugliness

Just as Fleur is an aspect of idealism akin to Hope taken in a direction that can show deceit and illusion, Wabi is an aspect of realism akin to Rage, taken in a calmer direction that can reveal the true nature of things, warts and all.  Everything is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing to remind people of, even though it can be upsetting for some. While a Ragebound would get pissed off and rebel in the face of wrongness and a Fleurbound would just as quickly deny its existence outright, those bound to Wabi are of the sort to see the beauty in the imperfections in their world and accept them as they are.

Complement: Fleur

Element: Wilted Flowers

Whisperings: The Cracks

State: Physics.

Whether it’s state of matter or state of being, State players can shift all manner of things about the world around them to their will.  They tend to be innately curious about how things work and will often love taking things apart to see what makes them tick. The game sets up their quests so they learn restraint and their curiosity is properly nurtured before they learn that they can do the very same to the physically-bound parts of reality.  This is because if they don’t, well… Let’s just say that most sessions with State players that God Tier early in the Alpha Timeline crash. On the other hand, if a Statebound is properly prepared, they can be incredibly formidable.

Complement: Force

Element: Elementary Particles

Whisperings: The Forces

Spark: Activity and physics.

Movement is a constant feature of reality.  Whether it’s the movement of the planets or the movement of small particles responsible for bigger ones feeling warm, it’s practically inescapable.  More than most people, Sparkbounds seem to always be on the move, unable to catch up with modern-day society no matter how hard they try, and they noticeably try hard.  In some circumstances, it’s so bad that when they realize the world’s about to stop and they’re about to get off, they actually calm down a bit. If there is one in their session, expect them to either envy or be in a moiraillegiance-analagous relationship with the Sootbound.

Complement: Change

Element: Electricity

Whisperings: The Grind

Acid: Physics and transformation.

While the more things change, the more they stay the same, one thing that always stays the same is the fact that things change.  Acidbounds know this all too well. Acid is the Aspect of all things caustic and acts as a catalyst for all manner of transmutation.  Expect Acidbounds to reflect this causticness in their attitudes, and try not to put it past them.

Complement: Real

Element: Bubbling green transmutative liquid; basically Hollywood Acid  meets  I Love Nuclear Power

Whisperings: The Ooze

Real: Physics and reality.

Some things are immutable, whether it’s the laws of physics, the way destiny acts on the Players, or the inevitability of the game to be thrust upon unwitting doomed worlds.  Realbounds have been hit hard by this lesson, and those who haven’t will. Their Aspect can reveal these deadlocks and make new ones, but it takes prowess to get through them.  There’s no forcing one’s way in. It requires finesse. A patient enough Realbound can pick such locks, but by the time they gain this ability, most of them wouldn’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Complement: Acid

Element: Bedrock

Whisperings: The Chains

Start: Creation.

Everything has an origin, and Startbounds have a tendency to, whether deliberately or unintentionally, be that origin for many.  If a Startbound is in your session, expect something new to come up in it. Often, they are responsible for the game “updating” and gaining new features, and indeed most successful updates since the Start Aspect’s implementation into the game have been brought forth by a session containing a Start player.  Their sessions have an occasional tendency to generate players with Null somewhere in their title, and it’ll be up to the Startbound to fill in the gap for the baby version of their coplayer to ensure their Class and/or Aspect exists in the first place. Whether it catches on depends on whether their session bears fruit and the line of succession adds to the overall universe gene pool.

Complement: End

Element: Scan lines and interfaces

Whisperings: The Beginning

Force: Activity and creation.

Force deals with, well, forces .  Whether it’s anything that acts on anything else or even as far as the fundamental forces, there will be some sort of connection.  However, these powers are somewhat misleading when it comes to the actual potential of Force. Forcebounds can use these forces, these sources of energy, to pull objects and ideas into being.  They can feel the quantum fluctuations inherent in reality itself and when attuned to them can be very versatile in their use, although while it takes skill to manipulate these fluctuations to do anything noticeable, it takes even more skill to get them to do anything useful (unfortunately doing things that might break everything or fuck your whole session over are somewhere in between).

Complement: State

Element: Virtual particles

Whisperings: The Flux

Spell: Creation and transformation.

Magic.  The power to make and change things as long as you know the right symbols, words, and regents.  Spell players have one of the most traditionally-based forms of RPG powers. Spellbounds, funny enough, don’t often engage in magical thinking.  In fact, despite the resemblance, they will be the ones to insist more than anyone that magic isn’t real. It’s little more than sufficiently advanced  and analyzed  game powers.

Complement: Ploy

Element: Pretty much magic

Whisperings: The Thaum

Sketch: Wonder and creation.

The joy of creation.  What better to express that love of making things than an Aspect with abilities stemming around a way nearly everyone can make something: drawing.  Sketch players have the power to make makeshift versions of nearly anything, like a sort of upgrade to the Pictionary Modus that actually allows you to use the ghost images if just for a short while.  They love to express themselves through art (although most start off horrible at it), so such incentive to improve their craft will usually be taken in stride. It’s not all fun and games, though. This is Sgame after all.  The further in they go, the more their skills will be challenged, and there’s more at stake and less room for screw-ups. All this potentially on top of frog breeding (many of said frogs not existing and needing to be drawn into existence) because Sketch contains the Creation attribute.

Complement: Ink

Element: Drawings/Ghost images

Whisperings: The Pen

Art: Creation and chaos.

The freedom of not worrying if your ideas are good enough.  Art is the Rain to Sketch’s Dream. Unrestricted creativity juxtaposing structured and deliberate creativity, yet not necessarily a complementary force.  Art players construct fantastical and anomalous things, and love to worldbuild in their own way. They have minds that are full of the weirdest and most wonderful ideas and they’ll put them together in ways that most would have a hard time following.  If you see a fully-realized Artbound in action, expect to come out of it wondering what the fuck you just witnessed. Maybe that’s why their Aspect is called “Art”. As a play on the platitude that true art is incomprehensible.

Complement: Stage

Element: Paint/clay; something in between

Whisperings: The Pleuroma

Speed: Activity.

Speed is all about that energy.  Gotta go fast and all that. It’s not that Speedbounds don’t have enough time; in fact they often have an excess.  It’s just that they have a lot of energy and tend to spend a lot of their time on their feet (or equivalent extremities).  The rest of the world just seems too slow to them, and they’ll need to learn that sometimes a little patience is required for those who can’t keep up.

Complement: Sloth

Element: Wind

Whisperings: The Rush

Lava: Eruption and activity.

Lava is a very destructive Aspect.  It’s energy refined to a point and kept in place until it explodes outwards.  Indeed, much like a volcano, its players don’t seem very volatile until you see them blow up at everything around them.  They tend to be warm and behind-the-scenes under normal circumstances and absolutely catastrophic fireball of fury when scorned.  Literally. Well, literally once they’re able to use game powers anyway.

Complement: Hail

Element: Molten rock

Whisperings: The Volcano

Change: Transformation.

Transformation given its purest essence is one of the more broken abilities one can roll.  Those bound to Change find themselves constantly changing, but they can’t quite adapt to it.  Most of a Changebound’s quest will be about finding themselves and figuring out who they actually are under all that shifting and changing going on at the surface level.  Given a bit of time to understand themselves and the world around them, a Change player will be able to see the properties of the various objects surrounding them and will learn how to alter them for the desired results.

Complement: Spark

Element: Green flames

Whisperings: The Shift

Stage: Wonder.

Wonder is a hard concept to grasp on its own.  That sense of awe when you see something truly brilliant or inspiring.  Stage players see the world for the performance it entails and can put on quite the show when given the proper motivation.  All the world’s a stage, after all, and when someone’s a good actor, they may find the audience cheering you on. Stagebounds take advantage of this, because the more of a following they have, the harder it is for people to oppose them without finding themselves in a horrible positions.

Complement: Art

Element: Colorful curtains

Whisperings: The Audience

Sand: Deceit and charisma.

Despite the stigma, Sand isn’t solely about lying.  Their job requires lies and deception, but it’s more about rules lawyering and cheating.  The distinction is that Sand, as an Aspect of rules lawyering and cheating, does still include lying and deception, but in a much smaller role than one might expect.  They are not actually required. It is sufficient for a Sand player to pick at the holes in rules until they bleed. Incidentally, this also makes Sandbounds excellent gamebreakers.  Make of this what you will.

Complement: Tides

Element: Cutting kinetic force, shredding, earthquakes

Whisperings: The Break

Stereotypes:

• [I've got sand in my pockets.  And in my shoes. And in my bags.]

• [Well, you didn't say I wasn't allowed to do that!]

• [If you aren't making me do it, I'm not doing it.  And how are you going to make me?]

• [I amuse myself by pointing out how this whole thing could've been avoided... after the fact.]

• [If you present me with a story, or a plan, instead of enjoying or committing to it I'm going to poke the premise full of holes.] 

• [Honor? What honor?]

Mist: Reality and multiplicity.

Mist is the aspect of essence – of what makes something real.  A Mist player is a thing of substance – they are, in fact, so real that they cause all sorts of problems, because the Game thinks that they are everyone and everyone is them.  This is not actually helped by the fact that they can become anyone they like. In short, this means the game can haphazardly believe two things: that every Player is the Mist Player and that the Mist Player is every Player.  This randomly messes up a majority of Sgame scripts and even abilities. For example if you use an ability on a Player who stands next to a Mist Player, your ability might benefit your original target, or both the target and the Mist Player, or it might misfire completely and only lock unto the Mist Player.  Heck, if you try to target an ability on a Mist player, it might loop around and target YOURSELF. There's no limit to how confused things can get in Sgame.

Complement: Flare

Element: Some kind of fog or smoke that copies things

Whisperings: The Haze

Stereotypes:

• [I don't respond to my name.  I respond to Lord/Lady of the (Reverberata type).]

• [I find it unusually easy to copy other people's abilities.] (This can then be applied to reduce or remove the usual obstacle to copying abilities!)

• [I have a knack for breaking game constructs in my favor.]

• [I can see through fog/mist/smoke easily, no matter how thick it is.]

• [I find it easier to copy other people's voices, mannerisms, and phrasing than come up with my own.]

• [I give nicknames to everyone I know.] 

• [The Game glitches heavily if people try to use other kinds of Game magics on me.]

Dust: Value and patience.

Dust is an Aspect about the fact that, if you invest time into something, you’ll get something in return.  Mind you, the return might not be worth your time… but even something frivolous like thinking about a fantasy world all the time can pay real-life dividends like “actually you turn out to have an interesting and well-written fantasy series”.  If you invest your time and your effort and your love, you will get something back.  “If the fool persists in his folly, he will become wise.” and all that.  You may not get what you expected, and if you were of a more calculating bent you could certainly use Dust’s abilities to figure out what activities give you the highest rate of return, but that’s not the point: The point is that Dust is about value in the opposite way that Coins was.  Coins is about the flash, about what something can give you now.  Dust is about what something could give you, in the future, if you worked for it.

Complement: Coins

Element: Gray powder

Whisperings: The Ethic

Stereotype:

• [I tend to hang on to empty bottles, boxes, jars, and suchlike - and I’ll use them, too.]

• [A little TLC, and everything will be as good as new!]

• [I dress formally all the time.  And will dress you formally, too, if you let me.]

• [Long hours of work on [hobby] have taught me many things about the world.]

• [I have a tendency to commit myself to what everyone else says are “lost causes”.]

Coins: Value.

Coins is the Aspect of assessing value, in yourself and others.  It’s a good, honest look at what something is actually worth in the here and now, without having to put in anything additional to improve it.  Labor costs extra, after all. The Coinsbound know how to get big returns in the present time with as little risk as possible, and can haggle you out of anything they want, often even if you know what their game is.

Complement: Dust

Element: Metal, intangible sparkles

Whisperings: The Flair

Stereotypes:

• [I speak honestly about how useful you are.] (“With all due respect, you just completely fucked things up for me.”)

• [I’m really good at handling my own finances and giving advice to others about money.]

• [I’m really good at predicting stock markets.]

• [I’m really good at finding cool cheap stuff at flea markets, thrift stores, and bargain bins.] (There’s a lovely secondhand store on Prospit – about half of what they have is junk, but people dive in and occasionally come up with awesome armor, cool legendary weapons, and – if you believe the rumors – secondhand fraymotifs.)

• [I love auctions!]

• [I’m miserly with money.]

• [I hoard stuff.] 

Sight: Subjectivity and perception.

Sight is the sister aspect to Sound, which, as you may remember, is the Aspect of communication - or at least it’s called that.  The thing about Sound’s communication is that it flows outward and around the player, but they don’t really hear, which is kind of a glitch, but also significant in an immeasurable way, like most of Sgame turns out to be when closely investigated.  It’s like sound itself: it’s a physical thing, it exists independently from our capacity for hearing, but we read the noise something makes as independent from what it is. It’s output. Correspondingly, Sight has an independent component, the visible spectrum, which would exist without being seen, but the medium that represents (light) and the object that is represented (a coffee cup, say) are, to our senses, indistinguishable.  The communication is the entity, for Sight. They’re both communication aspects, really; it’s just that Sound separates the characteristics of whatever from its essence, where Sight recognizes no difference between them. The music and the instrument are not one, but the story and the narrator’s voice are.

Complement: Sound

Element: Prismatic colors, rainbows, the Fuck off Symbolism Zone

Whisperings: The Outline

Stereotypes:

• [I have a thing for mirrors - I want to be near them, carry some around, and even wear them.]

• [Everything is a metaphor, if you look at it the right way.]

• [Everything is art, if you look at it the right way.]

• [I’m not going to use just any metaphor. I’m going to use a metaphor nobody has ever used before.]

• [My art is… idiosyncratic. But not in a bad way!]

• [I shroud my advice and opinions in allegories, parables, and fairy tales.] 

Sound: Objectivity and communication.

Sound is the Aspect which rules communication, objective reality, and common goals.  Soundbounds can tell what is meant and what is conveyed no matter what is said, and don’t have to deal with the same barriers most do when it comes to figurative language or even differing languages.  On top of this, an experienced Sound player can grant this ability to others to an extent. Sound operates not through sound waves, but through thoughts and concepts, the one universal language.

Complement: Sight

Element: Static, white noise

Whisperings: The Orchestra

Stereotypes:

• [I hear other people’s thoughts all the time, whether I want to or not.]

• [I broadcast my thoughts into other people’s heads all the time, whether I want to or not.]

• [I am deaf.]

• [My ears can handle arbitrarily loud sounds, without overloading or temporarily deafening me.]

Wheels: Rotation and progress.

Wheels is the Aspectual embodiment of “Keep moving forward”.  It’s connected to progress, industry, technology, the economy, and pretty much everything that physically spins.  On top of that, there’s an element of freedom to Wheels. Wheels is connected to theme park rides, especially rollercoasters, which can inspire such a feeling of freedom.

Complement: Loops

Element: Rollercoasters

Whisperings: The Park

Tides: Strength and honor.

Tides is the aspect of collective strength, honor, and the ocean.  Tidesbounds are all about chivalry when it comes to combat, but in a casual situation, they’re total bros.  They fight fair, and if you don’t, an experienced Tidesbound knows how to make it more costly for you to fight dirty than it would be to give a clean fight.  They’re also a formidable force (there’s a reason some older versions of the game called it “Might”. Hell, there’s still some versions where it’s called Might, coexisting with the Might we know under the name “Vim”).

Complement: Sand

Element: Water

Whisperings: The Wave

Stereotypes:

• [I fight with honor.]

• [I'm always carrying water.]

• [Believe in the me that believes in you!]

• [Tides is the best aspect ever.  Fight me.]

• [I am a large ham.]

Ink: Beauty and obfuscation.

Ink is dark and murky, yet it can also be used to make things of beauty.  While Sketch brings forth makeshift objects, Ink is a more illusory sort and Inkbounds are quite talented at producing inky facades.  They can shroud and disguise things around them for a wide variety of purposes from aesthetic to making an item’s purpose seem completely different from what it actually is.  This power can also be used offensively, and often to terrifying effect.

Complement: Sketch

Element: Ink

Whisperings: The Reel

Fault: Separation and change.

Fault is connected to the necessary separation and isolation of things that makes them substantial. Fault players are grounded and flexible, their heads always in the game and able to keep up with any new developments. Their affinity for the present, however, renders them somewhat reckless, and often renders them unaware of the consequences of their actions.

Complement: Web

Element: Fissures

Whisperings: The Chasm

Web: Interrelation and patterns.

Web is connected to the self-influencing and connected nature of Sgame's mechanics, and represents the patternicity of all existence. Web players are crafty and predictive, knowing how and/or why certain things happen, being able to predict the outcome of an event and using it to their advantage. However, they tend to be a little bit dissociated from reality, never really seeing anything for what it is, looking instead at the ways in which it fits into the grand cosmic fractal of the universe.

Complement: Fault

Element: Spiderwebs

Whisperings: The Tremors

Viy: Corruption and possession.

Viy is another of the unnatural Aspects that have invaded Sgame, originally starting as an Aspect made to make puppets of its players until an opposing force drove Viy to the conceptual plane.  It is now an Aspect akin to Horrorterror influence, and the Viybound are often interested in Eldritch lore of some sort and have an intensely pessimistic view of the world and their importance in the grand scheme of things.

Complement: Cwc

Element: Shadowy Tentacles

Whisperings: The Dread

Cwc: Indulgence and purification.

Cwc is a shenanigan-fueled Aspect that was brought into Sgame by the “defeat” of Viy by an entity that took the Aspect’s name.  Cwc is akin to Angel influence, with shades of Skaia’s influence, with the Cwcbound being fascinated in mythology that features prominent images in their session and having an inflated view of their importance in the grand scheme of things, usually to a fault.

Complement: Viy

Element: Rainbows

Whisperings: The Cosmos

Loops: Cycles and recursion.

While Wheels is an Aspect of moving forward, Loops is an Aspect of moving in circles.  Loops is the Aspect of the Bootstrap Paradox; things that happen in a cyclical and infinitely self-causing manner, whether it’s deterministic self-fulfilling chat bullshit or physical objects like jujus, Loops is so connected to that which has no beginning or end that you could say “the cycle of stupidity” is the Arc Phrase  of the Loopsbound.

Complement: Wheels

Element: Jujus

Whisperings: The Relevance
