The LORE

## Lore Dump

Players have received lore!

```
LoAaD characters power scaling

Nathan Palmer: the player present on LoAaD, inherently has the highest scaleability, but hasn't reached anywhere near their potential yet.
"immensely paranoid, a respectable quality, but they need to be more decisive to accomplish their goals." - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

JayceSprite: Weakest of the trio surrounding the LoAaD player, he should not be discounted however, his genius and capability as a diplomat are quite above the average person, plus with the sprite buff his combat capabilities are on a rather powerful level if a bit limited.
"brilliant inventor, elegant politician, capable fighter, a real Piltover renaissance man. also has a very punchable face" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

The Don: An old underboss called back by Syzygy to act as Nathan's mentor in the ways of mind, he used to rule the underground of LoAaD but after a stark betrayal his left and right-hand men took over his business and the factions split, still he is a force to reckoned with, there is a reason we chose him to be Nathan's mentor
"they say favors are power on LoAaD, and if that really is the case, Don might just be the strongest native on the planet" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Harry Gabriel Bonne, AKA The Mentor: possibly the strongest person on the planet currently, most likely even eclipsing the denizen, one of 2 humans who weren't players strong enough to get a classpect assigned, the thief of time is a dangerous and terrifying presence, though most who meet a doomed fate at his hands never see him too begin with, thankfully he is more concerned with pranking his trainee and keeping a jovial front to deal with us directly, much like several other strong people they don't want their close friend and mentee Nathan to figure out their real capabilities, they will do quite a lot to keep up the facade, including sacrificing another acquaintance to an army of police after a setup.
"To anger a person such as this would be truly foolish, I can only hope he never decides I have crossed too far, and that I must be dealt with" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

LoNaO charachters power scaling

Jack Armstrong: the player of LoNaO same situation as Nathan, though closer to full potential than most initial player candidates
"the senator's nephew, if it weren't for the influence of our generous benefactor I would have never chosen him, but he does have a certain.... interesting aura." - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Adam Whatshisname: Essentially a normal human, even if he was a government spook before getting roped into our little game, he can't compare to some of the more... powerful folks on this list, though, oddly, we don't have his last name on file.
"Even if he is just human, FBI training is highly advanced, he could beat almost any human in hand-to-hand combat" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Nanoshaper Arkus: The chosen mentor for Jack, hopefully, his down-to-earth nature and realistic views on the battlefield war will help Jack through his troubles, he is also an ex dersite agent, of the elite nano shaper corp, and as a fellow pseudo magic wizard type, he should be able to help jack with his class.
"Nanotech is something we here at Syzygy have experimented with before, it's strong, and the ability to control it remotely even stronger" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

SamSprite: a sprite prototyped with a jetstream Sam figurine, which means he is basically Sam, Sam was a fantastic fighter before receiving the sprite buff, who could tell what he can do now
"I knew Sam when he was alive, he had an unmitigated aura of charm around him and was undoubtedly incredibly skilled. this sprite version of him feels as if he could cut the world in two" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

LoPaD charachters power scaling

Don Joe: not to be confused with The Don this fellow is the player on LoPaD, he inherits his father's love of adventure and sailing, it will be interesting to see how the child of the Mage Of Space ends up.
"he seems like a kind sort, though admittedly a little out of his mind, the best players are all a little crazy" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Bazaar Master Fox: Leader of the Bazzar on LoPaD a person with this position would be the perfect mentor for the budding Prince of Breath, hopefully, he can teach him to use his powers to bring about creation through destruction, and not to simply destroy freedom forever
"Never really expected there to be such a colorful place on that desert hellscape, and its master is just as colorful as the rest of it" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

MegSprite: a megalodon that consumed the kernelsprite, it appears to be able to grow in size and fight rather well for a sprite
"Big Ghost shark, not much else to say on this one" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Montgomery Joe: Legendary adventurer and boating extraordinaire, he disappeared from the public eye around the time he found Don, he's also the reason we stopped seeing those sea monsters all over the place
"I still remember the ad that played featuring him encouraging exploration of the world, of space, he cured human fear of the unknown, an inspiration to us all, I can only imagine where he is now, one thing is sure however, he is most definitely still alive" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

LoCaI characters power scaling

Robin Dove Bank: a bizarrely named troll musician, they are the player of LoCaI, and seemed to be uninteresting on the surface, but when they changed their land quest through sheer will to do something they became more of a blip on our radar
"I didn't know land quests could change. maybe the heir to the king of rock should have been taken more seriously from the start" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

GlassDoveSprite: a bit of an odd choice for a sprite, but chosen nonetheless, Robin's unusual resonance with their sprite is odd as well, maybe something to do with the name?
"Robin and DoveSprite share a peculiar connection, further study will be required" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Elvis.AI: the guardian of Robin, a computer that contains the intelligence of the actual Elvis, trolling technology is a marvel to behold, though his base computer form holds no combat capability, the king of rock and roll should not be counted out, he has many a secret held in that old power plant
"Who could have known that the Elvis Presley was alive in a computer in a tiny power plant on an island... I did because I know everything about the players but still, it's so ridiculous even I can't take it seriously" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

Saint Ogden The Prophet: leader of a small chapel community on LoCaI, used to be the head honcho of the chapel system, has immense holy power and belief, no one better to be a mentor for a hope player.
"Even I have to respect a being this pious and devout, a truly kind soul, I'm glad we could get him to mentor one of our players" - Marcus Matrix CEO Syzygy Computing

## Updates

Over the course of the Kackstuck campaign Syzygy Computing often maliciously changes the rules of the game on a whim, letting the Sburb players know about updates as they happen through the use of patch notes.

### A current and constantly updated list of patchnotes curtesy of rito llc inc:

#### Update 1.2

```
Sburb 1.2: "Traits And Tasks"
-Added Traits;
   "We felt that mid game progression got a bit stale, as players fell into a simple loop of getting grist and alchemizing while wandering their land, so we introduced a reward for exploration and creative problem-solving"
-Awarded retroactive Traits
  Nathan
    Paranoid(+2 on checks involving blatant paranoia or over concern for an unlikely situation)
  Jack
    No Traits awarded
  Don
    Insane (-1 to checks involving sanity, +2 to occult checks and understanding crazy ideas)
  Robin
    No Traits awarded
-Expanded Tasks
  "A rather large number of the given tasks that the game intends you to complete are obscure and admittedly kind of dumb, so we reworked them!"

```

#### Update 1.3

```
Sburb 1.3: "bits and pieces"
 -fixed consort system
   "the consort system had been on the fritz since being added to our new framework, but should now be back to fully functioning, players can expect to see life abound."
 -fixed land generation bug
   "we noticed some lands were generating incorrectly, so we fixed that too, lands should now display proper names, as well as including fully functional environments."

```

Although the players are powerless to stop the uncanny abilities of Syzygy Computing, they have displayed their disgruntlement towards such tyranny through acts of petty rebellion.

   "Maliciously? We've been nothing but helpful so far!"
