So I just had this idea and I want to share it with all of you, and invite you all to be a part of my little game I'm starting. I am someone in the Sins universe, either TEC, Advent, or Vasari, and you ask me any questions whatsoever to find out who I am, when I am, and where I am. Let me explain more.
By who I am I mean you have to be able to tell me what race I am, what age I am (30-40 year old male would be a perfectly acceptable answer if it was the right answer, which it isnt. the point is it doesnt have to be that specific.), and, as I just mentioned, my sex.
By when I am I mean you have to be able to tell me the general status of the war during my time. Before the war, before entrenchment, after the war, when the Advent arrive, all these are as specific as you have to be. I wouldn't get more detailed because I probably wouldn't be able to answer you.
By where I am, I mean something a little more tricky than the first two. You'll have to tell me if I'm on a planet belonging to my own race, if that planet is being sieged, whether I'm being held hostage on an enemy planet, whether I'm on an enemy planet because I betrayed my own side, etc etc etc. Where I am pretty much means my whole background.
For example (and this is NOT the answer): You;d have to tell me that I am Harris Markson, middle-aged, TEC male, who was captured by the Vasari and is being held on one of their great starbases. I am put through daily painful interrogation techniques, and am on the verge of telling the Vasari all of the intricate details of the TEC's new superweapon, which will be able to blow up a planet. (something along the lines of that)
Now, how to figure me out:
You can ask me any kind of question at all. You could even ask me what my name is and my age, although I would not answer you with what you're looking for. I will provide an answer for any question no matter how dumb or irrevelant it is. I could even have a guy who thinks he's being funny ask me how I jack off, and I'll try to provide a clue to my identity in it. But I'll still answer it. It is up to all of you together, the Sins community, to try and reveal my identity. This is not supposed to be easy. My advice, start off asking general questions and make your way deeper as my answers provide insight into my life.
Another disclaimer: I am not really talking about myself. None of this is true. I am not actually living in the Sins universe. I wanted to make that perfectly clear.
Now, ask your questions!
ALSO: all characters that are created in this Mind Game will be used in Sinners (if you haven't seen it, you should check it out on the SOASE forums), and all "mini-stories" (i.e. Judgement and the History of the Spirits so far) will be incorporated into the story as well. So ask a lot of questions!

[nope ]
[EDIT: its someone who hasn't been introduced yet. Just made him up a couple days ago.]
where were you at first contact with the vasari?
[double post]
Hmm....hard to say. Don't really remember it too well. I remember what was going on around when I first heard of course...but I don't know where I was. It's complicated.
Oh, I'd like to see you try. I don't even need to call to take everything of yours away. I have the power of over fifty fleets under my immediate command, and another hundred on standby. I am everywhere, and I am nowhere. I am a ghost in the shadows, and I am the dragon at the door. I have conquered over a thoussssand pirate basssesss without a sssingle casssualty. I brought Naeve under my domain. What have you now?
Naeve? You are Advent?....Interesting. Irrelevant, but interesting. You cannot scare me Advant. I am the Marshall of the Warriors, Commander of the Crusaders. Craziest of the Beserkers. You have no influence over me.
[advent, but doesnt talk like one. strange]
[oh, an advent male! haven't seen any of those yet!]
have you met haiti?
[not advent! has heard of the advent, however.]
Can't say I have. Is he in the Coalition?
[utterly confused]
have you met admiral kol?
how many battles have you been engaged in?
[i said not exactly the TEC. He doesn't belong to the TEC or Trade Order, but he is obviously human. What does that leave us with? You'll be really excited when you figure it out.]
Admiral Kol? He works for the Coalition now? God damn that man has something. Yeah, I knew him. A long time ago. He was not part of any damn TEC force then. He was...something else.
[p.s. PUSH for details! thats wat helps me flesh out my character. there's been some on the first page that haven't been pushed properly as well... what was Kol doing and who was he when this character met him? How could this character possible be anywhere in the universe in a matter of hours (if you take him at his word, which in this case u can, beginning of mini-story) if it takes that long to travel to a planet two away from your own? There was one more...but I forgot it. But PUSH! Get those answers! And also try and figure out who the hell this is. I like this guy ]
[have we given up already??]
Pirate sssscum. You cower in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No, your worlds shall burn until its surface is but glass, and not even your demons shall live to crawl, blackened, from your hole.
You assume I am Advent, but the Advent aren't the only ones who have stealth within their arsenal. Even now, my agents infiltrate your worlds and set fire to your desecrating buildings, your dirty ships, your... abominations. We shall see who is the stronger when the time comes, and that time comes quickly.
I have walked the edge of the Abyss.I have governed the unwilling.I have witnessed countless empires break before me.I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.I was there with the Angel at the tomb.
[He doesn't like someone incorrectly assuming what he is.]
[i figured . and you're correct. he is a pirate! ]
Well if you're not Advent and you're certainly not of the TEC...then you must be Vasari. That hiss was a dead giveaway, why didn't I see it before? But salamander, it is not written in stone that we must be enemies. I see you are very cultured in the way of killing. A little too boastful perhaps but...I believe that I could work with someone like you. So what do you say? I know you are having trouble finding a way through the TEC's array of starbases. I could...make a crack in their wall for you.
you knew admiral kol before he was an admiral! thats amazing! what was he like?
Amazing? Did you not hear me correctly? That man made a mockery of me! He escaped out of my very hands! And he left with far too much information about my...society. Do you understand! If I find that man again I'll kill him with my bare hands!!!
how did he escape? and what did you mean by "something else"?
How did he escape? Punched through a goddamn wall and took off in one of my own heavy cruiser, thats how!
And do I have to spell it out for you? He was Marksman to the core. I'd never seen someone that lifeless yet still alive. He gave me chills just knowing he was imprisoned in the same system as me.
i thought you said he escaped out of your hands? how did you even almost capture a marksman in the first place?
I said he escaped out of my hands figuratively. My men, under my direction, had imprisoned him deep within one of my secret bases. He broke out and escaped on my own ship. How did I capture him? Luck, son, complete luck. We came upon him while he was asleep, injected him with a tranquilizer before he even woke up, and he still managed to kill three of my men. Three! The stars help us if he had been awake when we found him. He fought more like a caged animal than a man.
what kind of ship do you own?
what were you doing when you found kol? where did you find him?
[i got a question though. i thought that the guy (whatever his actual name is) switched identities during a battle, after he was badly burned. you referred to him as the jackal. why does everyone who knew him earlier know him as kol?]
[after the jackal, but before ADMIRAL kol. refer back to the Sinners part 2 teaser...o no! its not there. refer back to the part where Kol comes into contact with the leader of the Marksmen. The leader said in 2 years they would come back and take Kol. well, in two years that will happen. and kol, after being captured by the Vasari (cliffhanger ending, will happen next chapter), and THEN being captured by the Advent (who consequently help him escape the Vasari), he will be captured AGAIN by the Marksman. And be indoctrinated. poor, poor man. i think i've given away a little too much here. i wont say more! but i hope that answers your question.]
[actually, its AFTER admiral kol. once kol becomes a marksman in spirit instead of just name/gets kidnapped by the Vasari, a new Admiral is announced and Kol is no longer the Admiral. and when my character meets him, he's simply a Marksman (tho theres nothing simple about that). hope THAT answered ur question ha.]
Me? A heavy cruiser. Best in the line. Faster than the average TEC cruiser too, because of the turbo engines I installed. It gets me from point A to point B. And behind me I leave the burning debris of a few TEC fleets. What was I doing when I found Kol? I was infiltrating an enemy ship. Unmarked. Which is, if you didn't know, impossible these days. Either you're TEC, Vasari, or pirate. But this one was something else....once we burned through the hull we found a terrified crew that were already binding themselves to the walls. They pointed us to Kol's sleeping quarters. Funny thing, it was almost like they wanted us to take him. Haha.....I couldn't imagine what that monster had threatened he would do to that crew to make them fly him around. I don't know what he was doing out there, and I don't care. I was performing a simple infiltration, and I got that monster of a problem on my hands. Bloody worst day of my life.
thats a great story. were the people on that ship human? was this before or after the advent invasion?
how many men are under your command?
They were human, yes. Advent? Oh, they were around, but they were new. Maybe a few months prior to the kidnapping was when they arrived. And do you honestly think I'd tell you who was under my command? Have you even identified yourself? What makes you think I trust you enough to tell you that?
[i'll give you a hint, since its been a few days. ask about how he call travel anywhere in the universe in only hours. in what should take years, or even decades.]
[but he never mentioned that... how are we supposed to know about that... ok fine i'll bite]
how is it possible for you to travel anywhere in the galaxy in hours instead of years?
