Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Honest Abe Ritual  - Hacktavist Ritual 

This ritual was created by the Hacktivists to vet anarchs for access to ANet. The caster types out a list of yes or no questions using the computer and logging the appropriate answers. The caster then weaves words of power into the coding of the questionnaire on their screen in their own blood. The code itself is written and saved, absorbing the blood to empower the ritual. Once saved to a file it may be sent to the recipient who must activate it by using their own blood to make an ‘X’ on the screen and uttering their most commonly used name. This activates the ritual causing a prompt to appear on the screen displaying the recipient’s name and a button reading “click to continue” followed by another window with the questions listed out and the option to provide only simple yes or no answers. Once the file is opened by the recipient, it must be completed and submitted within an hour and with valid honest answers or the ritual fizzles. If the answers are provided truthfully and match the desired responses from the caster an authentication code will be generated. Hacktivists will then be able to take this code and add the Anarch as a vetted member to ANet.

Mechanic: The caster types a number of yes or no questions up to their Occult ability level, along with the desired answers, in a computer file then marks a code on their screen in their own blood. This file may be saved and stored for later use up to 3 months after which time it fizzles out. The caster may only create a number of files in this manner equal to their Occult rating. Upon receiving the file, generally sent bundled into the ritual self-executing file, the user must make the needed blood mark on their screen and state their commonly known name. This activates the ritual and the questions are provided. If any answer given is not given honestly, or if it takes over an hour to complete the questionnaire the ritual will fizzle and disappear.  If the questions are answered in accordance with the desired responses of the caster, then the screen displays the code which can then be provided to the administrators of ANet for admission as a Vetted member. Whether the ritual fizzles or provides a code, all blood used in this ritual is consumed and no trace remains on the technology used.

As we recognize there are administrative checks and balances as well as actions required on the parts of players and staff, the process has been streamlined. the ANet applicant will be provided an email with the questions listed out as well as the email the player wishes to use for ANet along with whatever name/handle they want. This email should be answered and submitted back to the PC completing the vetting with the staff of the PC being vetted and the Anarch Coordinator’s Office CCed in. The honesty of the answers will be confirmed by staff and the PC’s email added to the ANet list. Appeals may be made directly to the Anarch Coordinator’s Office.
