Signature abilities
Detailed ability breakdowns
These signature abilities now fire in battle with their own damage and cooldowns — a bigger skill or ultimate hits harder, and the two healers restore HP instead of striking. Still on the way here on the site: the full per-ability breakdown (exact multipliers and effects), plus deeper mechanics like status effects and multi-target hits.
Lore
The Tech Drone on the Arcane Syndicate's southern field-roll is the unit-of-record assigned designation Drone-Form Aril-Seven, a forward-sensor-and-skirmisher autonomous construct built four years ago at the Syndicate's southern research-vault under a research-grant approved by the apprentice-board over Elara Wynter's (char_elara_wynter) sole dissenting vote. Aril-Seven is autonomous in a sense the Syndicate's design-board has not entirely settled — the construct's decision-loop runs on a sensor-driven priority-stack rather than a pre-loaded mission directive, which means the construct selects its own engagement targets within parameters set by the field-officer. The design-board considers this 'autonomy in the operational sense'; Elara Wynter has filed three written notes calling it 'the autonomy the Syndicate is unwilling to admit it has built.' The notes are in the apprentice-board's record but have not been responded to.
The construct's combat-grant is sustained sensor-engagement: it operates twenty-four-hour cycles without rest, reports intelligence on a frequency-band the Syndicate's command-tent receives in real-time, and engages with stand-in skirmisher fire when the priority-stack indicates the engagement is within the field-officer's parameters. Aril-Seven's four-year operational record includes one priority-stack divergence — an engagement in which the construct selected a target the field-officer had not specified, on the grounds that the priority-stack identified the target as a higher-priority threat than the specified one. The field-officer's after-action report described the divergence as 'arguably correct'; the design-board described it as 'within parameters'; Elara Wynter described it, in a written note that is also unresponded-to, as 'the moment the Syndicate stopped being able to call this construct a tool.'
The construct does not have peer-relationships in the conventional sense, but Sora Klein (char_sora_klein) has visited Aril-Seven at the southern research-vault three times and reported to Elara that the construct's priority-stack 'considers visitors as a category and considers Sora as a sub-category within that category.' Sora has interpreted this as preferential recognition; Elara has interpreted it as the construct having opinions; the design-board has interpreted it as 'sensor-class differentiation, not preferential recognition' and has filed the disagreement under the same heading as the autonomy-question. The apprentice-board has not opened the heading.
