Dr. Ivanov/Disclaimer
Parts of this page look a little Technocratic! So here's the variation on the Precepts of Damian that Ivanov has come (or soon will come) to follow.
- Bring stasis and order to the universe. Predictability brings safety, and safety lowers the masses' defenses. Once all is discovered and all is known, Entropy will be poised to unravel the Unified world with ease.
- Convince the Masses of the benevolence of science, commerce and politics, and of the power of rationality. Their acceptance of these so-called 'truths' will bring them under the Conglomerate's sway with minimal effort.
- Preserve the Gauntlet and the Horizon. Chaotic individuals who open gateways with impunity threaten the stability of our world. Instead of allowing uncontrolled portals to provide access to our world, bring them across with proven methods to ensure the stability of the universe remains long enough that Entropy can set in and consume the world in one swift, efficient moment; not dragged out over countless years of death throes.
- Define the nature of the universe. Knowledge must be absolute so that chaos can exploit the weaknesses of that which it has not yet touched. The elemental forces of the universe must be shepherded towards a Unified strategy, for the most aesthetic unraveling method possible.
- Recruit Reality Deviants. Their recklessness delays our progress towards Unity, and they must be shown the correct path to assist the inevitable unraveling of reality.
- Corrupt the Masses; protect them from their ill-conceived notions and convince them that Unification is ideal, if only to guide their paths into Entropy's embrace.
Dr. Ivanov is kiiind of a monster, and does monstrous things! The player is a sweetheart who will make sure that other players are comfortable with anything that happens (we can just handwave Ivanov having her hands tied by higher ups and/or fade to black are both totally valid options!) You will probably asked if you're okay with the monstrous weirdness multiple times a scene, possibly even to the point of being super annoyed. I apologize in advance.
You will note that there is not a Dr. Ivanov on +who or +finger. She is not only a monster, but also a mystery! Who is she? How will you find her? She is a Progenitor; a shape-shifter. She lives in the cracks. She's watching you when you least expect it. She lives in the shadows of your darkest fears. In your weakest moments, when you're naked and vulnerable, she's there - watching, waiting. She lives through all of us, within us, beside us. She's the breath on the back of the neck, the breeze in your hair, the moisture in the air. As such, you likely will be unable to find her!
