>THYMOS: Introduce yourself.
Your name is THYMOS IGNIUM. You fancy yourself to be a bit of a WARRIOR, ready to take action against any of the multiple threats typical to the lowblood castes as QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. Despite taking pride in your near-excessive combat skills, you may or may not harbor a DEEP RESENTMENT for your unfortunate circumstances, and are prepared to MASSIVELY OVERCOMPENSATE by picking fights with your betters.
Your other interests include maintaining your sense of AESTHETIC, playing the occasional VIDEO GAME, and of course, talking to your ASSOCIATES.
You are about to engage in a LIFE-CHANGING GAME called SGRUB with four of your confidants. Though you do not know it yet, you are destined to become the PAGE OF LIGHT. You are also a DERSE DREAMER.

You start up a round of chatter on your client, DISARRAY.
