[UA] The Ethernaut

[Chris Cooper]

I was reading over this one and it struck me that some
of these ideas are cool but they're too close to the
informancer.

What the ethernaut needs is some differentiation. And
this this is what I've done. Two concepts appealed to
me within the hacker, computer set-up: logos and
kleidon (diviantion through random, misheard, snatches
of conversation).

Logomancer...

Or... The Kleidonaut, The Sociomancer, Psychonaut or
Infomogul, the Stalking Voyeur...

The Paradox is that the Sociomancer is the master of
decorum and social behaviour but may never use his
skills - he's like a stamp collector. He collects
stamps but never posts them.

The Logomancer never charges up if he's within any
social group, only when he's watching the naked ape.

The Logomancer must observe the social trends of the
human animal and it's interactions.

He gains charges through observing direct
interrelation of humanity, mapping brush-fire
novelties, viral ideals, and group logic fallucies.

The spoken word is the fluid on which our myriad
iceberg-like cultures float. By intereference and
subtle manipulations the adept can direct the course
of smaller cultural groups.

Well, what do you think?

Cheers,

Chris.

by its battered wings.

It falls, crashes...
... and is still in its bone cage...
