Dominance Loops

This term is used to describe how one Aspect or Attribute has advantage over one other, but is weaker than one other, just like Rock-Paper-Scissors. This is the core concept in the game that is used over-and-over.


Trine Dominance (TD)

  • Mind > Body > Spirit > Mind

Mind over Body. Body is the Vessel of the Spirit. Spirit inspires the Mind.

Intra-Aspect Attribute Dominance (Attribute Dominance loops)

  • Mind: REA > KNO > QUI > REA
    • “Think → Know → Quick → Think.”
  • Body: STR > FIT > AGI > STR
    • “Smash → Last → Dash → Smash.”
  • Spirit: WIL > PRE > INT > WIL
    • “Grit → Aura → Gut → Grit.”

Cross-Aspect AD

Mind vs Body (REA / QUI / KNO vs STR / AGI / FIT)

(REA / QUI / KNO vs STR / AGI / FIT)

Mind \ Body STR AGI FIT
REA = < >
QUI > = <
KNO < > =
Mnemonic Reference

REA

  • REA = STR — “Brains meet brawn.”
  • REA < AGI — “Too quick to think.”
  • REA > FIT — “Work smarter, not harder.”

QUI

  • QUI > STR — “First strike wins.”
  • QUI = AGI — “Think fast, act fast.”
  • QUI < FIT — “Fast thinking doesn't win marathons.”

KNO

  • KNO < STR — “Shut up, nerd!”
  • KNO > AGI — “Know their moves.”
  • KNO = FIT — “Slow and steady.”

Mind vs Spirit (REA / QUI / KNO vs WIL / PRE / INT)

Mind \ Spirit WIL PRE INT
REA = > <
QUI > < =
KNO < = >
Mnemonic Reference

REA

  • REA = WIL — “Resolve is reasonable.”
  • REA > PRE — “Cut through the hype.”
  • REA < INT — “Inspiration beats calculation.”

QUI

  • QUI > WIL — “Interrupt the resolve.”
  • QUI < PRE — “Star power stops you.”
  • QUI = INT — “Fast instincts.”

KNO

  • KNO < WIL — “Belief beats books.”
  • KNO = PRE — “Credibility clash.”
  • KNO > INT — “Facts beat feelings.”

Body vs Spirit (STR / AGI / FIT vs WIL / PRE / INT)

Body \ Spirit WIL PRE INT
STR = > <
AGI > < =
FIT < = >
Mnemonic Reference

STR

  • STR = WIL — “Strong body, strong spirit.”
  • STR > PRE — “Can’t charm a fist.”
  • STR < INT — “See it coming.”

AGI

  • AGI > WIL — “Can’t hold what moves.”
  • AGI < PRE — “Command pins you.”
  • AGI = INT — “Read and react.”

FIT

  • FIT < WIL — “Will beats weariness.”
  • FIT = PRE — “Enduring impression.”
  • FIT > INT — “Outlast the hunch.”
