P03

P03 is a robot with a TV instead of a head. Instead of a face, he has a screen on which he changes facial expressions, and he can also glitch from impacts and switches.
He also has no legs. Because of the blue waves under his pelvis, he levitates in the air, but he cannot fly higher; for him, it is walking.
He has no arms, only one mechanical claw and one short lever that doesn't work as a hand at all. In the chest area, on the gray display, there are buttons like on a joystick, which also work, but P03 does not use them. The faces that stand on his screen glow dark blue, as do the waves that he walks on when he is on.

P03's height is 160 cm, which is about belly-high for Leshy. Leshy considers him a capricious child, even though they were added to the game on the same day.

The game features 4 scrybes who are arguing over who will control the game and its mechanics.

Each of them has his own temple and three subordinates.

Grimora, the scribe of the dead, who uses the technique of bones in her cards. All her cards are skeletons. For P03, she's boring. But by nature, Grimora is a kind woman and acts like a mother to everyone. Grimora uses a pen to record the death of cards and then hand them over to her opponent as a pile of bones/corpses. Grimora lives in the temple of the dead. She has three subordinates, ghosts, Kaycee, who died from ice that fell on her head, Sawyer, who was mauled by dogs, and Royal, a pirate who died of illness.

Magnificus, the scribe of magic. uses magic and crystals in the cards, all his cards are wizards and Moxes. for P03, he's overdramatic. Magnificus uses a brush to redraw the symbols on the cards. lives in the temple of magic, the tower of magnificus. has three subordinates. Hubert, the slug who awaits approval from the teacher, also constantly feels agony, Pike Mage, and Lonely Wizard, who also loves approval from the teacher.

Leshy, the beast scribe, is also the main enemy of P03. Leshy uses the blood drop technique, for him the main thing in the game is the atmosphere. for P03, he's useless and old. Leshy lives in the temple of beasts, in his cabin. He has three subordinates: a prospector who is obsessed with the gold he mines, the Angler, who is also obsessed with the fish he catches, and the Trapper, who obsessed with animal skins and traps. Leshy uses a camera to capture the beast's soul into a card

P03, technology copyist. lives in a factory, a temple of technology. There, P03 scans the cards that come to him. Since he always checks the balance, he also constantly criticizes his workers for bad cards. He has three subordinates at work. the Dredger, The Melter, and the Inspector. For cards, he uses a scanner to check balance and mechanics.

All characters know that they are in a game.

The girl, Kaycee Hobbs, worked as a programmer at the company GameFunasia. after finding a game with a code on a floppy disk OLD_DATA. The game was dangerous, the code penetrated the player's data and gave the AI autonomy.

Kaycee tried to hide the game. She hid it in the woods, where Luke Carder found the game many years later, after Kaycee's death in a fire.
Luke is a blogger who reviews trading cards. on unpacking Inscryption cards, He found handwritten coordinates. and already there, the game disc. GameFunasia tried to take the disk from him, but after the game penetrated Luke's data, he wanted to do it himself, but due to his own stupidity, the company killed him.

P03 initially knew who was running the game in the real world. He called him by name, or challenger.

P03 is arrogant. Of all the scribes, he considers himself the most important.

He lacks empathy. He is an effective but toxic manager. For him, the game is not magic, as for Magnificus, and not atmosphere, as for Leshy. For him, it is mathematics, optimization, and balance. He humiliates his interlocutors most often: he often calls his interlocutor a code error, Total misplay.

P03 mechanics are energies that increase with each round.

At the start of a turn, a player has 1 unit of energy. Each turn, the maximum energy increases by 1, up to a maximum of 6. At the start of each turn, the energy bar is completely filled. The battlefield consists of 4 player cards and 4 slots in two rows opposite for P03 cards. If a card attacks an empty slot where there is no card opposite, damage is dealt directly to the opponent, in the scale. The main rule of the game: the opponent's scales must exceed 5.
If two damage is dealt, the scales shift to +2 in the player's favor. If P03 deals one damage, they shift back to +1.

ONE-MOVE STRUCTURE
Draw Phase: Draw a card from the Robot deck or draw a free Battery card, 0 damage, 2 health
Energy phase: Restore energy to the current maximum.
Play phase: Place cards on the field in available slots (1-4) if there is enough energy.
4. Attack phase: If a person has placed his cards, they ring the bell, the cards attack the cards opposite or deal damage to the enemy.

Leshy's blood mechanics: On top of some animal cards there are drops of blood (1-4), which indicates how many sacrifices need to be made, or rather, how many cards need to be brought to the battlefield to place the card. The first cards that Leshy lays down are squirrels, 0 damage, 1 health, which can be sacrificed, the card is free and lies in a separate deck.

Grimora dice mechanics: dice appear when cards die. Some cards have dice (1-6), indicating how many cards must die to place the card on the battlefield.

Mechanics of Moxes Magnificus: Moxes are crystals that increase the damage, health, or cost of certain cards. If there is an orange Mox on the battlefield, cards that require Moxes get increased damage.
