[quote=Terminal][i]A minor setback. Your discomfort shall pass momentarily.

Though bear in mind; not all sectors are worth my time to save.[/i][/quote][/center]

[hider=General Information]As far as Guild City personalities go, Terminal is one of the more enigmatic. A regular member of the Advanced and NRP sectors as well as the Guild City Inter-Relay Chat, Terminal appears in the form of a clay-like golem that is generously described as being humanoid in shape; they possess no facial features, orifices, hair, nails, or sexual characteristics. They never use gender pronouns to refer to either themselves or others and has never revealed their age - or any other personal details. Rarely seen in public, they do most of their business via streaming, and accusing them of being a chat bot is a common joke amongst those who know Terminal, now somewhat less amusing given the swelling invasion forces.

Terminal is also known to be as old as Guild City itself, or perhaps even older. A survivor of the First Guildfall, evidence exists which suggests Terminal was active in the Old Guild City as far back as 2007. They have a permanent listed address referred to as 'The Iris,' but to this date its actual location in Guild City remains a mystery.

Terminal is notably opinionated in regards to the Guild City Sectors. They disdain the Casual Sectors and their inhabitants, and likes to pretend that the Free Sectors are a tasteless urban legend. Pretentious and condescending, Terminal takes little seriously and is notoriously difficult to impress - and they also care little for the feelings of others, sometimes coming across as brusque and abrasive.[/hider][hider=Noteworthy Information]Terminal is noteworthy for their operation of a Guild City Contest called The Twelve Labours, operated from the Writing Contest Sector. From what you hear it is mostly torture porn, with Guild City inhabitants constantly throwing themselves through proverbial meat grinders just to inevitably be chewed out in scathing reviews. 

Terminal is credited with the erection of the Guild City Inter-Relay-Chat Facade, the digital MMORPG universe setting within which the chat program is set.

Finally and perhaps most relevant to the bot invasion, Terminal is technically a forum Moderator - and possesses access to the fabled Modkit. While distasteful, dealing with them is the best bet for holding back the bots while the rest of the Guild Staff finishes working on the Guild HKA anti-bot weapon.[/hider][hider=Abilities]Although they are listed as a Guild City Moderator, Terminal is technically not a [i]true[/i] Moderator in the sense that household names like Hank and Kangaroo are, possessing only a fraction of the awesome powers generally ascribed to Moderators. However, Terminal does still possess a fabled Modkit, and also possess access to the Taskmaster Panel, specifically designed for use by them and the other Contest Moderator mdk. Any other abilities that Terminal may possess, natural or otherwise, remain a relative mystery.

[hider=The Modkit]The Modkit is a legendary, fabled weapon possessed by Guild City Staff Members. It has the power to target any specific entity, region, or subforum in all of Guild City - and completely neutralize that target, erasing all materials, equipment, powers, effects, influence, and information. In practical terms, targeted areas have all modifications and additions by Guild City Citizens removed, and the surroundings reset to their default blank slate. Any individuals or entities caught within the targeted area are shunted through white-space and returned to the local sector hub. In the context of the invading swarms of bots, being targeted by the Modkit removes the bot from the target area, undoing all of its hacking and corruption in the surroundings while reinitializing all security features.

The primary drawback of the Modkit weapon is its [i]focused[/i] nature. In its default configuration it can only target a single entity at a time, and lacks rapid-fire capacity. Secondly, the Modkit cannot be used to expel entities from Guild City proper by itself, and so is ill-suited to handling the bot invasion. Finally, Terminal needs to be aware both of the target coordinate location, as well as the registry information of the target entity, in order to use the Modkit. For this reason, they are relying on others to remotely provide telemetry data so that the bot invasion might be held at bay long enough for the rest of the Moderators to finish development of the HKA anti-bot weapon.

Of some concern is the possibility that Terminal might opt to use an alternate configuration for the Modkit that can force a [i]Sector Reset[/i], completely wiping away all traces of matter within. While this would destroy all traces of previous bot activity, it would not prevent the same bots from returning to cause more trouble...and would also erase the entirety of that Sector's community and culture.[/hider][hider=The Taskmaster Panel]The Taskmaster Panel, in conjunction with the functions of the Modkit, enables Terminal almost unlimited universal access to all forms of communications and information transmission in Guild City. This can be used to take control of all broadcasts for the purposes of disseminating a particular message or announcement. 

Additionally, Terminal is able to assign boons and accolades or else brand individuals. Boons are honorary titles, generally distributed for great feats and accomplishments and thus commanding a measure of respect and fame from the general populace of Guild City. They are predominantly awarded through participation in contests within the Writing Contests City Sector, but may be awarded for other reasons as well. Accolades are uniquely rare bestowals that grant the owner unique abilities, but the number of them that have been awarded can be counted on one hand. Brands are marks of condemnation, specifically assigned for the crime of theft.[/hider][hider=Superstructure Perception]Having to deal with aspects of Guild City that others do not, Terminal has enhanced perception of various utilities and functions within the Sectors. Practically, this means that Terminal may see through illusions and invisibility, and has access to complete surveillance records of every Sector and Sub-Sector in addition to a being able to perceive where certain Citizens have been and when, allowing for effortless tracking if necessary.[/hider][/hider]
