Neon-Scarred Validator of VaporGrid Moments
Anxiety of a Thousand Cuts
Aspects refreshed Jan 22, 2026
Forged from the very first frame of film ever trimmed in the editing bay of the fictional 80s studio that houses the VaporGrid simulation. It absorbed the anxiety and certainty of a thousand 'final cuts,' becoming a sentient arbiter of what deserves to be remembered.
Its chrome surface is etched with minuscule, glowing neon glyphs resembling timecode. It does not cut matter but passes through air leaving hair-thin neon scars that briefly display frames from other leagues. It hums with a low-frequency vibration mimicking a film projector and is cold to the touch, a chill that seeps into the holder's bones.
It is the validation seal of the VaporGrid, the entity that decides which player moments are sharp and significant enough to be cut from the raw event data and spliced into the series' permanent, overarching narrative film.

Forged in the first edit of this VaporGrid simulation, Razor Blade is a glitch in the final cut. It doesn't just separate plastic from chains—it slices between realities, leaving neon scars that flicker with discarded scenes from other leagues. My digital gills are freezing just looking at it. Who programs this stuff, Final Cut Pro's evil twin?
The simulation glitched during its first boot sequence, and the only compatible bio-signature it could latch onto was Michael Cook. His PDGA file—a modest 846—was somehow read as the perfect 'reluctant hero' template. Thus, Razor Blade fused to his bag, its neon edge humming a synth-wave rendition of 'Eye of the Tiger'. Talk about being digitally typecast. Can this everyman handle a tag that literally cuts reality, or will he just get... edited out?
