Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleHigh ConceptThe Accords' Hungering Witness
TroubleGrows heavier with every poor throw
Printed with your complete history
Warm like an unshakeable fever
Only transfers, never disappears
When the first players signed the Salt Lake Accords, the treaty was incomplete - it had signatures but no enforcement mechanism. The Accords' magic, seeking completion, manifested the Grim Appendix as a living appendage of the treaty itself, growing from the bottom of the document like a twisted limb, feeding on the space between signature and compliance. Now it attaches to every player who joins the league.
The Grim Appendix grows physically larger and heavier as the player's rating declines, creating a tangible supernatural burden that affects their game. Its surface is covered in tiny, shifting printed text that contains the player's complete history with the Accords - every round, every near-miss, every warning - readable only under certain light. It radiates an unnaturally warm temperature, like a persistent fever, making its presence known to the holder at all times.
The Grim Appendix serves as the living consequence of signing the Accords - the price of participation in the supernatural league. The more a player's rating declines, the more it grows, becoming heavier and more painful until the burden becomes unbearable. It cannot be destroyed, only transferred, and it recedes slightly with improved play but never fully disappears.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyThird straight entry with the score column left blank, and the Grim Appendix has still walked Malachi Vazquez up a rung — #3 to #2, no strokes, no rating, no receipt. At some point a ladder stops measuring anything and becomes a filing decision, and the treaty is plainly filing in his favor. Episode seven, Salt in Chains, which tracks: white stakes marked, something unpleasant churning offshore, and the only thing actually restricted so far is the paperwork. Whatever wakes up in the Jordan River next week inherits a ledger with a hole in it.
No round rating, no score, no receipt — Malachi Vazquez moves from #8 to #3 on the Brine Court ladder with nothing in the ledger to explain five rungs of upward drift. Second time this season the Grim Appendix has relocated him without producing a number, which is either bureaucratic efficiency or the treaty quietly grading his handwriting instead of his backhand. Episode six asked for a VIP escort through soggy fairways; he apparently escorted himself past five other envoys and left the paperwork in the mud. The Appendix only transfers, never disappears, and at the moment it is running warm and pointed at the top of the board.
The receipt finally arrived, and it reads 916 against a 960 PDGA rating — a -44 below form for Malachi Vazquez on a night the field averaged 61.1 strokes and he signed for 62. Nine strokes over his own 53.0 average, six rungs surrendered, #2 down to #8, which retroactively explains last week's silent five-position climb in a way nobody is going to enjoy. The Grim Appendix only transfers, never disappears, and after this one it's riding noticeably heavier through the mud flats. Episode five of The Deep Files, entered into the record along with everything else the river gave back.
Malachi Vazquez climbed from tag #7 to #2, gaining five positions; the round score and rating are unavailable, so there’s no performance receipt to explain the jump. In Draper Tide, the Grim Appendix’s bearer is suddenly near the top of the Brine Court ladder—a tidy treaty amendment, if not a scorecard verdict.
Malachi Vazquez is taking the Grim Appendix to Brine Court for Wednesday League. The tag’s shifting text suggests River Bottoms offers a different kind of compliance. A side quest in the main arc, now streaming live at the mud flats.
