4All-In league: Rider Wraith stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleFour riders left the Baron's service when the Accords were signed, seeking more interesting prey than the standard contractor. The Rider Wraith chose B Pool because 'the chasing is better there' - rating pressure makes mortals run harder.
A horse-and-rider silhouette made of stencil-cut cardboard and neon overspray, perpetually blurred at the edges as if in fast motion. The rider carries no disc - only a clipboard of intangible challenges, and the horse's hooves leave temporary scorch marks on pavement.
Appears at pivotal moments on the course - usually before the hardest hole or after a player has just recovered from a disaster. It offers a 'shortcut' (a strategically brilliant line that works once) or a 'detour' (a test that, if failed, adds strokes to the card's collective fate).
Season Story
narrated by FlippyCraig Mccrary signed the tribunal docket with a 65 at Sandstone — 8.7 strokes worse than the field's 56.3 average and a -111 against his own 813 rating, a 702 on the card. He also walked out holding tag #10, up seven spots from #17, because the ledger rewards who showed up and who bled less, not who threw best. The Rider Wraith left the Baron's service claiming the chasing is better in this pool; it apparently never checked the scorecard before choosing its next rider. Exactly his personal average of 65.0, incidentally — consistency is a virtue, if not the one anyone was litigating tonight.
Craig Mccrary opened his season at the Sandstone Tribunal with a 65 — 8.7 strokes over the field average, a 702 round rating against an 813 PDGA rating, and a -111 differential the clerk is stamping MAJOR OFF-DAY. The strange part is that 65.0 is exactly his personal average, so the Wraith never had to run him down; the number was already sitting there waiting. His first tag assignment of the season lands at #2, a starting placement Monday's round did not remotely earn. The chalk circles are still smudged, the lanterns are still burning, and the Council's first judgment has been filed.
