A 931 round against a 945 rating — minus-14 in the ledger — and the #2 tag Tanner Shell carried into Urban Forest leaves as #5. The card reads 51, dead on his personal average, which would be a comfort if the field hadn't averaged 49.9; he handed back 1.1 strokes to the hunt while the Forest Lord rode. Episode eight, dusk arriving early, and those gold numerals drifting through the oaks got a shade closer.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleBorn from the Salt Lake Accords' most feared clause: rating decline is literal death. The Phantom was the first soul lost to a triple-bogey cascade in the original treaty signing, and now it lingers at scoreboards, flickering between numbers.
Manifests as flickering tournament scorecard numbers that materialize into a hooded spectral figure clutching a quill. The more a player's rating drops, the more solid and menacing the Phantom becomes. It leaves trails of gold numerals like ectoplasm.
Announces rating changes at each posting, serves as the season's primary antagonist and walking reminder that every bad round is a judgment rendered by the Accords.
