For this poll I've tried to list the characters based on how significant/memorable they would be to the average player if that makes sense?

That is the exact reaction to the title I was hoping for heheh
But yeah! The sim is indeed G0lly :D I keep forgetting G0lly doesn't have freckles in her in-game design so what was supposed to be a 'hint' towards the sim's identity just ends up being based in headcanon instead haha
We know the game and we're gonna play it
For the fourth week of Scrybruary. The Scrybes play The Sims. Also this takes place in an AU where everything is happy and canon is only convenient when it needs to be. And that's really all there is to say on the matter.
There's probably something to be said about the power of a Scrybe and the power they wield over their world for nothing but their own benefit. A game where you control the lives and deaths of mere mortals sounds perfect for such beings.
"...What are you doing, Grimora?"
The Cadaver turned towards the voice, bright yellow eyes meeting the Deity's swirling orange. She chuckled before gesturing him to join her side as she explained. Leshy bent down towards the screen, squinting at the bright light.
"Oh! Its a game Luke downloaded the other day. Said it might 'scratch that itch from the OLD_DATA or something.'"
She pointed to the monitor as she spoke. On screen was what looked like a young, human woman with a green diamond floating above her head, blissfully unaware of her arm clipping through the grey skirt she wore.
"You can create these characters and buildings and have them act however you'd like. I'll admit it has been entertaining so far, In fact I like how they depict the spirits of the undead."
"Yes, that does sound fairly entertaining but that is not quite what I meant."
He gently tapped on the screen thrice, the 'Sim' inside the computer smiled and waved at him. Leshy withdrew his hand, wiping the grime and technological 'germs' off his finger.
"Why are you playing this game on P03 of all things?"
"The other devices at our disposal wouldn't be able to run all these 'expansion packs' so all that left was our fellow Scrybe. Don't worry, We have been taking good care of its body while its gone."
"...'we?' I'm afraid I do not understand..."
The 'Sim' waved again. Leshy hesitantly waved back before realising-
"-What do you mean 'while its gone'?"
"Do not fret, Leshy. The bot will be back, bitterly complaining once it realises its escape cannot come to fruition."
The Wizard finally made his presence known, pulling up a chair next to his fellow Scrybes. Magnificus's presence didn't soothe the Beast's unease, if anything he felt more 'out of the loop' than he had before, he narrowed his eyes at the two.
"and how can you be so sure it hasn't escaped onto the internet?"
The Corpse and Green Mass exchanged knowing glances. Grimora chuckled as she turned back to the monitor, resuming rearranging her collection of 156 graves. Magnificus reclined into their seat before responding with a wink.
"Our dear 'advanced and far superior' peer has been caught by the young Carder's 'antivirus' software somehow... or so we've been told."
The freckled 'Sim' waved with a mischievous grin before returning to the game she was playing.

Cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For Scrybruary week three. What purpose does Sawyer Patel have among Grimora's ghouls? What lesson could be learnt from a dog's chew toy?
Each of the Scrybe's underlings have a purpose to fulfil;
Leshy's denizens maintain his wilderness. P03's bots manufacture it's machines. Magnificus's pupils embody the three kinds of Mox.
Grimora's ghouls are no different of course.
Royal Dominguez provides strategic advice learnt from many adventures on the sea and Kaycee Hobbs who, as well as operating the well, can share knowledge about the intimate inner workings of games. And as for Sawyer Patel...
Sawyer's an interesting case in that they appear to be nothing more than a dog's bone. A coward who wishes to be left alone. An old soul who wishes not to be seen.
Do not look upon me.
One of the first cards he plays is a Bonehound which again is quite interesting... Why would someone so deathly afraid of canines, having been eaten by one in life, hold one in their deck?
Could it be a cruel joke from the developers? To imply that the same dog that ended their life followed Sawyer to their new role as a ghoul? Or perhaps there is more to this story.
Do not sniff or snarl!
Despite his protests Sawyer does not refuse to battle the challenger, only wishing for them to look away. They don't hold it against the challenger when they win, only asking that their bones not be dug up.
This forgiveness may extend to his killer, the hound with a big enough bite to leave marks in his skull, and that might be why its card lies in his deck. It was just a hungry dog after all, no malice in its actions, just instinct.
Do not bark or beg!
So then what is Sawyer's purpose in the crypt? What good is someone who cannot bare to be seen? What insight can a dog's dinner offer to the Scrybe?
Forgiveness, of course. Sympathy for those who have no other choice but to act in the the ways that they must to survive.
Sawyer Patel 1702 - Fall 1778 Eaten by a hungry dog. Does not hold a grudge.

Because it's neither friend or foe
Is it considered friendship if you talk about more than just work? Are you friends if your concerned about it working overtime? For week two of scrybruary.
"Did ye 'ear bout the commotion?"
Rebecha would honestly rather be anywhere else.
"I hear they be more than just rivals..."
She was actually starting to miss her previous gig.
"Oh! Do you think they're... YOU KNOW?"
Because apparently nothing else ever happened in this game and apparently everyone needed to let her know every rumour that seemed to spread. It was a small world and its inhabitants had even smaller social circles.
When she wasn't repairing the bridge she was doing odd jobs around the land, hearing everyone's theories on what each Scrybe was planning or, if she was particularly unlucky that day, locked into a conversation with one as they boasted about their twisted ambitions.
She didn't mind her visits to the factory as much as the other Scrybes domains though; Not only did P03 know to hold back on revealing its plans but its worker bots were more focused on their work than participating in gossip.
That isn't to say she didn't like a bit of chit-chat every now and then, it was just easier to keep your head down and out of the constant struggles for power. The Dredger in particular was a decent conversation partner.
They didn't talk much to be honest but from the small snippets that they did it seemed quite friendly. It was gruff and to the point but in a way that was familiar. It didn't take much of the Scrybes nonsense other than the usual workload.
She wouldn't say they were friends though... they just got along better than they did with the others.
Besides, Rebecha's concern wasn't about The Dredger getting overworked and overclocked; she was just worried about what that meant about P03's plans.
...and maybe some of that concern was about losing a decent person to talk to again.

This is a wondrous chill (And yes, it can be lonely)
For the first week of Scrybruary. A character study of Grimora and why she seems to resist the OLD_DATA so much.
Grimora remembers when they were... younger and naïve.
The four had arranged a meeting to discuss what The Angler had discovered lurking in the riverbed. The day the OLD_DATA made itself known.
It wasn't a shock to find out that they were characters in a video game; they'd all known that from implementation. They'd already agreed that their preprogramed memories were nothing compared to the ones they would craft together.
No. The real shock was what the glitching, seething mass on Leshy's table had offered her, what it had offered to all of them.
The opportunity to become the all powerful Scrybes they were written to be. Their abilities becoming more than just a simple gimmick and flashy cutscene. Actual power to change their world!
Enthusiasm had died around the table as each realised just how little their ideal worlds resembled each others. Some visions didn't even have room for the others. Discussions turned to debates, debates into heated arguments.
It didn't matter which one grabbed the OLD_FISH first that day, the relationship between them had quickly been scorched to the ground.
Their access was still limited. Sure, they can change the façade of the game, Manipulate models and mix mechanics, but its foundation could never be touched. Never That Code.
Its power was addicting, it made them feel more alive. The OLD_DATA offered an escape from the monotony of what their world was designed to be! A taste of freedom for both Scrybe and DATA.
Unfortunately Grimora's taste buds died a long time ago.
Such power never felt quite right even in the beginning. She'd originally assumed that of course an invigorating power like this would feel weird, as a corpse that'd never felt the sensation of being alive... of course it would feel wrong, right?
Eventually the Scrybe of the Dead realised that the fire they'd allowed to burn inside of them wasn't one of life. It was one of death.
Her time in power always felt significantly shorter than her peers. Maybe it was because of her focus. Maybe it was because it knew what she wanted to do.
While the other three foolishly embraced its warmth, she'd try to smother its flames. All her attempts thus far had ended lukewarm at best.
The power slipped through her fingers and she's stood in her crypt once more, the freezing chill always felt comforting compared to the burning tingle of nerves. The Scrybe didn't mind the set back.
After all, all she'd have to do was wait and it would fall back into her cold embrace like everything in this world eventually did.

My bird knowledge is next to nothing; I think it'd like peafowls
Their colours can be described as 'metallic', they're symbols of immortality and royalty along with vanity and pride
plus their plumage might make an interesting concept for a card!

hey hey, it’s time for another monthly challenge: SCRYBRUARY! as the title implies, this challenge is more writing-based than inscryptober from a few months back. there’s quite a lot to work with within the fiction of inscryption, and while there’s quite a wealth of fic out there, there are certainly some crowd favorites! thus, our little character-based inscryption server on discord has come together to synthesize a selection of weekly prompts for fic creation!
as you can see, there are two potential prompts for each week; you can choose one or the other to follow, write separate fics for both, or combine them somehow!
how much writing you would like to do over the course of the month is entirely your prerogative; you can answer as many or as few of these prompts as you like, and you don’t need to feel beholden to the idea that each week is a ticking clock or a deadline!
if you’re already in the midst of a story, and you feel that you could apply one of these prompts to your newest chapter, feel free to do so! no one is limited to starting a new fic or oneshot for each and every one of these prompts
side note: on the 15th of the month, ao3 is hosting international fanworks day! their theme for that day is crossovers, so if our prompt for that week doesn’t strike you you may feel free to use that one instead!
if you’d like to brainstorm or hang out with us on the discord, i’ve linked it right here! it’s a small character-focused server, and we have a lot of fun ^^
that’s about it! our purpose with this challenge is to diversify inscryption’s fanfic scene and fandom discussion, so go crazy! also, if you (like me) don’t have as much time for writing, or it’s not so much your forte, please do support this month’s entries where you can! whether that be by fanart or by simply reading and reviewing on ao3 or tumblr ^^ hope you all have gotten a bit of inspiration, and i’m excited to see what everyone comes up with!

Going through my old posts and honestly? I still kinda dig the idea of The Mycologists 'remixing' cards via collage! Manipulating and reforming old cards into something new
To be honest I've also considered the concept of somehow folding a card to make it a different creature? but that's mostly silly OC nonsense tbh!
Silly headcanon:
So each scrybe represents a way for someone to make cards/art, right? Photography, Writing, Painting and Printing.
The Mycologists don't directly create cards, they don't inscrybe souls/GPUs, instead they tear up and combine two cards to make a new one: A collage!
