Hell. I should have had expected that the cliche whether I want it or not, would find its way all the way to here. Well, as long as it does not display HP, MP, and STA, it's enough, I guess...
And yet, what's wrong with my affiliation? Seriously? Did someone find out that I faked joining here?... Shouldn't be the case, but I for one, can't neglect the existing probability. I should ask Lacrimosa about this later. Well, I could just ask Amadea, but no, not in this dense scenario... Maybe I, alone have this problem and if I ask now, it would only cause suspense to rise. I don't want that.
Amadea Mozart then continued her extrapolation.
”As you can see, this is your 'Persona Interface' PI for short. In here, your personal information has been displayed. You have three Segments there as you can see... 1) Profile, 2) Re: Characterization Database, 3) General Information. And it's not only you who have this interface, but everyone who has sparks of stellarly sufficient intelligence in this realm.”
Stellarly sufficient? Hmm... That makes me wonder on what basis do they judge that upon.
”Under the profile segment, you could see your name, your affiliation, and your Crusade Pass. As you can see, the affiliation there writes what Armada you chose, and in the crusade pass, you could see what type of participant are you, whether if you're a Herrscher or a Contender, which is, of course, pertaining to those who have signed no contract with a deity. You also have there, two 'Kill Counts', which I don't need to explain... Under the Re: Characterization Segment, we will discuss that lastly”
”The third and last segment which is the 'General Information' showcases statistical data that all of you share which is, of course, updated daily. There you could see the Sentient Contender Count, or the SCC and the Herrscher count which pertains to how many Herrschers are left. For now, all of the Herrschers are alive and well, but as for the contenders, they're not doing fine.” So, the deity briefly exclaimed, leaving no rooms for plausible questions.
Everyone's face wore gloom for a bit as they saw the drastic change in numbers. From 300 thousand to now 11 thousand. And it's still decreasing. Everyone, seeing that, is able to feel the ardent rush and self-inflicted pressure to do the Re: Characterization Process and finish it as early as they can.
”So, what is this Re: Characterization? Just tell us!”
”As I have already said. This is where you become subject to the Ethereal Paradigm. This is where you will voluntarily foist changes to yourselves for your own survival in a realm filled with what you are widely acquainted as 'Magic', 'Alchemy' and whatsoever. Okay, now, as everyone is eager to do it, please do listen and do my instructions carefully”
”FIrst. Click on the 'Re: Characterization Database. You could see those question marks, don't you?”
Everyone, then hastily clicked as they took heed of the instructions...and so did I.

What the hell is this? Where are the question marks? Everything's filled! First, my affiliation is all that '!^#%#%#&' and now, there's this thing called 'Requiem Aranea' in the list with this minus lifespan-thingy.
As I wondered why my Persona Interface's content very much differed from everyone's, I continued to bombard myself with questions while everyone was like...
”Yes, we now see the question marks, what should we do next?”
I'm left out... Yet still, I need to continue fake-clicking if I don't want to raise eyebrows.
