Should you be kidnapped, restrained, jailed, or otherwise indisposed (like traveling abroad), the Unicore may detach from you either voluntarily, or be rejected in an emergency, and find other friends or allies to be safe with. From there, the Unicore can produce a hologram appearance of you remotely, that you are telepathically able to control from a great distance thanks to the Leylines. Whoever has imprisoned you will not be able to tell that you are controlling the Unicore and hologram at the same time. The hologram allows you to speak, hear, and perceive the world around you, and also move around, but it does not allow Combat, and the moment anyone attacks the Unicore it immediately shuts down until Combat is over. This Mechanic in essence allows you to continue roleplaying while indisposed, and potentially plot against your captors. Care should be taken to ensure that the Minecaft skin you are using looks more like a hologram projection than the flesh and blood you, ask for help from other players if need be. | Should you be kidnapped, restrained, jailed, or otherwise indisposed (like traveling abroad), the Unicore may detach from you either voluntarily, or be rejected in an emergency, and find other friends or allies to be safe with.

The Ley Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Ley Point Buy provides Packs for your Character to become proficient in using or hacking Dragon technology as fueled by the ancient Leyline system. They do this by creating their own Unicore (a sort of drone), a more simplified version of a Dragon's Soulcore (a more advanced drone with a complex personality) that acts as a semi-sentient supercomputer that can access functions of the Leylines and thus call upon Elderlaw, which is reality-enforcing Magic only accessible to Dragons. Ley Point Buy can be invested in by both pro and anti-Dragon/Draconist Characters. Keep in mind, however, that Draconists and Archon consider the Leylines the be under the sole ownership of Dragons. Dragon-aligned Characters may act hostile to your Character if they feel they are impeding on their property, as they often feel they should be the only ones allowed to interact with Leyline machines.
Free Packs
If at least one Proficiency Point is invested in Ley Point Buy, the following Packs are given for free.
Protocol Coding
You have created one or more Unicore drones, capable of independent thought and interacting with the Leylines, either by following the instructions of Draconist-aligned forces or by hacking and stealing the information from the system. A Unicore is about the size of a person's head and can have any metallic configuration, though usually appears like a levitating eye optic. Your Unicore grants you access to the Leylines. Anytime Archon or Dragon-aligned forces should receive information from the Leylines, your Character receives it too. The Unicore can also do simple functions around the house, but cannot engage in Combat and cannot leave your side. You may have your Unicore speak with a personality independent of your Character.
Protocol Detect
Your Unicore connects you to the Leylines and allows you to listen in, but it also listens back to you, and you cannot always decide what is being shared. This is a blessing and a curse, allowing you to detect non-Magic Disguises on other Unicore users. If you encounter a person who has Protocol Detect also, and they are using a non-Magic Disguise, you can see through their Disguise, this also applies to you in return. If you or they use a Magic Disguise, however, the identity remains hidden. Magic inherently always obfuscates the functioning of Dragon Machines.
Ley Point Buy Packs
Protocol Scout
Protocol Scout instructs the Unicore to act as a conduit for further use of your powers on your Allies. It grants the following Ability.
Name | Type | Range | Cooldown | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Protocol Scout | Instant Technique | Emote Range | N/A | Up to 5 times per Combat, Target an Ally and apply Protocol Scout. Target Ally is now considered "In Range" of all of your next Ability or Attack Emotes. This Action does not consume Turn. |
Protocol Rewind
If you or your Ally does something detrimental/stupid/ignorant/mistaken during a Divinium Summoning/Demon Duke Summoning/Other kinds of Greater Entity interactions (like Gods, or Arken), the Unicore will automatically detect this, and force a localized time rewind with Elderlaw Magic until before the mistake, and then explain what mistake was made. This Mechanic must be Emoted at the start of any such encounter because DM's will not know your Proficiency spread going into it. This Mechanic can only be used once per Scene/Summoning, even if there are more Unicores present. If you are using it for yourself, there is a 30-day cooldown per DM, even if that DM is playing different Characters in different plotlines, you cannot re-use this Pack on the same DM in that period. If you are using it to save a friend’s error, the cooldown applies both to you and your friend, regardless if they have the Pack or not.
Protocol Photon
The Unicore is upgraded with a photonic projector, allowing it to produce realistic false images that are indistinguishable from the real thing. This means that you gain the ability to use visual illusions and obfuscations without the use of Magic. However, because the Unicore is always present, and its optical lens shows the projector, they are obviously illusions, though can still be used to obfuscate with proper planning. Additionally, Mechanics that would allow someone to see through illusions don't work on Protocol Photon. Finally, Protocol Photon can also change your Appearance to the degree it is classified as a Disguise. Combat removes all illusion projections, except the Disguise you are using until you reach 0 HP.
Protocol Gateway
The Unicore is able to create a duplicate entryway into any realm, location, or distant place that you have visited before with the Unicore. For example, if someone with a Custom Kit or Mechanic leads you into a secret realm, the Unicore will duplicate the location matrix and is able to create a Leyline Portal at your chosen location that will also lead to that location. You must request the portal placement and its hooked location in a Staff Ticket, but Staff may decline certain requests. Only one Portal may exist at any time.
Protocol Analysis
The Unicore allows you to perform a deep scan and analysis of otherworldly entities, objects, places, and Greater Entities. This allows your Character (if they are aware that someone is a Demon), to analyze their origins and Alignment, as well as their threat. This can also be used on Aloria-born people or entities that you may suspect are actually a God or Greater Entitiy in hiding to reveal their nature, however, be aware that this is telegraphed and the entity may not like being revealed. Additionally, this Mechanic grants deep analysis of the sentient peoples of Aloria, but whatever information comes out of such an analysis, should be discussed with consent between you and the person you are using it on.
Protocol Debate
The Unicore is necessarily always more charismatic than you when it comes to conversing with machines. This includes player characters such as Automata (including flesh and blood Characters with a Unimatrix for brain) or remote-controlled Mech-suits, and even Event machines such as Dewamenet Warmechs or Dragon Soulcores. The Unicore can use Protocol Debate to use Persuasion as if using it from Speech Point Buy, except using the number of Proficiency Points invested in Ley Point Buy Packs, instead of Proficiency Points invested in Charisma Point Buy Packs. All other rules apply normally.
Protocol Eject
Should you be kidnapped, restrained, jailed, or otherwise indisposed (like traveling abroad), the Unicore may detach from you either voluntarily, or be rejected in an emergency, and find other friends or allies to be safe with. From there, the Unicore can produce a hologram appearance of you remotely, that you are telepathically able to control from a great distance thanks to the Leylines. Whoever has imprisoned you will not be able to tell that you are controlling the Unicore and hologram at the same time. The hologram allows you to speak, hear, and perceive the world around you, and also move around, but it does not allow Combat, and the moment anyone attacks the Unicore it immediately shuts down until Combat is over. This Mechanic in essence allows you to continue roleplaying while indisposed, and potentially plot against your captors. Care should be taken to ensure that the Minecaft skin you are using looks more like a hologram projection than the flesh and blood you, ask for help from other players if need be.
