The Players

The Lopscotch 6 (LS6) are the 1701st Symmetry Break team, drawn together through an online AR-game personality test that looked typical and harmless right up until it was not. Every Symmetry Break team needs exactly one player for each of the six Values, and the LS6 fill that requirement six ordinary friends at a time: Felix as Swerve, Edwin as Verity, Doris as Design, Casey as Bridge, Blake as Shield, and Alana as Enigma.

Each of them also carries a shorthand group role. The roles are useful, but they should not flatten anyone down to a type: Felix is the wild card, Edwin is the thinker, Doris is the planner, Casey is the heart, Blake is the protector, and Alana is the puzzle-maker. Their friendship, not their function, is what actually holds the team together.

Design-wise, all six are clearly Rabbitkind with distinct silhouettes; ears do a lot of the expressive work. Their pre-game designs read as ordinary Haven youth, and whatever development happens to them in the Blur is meant to intensify traits they already have rather than hand them arbitrary new costumes.

Felix · Swerve · Wild Card

The friend who survives surprise by becoming more surprising than the world.

Edwin · Verity · Thinker

The skeptic who must learn that truth is only useful if it does not become paralysis.

Doris · Design · Planner

The organizer who must learn that good structure bends before it breaks.

Casey · Bridge · Heart

The heart whose gift for connection can become salvation or catastrophe.

Blake · Shield · Protector

The quiet protector who must learn that protection is not containment.

Alana · Enigma · Puzzle-Maker

The mystery-bearer who must learn that being hard to understand is not the same as being useless.
