Three young men sit before you. While not enough time has passed to fully phase out the gene-score placement system, these boys already showed great initiative and promise. Only one will succeed you.
The first is <span class="mu-s">Hwat Dulioan</span>. Beyond his strong aesthetic sense and level headedness, he is known for his incredible talent with simulation and interactive games and fictions. His favorites are strategy and defense games; and he is also the world record holder for longest defended city in a specific game- the “Unassailable Cities” interactive entertainment software, where everyone in the world can team up their forces to attack and raid the cities of other players. His personality is laid back, confident, though perhaps a bit too casual for a position as sacred and important as the Supreme Ruler. You cannot be a <span class="mu-i">friend</span> to your subjects, but their <span class="mu-i">ruler</span>. Unlike the other two, he seems to take the possibility of him becoming the Supreme Ruler less serious- either “it happens or it doesn't”, he once said. You hope he matures out of this carefree attitude as he is given more power and responsibilities; no matter what position he finds himself in.
The second is <span class="mu-s">Tetak Kallas</span>. He's an alpha male. His eyes shoot in surprise as you inspect his face closer then the other two. Tetak is unremarkable academically, and most of his physical records are on par with most Alpha Males in the strength and fitness categories. His main accomplishments are in the realm of research and creating unproven theories of connection between “supernatural” phenomena, including the Starsight, Space Worms, and Liminals. His seeming interest in this field may be a hint of some kind of transgressive mindset. You don't see much value in his selection, though his bloodline and ethical record are solid.
The third is <span class="mu-s">Cijan Anak</span>. His primary field of study was historical and societal; he has more experience then the other two- as he had a brief stint as an assistant to a State Philosopher on Jaxt. His physical records show an incomplete brain development given his “late bloomer” genotype- and his true level of adult onset IQ and intelligence may not be known- he has the potential for a much greater level of general intelligence. And is that... a bifurcated tail?! He tries to hide it behind his back as you notice. Ho ho, Cijan, do you still think this is the middle ages! The minor birth defect, if you could call it that, is not caused by genetic drift but instead by a rare random event that occurs in the womb. Perhaps he is nervous of having one- throughout most of your history, such a mutation would be seen as a sign of a witch-child, and were often trained as magicians and god-speakers, though they were also just as often killed. In modern times, it is of no real consequence, and merely a curiosity.
Which do you choose?
>Hwat
>Tetak
>Cijan
