As Gilbert finishes introducing you to the new world to which you are being exiled, your vision darkens. A strange warmth surges throughout your body, and before long you suddenly find yourself in a brightly lit square. The ground is sandy, and around you are other people. As you look around, you notice several things; first, that the square is fringed with buildings made of assorted materials, and second, that the light is not artificial...in fact, you cannot see a sky. There appears to be a massive ceiling overhead, perhaps a couple hundred feet up, with built-in lights illuminating the interior.
Within several seconds of your arrival, your hands begin to warm, before they are nearly burning. They quickly return to normal, however; except for the item that has materialized within your grasp.
Rune: 3 + 0 (LUCK) = 3
A glowing sword appears in your hands...but was unfortunately made for a smaller lifeform.
Ethereal: 1 + 1 (LUCK) = 2
A slip of paper with what appears to be the name of a spell scrawled across it appears in your hands...but you can't read the language!
David: 4 + 0 (LUCK) = 4
As the item in your hands grow, you drop it! It appears to be a crudely constructed robot. It is functional.
Alex Raman: 1 + 0 (LUCK) = 1
A sharp piece of scrap metal appears in your hands. REFLEX: 2 + 0 = 2.
The metal cuts your hands as it appears. ENDURANCE: 2 + 1 (STR) = 3.
There is moderate bleeding, but you clench your teeth and swallow your pain.
Vot'el: 2 + 0 (LUCK) = 2
A bib appears. Just the thing to keep the blood off your shirt! You tie it around your neck hastily.
US-2497: 1 + 0 (LUCK) = 1
An explosive appears, an ironic gift from Swiffer! REFLEX: 5 + 2 (DEX) = 7
You chuck it away as it explodes, and it sails towards someone else! David - REFLEX: 2
The bomb explodes right in front of him, throwing shrapnel into his skin! David - ENDURANCE: 3 + 1 (STR) = 4
David's skin fills up with metal, but he remains standing. His robot is hit with shrapnel as well, but it bounces off harmlessly.
Erizen: 2 + 1 (LUCK) = 3
A small one-shot electroshock pistol appears in your artificial hands. It appears to be loaded.

A viper appears in your hands! REFLEX: 2 + 1 (DEX) + 1 (REFLEX) = 4.
You reflexively drop it, and it lands on the ground in a heap.
Bruce Sanford: 6 + 0 (LUCK) = 6

Faet: 5 + 0 (LUCK) = 5
A suit appears in your hands! It bristles with magical energy.
Jack: 5 + 0 (LUCK) = 5

Ethan Skynn: 6 + 0 (LUCK) = 6
A pair of glasses appears in your hands. As you put them on, you notice you can peer into the minds of others! WILL: 3 + 1 (IQ) = 4
You are slightly taken aback by the initial experience, but you get used to it quickly.
Nate: 5 + 0 (LUCK) = 5
A mustache appears in your hands. The perfect disguise!
Zack Abrams: 3 + 0 (LUCK) = 3
A thick book appears in your hands. The title reads, "A Comprehensive Look at the Aether"
You all look up from your item to see that everyone around you has received one as well. This could escalate out of control.
