Space Madness: Odic Profile

[virgil]

When performing an Odic Calibration, you can generate an in-depth profile of individuals who have been present in an area. Currently, there is no standard of what this profile would consist of, and as such I'm seeking to establish it.
[*]Name: The one they most commonly go by
[*]Species and Native cert, if any
[*]Threat Assessment
[*]Number of stress & cracks
[*]Complex emotions experienced

I want to include a frivolous detail in this, the options in the survey above. If you feel the profile should have more/less/different information, I'm all ears, especially if you're the author.

With the stars being right and all that, I lean toward horoscope. I’ll withhold my vote in case I’m persuaded otherwise.

I voted Horoscope. In Japan, Blood Type is used a lot like horoscopes, but it also has a history of excluding people/claims of superiority so using it might be problematic.

Blood type seems to be the most useful of those.
Which is why I'll go with Favorite Dessert (Revenge, anyone?)

Is being problematic inappropriate for Space Madness?

[Schleiermacher]

You should endeavor not to put things in your game that give cover to shitty people and their views. Especially when you're explicitly and spesifically doing it frivolously.

So yes, for Space Madness and for any game.

I was going to vote for Blood Type because of the first part, not having heard the second part before. So, horoscope, I guess.

Wikipedia Article about it

Blood type harassment, called "bura-hara" (wasei-eigo: a portmanteau of "blood" and "harassment"), has been blamed for bullying of children in playgrounds, loss of job opportunities, and ending of happy relationships.[41]



Many people have been discriminated against because of their blood type. Employers ask blood types during interviews despite the warnings they have been given. Children at schools have been split up according to their blood type. The national softball team has customized training to fit each player's blood type. Companies have given work assignments according to their employee's blood type.[42]

However, these episodes are thought to be more or less exaggerated—as well as horoscope addiction in Europe or the US, which is sometimes reported in Japan. No blood-type harassment trials have been reported, so far. In reality, most Japanese people don't think blood types determine their personalities, but affect it in some degree.[34][35

It may be out of tone for the game, but I love "Favorite Dessert" as a bit of comic relief and or grisly cannibal horror.
