The curator holds the head seat at the table and has the casting vote.At the same time, it is the curator who presents ideas and solutions based on the study of patterns and multi-scenario simulations, before execution. These are then debated in the council and discussed at length before coming to a decision. The Curator can also veto council’s opinion but if proven wrong, must pay a certain price. The price can be as simple as his opinion is not given an audience during the next decision or he simply loses his voting and veto authorities for the next session. These are but a few ‘prices’ he pays for vetoing the whole council.

This character is the protector of your life’s philosophies. He guards your value systems, your theology, and your belief system. His opinion is based on the knowledge and wisdom you have gathered over the decades. He is the only one who holds the power to veto even the curator, in instances where he feels strongly about something, which  goes against his gathered wisdom. He is the one who has created insights and his own meanings, reading and learning from the greatest philosophers of all time. This character’s core is based on being optimistic. He’s the cloaked do-gooder in the group as well. He is most trusting among the  table-group and would see the best in people until he’s betrayed. He gets along  uite well with the relentless learner but not so much with the stubborn pacifist.

He’s quite an imaginative character always on the lookout for opportunities. He finds creative ways to grab every opportunity and often comes across as selfish in trying to get the best deal. He’s a bit mischievous too, and likes to create colourful solutions to keep himself (and sometimes others) entertained. He gets along well with the inventive-choreographer but not so well with the blind-logistician.

This character carries a unique perspective of always telling the  story from the others’ perspective. He’s always in the others’ shoes. He is able to empathise with someone’s true nature and would provide insights as to why someone behaves in a certain way. He represents the other side and defends fearlessly. He is the one who falls in love with the enemy just before the final blow of the executioner, as in that very moment he is the one who truly understands the enemy. He is the one who slips people in your realms through a back door just because he feels for them. He is the only one whose such fouls go unpunished as he enjoys support from quite a few around the table including the curator. He will always show the table, the other side of the coin. He is usually the one who stands tall in front of the blind-logistician and the executioner and seeks support from the Philosopher and the relentless learner.

As the name suggests, this character only operates through logic and has no other way of seeing things but from the critical lens of logic. He is equipped with the mastery of observing patterns and finding logical flaws in even the most complex of the arguments. He’s a
master of inference and deduction – quite literally the Sherlock Holmes on the table. He does not understand emotions and regard them as irrational and a waste of one’s time and energy.

He is an inventive choreographer. When a decision has been reached by the Council the curator then turns to him to execute the decision ruthlessly and flawlessly. He  choreographs it to perfection and delivers the requested outcome with speed and precision. Once the button is pushed, there’s no stopping him. He will only stop once the task is complete. He is quite inventive in nature and has the capability to theorise and invent an original execution strategy on-the-go. Which makes him extremely reliable in getting things done. His choreographed solutions and situations are so well rounded that they are inspirational. As anyone would have guessed, he gets along quite well with the blind-logistician.

He wears the Black Hat. His main role is to always think of an apocalyptic scenario in every situation. He carries a perspective as to how and why things would go wrong. He is quite difficult to convince as to why thing won’t go wrong. He always sees the dark side of the situation and has a keen eye for the risks and perils of the journey. His main job is to always be ready with Plan B and Plan C, just in case things go south, and pre-emptively collaborate with the ruthless Executioner.

This character is your sixth sense, third eye and intuition all packed into one. The fortune Whisperer relates to the energies in the universe and represents that gut feeling you have about certain situations or individuals. But these fortune telling whispers must be tuned in to, nurtured, trusted and acted upon, in order to achieve a reliable kinaesthesia state. My fortune whisperer has reached to almost a state of clairvoyance and knowing things before they happen, and this is based on the constant feedback I receive from people around me. The Key to sharpen your sixth sense and Proprioceptive sensors is to tune in and listen to them. Act on what they are  suggesting, give them the wheel and let them learn through trial and error. The more you pay attention to those subtle whispers, the louder and more effective they become. This has worked well for me over the years.

This is one of my dearest characters. He has this unquenchable thirst for knowledge. He would read about anything, learn from anyone. His main ability is to be like a sponge with an almost infinite power to absorb knowledge. He is a hoarder of books, theories, philosophies, varying point of views, inventions, discoveries, history, arts, skills, crafts, dark age knowledge to the most modern knowledge or the knowledge that is yet to be discovered, rare manuscripts, and countless more… Over a period of decades he has mastered the art of cataloguing knowledge in the Memory Warehouse. His time horizon for knowledge is infinity to infinity, that is, from the beginning of time to the end of time. This horizon enables him to maintain a perspective that is not bound by a few centuries plus or minus, but rather a perspective that is independent of space and time.
