Within The Archive there exists three main distinctions of member. These distinctions consist of Scribes, Worshipers, and Characters. Within each of these distinctions reside smaller groups that have various levels of power within their own distinction, and the greater Archive. One of those groups is known as The Path of Unedited Story Telling who believe that many of the ways that members of the Archives are able to alter their own story to gain levels, classes, racial ability slots, and the ability to easily avoid death leads to a lessening of the value of their stories. Through either rather selection or through volunteers they apply a mark onto the story of certain members to align them more with what they believe will lead to a good story.
THE PATH OF UNEDITED STORY TELLING-
Upon receiving of this mark on their story the receiver is reset to level 0, and blocked off from any of The Archive's systems that work by editing one's personal story.
-This means the user can not get any classes normally
-This means the user's starting universals will not level up through traditional means
-This means the user will not receive racial points.
-This means that the user will not be brought back to life by Archive resources if they die while on a mission.
-This means the user DOESN'T LEVEL UP
In Exchange for these detriments The Path of Unedited Story Telling's members were forced to also give two benefits with the mark
-The User gets to spend 45 points on STATS instead of the usual 15 at the start. (If this is taken after having already started then they get to redistribute the 15 points already spent.)
-The User will find that their actions result in personal growth at a rate slightly faster then normal.
Taking this ability by choice is generally considered a mistake, and those who receive this ability at random are generally considered canon fodder for inter-Archive politics.
