Diagnostic Inquiry 01

When you walk through the French Quarter at twilight, what draws your focus first?

[A] The cold, steady weight of the church spire rising above the noise. [B] The faint, intoxicating scent of spicy lilies drifting from a locked courtyard gate. [C] The bass-heavy pulse radiating from the neon-lit club basements. [D] The quiet, watching presence of those who stand in the shadows, guarding the corners.

Diagnostic Inquiry 02

The room turns freezing cold. A high-pitched, needle-thin shriek begins to vibrate directly inside your skull—a broadcast trying to claim your marrow. How do you react?

[A] I interlock my hands with my partner, using the weight of our shared bond to absorb the shockwave. [B] I retreat to an interior sanctuary, holding onto a pure, uncorrupted memory until the noise passes. [C] I hum a chaotic, off-key counter-melody to scramble their signal and break their focus. [D] I step directly into the cold, gripping my weapon and anchoring my feet into the salt.

Diagnostic Inquiry 03

You discover that your family line owes a debt written in blood—an ancestral promise that threatens to harvest your very autonomy. What is your recourse?

[A] I submit myself to a higher Authority, seeking baptism and the seal of a new Kingdom to overwrite the claim. [B] I throw myself into the night, risking everything to break the window and escape the cage. [C] I laugh at the absurdity of it, turning my back on both the coven and the pews to live on my own terms. [D] I take up penance and prayer, offering my own comfort to shield others from paying the price.

Diagnostic Inquiry 04

In the war against the unseen, which instrument do you instinctually reach for?

[A] The Crown of Tears Rosary—forty-nine white beads to restore order to a corrupted atmosphere. [B] The Eucharist and Holy Chrism—the invincible, sacred armor of the Sacraments. [C] A piece of debris smoothed by the tide—a secret anchor that belongs to no one else. [D] A gold-tipped spear and a bucket of coarse salt—raw, physical fortification for the wall.

Diagnostic Inquiry 05

What is the greatest risk you face when standing at the perimeter?

[A] Letting my frequency sync so deeply with another that I lose my own ground. [B] Faltering under the heat of the broadcast before my vessel can be fully sealed. [C] Getting bored of the rules and letting my guard down when the enemy is listening. [D] Becoming so focused on the monsters in the dark that I forget the Light I swore to protect.
