The shard

Where Slate comes from

The oldest shard on the grid, off the part of the night that had been dark longest. Slate has seen every section type the generator can draw and has an opinion about all of them, none of it enthusiastic.

How Slate races

Slate takes the first serious hit in every section and simply refuses most of it. Not a swerve, not a block — the impact arrives and less of it lands than should have. It happens once per section, and Slate spends the rest of each one racing normally and looking put out.

The signatureSeen It

The first heavy contact of a section, absorbed. The second one hurts exactly as much as it should.

The voice

Hear Slate

“ho-ho-hoh”

The veteran as a kindly grandpa chuckle. Low and warm, falling gently. Pick a mood and Slate says it that way.

In the race mix: D3, 147 Hz. The first hard hit of every section is dropped from the mix entirely. Slate’s signature is a hole in a busy texture.

Rivalry

Slate vs Amber

The Immovable Object

One is a heavy hit. One is immune to the first hit of every section.

Amber's whole race is heavy contact, and Slate's whole race is refusing exactly one heavy contact per section. So the first time Amber arrives, it does not work. The second time, at full price, it works perfectly. The rivalry is a question of whether Amber can be patient, and Amber is not built for patience.

Slate cannot choose which hit to spend it on. Amber cannot choose to wait. Both flaws are load-bearing.
