   "The Space In Between" is the name of a bar/ bed and breakfast that mysteriously exists in one of the voids within The Rift. All magic, including powers used by Guardians, is nullified. It serves as neutral ground. Entry and exit is done via well-hidden portals in other worlds that constantly stay open. The appearance inside is a typical dive bar. While cluttered with all kinds of kitschy decor, it is clean and well-organized. The bar is staffed by a sole proprietress named Isobel.

Cool, calm, inviting. Always excited for visitors and loves having long conversations. Background: Her origin is mysterious, as she is not from the real world, and cannot leave the bar. She has omnipotent powers, and knows where all the visitors of The Rift are at all times; something that not even Guardians can tell. She will occasionally trade information obtained with her omnipotence to patrons in exchange for an item that is sentimental to the patron, and a lengthy, emotionally-driven, painful story about their lives. If she deems the story boring, the trade is cancelled.

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    On occasion, people from the real world “fall” into The Rift when desperate to escape their reality. A portal to the rift opens to them unexpectedly. If they enter the portal, they are transported to a random world within the Rift. The Rift grants them power in the form of amplifying natural talents or traits. Sometimes these people are referred to as "recruits".

11. #11Weight of the Rift

    Keys: weight, burden

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    When a person becomes a Guardian, they feel a physical weight of their responsibility on their shoulders. It is noticeable at first, but fades into a minor inconvenience as they get used to the "weight of the world". If multiple Guardians exist, the weight becomes lighter as the burden is shared between them. If a Guardian retires, the weight is lifted entirely.
