Jutu+color image


Jutu is the color of dexterity, agility, and flexibility.  Beyond reflexes and fine motor skills, it encapsulates one's ability to manipulate his or her environment, use technological devices, and concepts such as space and dimensionality.  

With Yun, Jutu represents freedom and oppression.  Corporeal and symbolic bondage is no match for a thriving and liberated people.

With Pfi, Jutu comprises logical thought, craft/technology, and the devices and structures yielded by those efforts.  Rogues depend especially on dexterity and intelligence to operate.

With Glei, Jutu carries the element of storm with the season of spring.  Since both dexterity and perception are needed for marksmanship, these colors include all range attacks or abilities as well.

Ela and Rha are the colors with the least in common with Jutu.  Jutu usually occupies the space between unconscious thought and necessary action, with little time to actively think or feel.  Conversion and stealing might both change the control of a person or object, but they do so in fundamentally different ways.

A rebellious rogue might be a good example of a Jutu based character.  Striving for freedom (Yun) by subverting authority (Ela Rha) through theft and inventive heists (Pfi) that keep her one step ahead of, and out of sight of, authorities (Glei).  The real question is whether her plan will work or backfire spectacularly (PfI). 

Buzz Aldrin might be a good example of a real world Jutu based character.  Not only was he one of the first people to fly through outer space and land on the moon, his experience as a fighter pilot and high school quarterback are also relevant.  Though he said, "homework was my nemesis," he overcame his challenges with education, eventually writing a doctoral degree on line-of-sight guidance techniques.

Jutu maps most closely to the classic color Yellow Green or Chartreuse Green:

Hex: 80FF00
RGB: (128, 255, 0)
HSV: (90, 100, 100)

Other associations:

  • Preveral or late winter (in six-season calendars)

 

Ohm+color image


Ohm represents the absence of the other colors.  Sometimes considered a color, other times a tone, it defies definition.  Classically associated with the primes of Death, Order, and Good, it could just as easily apply to Life, Chaos, and Evil.  It is said that all things begin as Ohm before showing their true colors.

When paired with any other single color, Ohm brings out the essence of that color.  As a result, mono-colored Ohm cards are stronger than other cards, but lack the versatility of multi-colored cards.  Ohm can also appear alone.

Few keywords naturally fit within Ohm, as the absence of other colors strongly implies that Ohm cards do not exist or have no effects.  Thus, concepts such as the Void or the Basic keyword often fall to Ohm.

Ohm maps most closely to the classic color Gray:

Hex: 808080
RGB: (128, 128, 128)
HSV: (0, 0, 49)

Other associations:

  • Light / Darkness
  • Mirrors
  • Concealment / Hidden
  • Exile
