a detour at the end of the internet

Conduit Briefing
Here's my expectation for content, let me know if you have any issues or would like to discuss any of this further.
Content is intended to be Rated R/TV-MA/M for Mature. Expect the potential for strong language, violence, drug/alcohol use/abuse, and other adult themes.
I will use these "lines" and "veils" to moderate certain content:
LINES (will not feature):
- Discussion of real-world politics, religion, or current events
- Out-of-character/real-world prejudice
- Sexual violence
VEILS (will "fade to black"):
- Explicit sexual content
- Extremely graphic depictions of violence
- Violence towards children, pets, and other innocents
I would like to use "stars" and "wishes" as a form of feedback. At session end, each player may share things they enjoyed, and want to experience more of (stars), and things they hope to experience (wishes) in future sessions.
Conduit Preferences
- I prefer to host for 1-3 players, 4 is my max
- Please send character sheets and focus words as soon as possible, if I don't receive them in a timely manner I will assume you have dropped from the game
- Focus words and short phrases only please
- Please do not invite players to my games without checking with me first (though feel free to make suggestions)
- PCCs are (nearly) always welcome, just give me a heads-up
- I generally host v2 or v1.5

Public Classes
Ember
A social-combat class grounded in the elementalist niche of fire manipulation and control.
Fortean
Whether a skeptic or a believer, your job is the same – observe, analyze, and uncover the truth. A Paranormal Investigator doesn’t wield magic and they don’t face monsters head-on. Instead they rely on logic, sharp instincts, and years of fieldwork to piece together the inexplicable. Gather evidence, follow leads, and make connections that no one else has noticed.
Inventor
The inventor is a brilliant, unpredictable genius who can jury-rig remarkable gadgets and contraptions from improbable resources. They combine their knowledge with a sprinkle of luck to build the right thing at the right time; or make the best of things if they don’t. Beware though, their creations are often as unstable as the Inventor themselves.
Jinx
Manipulating luck and probability, the Jinx excels in interacting with their environment and others, using their abilities to cause things to fail and people to experience unlucky setbacks. Jinxes thrive in chaotic situations, wreaking havoc in their wake.
Lithomancer
Hardy earth mage whose greatest asset is the ground beneath their feet. Versatile in combat, able to brawl and control the battlefield with equal ease, as well as gathering crucial intel before the fighting starts. A Player-Created Class by David Torres
Shonen
Hyperaggressive melee combat class with a combo-based playstyle, builds up to devastating special attacks. Though very vulnerable, their indomitable fighting spirit enables them to bounce back and grow stronger after each setback. A Player-Created Class by David Torres
Vizier
Calm under pressure and devastating in a public setting, Viziers destroy credibility, redirect command, and break down power structures.
