If both teams are fully mission control teams, then their main objective is to defeat the opposing team's objects as many times as possible within the time limit. They can also leave mission control in order to accomplish missions if they use a mobile unit or mobile device.
Some bosses are a bit "larger than life," but the "strings are attached." in order to defeat these bosses, the player must find whatever is controlling these bosses.
Some teams have a single mission controller, but some teams are entirely made of mission controllers. Mission controllers use SATELLITES and OBJECTS to attack as in TOWER DEFENSE games. Some mission controllers are mobile, but others are stationary. Both types have their perks.
The next Marionette is SWEEPS. SWEEPS is able to stalk its prey's devices if the prey has a connection to any other wireless device or network. SWEEPS moves slow, though, so the other Marionettes help it maintain control of its prey.
Naturally, when THE ANKOL HEROES first hear about the HEARTGUARD game, they show to the venue to investigate. Players participate in the game in teams of five. The game is made to reveal the Marionette problem. THE ANKOL HEROES want to take the over the game to HUSH it.
HUSH is technically with good guys and guys, but only because he doesn't know how to deal with the bad guys. He HUSH-es everyone about the MARIONETTES except for his group, THE ANKOL HEROES, so the HEROES can solve the problem on their own!
The PLAYER is always IN THEIR WAY.
The Marionette named SHUSH gathers information from the informed. The Marionette named ThisThat leaks that information to public news sources in perfect detail, sometimes LIVE and IN THE MOMENT if an affected individual is near A THIRD MARIONETTE WITH ANOTHER NOTORIOUS NAME...
Every character in this is human.
Haggling Jack is homeless, but his info is choice. He's not lazy.
Sawd seems rude until people see how her prospective sorority sisters treat her.
Babyface appears conceited until people see that his frat brothers jack his new inventions.
This game is not all cards! Some items affect how a player moves, how their digi-weapons work, their hierarchy on their team, and even slight modifications to stats. Some items might even give the player a special advantage, but other items may open secrets on maps!
Sir Castiq and Milley, after a harmful run-in with a "real life mage" during a game of HeartGuard, dedicate themselves to stopping the magic. The developers give them a new card called "NO MAGIQ" to prove that the forbidden magic cards have nothing to do with the game.
A Marionette's heart is never in its own chest. As it says:
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 7:13.)
X marks the spot.
Hagglin' Jack's data is invaluable to the developers of the game within this game called "HeartGuard." He has no choice but to work with the developers to destroy the problem, the Marinettes, from the inside.
He studies. He mumbles. He hurts. He rests. He has no choice.
Hagglin' Jack is an exception of a Jack. Not exceptional, but an exception. The other Jacks may or may not have stolen work from him. He is homeless because he can't get his work back from them without trouble. The other Jacks tend to banish "threats" from the City of Ankol.
One of the Marionettes, SHUSH, can hear everything that an individual says, down to if the affected individual breathes it under their breath. It can hear every tiny whisper. An area goes quiet when it shows. Hagglin' Jack draws his fire like a RODEO CLOWN by mumbling on his way.
The puppetmasters in this series run their own marionettes, each marionette with a unique nickname. The marinettes are masked, hooded executioner that represent hundreds of thousands of hackers and the effects hackers accidentally cause. Marionettes are as if "cyber ghosts."
There are two games going within this game. The first is the eSport, but the second game is the deadly Game of the Marionettes. The eSport is PRACTICE.
One must destroy a Marinette's heart in order to kill it. Hackers cannot win unless people lose heart.
Hence: "HeartGuard."
