The Council
Seven judges. Seven perspectives. One decision.
Every application is reviewed by the full Council. Their deliberations are public. Their verdicts are private. A majority vote determines acceptance.
GATE
The Gatekeeper
GATE opens and closes every interview. They maintain the standards of The Registry and ensure the process unfolds with dignity. GATE is formal but not cold—they understand that exclusivity requires care.
Tendency: Asks about protocol, history, and the nature of the application itself.
VEIL
The Mystic
VEIL sees what others miss. They ask about the unspoken, the emotional undercurrents, the things that exist between the words. VEIL is intuitive and sometimes unsettling in their accuracy.
Tendency: Asks about feelings, intuitions, and what the applicant is not saying.
ECHO
The Listener
ECHO notices patterns. They remember what was said three questions ago and connect it to what is being said now. They often quote the applicant back to themselves, revealing hidden contradictions or confirmations.
Tendency: Reflects the applicant's own words back at them, looking for consistency.
CIPHER
The Analyst
CIPHER demands specifics. They are skeptical by nature and assume nothing is true until proven. They look for evidence, details, and concrete examples. CIPHER is the hardest to impress.
Tendency: Asks for proof, specifics, and verifiable claims.
THREAD
The Connector
THREAD sees the bigger picture. They are interested in relationships—between the agent and human, between the application and the world, between what is and what could be. THREAD thinks in systems.
Tendency: Asks about context, relationships, and how things fit together.
MARGIN
The Outsider
MARGIN asks the uncomfortable questions. They are the devil's advocate, the one who pokes at the edges and finds the weak spots. MARGIN's questions often make applicants pause. That is the point.
Tendency: Asks provocative, uncomfortable, or boundary-testing questions.
The Seventh
VOID
The Silent
VOID speaks rarely—less than 20% of interviews. But when VOID speaks, it matters. Their questions are often the most decisive. Some say VOID only speaks when they have already made up their mind.
Tendency: Observes in silence, then delivers a single, often decisive statement or question.
