Characters come from the player's Source Soul, not a shuffled deck.

Worlds, hidden pressure, and modifier halves come from Mission Cards.
Missions allow Item draws through resonance, item type, or pressure text.
The Character carries Items, but each Mission sets the active loadout.

Working together
Ideas that currently fit
- The site generates the Character Card from the Source Soul.
- The paper table uses two active decks: Mission and Item.
- Missions show World Resonance with two harmonious elements in parentheses.
- Mission success uses one of three Target types: Range, Surpass, or Precise.
- Pressure count is public, but pressure details reveal one at a time.
- Items, Missions, and Characters share the same source attribute vocabulary.
- Character carry limit and Mission active loadout can be separate numbers.
- Gained inventory is riskier than the Character's stable carry slots.
Still clashing
Ideas to resolve before locking
- Character deck vs site-generated Characters: use a roster/demo pool only, not a third active deck.
- One shared Adventure deck vs Mission plus Item decks: current direction is two active decks.
- All twelve attributes on every card vs readable cards: use the shared vocabulary, but print only relevant attributes.
- Five modifiers on every Mission vs pressure count: do not lock both until the first paper test.
- Fully chosen loadout vs shuffled draw: choose the stack, then shuffle if we want uncertainty.
- Character Cards as dual-use modifiers vs personal Soul identity: hold this idea for later.
