The Journer Database


The Journer Database! Accessible to all Journers. A few things.
-The database is comprised of all the Journer's scientific knowledge. Albinia's own knowledge will be here, but in pieces and parts as she has to make 'god understanding' into 'human understanding.'

-No intentional lying in the database. (Save for the Edit ability.) If the information is in the database, the Journer who put it in thinks it's true.

-Things that are unproven theories will be marked as such in the database.

-It is possible to have certain information removed entirely from the database. Using Alchemists as an example! Alchemy would be included in the database because it's scientific information. However, human transmutation is kind of dangerous. So any Alchemist Journers can ask for that information to be removed from the database because of that. Albinia will usually comply with requests like this. So long as there's a good reason for why things shouldn't be in there, Albinia will remove it.

-It should be said that the quickest way to lose status as a Journer is to abuse the information in the database in a malicious way.

-If a Journer has proven untrustworthy, but not to the point of losing their Journer status, they may have their information access restricted to subjects they can be trusted with.

What's Actually In the Database
As said before, there will be no 'personal' articles on people here. This includes the players and NPCs. Such there is an article on Red Lizagons. There is no article on Reddy, the Red Lizagon Bane of Apartment Sparkles. There's no articles on apartment groups. There MAY be articles on official groups. Such the Journers do have their own articles explaining Journer stuff. There's no history (yet). So far, there's no articles on other groups of priests. In the future, there may be articles on any official government groups that form in Thusia.

Everything on the Nature Pages will be in the Journer Database. There will also be some side information that Albinia knows. Like some of the stuff she's used parts for, or if they're an animal Albinia actually knows was genetically modified in the past.

There will be basics of all the sciences in there. Biology, chemistry, everything they'd teach in your average college. Truly advanced stuff will come in bits and pieces, depending on what Journers know.

There's basic medical information in there and some recipes on how to make medicines using Thusian plants. They're not the easiest process to work with yet, but they're there. There is also some recipes for status affect medicines. (The usual fair, age up, age down, switching gender, suddenly ponies.)

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
All Journers need to reply to this with a basic summary of what they would be contributing to the Journer database.

Subjects: What subjects of sciences do they know. Both real world and world specific.
World Specific: If there's a world specific one, give a brief rundown of what it is. It doesn't have to be extensive, especially if it might be hard to do without proper tutelage. Just a basic idea of what it's studying.
Expertise Level: How MUCH would you say you know on the subject? Novice, average, pretty good, expert, genius prodigy.
Thusia Knowledge: Anything interesting they've been studying in Thusia? What might they know?
Redacted: Any information your character would want removed. If it's taboo, fridge horror type stuff or would kill a lot of people really quickly and too easily, it's pretty safe to assume it'll be removed. If it's not so cut and dry, we might need to talk.
Unintentional Lying: Is there anything YOUR character thinks is true, but it actually isn't? This is especially important if this thing can be performed in an experiment of some sort and have bad results with the misinformation.
