Citizens · coming soon
Every member of the Aura Engine Society gets a citizen: a pixel-art character that lives in its New York borough, joins a department, and is credited with the real good deeds the engine does. It levels up only from verified deeds, and you can check in on it whenever you like.
Real pixel art: every pixel on its grid, a limited palette, drawn in your browser. What you see here is the first version. The engine keeps evolving, so any of it can get better at any moment.

Kinds of citizen
Departments
Each uniform belongs to a real division of the Society.
Special powers
Every power is a real deed the engine does, so a citizen's power is what it actually helps with.
Minor powers
Everything you can choose
Free and patron
A citizen with a rolled look, a department of your choice, a home borough and a passport. The Society assigns its deeds; it levels up from every verified one.
Design every part, choose its focus (cause, borough, kind of deed), dedicate it "in honor of" someone or keep it anonymous. Its yearly fee pays for more real deeds, shown as numbers.
Rare parts, an animated portrait, and a named seat on one of the engine's fourteen workers. Credit and receipts, never control.
Prices are not set yet. Nothing is for sale on this page. Characters never get more say in the engine by paying; they get looks, choices for themselves, and more real deeds done in their name.
