I wanted to link to the Core Organizations and The Core pages here while still giving a broad overview! anyone have any suggestions?
Team Culture
The Core Mechanics, like the rest of Core society, are known for their post-scarcity generosity, radical collaboration, emphasis on accessibility, and positive transhumanism as a tool for personal freedom. Core society offers people the chance to answer the question "What would you do and be if you had total control over yourself?" For some people, one part of that answer is "play blaseball", and those are the Core Mechanics.
The Core Mechanics live in The Core, which is Down. One can get there by going Down from anywhere. The Core is filled with tons of loose, fluid, informal Core Organizations of people who share common interests. The Core Mechanics are one such informal organization for those interested in Blaseball.
The Core community helps make anyone's dreams real, whether by modifying themselves, creating assistive devices, personalizing their clothes and selves with buttons, fabric, changing parts, or more. Changing bodies in the Core is as easy as changing clothes. Hailing from a wide variety of backgrounds, the Core Mechanics are simultaneously steampunk and solar-punk and void-punk and neon-punk and cottage-punk and scene-punk: an aesthetic known as "core-core" in which every single -punk is present at the same time in a cluttered, clashing, and interconnected mess.
While a Core Mechanic is someone who plays for the team, everyone in the Core is a Core mechanic. "Mechanic" does not refer to any specific discipline, but may be any form of creative function. One can be an art mechanic, or a words mechanic, or a music mechanic, or a feelings mechanic. For more information, see The Core.
