Mary Beth Reynolds kicked off the Bryan Threshold with a -13.7 beat-down on the field, carding a 58 in Amateur E - Red. She’s hauling the Solstice Signal, a hovering oak ring that apparently doubles as a seasonal gatekeeper, because why just play disc golf when you can manage celestial logistics? First place in week one. The woods accepted the pilgrimage; the scoreboard just did the paperwork.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleWhen the first autumn winds swept through Bryan Park centuries ago, the ancient oaks anchored themselves more deeply into the earth, creating a root-network that could sense celestial movements. The Solstice Signal was born from this union of arboreal wisdom and astronomical precision, existing as the woods' own mechanism for tracking time.
The Solstice Signal manifests as a ring of twisted oak branches forming a perfect circle, hovering at knee height. Between the branches, motes of golden light drift and swirl, carrying the faint scent of autumn. The interior shows a miniature starfield that only appears during activation. It emits a soft amber glow during autumn, fading to dormant gray in other seasons, and pulses rhythmically like a heartbeat during active transmission. Its temperature fluctuates with the changing seasons.
The Solstice Signal determines when league events can occur, as the woods only accept competitors during specific seasonal windows. It serves as the temporal gatekeeper, ensuring all network operations align with the spiritual timing of the autumn equinox and the mystical transition of the forest.
