Auriane St. Cyr and

the 17 Skills of the Info-Warrior

Auriane St. Cyr is the child heroine of our third simulation, The Dreams of Auriane, as well as one of the protagonists of the seventh simulation, The League of the Last Resort. Though blind (at least in the first simulation), Auriane is a devotee of first-person shooter video games. By using sound cues from multimedia video games, Auriane is able to aim, shoot, and get feedback on her performance. In fact, Auriane has proven to be such a talented player that she nearly always defeats sighted and much more experienced players in multiplayer online games. Game hosts and mod designers of games she plays online have in fact sometimes enhanced their products to allow Auriane to take advantage of her highly elevated sense of hearing.

Through her complex interplay with her gaming systems, Auriane has constructed a set of qualities common to most first- and third-person shooters, in five categories: weapons; mind tools; armor components; health augments; and powerups. Auriane knows that these are not just qualities of the heroes of shooters, but also of those who triumph in the realm of external organizational communication (public relations, advertising, marketing, and sales). Below are the seventeen resources.
