#REDIRECT[[Player type#Vorthos]]
'''Vorthos''' is a player type. It is not exactly a "psychographic profile", as such, as the Vorthos player type is about appreciation, not motivation to win. If [[Johnny]], [[Timmy]] and [[Spike]] are on a triangle of an x, y axis, Vorthos and [[Melvin]] would be on a z axis.

Vorthos' concerns are mostly one of flavor and creative consistency. Continuity and applying a retcon to the past are key aspects of an involved vorthos.
 
Some discussion has been fostered on whether vorthos appreciates the theme of art alteration, but overall viewpoints of it are secondary to continuity.
For [[Innistrad]], a [http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/166 viral story] was created under a pseudoname, [[Josh Brauer]]. [[Ryan Miller]] led a team that wrote the stories across a variety of media.
 
Vorthos users can be found in three main places:
