I'd be interested in this, if you need any more players.I also have a question about the spirits we're, merging, for lack of a better word, with? How abstract of a concept can we use? Specifically, ideals or virtues.

While Animism implies the existence of spirits associated with abstract concepts and even inanimate objects, I want our spirits to maintain some form of practical use. There are certainly some abstract concepts that can have a practical application in a combat situation, for example, sadness. If you were to send the spirit of sadness to attack another person, they would be forced into that emotion, which in turn would make them less effective in combat. I'm currently working on a few concrete parameters for combat in order to eliminate ambiguity regarding this topic. Good question, though!

You may have already written this down with neon lights (I can be just that dense sometimes), but I just wanted to clarify something about the time line so I don't mess anything up.Okay so, Max died around the time the characters were around 10 years old. This occurred 4 years prior to the research facility incident, so the characters were around 14 years old when that happened. The monologue states that this research facility incident happened 10 years ago. Assuming this is the present time, the characters would have to be around 24 years old.Now, the question I really wanted to ask was: (Around) How old were the characters when the 3 year war started? Was this war a recent occurrence (war just ended) or have some years passed since it ended? Am I blind and not seeing the part where you already wrote down the answers to my question(s)?How it looks in JJ's head:Character Born |----[Max dies: ~10 years old]----[Lab accident: ~14 years old]------[*3 year war begins: ~14 < ~? years old]------| Monologue/Present time? (~24 years old)*Would humanity be desperate enough to draft anyone younger than 18 to fight the (3 year) war?*

Your train of logic is excellent, so don't think that you're insane! It's my train of though that is messy. I've written a timeline reference, in which I've adjusted the dates a bit, for the OOC in order to clear this topic up. It's going to look like this:

1976-7: Player characters are born.
1989: Max dies in the car accident.
1995: Incident at covert research facility.
1998: End of war.
1999: Present time.

This places the age of all characters in their 21s-23s, which means that they were around 18 years old and younger when they were drafted. Yes, humanity was [i]that[/i] desperate.

The OOC will be created soon, today or tomorrow depending on how fast I work on it.
