@Lumiere

I haven't actually came up with an origin for the Aosta Trees, but magic is involved. Maybe later in the RP we can explore how and why the Aosta Trees grew, it could even be that no sentient being intended to grow them but they was just seeds in the place and in the right time.

Also, something I should clarify is that Alexander magic isn't radiant. Radiant magic is light magic. Alexander's magic is closer to chi. It is life energy that flows through all living things, Alex just takes the excess energy that is in the air and focuses it. For me, it is less that it is a "good magic" and a "bad magic" meeting, but more trying to pour gasoline in a coal engine. It is just fundamentally incompatible with artificial life.

Edit- An in theory, the same magics that is used to give your own life energy to heal others could be reverse-engineered to take the life energy of others to heal yourself. Though, at least in Rutan where his particular brand of magic is taught, that is about as blasphemous as say, half or three-quarters as bad as artificially creating life in a test-tube.

Goodness, with the amount of chatter while I'm, I might need a Co-GM. *snorts*

I'm not great at mapping to be honest, so if either of you wanna take lead on that, be my guest! I think I have 3 CSs to still look over, lol. Also, I leave it to you fine folks to figure out how your magic works one another. Since it's pretty free-form, magic can form in all sorts of ways - though there are major theories on it's source. Probably should write that down, however it shouldn't impact anything.

Hi, I'm half finished with my CS, can I post the half finished one here and update it tomorrow? Since I basically promised I would post it today, I feel quite bad I haven't finished it yet, but I can post what I already have typed out (unless you rather have it that I wait until I'm finished and then post it in its entirety)

Well I personally love to see the finished thing! That’s why I’m holding off a little on posting my CS >_< but then maybe IC development is more important.. IDK! Should I post the CS as is, amatuer as it is... or post tomorrow after further work? O_o who knows

Finished form! For his picture I made a quick sketch because I couldn't find anything that looks like him.

I am going to save my post for more people to finish up their character sheets or get up their first post. I will probably post later on in the afternoon (Central Standard Time, right now it is 9am in the morning)

@Lyla Woo! That's exciting. :D What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?

Also, I love a lot of OOC chatter! I think getting to know your fellow roleplayers and forming friendships is one of the best and lasting parts of this experience. But if that isn't something anyone else wants thats cool, I'm good with just writing :)

I do like that too, but maybe there are better ways for that. I don't know if any of you like the option of using discord? It can be very useful for keeping track of worldbuilding, questions and relations between characters. If we chat and talk about our OC's and such all in here, it can really easily become cluttered and chaotic

I just checked discord out, it seems pretty cool. I wouldn't mind that sort of thing, instant messaging is a bit easier than forum posting anyways. So my vote is on yes.
Also, I love the idea behind your nation!! It reminds me of San Junipero from Black Mirror. Really cool.

I use discord a lot, and I will say that I do think it is a much better platform to discuss OOC stuff.

It's similar to Skype, but it has a few features Skype doesn't have (like sub-chats inside group chars).

And thanks! It wasn't my intention to make it the old-people-uploading-into-the-cloud thing, but maybe some parts subconsciously seeped into my brains. The timeline of the episode still confuses me. (Yes, I watch Black Mirror too, and I love it)

It's more the whole idea of a subconscious universe that really reminded me of it! It is such an under appreciated idea, by that I mean just something not many people have explored, and it is SO cool. I'm excited to see how it transitions into the story.
Also Black Mirror <3 I haven't seen the new season yet (Netflix uploaded Bob's Burgers and my boyfriend and I have been bingeing that for the past few weeks) but I heard it is great.

Edit:
I hit send and realized I had more to say aha
@Camey@leotamer I really dig the idea of using discord. But I think that it should be an all in or all out idea. Just so people who might feel more uncomfortable online don't feel left out of the conversations. :)

Ahh, I understand :) I do love the idea too. Nez isn't really a mind uploaded to the cloud, but more an A.I. which is put into a shell-body (the reverse if you think about it). E.D.G.E.'s plan is to eventually upload minds to the cloud, which does have its ups and down. San Junipero seems like it has a happy ending, but it is bittersweet like most episodes. Keep in mind that time doesn't matter anymore. There is no deadline. Our lives have a deadline, so anything you do matters. In a virtual world where you can live forever nothing really matters. Someone is mad at you? Oh well. You can be mad at them for 20 years without remorse. You have all the time in the world to make it up to them anyways.

And do watch it! I won't spoil anything about it, so just watch it.

I agree. It wouldn't be fair to those who don't want to join discord for whatever reason. If everyone agrees, then we can use it, otherwise it's best to just stay in OOC :)

I’m all in for discord! It’s my substitution for actual socialization, so I’m on it on the time.

@ineffably - At the moment, I work for an online company called Zola. I mostly organizing their spread sheets and rename images. It's roughly 10-15 hours a week right now. Though I'm learning C# in Unity!

Also the discord thing, I'm all for it! *smiles*
