Thanks for letting us know.

@Riffus Maximus

You should shamelessly shitpost in the Discord until one of our resident artists caves in to your demands.

—(••[ 𝕎𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ ]••)—

@Ashevelendar Read initial OOC notices more carefully. If I told you I made edits to your sheet for uniformity and clarification of the power I vetted, it certainly does mean I intend for you to use the edited version and not your original. This is now resolved. Thank you for your cooperation.

To all the new folks:

IC posts are due by the end of Saturday, my time (PST) at the latest. If everyone posts before then, we can all move on earlier. If you don't exist in the game before the deadline, you're likely to not exist, period. Remember to read your fellow players' posts and make sure you're not missing anything vital.

Holy Grail is exempt from this constraint for his special circumstances.

—(••[ 𝕎𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ ]••)—

@Holy Grail Ah, yes, the color is the same. Thank you for noticing that.

@Ashevelendar Refer to my previous posts concerning your CS and change your color, please. Grail's CS was submitted before yours, so that color will be his.

Edit: I missed the closing [/hider] tag when copypasting/editing your CS. My apologies. Please close the hider code in your character tab.

—(••[ 𝕎𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ ]••)—

@Ashevelendar

@Ashevelendar Use the CS Code I linked you. Your hider formatting is incorrect. Ashe, I'm warning you now, if you miss these types of details frequently both OOC and IC, I will not hesitate to do what needs to be done to keep things smooth and rolling.

@January

Accepted. I fixed some minor formatting issues and made some small clarifications in her magic description for anyone who refers to the sheet later.

Do not make me notify you again.

@Ashevelendar

First, yes, you're allowed to move her to the character tab and post IC.

Second, no, relationship sheets are just for fun and to help people get in the mindset of their characters. Players just did that on their own and others thought it was cool as fuck, so yeah, feel free to compose one at your leisure. I like reading them, too.

Last, consider your post in the character tab to be a personal space for your character's thoughts/notes/journals, etc. Feel free to link to an outside Google Doc or something of thoughts, or just make extra hiders for misc. notes. I like stalking the character tab in my downtime and enjoy getting to know the teenage abominations you've all created.

@Ashevelendar PM for issues where you want to keep the interaction a secret/surprise until it's posted (but if it's something extremely relevant to the plot/current event, make sure to let me know as well).

OOC for general permissions.

Alexis is talketive girl and usually the kind of girl that attracts attention in the room she is in. Loyal to the end to her allies and to her enemies the same. She'll seek the good in anything even in monsters.
Alexis strongly believes that you are not born evil but you choose to be so. She will try to make anyone that listens to her talk to be the better part of themselves. She knows that her Aberration brothers and sisters simply judged a situation wrong and that's why they became what they are now. Reason why, she'll try to calm them when posible or detain them if she cannot until they calm down.
Alexis also understands why normal humans are afraid of mages or subnaturals as they call them. Humanity is and always be afraid of things they don't understand and mages are something outside the normal norm.

At first Alexis's powers made her fall into a dark mood because they could be classified as evil by most people but after some time, she refused to let that change that and made it her purpose to prove that one is not born evil but chooses to be.

ℍ 𝕚 𝕤 𝕥 𝕠 𝕣 𝕪 :

Alexis was born into a wealthy actor family and since she was a child she was featured in a child show. She became a local celebrity and most of her friends believed that she would've become a famous actor like her parents if her powers didn't manifested.
Her parents were killed a few nights before she had "the dream" that changed her life. Her parents were killed when an airplane was brought down by a monster.
After her powers manifested she went to the government to declare herself as an subnatural and she was brought to the school/college to complete her schooling.

𝕄 𝕒 𝕘 𝕚 𝕔 :

Shadowmancer

Can create up to two shadows of varying shapes and forms, but they can only grow as large as a particularly big dog. For now. Cannot create forms she's unfamiliar with (so she'd be unable to create an owlbat, but would be able to create, say, a dog). Limitation of pounding headache while shadows are up does apply and she can sustain them for 10 minutes max. They're stronger and faster than normal creatures and are fairly resilient to damage, though any damage they take, Alexis's headache becomes stronger. Alexis can either make 1 shadow with extremely high speed, strength, and intelligence or multiple at the same time with less of all three. She has to shout commands to the shadows in order for them to do what she wants them to do.

𝔻 𝕣 𝕖 𝕒 𝕞 :

In the dream Alexis had, she was in the center of a room full of people that were listening to her speech. Most of the persons in the room were ex-criminals that now let behind their criminal lives and now were heroes to normal humans. There were many humans that understood that everyone is equal, humans and mages.

ℕ 𝕚 𝕘 𝕙 𝕥 𝕞 𝕒 𝕣 𝕖 :

An Alexis covered in a thick shadows was surrounded by more than a hundred shadows that killed everyone in their path as they advanced on the last fre Human settlement on Earth. Humans that surrendered were now slaves to the Shadow Empire led by Alexis. In a way Alexis ended all wars and everyone was now equal. Everyone but herself, of course.

@SoulEater Yes.

@Ashevelendar I'm sure Kyrisse has mentioned it to you, but remember that regardless of ability, I still fully expect proper communication from all players as there will always be instances where you'll need another player's permission to do something.

With the level of powers in play here, communication becomes that much more important. Are we 9 million percent clear on this?

At the end of the day, I want everyone to have fun without ruining someone else's fun. Just remember that guideline in posting and be considerate. And I think we'll have zero issues.

I will judge your character after you confirm you'll comply with these expectations.

To everyone: this is my official permission to manhandle, lightly puppet, poke, jab, drink blood from, and etc. Christmas. Unless you're doing something major like heavy and prolonged interaction, you're free to throw, punt, pitch, and otherwise mistreat the character as you'd like.

Feel free to grab him by the collar or something and drag him around in the future for cases where you'd like to post with Christmas, but I'm out or busy and you'd really like to post already, haha.

Cold.

It was cold when he woke up. Christmas struggled to open his eyes as he felt the motion of something vibrating all around him. Was this the afterlife? Just a lot of weird sounds and movement and darkness?

He shivered and finally managed to creak his eyelids open, deciding on a half-lidded compromise as lights bled into view through a haze of blurred vision and sleep exhaustion. How long had he been out?

The memories slipped back into his mind one by one as he continued waking up. The liquor store at three in the morning. The terrified owner. The tranquilizer needle.

He had actually done it. He'd actually gotten himself arrested despite everything his parents had tried to do to prevent anyone from finding out that he was a subnatural. And he had done it to--

The reasoning slid out of his grasp and he inhaled a deeper breath just as his mind processed that he had been leaning heavily on someone nearby while he had been asleep. It took more strength than he thought it would to move his body off the person's shoulder, and Christmas's vision finally focused enough to catch a pale youth with brown hair, sitting in deep thought, apparently unconcerned that Christmas had woken up. He debated saying something to the guy, but refrained, rubbing his eyes instead to clear the last vestiges of sleep from his face as best he could. A hand strayed to his head and groped for the blue ribbon he always tied in his hair. Still there. A small comfort.

No sooner had he roused himself sufficiently when a large laser shot through the sky, quickly followed by the unmistakable glow of Sparrow's magic. And the second glow had to be Prism, whom Sparrow was sharing her flight with. Precursors. Here.

Christmas shrank back against the strange material of the truck he was in, realizing only now as the fear forcibly kicked his mind back into gear that he was cuffed and chained to roughly 20 other people by both his wrists and ankles. Then he noticed the transparent trucks as Sparrow's light briefly flew over the caravan of vehicles. He was being carted off to one of the USARILNs. It took him that much longer to grasp that he would be at USARILN East, from where they had captured him.

His heart was jackhammering a hole in his chest as the nerves and panic set in upon the emergence of Dreamcatcher's monsters--or something that looked like a cheap copy of Dreamcatcher's monsters. The details were all slightly off, and they didn't have the wicked intelligence that all of Dreamcatcher's creatures now seemed to share. It was obvious who it had to be, but Christmas refused to think through the conclusion, instead bending over and wrapping his arms around himself, the chains on his ankles too taut for him to pull his legs up to his chest. He remained like this, breathing deeply as the cars that had stopped on Sparrow's and Prism's arrival finally began moving again.

By the time they reached the underground complex below USARILN East, Christmas had managed only a paltry semblance of calm, arms still tightly gripping his elbows like he just wanted to fold in on himself and disappear. That wouldn't be entirely false.

The Director, her speech, the reactions--everything sailed over his head, most of the information unable to penetrate the clamor of fear ringing through his mind.

We're going to die. We're going to die. We're going to die.

He instinctively drew his light jacket closer to himself, almost wishing he was back home in his warm bed instead of here, at this place where nothing but fear and death reigned supreme. But a part of him didn't want to go back there--to that other prison with bars of happiness and locks of forced optimism and saccharine smiles. His cheeks sometimes hurt from smiling so much at home.

His mind dragged a slowly analyzed thought to the forefront, struggling against his shuddering panic. Ankle cuffs would be easier. He wouldn't have to consistently smile at the ankle cuffs to make sure they were happy. That was fine. That was fine.

"I-I'll..." his mouth struggled to move properly through the quivering of his lips as he spoke softly without looking directly at anyone, "w-wear the ankle cuff. P-please don't k-kill me."
