No no I’m sorry for not communicating it well I meant the actual tech we have with us. What we can bring. How ‘futuristic’ are we allowed to be. That kind of thing.

You can write for 20 years and still have nagging self-doubt. It'll be ok, just enjoy the process. At least that's the story I tell myself.

Very cool pieces, thanks for sharing.
Here's one for our villain in the psychic style.
Do we have to fight hi? XD Also. I may have missed this so I’m double checking. Tech wise how do you want us to ply it? Sling stuff in the Ic and if it’s too much, we walk it back, or do you want us to run things by you?
Admittedly a pretty cool app hahaha
Opening post is sweet, excited to get going!

Did I accidentally start a food theme? Lmao
I am a doofus lmao. My night mode was wonking the contrast and hues on some font colors so when I tried to choose a dark font to be unobtrusive, it made it glaringly bright.
@Krash
Yes, let's change that right away. I've prepped the code for it and another color. Everyone can use this, and I'll use it myself when necessary.

Done and edited, I tried to do the same for the Lore footnotes to make it easier to pick out but I'm struggling to get colors working well on this website and whatever color code I use ends up a very harsh brightened version of the intended color lol. The guide at the bottom isn't helpful either for what the forum accepts. Or is the preview bugged?
@Krash
That post of yours made me hungry! I wouldn't call that post rusty for a come back.
I added the locations you mentioned on the local map. Hopefully I interpreted it correctly.
Also, you don't need to do the "quest steps". It's just something that I'll do as GM to easily communicate and make clear how everyone can respond and move forward. You could rename it to "summary", though. We've used post summaries in my games before to make reading things back a bit easier.
The character image in your post leads to someone else's character sheet, though. Go to the character tab, check the character cast banners at the top, click the "raw"-button the in top right corner, and then you'll find yours there. Might have to test a little to find your banner code there. My explanation here is a bit wonky, hope it made sense.
I appreciate you haha it felt very clunky but enjoyable to write again. I actually quite liked the 'quest steps' at least at this stage as way to indicate to others potential interaction points for entry. I may alter the name like you suggested though. Actually, I liked the whole format of the posts which is why I, rather obviously, borrowed it XD. Thank you for pointing it out, I thought I'd fixed it... oh well! I appreciate the explanation!
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ | Errikos "Conductor" Rigas — Bend between CEC and Arrowpeak — 0900 — [na] Opportunity. It seemed to be the only absolute of the human race, recognizing and exploiting an opportunity. Some find bigger exploits, most just find something to get by. This small town, if you could call it that, only really existed because of the CEC outpost. It was anchored off the bend in the Tortues that fed the smaller towns past Embergate off the Sauraine. Most just referred to it as the Bend. It used to be a respectable town, of that Errikos was certain, but that must have been at least a hundred years ago with Embergate eventually growing and overtaking the opportunity as a port of service for the area. In its wake, Bend languished until the comet came and, with it, the CEC outpost. The little town sprang to life with services aimed at catering towards the staff of the base initially as many military towns do, but with it's proximity to the comet's path, as well as river access, it became a place for individuals and groups to sneak things into and out of that same path as it connected to the other river systems that reached from Sauraine into the deeper interior of mainland Cetra. Marvelous old buildings stood juxtaposed to hasty stalls and new prefabs and the streets were filled with vendors of all sorts with cultural foods from much of Cetra gushing delicious aromas into the streets. Sitting in the outdoor area of a coffee shop, Errikos couldn't help but notice the more southern heat of this region. His iced tea repelling the morning for just a moment as he took in the people around him. "Ohhhh my and what is that?" There was one vendor just across, she was working a small charcoal grill with whole fish roasting on top. With little more than large salt crystals wedged into its sliced flesh for flavoring and a paper fan to stoke the heat, it still beguiled and seduced the slightly grayed man. He hadn't learned a great deal about Cetra cuisine, if this could even be considered a regional dish, but it smelled heavenly. He thought of the plan ahead. Why would he be tasked to work with a special warfare division? What would they be planning? Surely they were likely even more suicidal than the average mission considering the skill set. They'd be expected to survive of course, if nothing else, the aggregation of spirits seemed to make Aeons more resilient. A small utility truck rumbled down the stone road, stirring Errikos from his day dream. It looked rusted and beat down but the engine seemed solid enough and with plenty of boxes in the back for, whatever. Was it always like this? Was there always such a separation between us? Errikos was thankful he wasn't as big a hitter as some Aeons and didn't draw attention. He had an issued phone on him that had to be worth more than what some families here survived on in a month and it was just casually given to him by the UDF. The big corps seemed… monolithic in the face of the average person, and they only seemed to grow stronger in the wake of the comet. Even the UDF, though he once loved them for rescue, was guilty of so much. Were any of them clean? Was Errikos clean? He felt compassion for so many of the rebel groups angry at the world and what had happened to them. They only wanted a better life, or at least, that's what Errikos thought of them. He could see himself as one had fate not gifted… or cursed, him with this gathering of spirits. He took the final sip of tea, finishing his musings. The Belleconan stood up and hopped on the older heavy metal bike and zipped off down the street headed towards what had become the bus station. Perhaps, if he was lucky enough, Errikos would be able to secure transport to CEC. For the moment he tried to stop musing political and just focus on the road. Lore Tortues - the east west river that connects Sauraine to Arrowpeak Bend - A small town / outpost that sprung up southwest of the bend in the Tortues, not as grand as Embergate, and a place where more illegal things trying to get into or out of the comet zone are worked. An old town revived by the CEC outpost and the comet; it's now home to a collection of individuals trying to get by that either couldn't afford Embergate, or perhaps aren't wanted there. Post Summary / Direction Errikos is currently headed west from Bend towards the CEC, and will ride on a transport of some kind, maybe a military cargo truck, maybe a bus. |
@Krash
The size of the cast will most likely trail off a fair bit beyond the first-to-second/third posts. It almost always happens—people see the actual product and it isn't for them, something in life happens, or any other reason. Whatever happens, everyone here is always welcome back at any time.

Interesting. I'm the same, in a way. How does it do that for you?
Oh I know that much, it's a constant of RP lol. It was just my hope to join a lighter RP in the 'casual' section to get my chops back up. Then the mounds of IC text hit hahaha it'll be ok. Just gonna have a reaaaal sore RP muscle.
Big cast vibes
Honestly a bit nervous. Wanted to dust off my RP skills by jumping into a casual thread to see if I want to get back into RP and... This lol.
