No problem :) take your time with it. If there really isn't anything that fits, then leave it - that works too.

@rabidbacon
I sent you notes in PMs :)

@Mole
Oh, I see. Well, thanks for your interest and good wishes!❤️ Feel free to stop by any time. If there is a particular reason why you bowed out or some issue that you feel I should know, then hit me up in PMs :)

@vietmyke
Excellent :) only note is Gaia being the Dominant of 'nature'. Also, no soundtrack? I bet there's something that really fits this hunk! Other than that, all good. Post it in the character tab.

@Aeolian
Very avant-garde and super aesthetic (including soundtrack!), babe, AS ALWAYS. Get that cutie posted in the character tab :)

@rabidbacon
I will look at this in the morning :) well, morning for me. My time zone is CET.

@Mirandae Awesome, one last question then I can get writing after work: is it possible for a Regalia to have a higher fame than the Cult Size listed for their Dominant? I have a few different ideas and this will help me sort out which fits best.

@Sylvan

Yes, the cult size and character fame does not have to match. Some combinations are unlikely, though. For example, being an unknown Regalia with Ultima as your Dominant.

Regalia

Asking for character sheet & homeland reasons, has anyone picked Garuda and of so would you want to work together on a nation of lightning & wind?

@Sylvan

I don't think anyone has picked Garuda, that I know of. I say go ahead and write that nation up anyway. If there is a Garuda, you guys can get in touch later.

Regalia

Salutions. This looks like an interesting little story. I'm messing with an idea for Gilgamesh if no one's chosen that yet.

@Aku the Samurai

Hello! Welcome. There's been little mention of Gilgamesh. I don't know if anyone is using that in secret around here, but go for it.

Yeahh...sorry bout last time 😅 I had a lot going on during that time. This time I'll be good

@AlteredTundra

Well, alright. Then you're welcome, love. Go with whatever character idea that speaks to you the most.

Regalia

Final Fantasy inspired? Sign me the fuck up!

I'm currently leaning towards two character ideas.

One is a samurai-leaning type from that far off land of Tenshi who is seeking power to bring prosperity to his small village. A very journey to the west-inspired character. Full of honor and all that jazz. Likely someone that would ironically get the dark element.

The second is a fame-chaser, over the top (including mustache and all) aristocrat from a wealthy family. Eccentric billionaire, playboy, philanthropist (so fame is kinda high with this one as it is). Maybe going with Fire with this one. Think this one might be from Archadia or some very wealthy nation under Etro, indivisible and money/fame for all!

@AlteredTundra

Are you going to behave this time or will you make 2 ic-posts and disappear again?

"Brothers and Sisters, I ask you to pause... and listen.

What is it that you hear? Silence. Have you ever thought the space between sound, the absence, gives meaning to presence. This is the foundation upon that all things rest on. Silence, nothingness... this is the voice of the Void. It is older than time, before how creation itself stirred, and even before light sought to shine. All that is, comes from nothing.

Everything you see before you, are all but brief flickers of form emerging from the Void. We are often taught to fear the Void, but this belief is a misunderstanding. The endless expanse of the Void is not a force of chaos, or a place of death. The Void is the mother of all beginnings, the first element, primordial and pure. In it lies the infinite potential of creation and destruction.

The true path of Ascension is not found in chasing power, wealth, or glory. It is recognising that we too, are of this nothingness. In embracing the Void, we come to recognise our place within its grand tapestry, to recognise we are fleeting, transient, and yet, in our insignificance, we can become the infinite."

<Snipped quote by Mirandae>

Alright, in that case I'm locking in on Ramuh, got some fun ideas. I hope to have a basic CS up in the next day or two, but I will need help with a banner, like in the example, at some point. I am very bad at using generative ai art tools lol.

@Sylvan

No no, I will take care of all that, no worries :) Never meant for players to do anything with AI.

Regalia

@Sylvan
What do you think about this? Pretty much same everything :)

Ramuh

Regalia

I’m thinking of a Bahamut Regalia that either works for Law Enforcement as a SWAT/Special Tactics unit, or for a corporation as a hit squad.

@Sanity43217

I believe @Silly is deep into that Bahamut life as well. That being said, there are no dibs, so if there are multiple using the same Dominant, I'll have to choose one. Other options are to choose another Dominant, or I can make a similar new one.

Regalia

By the way, are there any canon crime syndicates that already exist? Or do you prefer that we make our own?

What I had in mind was a syndicate of sorts that provides protection, blackmail or espionage services for corporations. Which part of the world would be most notorious for such things?

@rabidbacon

There's a lot of room for player lore, so just write what you want, and then I'll look at it and adjust if needed. As for any specific place in the world -- pick one :) That sort of thing seems like a global endeavor, as it has to do with the corporations.
