I've done a lot of group games based on this, or at least tried. My go-to is 7, but I also like to mix in 8 and 13. There's infinite potential here for all kinds of stories and setups. However, I'm not much for doing straight up fandom. Mix and match concepts and ideas from these games is more my thing, and then put it all together. Also, I have this one particular setup called 'The Spirits Within' that I can tell you about.

_{K U L T : D I V I N I T Y L O S T}
There's this obscure pen-and-paper roleplay called 'Kult'. I only know about it because it was created by a Swedish couple. Anyway, it's basically Gnostic Horror, which doesn't really explain it any better. It's another great framework for storytelling, but it's very dark and filled with uncomfortable shit, gore, sex, rituals, horrific creatures, and with a spruce of angst, drugs, and violence. It's niche to say the least, so I can tell you more about it in PMs. But, there's some stuff on YouTube about it, if you do a search. Either way, I have no intention to strictly follow the rules or lore. Again, mix and match concepts to create something of our own is the way to go.

_{V A M P I R E : T H E M A S Q U E R A D E}
I've never actually roleplayed this, but dear God do I want to. I watched first seasons of "LA by Night" like an addict, and I've played the video game (a bit), Bloodlines. I'm definitely picking up Bloodlines 2 this year. I have some basic grasp of the lore, but that's about it. So, for this, I'd need someone that knows a bit more than I do myself. I'm not super into the game mechanics and all that, so that's not necessary. Anyway, this is also a great frameworks for rich storytelling.

_{A B O U T M E}
I'm a saint to some, a psycho to others. I've recently given up group games completely. That's why I'm here, even though 1x1 certainly has its own problems. Feel free to stalk my page and all the previous things I've been in. Consider it my 'writing sample'. I've mostly tried to GM, but I sincerely suck at it. Yet, it's what I know, and it's how I continue to think about things — even in 1x1.

_{A B O U T Y O U}
If you feel that you're my match, then send your flirtiest PM possible. I'm not going to list a bunch of requirements, because it doesn't help. You'll quickly get my 'vibe' from this thread and looking through my post history, which will tell you beyond any doubt if we're lovers or not. Tell me your zodiac and Myers-Briggs thing, if you know it, in your PM. That shit is always interesting.

_{N O T E S}
Writer compatibility is pretty much everything. No amount of planning or world-building is going to save shitty chemistry between writers. How do you find out? Just talking and being open. Don't hold anything back. Do you hate my guts and find me exhausting? Just say it, don't lead me on like a bitch. Are you obsessed with me and going to stalk me forever? Just admit it instead of being weird. Communication is everything, literally. People say that they want this, but that's almost never the case when they meet someone like myself.</sup>

Laura is known for her vibrant energy, enthusiasm for life, and ability to enjoy each moment. She is often the life of the party, the butterfly as the cliché goes, and excel in making others feel comfortable and entertained. Laura is also observant, practical, and live in the present moment. She is driven by her senses and a strong desire for great experiences. She communicates in a warm, engaging, and straightforward manner. She prefers conversations that are light-hearted and fun but can also be deeply empathetic. Laura is not afraid to express herself and her emotions openly and often use stories and humor to connect with others.

As a person, Laura is exceptionally outgoing and thrive on interactions with a wide circle of friends and family. She is highly observant and sensitive to others' needs, often going out of her way to make sure everyone around her is having a good time. However, she handles conflict by avoiding it if possible, preferring to keep the atmosphere light and positive. This is not always the best course of action, and she knows that. When making those kinds of decisions or decisions in general, Laura tends to rely on her personal values and the impact of her actions on others. Laura is pragmatic and realistic but may make decisions quickly based on her gut feeling, sometimes without considering long-term consequences.

Laura's vocabulary use is not stellar. She uses the word "like" in almost every sentence as a filler word for anything and everything. The word "uhm" is subconsciously used a lot when she is thinking or frankly does not know what to say. Laura uses the word "totally" as a filler to emphasize almost anything as well as a replacement for the word "yes". Laura says the abbreviation "OMG" instead of the actual phrase "oh my God". She also uses the phrase "for sure" to indicate certainty and replace the words “absolutely” and “yes”. A sort of slang word she has picked up on the internet is "brainrot", which she uses to indicate anything that is annoying, tedious, too much of, or very slow. Laura also uses a plethora of affectionate nicknames for everything and everyone.

Laura has the ‘little sister’ aura. Seeing as she is so energetic, social, and a bit of a tease, it might be too much for some people to stomach. However, Laura means well and only want people to feel good. She has somewhat learned to go into an ‘official role’ when acting and speaking as the Regalia of Gaia. It is a way to cope with the situation and what her life is and likely will be for a long time. But, she is very good at relaxing when it is possible, reverting back to her true self right away.

Laura belongs to a big family. There are five siblings, aunts and uncles, grand parents, and cousins, all living in Accadia. Coming from such a vast family, and one that likes to get together for all kinds of festivities and traditions, it helps that Laura is as social as she is. Most of her life was very normal with everyone going to school and work, and then going on vacation during the summers. However, most of those vacations were spent in south Accadia, but the family did occasionally travel overseas when it was possible. Her father is a corporate man, and her mother is in finance.

Laura’s blessing occurred during cheer leading practice in her junior year of High School. All of it happened very fast, but she felt something just before the Dominant Form engulfed her. It was a sense of calm but also fear of the future, as if she suddenly had to do something important or become something she was not equipped for. After Laura had transformed into the Dominant Form, she hovered above the football field for an hour in a sort of meditative state, communicating with Gaia. Naturally, the word of this happening spread like wildfire, seeing as the field was full of teenagers with cellphones.

After the blessing, Laura’s popularity at the school skyrocketed. All kinds of people from media, government, law firms, and corporations came knocking on the Genevieve household. There was whole slew of things they had to explain, guide Laura’s family through some legal procedures, consider sponsorship, and a whole bunch of other things. Some people, especially a young teenager, probably would have hated it, but Laura enjoyed it. She had no issues with being the center of attention or being a public figure. She already wanted to be an ‘influencer’, and this Regalia thing was exactly the kind of boost she dreamed of.

As time passed, Laura began to notice the downsides of being a Regalia. There was this huge pressure on her to be wise beyond her years, speak with strangers about their problems, spend time on healing the sick and weak, and be asked to go to new places every day. It was not as bad as some other Regalia, who had the really popular Dominants. However, Laura’s situation was a bit unique, because her Dominant resides beneath everyone's feet. Laura had experienced Gaia as a child herself, as everyone does, so it was slightly bizarre. Unfortunately, problems and issues are not Laura’s strong point, and she barely managed to get through all her duties. She just wants to live free, dance, go to parties, hang out with friends, and be careless. However, what she needs is a kick in the ass that will finally make her realize her place in the world and come to terms with it.

One such kick came in the form of an attempted kidnapping. Persecution of Regalia for various reasons is fairly common, and naive targets such as Laura are especially favored. However, a fellow Accadian came to her rescue, who turned out to be the Regalia of Titan. The man instantly became Laura’s hero, and he has been that ever since. He is her brother from another mother to the letter, and their Dominants are very friendly with one another as well, being of the Earth and Nature elements respectively. Laura is eternally grateful for Akamu’s bravery, and she makes sure that he knows that every time they meet.

Laura’s home and place of birth is Accadia. One could almost consider Accadia to be two separate nations — the north and the south. Laura is from the north, which is the ‘party islands’ of Accadia. The south is more like Libra’s paradise with white-golden beaches, palm trees, turquoise waters, and a rich culture among its people. Laura loves to vacation in the south but ultimately home is where the heart is, and she loves to party. She is quite the figure these days in the Accadian night scene, appearing at various clubs and restaurants as a promotional event.

The native language of Northern Accadia resembles the French language. Laura is fluent in this language and speaks it at home. However, the worldwide language, which resembles the English language, is a strong second language in Accadia. This is because South Accadia has a different native language that resembles the Maori language. So, these two parts of the islands use the common language to speak with each other. Laura knows how to speak basic South Accadian, though.

The government of Accadia is heavily sided with the North. This likely has roots in some form of colonial activity centuries ago. There is a bit of injustice going on when policies are made, some of which disproportionately favors the north. However, even if the south is relatively simple in their way of life, the overwhelming majority of tourism that Accadia gets is in the south. North Accadia has its night life, but it is mostly the same people that come around every year, and then some tourists that were in the south anyway. Additionally, in terms of corporations, Vanguard is the corporation that has the most investments in Accadia.

Life in the north is fairly simple but extremely expensive. Laura was lucky to have parents that were well off, so they never had any problems. However, it is not uncommon to see homeless people in the cities, and especially in the countryside. Although, it is in the countryside that people with challenges will find refuge and good life, if they so choose. There is not much countryside to see in North Accadia, but most of the South is good old nature. Laura does engage with charities, though. She has no problems with giving away the Coins that she does not need.

Here you can describe your character's weapon of choice, training (if any), and various attacks and abilities that they often use. However, what your character can do in combat is not limited to the things you list here, if you choose to list anything.

_{T R I V I A}

Likes dancing, parties, fashion, the beach, love, positivity, taking selfies, lollipops, lazy summer nights, puns, animals, conspiracy theories, and Regalia lore. Dislikes people that don’t listen in conversations, long and boring meetings, people with no fashion sense, pushy salespeople, passive aggressiveness, slurping, people that walk slowly, negativity, no parking spaces, people with loud headphones, and being shushed.

Laura watches a lot of videos online: feel-good stuff, behind the scenes fashion show clips, DIY home decor transformations, and tutorials for hair and makeup. On social media, she likes OOTD posts, memes, inspirational quotes, curates images boards with self-care routines, and she also spreads good vibes in the comments.

Last round of posts before our Christmas break! Get those posts in before Sunday this week :) We can continue to post, of course, but there's no 10-day deadline thing until January 5, when we start again.

Speaking of which, we'll move to the new thread for Chapter 2. I'll fire that up on January 5. However, we'll put a hard stop to new posts of any kind in this thread on January 2. This is to give me some time to consider any posts that have been posted. Also, I'll ask the mods to lock this thread at that time.

@Aeolian@vietmyke@TokyoPewPew@Silly@CaliforniaState
So, with Silly's latest post, the boss is technically "dead". This means that anyone can "execute" it in their next post. However, if you wish to continue to fight it, you can do so as a "narrative" fight, which means that the cards are no longer necessary! So, do whatever cool stuff you want, or kill right away. If not, I'll have it just drop dead in my next GM post.

Make sure to add the "Migraine" card in your next combat post, as everyone were inflicted by it :)

[Weather] Partially cloudy, sunny
[Temperature] -10c / 14f
[Target] @vietmyke}

Landow had been completely overrun. Fires were stirring, structures collapsing, and streets running wet with all sorts of horror. The insect scourge had gone through the town like a hot knife through butter, completely decimating everything standing in their way. The only pause to their relentless assault was the presence of the monstrosity that ended Leviathan’s life. It had become embolden by such a victory and advanced on the harbor with great ferocity. However, its confidence was unexpectedly misplaced, as the many Regalia present at the Festival immediately formed a barricade of resistance.

The very air and ground around the adversary began to freeze, and snow began to swirl about. The creature struggled to maintain mobility of its limbs, as the waters around its feet becoming heavy and jagged. If the onslaught of snow was not enough to obscure its vision, a thick, dark fog that rapidly descended upon the immediate area made any attempts at harming anything even more challenging. Striking its initial enemy, one that it had so boldly charged after its first prey, proved to mostly a futile endeavor as the dark knight was seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once. Through all of these debilitating conditions came rock and stone to completely obliterate the monstrosity with relentless abuse.

The abomination immediately became agitated with Akamu. Even if the blizzard’s origin had caught its attention and posed a great threat, the crippling aggression from the Titan attached to its very frame was of more concern. The monstrous creature struggled to control its footing, keeping balance, and gaining the upper hand on its assailant. After a few missed opportunities, it managed to grab the makeshift hammer mauling its face and use its force to push Titan aside into the frigid waters. The creature began to claw at its face and body, shedding skin and altering its mass and antennas, cracks of electricity – or some form of energy – emanating from its frame. Not only had it been viciously attacked by several Dominants, but it also been agitated by a presence in its mind. The creature eventually burst into a deafening roar that emitted a rapid shockwave of energy, shattering windows and Gaia’s protective dome. And then it violently began to swipe its claws at Titan.

Cards 17/20

The intruding energy coming from the monstrosity was felt far and wide. Gaia was disrupted in her meditation, and she quickly placed her palms on the sides of her head to dampen the noise. The shimmering dome that encapsulated the secret garden shattered, and the frigid air rapidly descended upon the dozing children. They awoke to even more chaos and confusion than when they fell asleep. Within the blink of an eye Gaia rose to a high hover above the bloom, the plushie remaining in the grass where she had sat. Her eyes slid open and beheld the swarms circling around the stone walls that Titan had manifested around the garden. Some of the children below began to cry, reaching their hands towards Gaia, but quickly being swept up by their parents. Gaia rose her arm at a perfect ninety degree angle to her frame, commanding roots to emerge from the depths of the earth, entangling between the rock formations to bolster the evergreen sanctuary.

Gaia thrust herself out of the garden and towards the battle at the harbor. She followed Titan’s trail of havoc and soon found the stage of the confrontation. She could sense the presence of the other Dominants quite vividly – Shiva’s frozen embrace, Bahamut’s looming dread, and Odin’s infinite grasp. Gaia extended an arm out with a flat palm towards the grotesque creature, and emitted a beam of glimmering light of greenish hues, as the thing relentlessly clawed at Titan. The creature recoiled at the impact of Gaia’s assault, but it simply continued its blind rage. She followed it up with two flicks of her hand that caused a pair of energy blasts to detonate on the monstrosity's back, emitting a flash of light that temporarily shed light in the dense fog around them.

The others had been quick to meet the master of the swarms early on, thus halting its advance and destruction. There did not appear to have been much damage flung about beyond the death of Leviathan. However, just to be sure, Gaia waved her hand at Odin to mend any injury that the enemy might have imposed. She did not worry too much about Titan, as he could certainly handle himself, and he was as hard if not harder than any rock in the ground.
