May Summary

Hi, everyone! Here’s a little month-end summary to recap what’s happened at the game this month for anyone who’s missed anything. No AC this month, but in the future, that’ll be here as well.

This is also a good place to ask any questions, ask for any NPC interaction, plan anything you’d like on your end.

Please also note, since this was not explicitly stated elsewhere, that for every three days of real time, one day passes in game. Also, we have a lot of fun things planned, so let's get posting, friends! Invite your pals to join.


Month End Summary
  • Characters arrived in the city of Dagaz. They were informed that they were brought in as potential mates for Prince Tristan, the Nysgod prince.
     
  • Characters met Adriana and Casey in the Waiting Room, two non-Nysgods who were placed in charged of them.
     
  • The characters were given a communication device that fits into their ear, keys to their rooms, a set of extra white clothing. The only food offered was a nutritional paste, but Nysgod Jaan came by with food for the characters and a letter for Adriana.
     
  • Characters were told that ball would soon be happening in which they would meet Tristan. If he didn’t claim them as mate, they would be allowed to return home.
     
  • Characters woke up one night to lights being off in the Waiting Room and weapons by their bedside. A few characters found out someone was in the Waiting Room, but no one was actually seen. After a few hours, the lights came back on and weapons were confiscated. Adriana remained very hush about the whole thing and Casey was nowhere to be seen.
     

Nysgods

At this point, the following information is known about the Nysgods:
  • They are a pale haired race. Only men are born into the race, women are turned.
     
  • Dagaz is the capital city.
     
  • They are capable of changing form and creating very impressive illusions. Their shadows cannot be hidden, however.
     
  • They are very, very long lived.
     
  • The Nysgods are pacifists. Weapons and violence are strictly forbidden.
     
  • They fall in love only once in their lives, on some sort of soulmate principle.
     

IMPORTANT CURRENT INFORMATION

Your characters will begin having nightmares. Not naked-in-public dreams or running-from-a-faceless-monster dreams. They will nightly be facing their worst nightmares, in a very vivid way. Your characters will explicitly remember every detail of their dreams upon waking. Scared of a loved one dying, of becoming evil, of being locked in a room wit ha certain villain, of dying a certain way? Your character will be experiencing this at night. Suffice it to say, tensions are running high.

It's a lady! It's a country! It's...no seriously, who the hell is that?

Hello everyone!

I'm Isabelle, and I'm bringing you the glorious trainwreck that is the Weimar republic. He's technically Ludwig/Germany from That Silly Anime about nations as people who run around during WWII shouting at each other, but because he's from an earlier historical period - and I try to base him on history as much as possible - he acts quite a bit differently from the stodgy Germanies you may have seen before. Weimar is a serious party girl, drag queen, drug addict, artist, and part-time whore with a bad temper and several buckets full of poorly-suppressed issues.

A note on gender and pronouns and things: Weimar is not transgender. He's a crossdresser and somewhat genderqueer. I'll be using both male and female pronouns in narration for him at different times, just as he'll use different pronouns/names and descriptors for himself. He won't really get worked up about whatever your character calls him, as long as it's not 'it'. This is complicated by the fact that in his era, most of these concepts didn't exist in their modern PC format, and Weimar wouldn't give a fuck even if they did, so he isn't going to be giving people awareness-raising lectures on fluidity. In fact, he's just as likely to be offensive himself.

Trigger Warning for various -isms. )

I think that's everything for now. This place looks super fun, and I can't wait to play with all of you guys!
