(Siber again dealing with horrid internet, ignore this.)

@Archangel89 sorry for the laughing face on the CS, I can't figure out how to undo it 🤦‍♀️

@FollowthePath meh don't worry about it I haven't thought twice about it simce I first saw it lol. This has me excited this is gonna be an.imterestimg geoup

@Archangel89 -- oh yeah, it will be.

Hi guys, I'm jumping on this train now.

Room for one more?

I'm thinking I'll start with a 'prelude' for the story, of sorts, so that people can start posting without making progress in the 'main story' while we wait for all players to complete their characters. When everyone is ready, we'll start 'chapter 1' or something like that to mark the beginning of the main story.

@Krash
I'm guessing it's this one, also based on your character's chronicle.


@Rockette
Oh yes, baby. More than welcome.

@Salsa Verde
As long as nodogs doesn't think I'm trying to snatch players from his game or something, we're all good. Always room here, welcome. Even if it seems crowded, you know how it is—life will happen for some, eventually.

i've actually been lurking thinking of a good concept i want to put to paper for this never got the chance to join the previous iteration so i was kinda hyped to see you brought it back!

@Prisk Amended, the picture is the only one I see as good as I've reviewed other options V_V.

@nodogs
Hah, there he is! You're very welcome, as well, of course—now or whenever your muse puts that idea on paper.

@DeadDrop
That's okay. We'll keep it as it is, but do continue to look for something. I'll look for something myself. I'm pretty sure that guy in the concept art is based on an actor, as I recognize that face.

Put it all up in the character tab.

I assumed it was heavily based on Kit Harrington

It's so lovely to see you two again! @Prisk @DeadDrop

I missed Bleak sooooooooooo much! One of my favorite RPs of all time.

It felt like we made the atmosphere of that RP so dramatic and yet, really dreamy. If seems like Bleak 2.0, I am soooooo in!

Gonna get started on a character! Cheers! <3

@Prisk

Look what you did, you summoned him.

Man, why does Game of Thrones feel like it concluded 10 years ago? I think that's the guy I had in mind but couldn't name.

@Aeolian
Hey! Well, look at that. All the old greats of the past showing up out of the blue. I love that.

@Prisk

Mhmm! It's so nice seeing some of the old gang back at it with another Prisk Production lol

Also, here's my character. Hope she checks out!

Cheers!

@Aeolian
Great concept—sort of 'mad' scientist, yes? There are two things, though, that I can comment on.

First, the timeline is a bit wonky. The comet arrived ten years ago, when your character was 34. Your chronicle reads much differently at this time. Am I right in this? Otherwise, I completely misunderstood everything.

Second, the spirits and 'mind' magic. I think it was during the first iteration of The Spirits Within, years ago, that I and those players deliberated on what spirits could and couldn't do. All sorts of 'mind' magic was excluded. Spirits express themselves purely in an elemental fashion. So, reading minds is something that we'll have to cut out and replace, completely, unfortunately.

There isn't as much focus on character powers/abilities in this as it is in typical Marvel/DC stuff, I think. By 'focus' I mean 'uniqueness'. In this, it's more how you attack instead of what you are attacking with. So, any uniqueness has to come from the 'techniques' a character uses to express spirit/elemental magic. I listed some common techniques, but they're by no means the only ones. I gave my own character a technique that isn't listed, and that's fine. I encourage everyone to keep this in mind.

@Prisk If you don't mind one more hopping aboard, I'd like to take a stab at it.

@metanoia
Hey! Sure. Wait a second, something looks similar between you and @Archangel89.

@FollowthePath@Archangel89@Krash@Martian@DeadDrop
To the guys that have character sheets ready in the tab: the 'prelude' is available in the IC-tab. You do what you want with it, but it's there for you to start posting while we wait for others. If you want to simply wait, then that's fine too.

@Siber@RezonanceV
Post your character sheets in the character tab whenever you guys are ready with your edits. I realize that I didn't quite make this clear before that you're all good to go.

the ic coding is so pretty im kicking my legs and giggling like a little girl
