Monsters, mayhem, magic and dungeons galore: this is all that's left in the rubble of the ruined world. So who's going to clean up this mess?
IᎶ
You were born today from an egg. With a virtual pat on the back and a little push, you toddled right out from Hivemind's stew and into a world of wonder and danger. Congratulations, you're the clean up crew, and you've got one teensy, wheensy job: Make the world habitable and kill all the nasties for Hivemind, pretty please. Yay!
Unfortunately, much to the dissapointment of Hivemind, Igs have a tendancy to die. Alot. Much like lemmings, really. But a few struggle on, turning their hard-won experience into abilities beyond comprehension, aquiring artefacts of immeasurable power. Those with a sharp eye and a finely honed sense of self-preservation just might end up turning that old stinky dungeon into their own personal castle.

The roleplay is broken clearly into chapters, with initial chapters being shorter as your character finds their feet. The prologue works differently as people settle in and say hello.
- EXPLORE: Scout out the environment, deciding what locations are best (for example, a party with lots of fire weapons would easily destroy alot of ice monsters) whether the loot is worth the risk, and prepare for any unique hazards.
- CLEAR: Succeed at your mission objective, usually involving killing lots of monsters, but not always.
- LOOT: Get them lovely XPS, rare items, and treasure.
- RETURN: Get home in one piece preferably alive. At Hivemind, sell your items, get resurrected, see if there is any news and upgrade yourself.
So with all that said and done, what type of Ig are you?
