Hey, again. It's me and you, in the thick of it! This is the OOC for A Game of Desire, as you can see! Glad to have you, or glad to have you stopping in. Below are some useful terms, among other things. If you're here for the first time, you can go check out the Interest Check. It may prove crucial to understand some of this, or it may not. I, at least, recommend reading the first flavor intro.



This next part is a copy//pasted answer to a question I got about Weapons, Totems and their differences. Feel free to skip over it, if you feel you understand.



Up next are the Character Sheet Skeletons!





Feel free to expand on or reformat those, as you please!

Summation: The turn of the millennium brings about The Catalyst. The Event. The Game. Whatever label you attach to it matters little. Those of the Third Court descend into the Mortal Coil, specifically into Corner City; seeking champions, called Participants, to represent them in the struggle. If a Mortal should accept the offered Pact, they become a Participant; having a Sponsor on their side and an Effigy Emblem gifted to them. With their signature, sanguine on the Incantation's decay, they will face challenges determined by The Game Master, The Court, other Participants and countless other threats that emerge.

You will take control of a Participant and a Sponsor (but you do not have to play your character's Sponsor and vice versa. That kind of arrangement can be reached between players), and will leave your mark on the dying Incantation for The Event's ultimate reward; the promise of shaping the next Incantation as the winning Participant (or group//party) wills. We will begin with the setting Sun, as those Mortals to be chosen are sought out for their Desire.

It is that Desire that lies at the center of The Game. Sponsors and Participants alike share this.

As the countdown to the New Year reaches zero, a hideous change overtakes Corner City. Perhaps the entirety of the Mortal world. Mortals with strong Desires that were not championed become Obstacles, monstrosities that serve as grotesque and exaggerated parodies of a human's dark and hidden heart. Some will remain unchanged, their Desire too weak to attract a Sponsor...or turn them into Obstacles. Casualties.

As The Event progresses, more and more will become clear.


Well, that's that! For now, anyway! Thanks for reading and taking some time to get invested.

I'm looking forward to writing with everyone. Here's...

What I want//Rules: We'll keep things simple. I like simple, when it comes to this kind of thing.

•Don't be a douche.

•I expect everyone to play a Sponsor and Participant. You don't have to, but let me know if you're only wanting to play one or the other. I'll try and cover the slack, or find someone who will.

•Experiment, a little! Be creative, that kind of thing!

•All I expect is a paragraph per post. I think that's more than lenient.

•If you can't post for a bit, let me know.

•This one is weird, but I've had to deal with it in the past; KEEP OOC AND IC SEPARATE, PLEASE!

•Don't be afraid to hit me up privately if you want to do some scheming. Same with anyone else. This Game is all about forging//breaking relationships and character development, despite the setting.


A post will immediately follow this one, showing the sample characters of "Christian" and "The Last Adherent".

Feel free to ask me questions here, or PM them to me. Also, I'm bad at making fancy formatted stuff. Sorry about that!

Later.

Those who have expressed interest, in one way or another, get on in here!

Anyone else, feel free to apply. I would like to have quite the roster!

Went ahead and put two sample characters into that tab. I'll be playing them, but I plan to post my "main" characters sometime later tonight or tomorrow.

I'm gonna be brainstorming a character today! Might throw some incomplete sheets in here to get feedback. The premise really intrigues me but I'm small brain and just want to make sure I'm correctly understanding everything.

@Yankee No worries. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in mind.

@King CosmosI approve of this. Feel free to move your characters to the Character Tab.

Sorry for the short reply, guys. I'm a bit off today.

I wrote this sponsor with the intent to pair them with my own participant, but I don't mind sponsoring someone else! Participant to come at another time.

@YankeeI rather like The Devoted Paramour. Approved.

I will be posting two Participants and two Sponsors, sometime in the next couple of days. I'll let you guys decide if you want to work with them.

Been feeling pretty under the weather lately, but I'll get a participant sheet out asap. I was waiting until I had one to move Paramour over the character section so I could throw them both in one post.

OK so, if my participant is awarded a phone as an emblem can they contact their Sponsor to make vicious beasts appear, or drops bombs, or something? Can things be pilfered, or taken back without communication? And, is it that Sponsors cannot die or It and the participant can decease or be unaligned(separated, etc?)

Hey, everyone. Sorry for my absence. It may continue a while longer. I had a rather violent seizure and, during those throes, destroyed my monitor. Just thought I would give a reason for my absence.

In two or three days I'll get my check and get a new monitor/TV.

Sorry for the delays.

I will read over Characters and such, once I find some free time.

Thanks for sticking around.

Later.
