Boop received and responded too (well, I posted).

@Excession

Would I be correct in thinking that when they mention 'the Captain' they are talking about Mandalthraxus?

Also, I've just noticed that you've been calling the spider vampire captain Orohome in our game but use the name Orohomi in your lore document.

Correct!

I forgot about that typo; weird artifact in the doc from someone who had editing access that I keep forgetting to correct

[TaintedMushroom]

I noticed that typo but I didn't wanna say anything lmfao.

[Starmaker]

Heyo, came to make my present known; Ex grabbed me from Discord
I'm joining, I just prefer to do things there as I have direct lines of communication XD

Concept is an Avian ship Engineer, have been looking at the intricacies of how to transpose that into the setting!

Also, I like BBCode, so uh- Expect at least colored dialogue >3<

Hello! I also came to take a peek after a link from Excession. Here is a tentative draft of a informant character, with some <things in brackets> where I am uncertain what fits the setting.

Hulbrad Ydylis

Growing up as the fourth child of a branch family in the mountains, there was as much to learn from her older siblings as her tutors. Ydylis expected settle comfortably into a supporting role for her brother, Rothar, with room for leisure. Studying abroad in Stormspire <salons and libraries>, she attained a social intelligence to fit in comfortably with various personalities. Academically, she delved into mapping the oddities of time and space. In the midst of celebrating a peer-reviewed publication, she deciphered a communique indicating her father took ill.

Attempting to return home, Ydylis was instead directed to serve the House by taking up a post in Kontina. There was a retainer expecting her arrival in the furnished office in Silks. It has been three months since arriving. The clients she inherited have begun to trust her word. At the same time, her siblings have largely been silent even though she has independently confirmed continued shipments to the family manor.

With future financial support from the family uncertain, Ydylis has turned to a side business of <some activity that Orohom would tolerate until convenient not to>.

Appearance
Scion, feminine, with dusky brown skin and a fathoms-dark gaze. Statuesque and well-dressed. A penchant for ostentatious wide-brimmed hats, which she uses to impose a silent demand for personal space in crowded streets.

Languages
Urd; Shaydensea; some other language she learned purely to annoy Hulbradim peers when encoding communiques in bawdy ballads and unrefined poetry.

[Excession]

Excellent. Being Hulbradim get ready for several layers of conspiracy.

@rush99999 So something I don't remember us clearing up, did you pick up the good doctor before or after your last job? Also so excited for so many new characters!

@TaintedMushroom

Do you have a preference?

Also so excited for so many new characters!

@TaintedMushroom

The feeling is mutual.

[GD]

@Excession Would this draft of Hulbrad Ydylis be okay to add to Characters?

Can't access the file, but once you unlock it feel free to post it in the character thread and any changes can be made as necessary.

[GD]

Whoops, fixed. Thanks!

@rush99999 Very fun characterization you've done with Chwegwn's six bodies.

@TaintedMushroom Poor, paranoid Lybar Adrian. I wonder how more Scions in the mix will make him feel.

@Abstract Proxy Cold Hands seems well steeped in Cold Truths. Looking forward to seeing such poetry play out in combat too.

I'm also looking forward to seeing more characters!

[Excession]

Who up standing before those decrepit gates without really knowing why?

By which I mean updates in a bit, plot threads dangled. No one need rush, just enjoy the show.

[rush99999]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Abstract Proxy]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

@rush99999

!!!

I can't believe another year is so soon upon us, but hooray indeed!

@GD

Thank you! She's been fun to write, I will have to do some thinking and writing to her fighting is up to snuff.

I dig the informant character you have up too, she looks like a lovely addition to the crew.

@Excession

Are any of the contestants on the lineup particularly well known?

@rush99999

First fight are new blood, no real buzz yet - but you've been out of town a couple of weeks.
Wildcards are total unknowns, likely recent arrests.
Trant is a Spriggan who has never lost a fight, so now he just does displays where audience members can try to hit him and win a cash prize. No one has hit him yet.
Irulaan is a moderately famous fighter, Human, runs a gym in the city, generally well-regarded as a level-headed pillar of her borough. Damn near supernatural with a glaive.
Yarrick is the reigning champion of the last big tournament, heavily augmented, named for his extra-long mechanical arm tipped with an axeblade. So lacking in charisma it's said to have driven his manager to drink but he can certainly fight.
The arena attendant will answer any questions you have, with some embellishment.

Writing an NPC based on this song, better hope she doesn't like you.
