[OOC] Regalia

[Silly]

@Tlaloc
I wonder what a 'power tier' list would look like! Dominants and Regalia aren't equal in strength, as I've apparently written in the codex, lol -- I forgot this.

@Mirandae

I am just imagining the Avengers style line up of the Dominants.

They are all there, looking large and impressive, gods made flesh, as the camera pans across them, and then suddenly you have Godzilla and Jörmungandr dwarf them.

"We cannot take you two anywhere with us!"

<Snipped quote by Mirandae>

I do like these a lot. Though this is my intrepretatioms of them.

Neon is like "oh, it is you again?" in that demure look.
Akuma and Laura are like "Yeah!" and really happy go lucky. Accadia pride!
Cassiel is like "This is my practice makes perfect portrait sculptured casual look"
Matthias has that really intense stare as if a star in an action movie.
Lisabeth has a polite smile with bemusement as she just saw you doing something dumb.
Yrkhala is that goth on school portrait day or a police line up.
Nyx looks like she is contemplating the best way to devour your soul.

@Silly

Aloha! Accadia takes it easy 🤙

@Silly

Aethalos comes with her very own Rain of Sadness as she is perpetually benched

Love everyone's images - each one as a unique vibe that's in line with the character.
It almost feels like the photographer's distance implies what sort of person took the picture (professional studio, selfie, friend, stranger, fan, stalker, etc - in no particular order lmao)

Thanks @Mirandae! You captured how I imagined Aethalos' gaze.

@rabidbacon

Good point, Cassiel's is the most 'formal', the least personal, which fits him very well.

@rabidbacon

If looks could kill... I wouldn't want to cross Mattias, Nyx, and Aethalos!

Yrkhala gets a pass because she looks awesome and I would be too fixated on them to run away.

[Tlaloc]

"So, you committed heresy against Ultima."

[Mirandae]

So, just to update:

I've written most of the first GM/environment post or whatever you'd call it. I have my own character-first post to write, but it should be fairly fast.

I'm also doing in-character banners! YES, MORE BANNERS. I decided we need something super sleek and different from the character sheet banners. This is what they'll look like -- very clean, no names or other bullshit, just your character and their dominant.

Laura's IC banner

edit.
This is the banner where it will be real easy to change character image whenever you want -- it could be a mood change, clothing, whatever.

@Aku the Samurai I like how Aethalos and Usui feel like polar opposites of a sort if it makes sense. Their functional roles in their respective nations (well, ex-nation in Aethalos' case) are similar but inversely so.

[Tlaloc]

If any of you are lucky enough to walk in the radiant Haagent Gardens of Malkuth, you'd see the golden likeness of our lord and saviour. 😇

@Mirandae Are we allowed to update the Home part of our character's bio? I was thinking of giving Votera giant electric death rays that can weaponize the city's vast surplus of electric and crystal power. They are outwardly peaceful but have deterrents hidden in plain sight - the windmills open up and turn into weapons if need be.

I want to create a vibe of "nice if you're nice to us, but if you want to fuck around and find out, you will"

Edit: can we also add / edit more stuff as we think of them? Like... cuisine, customs, fashion, etc...

[Silly]

I would assume that adding things like cuisine and customs would be a thing you are allowed to do.

[Mirandae]

@rabidbacon
Yes, totally! It's your lore, essentially. Just update us when you add/change/remove something and what that was, so I can just give a it a quick thumbs up. Windmill death rays? 👍👍👍 go for it!

[Mirandae]

Okay, so here's the final update for tonight (for me).

The in-character banners are done. Aeolian does art of her character herself, so I'll tinker with that when she's done. But, here is everyone else. I'll put this in the "0th" post of the in-character as well, along with a local map and how to do timestamps.

In-Character Banners

I prompted these to be a 'casual morning look' sort of. This is just a default for now. Whenever you want to change something in these in-character images, just hit me up and I'll take care of it along any requests you have for mood, clothes, etc :)

That being said and done, I'll start the in-character within 24 hours from now. I only have my own character post left to write, which I'll do tomorrow (for me).

[rabidbacon]

I have a question about Crystals, how long does it take for one "chunk" to form? And why are they more abundant underground when the Regalia are above ground - do they seep into the ground when the Residue is released? On that thought, does it exhaust the Regalia to release Residue / are there finite amounts they can give in a day?

@Mirandae

Nyx on a 'casual morning' according to AI:
"I have become Void, destroyer of worlds, and I have come to devour all beings. With the onset of the cycle, all beings shall meet their end, and new ones shall emerge in their place."

Thankfully, she settles down once she had her wheetabix.

[Aeolian]

So there's no confusion lol

I've updated my character sheet. Neon is now Cécile Heartfilia and got a new look too. I also updated his personality a bit since he seemed too "oh wise one" perfect lol Aint no 20 year old that wise. I also included more details about Eshea for anyone who hadn't seen it.

Cheers! <3

[Tlaloc]

All the best characters are named C[-]cile~.

(Our duo name is -seel team 2.)

[Aeolian]

True! LOL What are the other teams then?

Edit: I totally misunderstood your joke at first! XD!

[Tlaloc]

True! LOL What are the other teams then?

@Aeolian

"Blonde Ambition" for Laura and Cassiel. 😂
