Or search for a wiki provider of your choice.

[Muttonhawk]

@Kho I've got a good idea for a lore wiki, if you guys can do github stuff.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Incidentally, I can. But then again, I've got a few too many projects already to take up more programming. What was your idea, specifically?

Edit: You weren't going to make a repo to use the wiki feature for this RP, were you? The markup is pain incarnate, man. Sorry.

[Double Capybara]

Tbh I always had this silly idea of making a TV Tropes Page since some RPs have it... but my life is a trainwreck and I never have time for that kind of stuff.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Muttonhawk Nope, I was thinking something more liiike ss13polaris.com/wiki/doku.php

[lif]

Well, if we really must make a wiki, I'll snap us up a Logo, if you guys want.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Oh, I see. What's that? Like a DM wiki? A doku wiki? My dad once set one of those up. I guess that could work. Nice and customisable.

I mean, given some effort, you might be able to put in some means for the luddites our friends to input things without having to mess with github.

How did you want to go about it?

[Muttonhawk]

Well, if we really must make a wiki, I'll snap us up a Logo, if you guys want.

@poog the pig

Any artwork is appreciated as far as I can see, wiki or not.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Muttonhawk Currently talking with some tech friends on how to go about it. Gimme a day or two. Be warned though that if my first choice doesn't work, you may just be stuck with a wetskrell.org subdomain.

@Scarifar Get in the collab dork!!!!

[Muttonhawk]

... wetskrell.org subdomain...

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Muttonhawk wetskrell is an inside joke, ok. It's funny in context!

@Muttonhawk

I'm just calling dibs

[Muttonhawk]

The entire state is out of power here. Big storm.

If I don't come back in a week, assume the Mad Max scenario and have someone take over writing Conata until I get back.

Creation - 4 Might
Conceptual

Name: Vowzra's Victors
Description: A large Order of some 1,000 individuals dedicated to Vowzra, Belruarc and Illunabar, as well as Belvast and The Bard. The Order is made up of loyal adherents whose base is New Chronos and who are a central part of its ever-expanding, undying community. On New Chronos, they forge their specialised weapons and their unique spider-silk armour, and are trained on a perpetual basis in preparation for a time when they would have to protect New Chronos or venture into the Universe outside in order to carry out the will of their guardian gods.
Vowzra's Victors are specialised in the use of weaponry and 'Wi', a form of magic heavily centred around telekinesis which the Victors unlocked over their eons in Chronos with the aid of both Vowzra and the Bard.
They are distinguished by their spider-silk armour, which covers them from head to toe, and which is impossibly light while offering protection far beyond anything most naturally-occuring metals can provide. The silk is harvested from the Chronos Silk-Spider with a special technique known only to the Victors, and the armour is likewise created using another such technique.
They are also distinguished for their viciously curved short-swords which have an extra long grip for two-handed use when necessary. In addition to that, also usually wield pole-swords which have a razor-sharp naginata blade at one end and a spearhead at the other.
The Victors are staunchly loyal and religious, they have faith in all their guardian gods and truly believe that they are protected - whether it is by the 'Celestial Above', Chronos itself, 'Our Master the Bard and Our Master Belvast', or by 'Our Mother of the Cherry' or 'Our Mother of the Words'. They follow them all and do their bidding as it best deserves to be done. Years of meditation, contemplation and rigorous study, as well as training and living together have also given them increased mental capacity, focus, discipline, organisation, and skill with 'Wi'. On the battlefield or in the temple, these are warriors famed, models of human character and morals, and unmatched worshippers of their guardian gods.
Amongst the Victors are also those who are specialists in covert action and are nigh impossible to detect in their covert form, even by low-level gods. These particular brothers, given the honorific 'Silent Brother' or 'Silent Sister', are capable of becoming invisible (hiding their presence completely and making them nigh impossible to detect) and teleporting long distances. This has limits. They cannot, for instance, teleport from one planet to another as such would require Wi reserves which they simply do not have.
One of the key differences between Victors and normal inhabitants of New Chronos is that even when they leave Chronos. Moreover, the Time energies within them mean that, when a guardian god intervenes, they are capable of recovering from the most serious injuries and even come back to life after being slain (this is a complete return to life and not 'undeath').
Victors usually refer to one another with the honorific, 'Brother' or 'Sister'. Particularly powerful Victors, who are not of the 'Silent' variation, are given the honorific 'Battle Brother' or 'Battle Sister'.
Appearance: All Victors, when going into battle, are dressed the same. They are covered from head to toe, much like mummies, in Spider-Silk. The head is likewise covered, but has on it the Vowzrid Mark. Above this first layer comes the second, a white silk-spider robe with a wide hood. This is exceptionally thick and can absorb blunt damage just as well as it resists being cut. Above this comes the final layer, which is a white full-body cloak also of spider-silk. The back of this last layer also sports the Vowzrid Mark.

Okay, I'm fine, but this happened:

Also, unrelated:

... 'Battle Brother' ...

@Muttonhawk That was either one hell of a storm, or those are some flippin' flimsy whatchamadjigs. Or both.

And I honestly can't remember whether I actually based that part on Space Marines or not. Originally they were all 'Brother' this or 'Sister' that (in Mk.I that is), but I eventually introduced what came to known as 'The Hallowed Hundred' (basically, elite Victors) and those were referred to as 'Battle Brothers/Sisters' to differentiate them from the others. You may have guessed, but there were in fact one hundred of those guys and gals.

But I freely admit: the idea of the Victors was always loosely based around Space Marines (less so in this iteration as they're not going around crushing Xenos). Except that they dwell in something closer to the stone age relative to actual Space Marines.

[Muttonhawk]

Oh, it was just a crazy storm. The craziest storm in decades. The power was out in the entire state for several hours.

Also, I probably should have made it clear that I wasn't calling you out on anything. The space marines are so transferable that they simultaneously rip off and are ripped off by just about any warrior order. I'm just a fan of Commander Boreale memes and read out 'battle brothers' in his voice when I got to that part of the sheet.

[Kho]

@Muttonhawk Haha, I know you weren't, I just like going off on rants about the background of whatever I've made at any given opportunity >.> then again, if I didn't find my own stuff interesting I'd be concerned ^^'

Hmm, we don't really get that kind of weather here in London. Our weather is all about the stiff upper lip and not showing too much (read: any) emotion. You know, how good, civilised weather is meant to be.

Him: Wassat?
Her: Oh nothing dear. Just those barbaric peasants subjects at it again.
