Regalia

<Snipped quote by Aeolian>

Your comment inspired me to dread there will be a "Only Regalia" accounts on the net.

On a side note, I am deep into Nibelheim lore. In the middle of a version 2. Just incase anyone was thinking of any connections there so we can align up. I have spoken to Aeolion who said about their character being from there originally, so expanded the mythos!

Short version is Gaelic-Norse inspired with some very old and deep traditions. This has a duality with its capital, which is become like a mini-Hollywood with the commercialisation of the mythology and culture with movies and tv series, bringing around a new way. So Pagan and Neo-Paganism within the land, as it were.

@Silly

I'm from Sweden, so I look forward to reading this :) I love it when Norse mythology is in media. I was a bit disappointed by how Odin was portrayed in the "God of War" game, but eh, can't have everything.

Thank you, thank you :) Sorry I didn't tag you in the general message, but I edited it in! I'll look at this today.

I think this is everyone. So, a message: I'd like for character sheet applications to be ready and submitted by this Sunday. That's your Sunday, depending on where you are in the world. Also, as you can see, there's more than 8 people applying, so I'll have to cut a few. This kind of story and genre doesn't fit well with a huge cast, unfortunately. But, we can talk as much as you want and explain why I chose one over the other, if you want. There's also the future, and people dropping off, so I'll keep everyone in mind that aren't there in the beginning.

edit: @Aku the Samurai!

Sounds great, looking forward to it! Though, are we permitted to do something like this, @Mirandae? I worry that having all three in one nation might run counter to something you had planned.

Though! If Votara is some sort of border / buffer standing against @Tlaloc's prosperous theocratic nation, maybe it makes sense to have them there? Perhaps my Regalia is also harvested for resources alongside being used as some sort of soldier-y person (as she is a criminal and may have less rights than your usual upstanding citizen).

Just brainstorming, very open to suggestions!

@rabidbacon

It's okay. Every nation will have 1 or more Regalia. Although, if you're working together, maybe put Garuda in Glasia? Neighbor to the east. This way, you can still mention the collaboration between Garuda/Ramuh, but still keep things open for a potential player in the future.

Regalia

Lovely discussions :)

@Teyao
Thank you, thank you. I will look at this today.

@Tlaloc
The only thing I thought of for this was that the Regalia's mind is the only thing that remains human in the Dominant Form. The Dominant can't control the Regalia's action, they can't control what is said, or anything else. However, your internal communication with the Dominant will be strong in the Dominant Form. I think I wrote somewhere in the lore that if the Regalia does too much weird shit that the Dominant doesn't like, the Dominant will eventually leave the Regalia. And, being Regalia is quite addictive, so having been abandoned is harsh.

@vietmyke
No problem :) take your time with it. If there really isn't anything that fits, then leave it - that works too.

@rabidbacon
I sent you notes in PMs :)

@Mole
Oh, I see. Well, thanks for your interest and good wishes!❤️ Feel free to stop by any time. If there is a particular reason why you bowed out or some issue that you feel I should know, then hit me up in PMs :)

@vietmyke
Excellent :) only note is Gaia being the Dominant of 'nature'. Also, no soundtrack? I bet there's something that really fits this hunk! Other than that, all good. Post it in the character tab.

@Aeolian
Very avant-garde and super aesthetic (including soundtrack!), babe, AS ALWAYS. Get that cutie posted in the character tab :)

Regalia

@rabidbacon
I will look at this in the morning :) well, morning for me. My time zone is CET.

@Mirandae Awesome, one last question then I can get writing after work: is it possible for a Regalia to have a higher fame than the Cult Size listed for their Dominant? I have a few different ideas and this will help me sort out which fits best.

@Sylvan

Yes, the cult size and character fame does not have to match. Some combinations are unlikely, though. For example, being an unknown Regalia with Ultima as your Dominant.

Regalia

Asking for character sheet & homeland reasons, has anyone picked Garuda and of so would you want to work together on a nation of lightning & wind?

@Sylvan

I don't think anyone has picked Garuda, that I know of. I say go ahead and write that nation up anyway. If there is a Garuda, you guys can get in touch later.

Regalia

Salutions. This looks like an interesting little story. I'm messing with an idea for Gilgamesh if no one's chosen that yet.

@Aku the Samurai

Hello! Welcome. There's been little mention of Gilgamesh. I don't know if anyone is using that in secret around here, but go for it.

Yeahh...sorry bout last time 😅 I had a lot going on during that time. This time I'll be good

@AlteredTundra

Well, alright. Then you're welcome, love. Go with whatever character idea that speaks to you the most.

Regalia

Final Fantasy inspired? Sign me the fuck up!

I'm currently leaning towards two character ideas.

One is a samurai-leaning type from that far off land of Tenshi who is seeking power to bring prosperity to his small village. A very journey to the west-inspired character. Full of honor and all that jazz. Likely someone that would ironically get the dark element.

The second is a fame-chaser, over the top (including mustache and all) aristocrat from a wealthy family. Eccentric billionaire, playboy, philanthropist (so fame is kinda high with this one as it is). Maybe going with Fire with this one. Think this one might be from Archadia or some very wealthy nation under Etro, indivisible and money/fame for all!

@AlteredTundra

Are you going to behave this time or will you make 2 ic-posts and disappear again?
