Canon Bump!

[lord_wizard]

This wouldn't be necessary require a post except for two reasons. One, he's been waiting on this particular update for about five or six years of game history. Two, I'm taking a slightly different approach to this.

Felix will be updating from his current canon point of just before the last book to the end of the series, but I will be doing so in small increments over the course of a month. Outwardly there really won't be many changes to his character except as noted. Character-wise, he'll have a few lingering questions about his fate answered, make a few more questionable life choices, probably save a country, and then get exiled from exile. You know, protagonist stuff. Roughly, the update schedule will proceed as follows, but feel free to ask at what point in the update Felix is if you aren't sure.

Bump 1 - Starting today, Felix will awake after having been bumped just past the start of Corambis after investigating the ruin of a house and unwittingly opening himself up to be possessed/haunted by the ghost of an evil wizard. He won't realize, initially, that the spirit is even there. He'll experience an increased number of nightmares during this period.

Please note: The spirit will be around for the duration of the month, though it is of no danger to anyone and it can only have control over him if he lets it, which will not happen. People around him are free to sense the spirit or an increase in dark/evil/necromantic energy around him if they have the ability to do so

Bump 2 - A week from now, Felix will sleep for half a day and wake up just after his unwilling participation in a ritual. There is no major change, beyond the fact that he'll be aware of the presence of the spirit.

Bump 3 - A week after that (around the 30th), Felix will sleep for a whole day. When he wakes the spirit will be under a mental seal but still be present. Additionally, his old magical bond with his brother will be broken and instead he will be under a binding spell that prevents his access to his magic. This will last until the end of the month (which will be a duration of two weeks).

Note: Canonically restriction to his magic, for Felix, also tends to result in increased sensitivity to magic. He's more likely to feel, sense, or see effects he wouldn't normally. This also includes being able to at least sense or hear spirits. Seeing spirits, however, still has to be done intentionally.

Bump 4 - The last bump will occur around June 5th. He'll likely fall asleep for around two days and wake at the end of the last book. All of the prior effects will have vanished.

If you have any question, concerns, or would like to plot anything during the month, please let me know here or hit me up on plurk @ calidragon

Goodbye pain god, hello angry skull face man!

Hey kids! Stick here, slowly crawling back into the game now that my life is a little calmer. Sadly, I've decided that I'm going to drop Robin Redbreast for now. I love playing him, but he's a pretty social character who gets deeply involved with people... so it hasn't been fair to his CR or his crew that I haven't been able to keep up with them. I'll bring him back someday for sure, once I know I've got the time and brains to commit to him again.

In the meantime, I'm bringing in another character to replace him! If you don't know Zhas, he's a human dude who walks around with a skull painted on his face because vampires killed his family and he's really not over it yet. He's irritable, barely socialized, and not very good at using his words. If you recognize Zhas from his first round in the Drift Fleet, he's coming back with a tiny canon update and all of the development he gained the last time he was here--so he's still awful, but is at least slightly less of a shitty person than he was the first time around.

I'm still working on getting his journal finished, but I've got a new permissions thing up in the FILL THIS OUT! section of his permissions post. If your character does stuff with illusion magic, exudes magically influencing aura nonsense, or deals with a lot of holy/unholy magic especially, give it a look-over! c:

Heeeere's Shuffle!

Hello everyone! We're sorry for the continued delays, and we hope players have been finding ways to keep busy at the party and toxic moon in the meantime! We'll finalizing the wrap-up post for terraformer and event stuff over the next couple of days.

Now that us head mods have had some adjustment time to see our new schedules and how our workloads and available time are actually going to pan out in the foreseeable future, it is clear to us that we're going to end up with less time than we had before. So, we're going to be doing some discussing internally over the next couple of weeks on how to restructure things, because we don't like this lag anymore than you all do. If anything comes up that will affect the players in the meantime, we will let you know about it. Otherwise, wish us luck as we brainstorm and plan!

For now, have a Shuffle. :)
