Best Of

I wanna play but I can't weigh in on all of them.

3. Nep would have the toughest time getting brain swapped with someone from Glomdoring, because he's very much anti-dogma and Glom seems like a place where you have to drink the Kool-aid to get by.

4. Favorite customized item is hands down the armband Tonatiuh designed from the silk ribbon Aschwar used to bind Afrit's and Nep's hands to the rhyton cup at their wedding. I customized my spouse stalker pendant to be that armband and had it programmed to do one of these when Afrit logs in. ;_;



As for non-customized, gotta be that warm, weighted comfort blanket that looks suspiciously like a certain dracnari belly.

I write my characters to be a "main character" for me, but not necessarily for everyone. So they're more like comfortable assistant characters in the world, but I wouldn't consider myself a "main character" in the overarching story of Lusternia.

That's more or less how I feel, too. If a character is my 'main' in a MUD, then they're certainly the 'main character' of their own story, but in the majority of RP scenes, they're not probably gonna be the 'main character.' And to other characters, who are the main characters of their own stories, my character might play a bit part, or be a rival, or a love interest, or a mentor, or a comic relief character, or... any number of things.

I have also made characters to be part of the background, like @Togna said, and I think it can be a lot of fun (and really add a lot to the game world, too, when I'm not the one doing it), so I totally do get it. But for better or worse, I can never really bring myself to do it with a character I 'main.'

Since I can't go to sleep, time to revive this thread!

1. What are your favorite easter eggs (or maybe just weird secrets) in the game?
2. For those of you who have been playing a long time, how much has your character evolved and how much do you feel you have evolved since you started?
3. If we had some sort of Freaky Friday situation happen, what is the org that you would find your character in that is radically different than the one they are in now, and why?
4. What are your favorite items (both personal/customised and not)?

1. Petting the grubs in Amberni

2. I feel that Orv, while Idealistic, has also become a little more pragmatic/aggressive as the centuries have progressed. She's literally progressed from Dreamer to Happily Lost in terms of faith in switching from Hoaracle *gasp* to Darvellan. Family's still a thing she clings to despite most of her immediate family being gone/dead. She's devoted to her husband, Shaddus, and loves her 'Grands' children and nieces and nephews and nibbles(niblings). As for me as a player, I've realised my mindscape/imagination for things has definitely changed over the years- I have an half-finished, unpublished book that Orv wrote while still a wee baby Amaneunsis in the Institute, and reading it I can't really place myself in the same state of mind to even remember where to begin to take it to or where I wanted it to end. Especially since handwavium 'science!' is harder to justify with the new publishing guidelines or so I hear. 

3. Not terribly sure. If all Kethuru broke lose, she'd mostly likely go rogue and take up living in the Tree of Trees with Rikitosk and end up a devotee to Father Sun along with the Morningsong Sisters. Fall in with the 'nulis, coronuli. Start a Sundancer faeling tribe, sell suncakes, suncreen and propaganda from her balloon...

4.  A key from the Enigma Himself. It goes nowhere terribly special. A result of a very funny misunderstanding, and Him humoring said misunderstanding.
 
Also, Orventa's changeling cameo.

I write my characters to be a "main character" for me, but not necessarily for everyone. So they're more like comfortable assistant characters in the world, but I wouldn't consider myself a "main character" in the overarching story of Lusternia.

Lendren does stick to the theatrical superstitions about wishes of good luck before a show. Sometimes I think about choosing some play to be the analog of "The Scottish Play". She also has the idea that her aethership/sparrow Giallyn can sense if people are secretly malicious and watches how she reacts to people they meet. (It occurs to me she's never actually told that to anyone in game though.)

I just bought Nocht, Vira, and Drocilla stickers! Keep making villain Gods so I can keep my collection going! Also, I found a F'ai Glomdoring sticker by Daine, so I obviously had no choice there, either. 

I think most people who are close to Cory already know this, but she is distrustful of all uncles and believes that everyone who is an uncle of any form is evil, because the first few uncles of hers that she met turned out to all be evil.

Nels believes that firefly squid are little beacons when the Inner Sea is dark to help guide ships away from danger (though it didn't help poor Cpt. Narule). She also believes that each firefly represents a star in the sky (which doesn't work with mechanics, because there's only 48, but a girl can dream).

Now, have you held all 48 at once? How do you know there are only 48? 


Maybe the rest are hiding from you
