Re: Lusternian AMA
@Kailanna regarding item 4. Mention it IC to Uzriel IC, he's pieced together some of it but is also interested in learning more about it. That's also a very cool mystery that would be fun to have brought up IC again.

Re: Lusternian AMA
1. Like Sapphira said the top of the clocktower room and how you can get blown off and smack your head into the Megalith is awesome. Also the room description changes based on if it is day or night. Anytime I notice something or time-based ambient (so many sunrise/sunset rooms in mag) like that I love it. There's also tons of hidden responses from the nobles in the Presidio (and freaking nighthawks in the sky which I never noticed until last week).Terentia said:Since I can't go to sleep, time to revive this thread!
- What are your favorite easter eggs (or maybe just weird secrets) in the game
- 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?
- 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?
- What are your favorite items (both personal/customised and not)?
2. It's probably more subtle than people would have noticed, but at first Uzriel's mad-scientist routine meant he actively looked down on magic/rituals. He's since found religion and sees how they can be combined together.
3. The most amusing answer is probably Celest. Where Uzriel would apply his amoral scientific mind to trying to revive one of the Holy Celestine Empire's doomed soulless related projects.
4. This is a tough one! For customized, probably my gnome weapon turned into a geochemantic mask - though I may want to retouch it to be a skull (family symbol) instead of the bird-style plague mask along with a custom weapon. Non-customized would be the medallion of knowledge.

Terentia said:Since I can't go to sleep, time to revive this thread!The old ritual room hidden under the Megalith, and how hanging out on top of the bell tower construction often results in you falling on your face at the nexus. Also Edwin d'Vanecu and the way he talks to his science project (it's a she, by the way).
- What are your favorite easter eggs (or maybe just weird secrets) in the game?
Sapphira was going to be a lot less refined than she is becoming for sure - a bit absent-minded and haphazard and a dreamy artistic type. Lots of twists along the way and she's far from where she began already.
- 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?
Probably Celest for all the Light and stuff, or Serenwilde which seems so wholesome in comparison to how she is now.
- 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?
Pretty much everything she has is her own crafting or design, ha. Do love her custom paintbrush though, which was a gnomeweapon pen gifted to her by her now husband Uzi, and now lets me fling ink at people and make art out of killing things!

Re: Lusternian AMA
1. Lunette... I've been going around telling people that the reason your thread is cut is because you got sacrificed to the Library because it didn't get enough books to sate its hunger (watch out, library aides!)
I wasn't around for the old guilds so I can't answer 2. I do like that the new guilds are not exactly essential for quality of playing, and this makes us join the guilds only because we genuinely enjoy it and really want to.
4. Nothing comes to mind, so I will edit this if I think of anything!
5. Not a historical figure per se, but it would be fun if some stories were released about regular people in the older civilizations that fell during/before Vernal Wars! (not the story of the Vernal Gods, but of regular people living their lives in that time period).
6. Visibility is good for me, personally! But even otherwise, I like to send letters (more than prayers) and I like receiving acknowledgements of them! I also personally feel much less nervous interacting with an NPC than a Divine (although they might be controlled by the same person).

I have returned!
Hello! For any of you that recognize my name, I have returned! ...Sort of! I'm going to be logging in sporadically for a while, but I hope to be around more regularly. I also have a favor to ask! I got a new laptop about a year or two ago and sadly I have lost most of my logs. Since I haven't played Ino in about... I want to say two or three years, I've forgotten a lot of stuff and I'd like to refresh my memory. If you happen to have any logs of Ino you wouldn't mind sharing, please feel free to message me here on the forums or in the game! Thank you so much!

Re: Superstitions
Ev has always held, and to this day still believes, that curios are insidious little devices/creatures that are taking their time to slowly infiltrate the Basin of Life, waiting for the perfect moment to assert their collective independence and launch a devastating surprise attack that no one will see coming.

Neladahi said:My Magnagoran believes, like many Magnagorans, that the Fates are traitorous creatures who betrayed Magnagora's trust during the events of Project Cosmic Hope. She also doesn't like that Magnagora uses organic bats (however skeletonized) as their method of post, given bats' association with Viravain and thus, the Wyrd. #MechanicalBatsClub
Lifting a dainty hand to finger your neckline, you glance about with uncertain disdain.

Re: Superstitions
Now, have you held all 48 at once? How do you know there are only 48?Neladahi said: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).
Maybe the rest are hiding from you
Re: Tweets VIII: Knocks Me Off My Tweet
Hee. Comic is by SecondLina, who also does Namesake. I love her stuff.Lief said:Lief is basically the girl from that Main Character Syndrome comic.
Xiran intentionally has a mundane appearance/colouration (for a Serenwilder), originally for blending into forest environments. I hadn't considered roles in terms of being a "main character" or not with all that goes on in Lusternia, but I definitely enjoy playing Xiran as supporting cast or peanut gallery member. She's gotten plenty of characterizing moments, but they tend to be in one-on-one settings or through conflict/post-conflict banter. Yes conflict is literally character-building.
