The Shaman Guild Roleplay IV: Twin Axes [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]

Oh shoot! JazzTap, that's AWESOME! I oughta have asked before I closed this down for good, I had no idea you spent so much time on this!

I'm not gonna shelf this for good, certainly not with that kinda story behind it :D We'll see what happens. I just don't want this to crater immediately after starting, but I suppose if we can get a good, solid beginning, the rest of the planning and RPing won't take too much time out of our weekly schedules, as we'd be able to do it in bits.

Oh, okay, excellent.

I inevitably wind up daydreaming anyways, but this setting is more interesting than most. Hopefully somehow we'll get to use that.

(Whether 'we' end up being 3 - 4, or more, or less.)

We're 3 right now, and I've still got my eyes on an Omni in particular. And perhaps another!

Assumption: Spirits are things that died.

Inference: Little spirits are generated endlessly. So, unless the whole world's clogged with them, they have a half-life. (Or they feed off background radiation. But that's still a resource constraint.)

Proposal: Big spirits - the sapient kind, notably, - are agglomerations of little spirits. Maintained by force or by like-mindedness.
Consequence: The phosphor spirit is slowly dying. (Perhaps its refuge has been invaded by deceased plains-settlers. Especially ones killed by the Iron_Wind.)

Headcanon: Spirits get on better with shamans that remind them of themselves.

Trivial consequence: Cool shamans i.e. all of them get cool spirit buddies.
Plot consequence: When 'Alala meets the phosphor spirit, Feckless will be along, intruding on the sacred compact.

Note regarding the ecology of urban spaces: Spirit life includes rodents, birds, pets, poor / elderly / unlucky folk, business deals, other ambitions, historic neighborhoods, and other comparatively interesting things. (The 'inanimate' stuff has a harder time manifesting, admittedly - except to Torqat, Automatons, Golm...)

edit: i am worried we may have lost tierax

Double-posting because I'm hyped for the possible Thanksgiving revival, and wanted to figure out how 'Alala's hindquarters work.

That's still an awesome design and I still love it. *u*

Unfortunately my Thanksgiving was dominated by spending time with the fam and writing papers... I can assume I'll have more time off for Christmas, but in the two weeks leading up to Dec 12 my days will be mostly just studying for finals, so I miiight have time to put this back on track. I'm still all for it if y'all are :P

Hey, hope everything went well.

I'm back online after finals, myself. Just spotted the prologue you started putting up - nice juxtaposition, much mystery, - and I'll try to jump in once you've set things up.

Still hoping some people will come back. But let come what may.

Heeey good to have ya back :D Hope finals went well! I'll be slowly putting up the prologues as they come to me. And I'll try to time it with the hopeful return of Tierax. xP
