Elementals 3: The White Rose (OOC, FANTASY, OPEN)

[Kassaran]

Congrats and good luck. Laz and I should be done with our post here... eventually.

Thanks. I look forward to reading your post some time after my graduation.

As you wish...

I was actually thinking about OPing a little spinoff adventure while Const was gone, if anyone would be interested in that. Much smaller scope - maybe 3 months tops.

Wow, a complete adventure in five posts or less?

Elementals: The Five Minute Convenience Store Run, coming soon!

Follow this rowdy gang of adventurers as they check off all the items on their grocery list, avoid the temptations of junk food, and come face to face with Ka-Ren, destroyer of retail!

But why would you avoid the temptation of junk food, it's the best part about going to the supermarket!

[Kassaran]

Could be done. Especially if it's far more short-form.

I got sort of bored and made an Elementals Political Compass.

Unfortunately, I ran out of characters before I ran out of squares.

That's why I like you, Laz.

Kroisoto could maybe go in the square between Timur and Average U.G.F. citizen since he seized the means of production in Kreighold and took them back home to Aurennia? I dunno who else to put on the compass though.

Ya'll can look forward to a massive fucking post probably being posted tonight or tomorrow, just going through Const and Laz for some final proofreads and edits and it'll be up tonight. It'll also free up two people to post on the current fight.

Well, I suppose I can be clever every once in a while.

Fun fact: this post ended up being 16 pages in word with 12 pt Arial. 7840 words. Anyways, that catches us up to the present, so I'll have a post out by the weekend. I'll try to get something for Ameri/Tomia to work with.

The Nevskiests and the Pskovians are a direct analogue to Calvinists and Arminianists in Protestant theology, in terms of free will vs predestination.

KATYA: "If I remember correctly, my father and the neighboring lords undertook some major project to clear the forests surrounding the trade routes."

EROSEN'S BACKGROUND: "The order was issued to raze the forest and kill the wild man within. Chased from his childhood home and refuuge, he found passage as a stowaway aboard a vessel bound for the distant lands of Gallia to the West."

In case you didn't pick up on it, Katya's father and friends were the ones who burnt down Erosen's forest.

---

"Pyrastar, the Shining God of Fire and Light"...a subtle reference to the fact that Garmiccians straight up don't worship Caelstion. Not only did they split one god into two, but they merged two into one. Needless to say, Garmiccian theology kind of sucks. Alternatively, of course a country that's freezing cold for half the year would place the god of Fire as the most important.

"What may feel like months to us may be mere days for them, and yet even a few seconds for us could be months for them."

Erosen, stop leaning on the fourth wall. You're gonna break it.

Damn you kept going with Aerion

[Lazarian]

Damn you kept going with Aerion

Yeah, I did. He's a fun and enjoyable character, so I decided to pick him up and keep going after your nation expired. Hopefully you don't mind too much?

Nah man, I'm reading through the threads. The posts are really fun and it's cool to see what parts of your characters people pick up on or choose to edit a little.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Great post Kass and Laz, pretty long but since the bulk of the post is dialogue and interaction, it's not too heavy a read, which my grey slush of a brain appreciates Was interesting to see the discussion on theology.

[Constaniana]

The group needs a punching bag.

Glad you're enjoying the read. You're always welcome back in if you'd like. If you're not sure about it you have a few months to think about it since I'll be gone from late July to mid September lol.

Well, they have two. One for the lawful characters to hate and one for the chaotic characters to hate.

Anyways, post coming by Friday evening PST. Going to be at a friend's house, but if Rup doesn't get a response up, Erosen's just going to move on. Is there anyone who wants a moment to speak with the Darkling?

If I was gonna try to run a spin-off, what genres would be interesting?

What are the options?

[Woodstovia]

There are other genres for Elementals?

[Woodstovia]

It's not really the same as genre so it may not be what you meant but I was thinking a prequel or a side story with our current characters.

The two I've got an idea for are a western fantasy adventure set in Sahranjja, or following a regiment of the Northern Forces during the Civil War in a Rogue One style story.

Alternatively we keep just running normal Elementals, depends what Const's planning?

[Esternial]

HYAH!
