Fantasy of the Damned - Ended

I’ve found the sociopath disadvantage.

“ due to flicker’s sociopathic and reclusive nature, flicker can not form emotional attachments easily. at the start of the game, you must pick a single character - they will be the only player you can level up a bond with (+4 Weight)”

Was that it? Lmao
I threw a fork at them, though

i didn’t actually bring this into the game by the way

honestly
the mechanics this game were decently cool
i like the wincons but i didn’t really expect them so i had to scrap a good bit of my character

my bible had a .44 magnum inside it instead

Fork is very small and light

Summary

Backstory: Among the felidae, there is one exceedingly rare (and feared) trait for any cub to be born with above all- the shimmerpelt. Shimmerpelts possess the unique ability to change their form to that of any felid, with any feline characteristics. All shimmerpelts are born with one telltale feature…mismatched eyes. Such felidae are regarded with great suspicion and hostility after the shimmerpelt Night of No Stars (Night) used his abilities to conquer and defeat all the proud felid clans, uniting them all under a single empire and ruling with a tyrannical iron paw. Even though centuries have passed, the felidae still remember. They still distrust power they do not understand. The stories are passed down from generation to generation, with felidae disposing of their newborn shimmerpelts for countless years. When Flicker first opens his eyes, his fate is sealed as the dead. But his mother, Red Sky of Dawn (Dawn), takes mercy on the cub and raises him in secret from the rest of the clan in total isolation. She bestows upon him the cub-name of Spark for his curious and intelligent nature. However, after 8 years of perfection, Dawn inevitably slips up and a clan elder catches her bringing food to the young shimmerpelt. Dawn is set to be publicly executed for her crimes- with Spark chained up to a tree forced to watch the bloody spectacle. The clan elders attempt to kill him next, but as they turn around to fetch him, the cub has already disappeared. He spends the next 10 years unable to bear leaving his mother’s final resting spot and resorts to tormenting his former clan. Spark routinely sneaks in and uses his shimmerpelt abilities to imitate clan members, sowing paranoia and fear amongst the clan (as well as to learn what he can from the clan’s schools without fear, absorbing all the knowledge he can like a hungry little sponge). Eventually, Spark’s meddling leads to several false executions due to suspicion of the victims being the missing shimmerpelt. After all these years though, Spark begins to grow tired of his routine. On the Summer Solstice when all the cubs born his year are due to reach 18 years and receive their true name in the Naming Ceremony, something already rusted and brittle begins to break in him. All the clan is gathered in a single spot for the ceremony, and Spark takes the opportunity to set the sacred wooden building alight in an inferno of flames. He waits for hours for the screams and the wildfire to die down, then scoops up a handful of ash to lay on his mother’s grave, whispering solemnly that she can finally be at peace. At midnight on the longest day, Spark performs his own Naming Ceremomy. He becomes Flicker of Dying Fire, as homage both to the inferno that set him free and the flickering and shifting of his shimmerpelt skin.

Get stuck in rooms lol

I just wanted to RP but I missed all the action cause of action processing times, and it was impossible to get much accomplished including RP interactions when I was never around for the entirety of action processing

I managed to do some RPing with Wazza and Magnus and that’s it

i should probably copy my backstory too
1 minute

also I didn’t have a wincon for over half the game

guys you won’t believe my backstory
it’s so much better than y’all’s

Once, there was a traveling merchant named Bell. This merchant frequently scammed people by selling magical products that disappeared after a while. One of these was a magical flame bow. Because the bow requires mana in order to keep it in a solid state, after a while the bow would disappear. One day, a sorcerer came by to buy a flame bow. After realizing they were tricked, the sorcerer cursed the merchant, which transformed him into a cat.

Well, I was gonna throw a knife if the fork failed to do anything but we were playing a waiting game in the room by then cause I kept checking back to see if Magnus had taken his turn or if my action had been processed :sweat_smile:
