<< . . . >>
Don't mind your muse being stared down by a translucent yet blue-skinned extraterrestrial with questionable intent. Don't mind the piercing gaze that is-- by no mistake, hardening in response to long-dead emotions they haven't felt since three generations ago. They weren't truly staring nor were they 'here'.
A part of them remains stuck in the past; from the time before Maiz invaded their planet.
Like an EARTHBOUND spirit, they're foreign to their slender, thin body-- they haunt the premises, unable to move on. Regrets they dare not think or verbalize-- lest they be found through the Kokytans' Hive-Mind Network and dealt with, permanently-- lay frozen and trapped behind a cage comprising squishy flesh and purple organs.
To be sorry, was wrong.
They weren't sorry.
Maybe they would have been several cycles ago, but not now. They couldn't afford it. His feelings and thoughts were shared with the collective and vice versa. To endanger them would bring the alien further heartache. He was lucky to have his family be spared. His kin were NOT SO LUCKY.

i just want people to talk about fandom shit with who aren't Fandom People, you get me?
#i don't believe in cringe culture so this isn't about that#Fandom People in my mind are people who do not have lives or hobbies outside of fandom#and media consumption#and it absolutely shows in everything they do#they're differing levels of disconnected from reality depending on age and circumstances but there's always like#this weird lens they filter things through that tells you the only way they can conceptualize real world issues#is through their shows of choice#and i simply cannot relate to this because i am not privileged enough to do so#to be able to move through the world like this one has to be operating with a certain number of social and economic advantages#merch costs money. tickets cost money. books cost money. subcription services cost money#(the last two only apply if you don't obtain them by other means lmao)#but honesty it gets very tiresome very quickly to talk with these kinds of people#because i would go so far as to say that they don't necessarily view people AS people so much as#npcs unless you say or do something particularly relevant to THEM at that moment#otherwise you don't really exist in their minds#in their myopic narcissism they perpetuate a lot of harm towards more marginalized people in fandom#and will never acknowledge this#because they're the main characters and the “good guy” always#and this very closely mirrors the kind of bullshit black people especially have to deal with on a daily basis#in every other context#from basically everyone#and having to repeatedly encounter that in one's downtime gets exhausting and demoralizing#so while i don't share the hate for “fandom” as a concept because i think this could be considered value-neutral#it's this type of person and this aspect of fandom that keeps me from engaging fully#in part. i could rant forever about this because there's much more to it than just this#anyway Fandom People are terrible and ruin the experience for those of us with lives send post

Things I am somewhat uncertain about in the Creation Kit include whether, if I assign perks to NPCs, they will use them normally when they reach the appropriate level. It’s a little hard to test.

hey i finally entered void after 4.5 months!! i can’t believe my life is so so fun now!!!
what i used :
• tumblr for resources; i learnt a lot from bloggers post which introduced me to void.
• subliminals on youtube: i just listened to it twice daily but i think u can skip this step
it was such a struggle at first but i let all the tension go away for me to embody it…
what i manifested✨
height and face; i was 5’11 before but i wanted to be shorter cause i didn’t like being tallest amongst all girls and even guys. i changed it to 5’3. now i think i look like cute. for face - foxy or siren eyes, positive canthral tilt, fuller lips, no eye bags, sharper nose. i think i might play around my facial features a bit more until i am satisfied with it haha.
avatar editor irl: i used to play sims 4 a lot a lot !! since 5 years i’ve been playing it. if you play it too you know there’s a CREATE A SIM page. it’s somewhat like that but for me in my phone as an app. i can choose clothes or facial features and it changes my face or clothes or accessories irl!! if ur a shifter its like a “LIFA APP” as you’ve heard.
gaming; i am a gamer and i can enter any gaming world at anytime instead of playing it on screen and let me tell u girl!! life has been so fun since!! but dw i don’t “die” in it i just respawn and also pain setting is 0 i dont feel pain when i enter games. sorry but i also play shooter games haha, dw they’re NPC AS THEYRE IN GAME THEY DONT FEEL HURT.
be a good student; i didn’t cancel school cause i just love the drama that’s going on loll, and i love outshining people. so i just manifested that i become a good student. whatever i read once i can remember without any revision required. also be more logical to solve math. cause girl i used to FLUNKKK!!
Boyfriend!!: holy i should have put it in number one!! THIS ONE OF THE BESTEST!! he’s literally in the kitchen making me dumplings cause yk- i made him a chef!! btw i made him from scratch from CREATE A SIM lol!! i revised that he has always been going to my school and one year older than me. he’s so handsome istg!! kind of a combination of jacob elordi and jungkook? i can’t explain!! u get it tho!;) and he’s also so respectful to women ! oml! almost opposite of those red pilled men (yuck!!!)
friend group: theyre so kind and diverse!! it’s vast !! (17 people incl me) and everyone is so amazing kind talented and everyone’s from a diff countries!!
language : i can speak korean now, fluently!
there is so many other minor things but these r my faveee!!! ty ty ty for reading and all the bloggers who have helped us.
and if u haven’t entered, what r u even thinking! u have and you’ll change ur life in a split second like me!! don’t worry about taking too much time luvzzz!!
seee u!!!!
So happy for you love 💕 congrats, and thank you for the tips. Also you’re real for making your bf from scratch 😭😭

WRONG.
Try again.
Actually let's get into this. As someone who loves a great many fantasy RPGs including BG3, Skyrim, and Dragon Age, let me explain what BG3 gets that Skyrim misses, in my opinion.
And this is the big one: the characters in BG3 feel like real fucking people. They have backstories, demonstrable feelings about the events and the other characters, they react to the things you do and they develop as people as you further your relationships. Even minor NPCs often feel fleshed out with distinct personalities and opinions. Hell, going out of my way to cast Speak to Animals is usually rewarded with at least one charming remark. I have never given even a little bit of a shit about 99% of Bethesda NPCs. I usually choose to travel without a companion rather than with unless I need a pack mule to carry my stuff, because their primary function seems to be to get in my way, set off traps, or attract aggro. I can't remember most characters' names unless I'm actively playing. I'm more likely to casually murder people in Skyrim than I am in BG3 or DA because Bethesda hasn't really made any of their NPCs feel like real people, and consequentially I feel no guilt. By comparison I tried to do an evil run of DA:O and gave up the instant I had to kill Wynne (the grandmotherly spirit healer) when she refused to let me go through with my plans, because I hated doing it. Lydia will watch me gut an innocent man and do NOTHING because she has no life, existence, or personality outside of me, the player. This extends to romances, obviously. While optional in all the games, most people will pursue a romance path in BG3 or DA for the additional character arcs it brings to the characters, the emotional nuances they unlock. In Skyrim romance is a box you tick of tasks to complete. In fact, once you marry them, most marriage candidates personalities change *completely* because all spouses have the same few stock dialog lines. That is, if they had a personality to begin with (again, see Lydia). You know how everyone wants to romance unromanceable characters in Bethesda games? Like Brynjolf in Skyrim, or Nick Valentine in FO4? It's because Bethesda actually bothered to give them stories and opinions.
Honestly, this extends to the player character themselves. To a certain extent every player character is a blank slate, but in BG3 and DA it at least feels possible to develop a feeling about who that character is and what they would or would not say or do. I've tried to do that with the Dragonborn and rarely feel strong feelings about them or have strong opinions about what kind of person they are. The only one I've made who I have much of an idea about is my wood elf Parafina, who is Chaotic Evil. Which again is an option I only pick because no one in Skyrim feels real.
The stakes also feel more real in BG3, more personal. Obviously there's the central quest involving the tadpoles, but more than that, it is about a credible threat to your world and the people and communities in it and the people you love. There are tons of reasons to invest yourself emotionally in the narrative. I have never, ever completed the main storyline in Skyrim nor picked a side in Skyrim's civil war. Why would it? Basically nothing happens if I choose not to. Furthermore, if you're not playing as a Nord (which I usually don't), why would you care about Skyrim as a place? You are a faceless, voiceless (pun intended) outsider who gets microaggressed at every turn being asked to choose between two different flavors of fascist. Also dragons are back but like... listen, I don't care? They get pretty easy to pick off at a certain point, it's like swatting flies, they're just a nuisance on the way to my daily errands. And isn't that such a common story? Don't you know so many people who don't really bother with the main storylines of Skyrim? Yeah it's one of the bestselling games of all time but I feel like the fact that most people don't really care about its narrative should be a sign of failure. We all know it's mostly maintained its popularity due to the modding community.
Ultimately both games have rich worlds which reward exploration with little secrets and environmental storytelling. But BG3 feels more "meaningful" because they give me reasons to care about what happens. The writers worked hard to give the game emotional resonance. So I come to the two games for different experiences. I go to BG3 to engage with an interesting story. I go to Skyrim for the quick serotonin hit of completing tasks and hoarding items.

BG3 Companions Social Media Headcanons Part 1
I was bored at work and couldn’t stop. 🤣 I’ll make another post with Halsin, Minthara, Jaheira, Minsc, and some NPCs!
~~~
Astarion - Pre-Tav, Astarion's social media is mostly thirst-traps for some kind of nefarious, Cazador-related money-making plot. They barely scoot past the TOS on lewd content. Very little real personal content, anything that isn't a thirst trap is heavily doctored lifestyle content to make it seem like he's living a much more luxurious life than he actually is.
After meeting Tav and getting rid of Cazador, he deletes all of his old accounts and opens up new ones. They're not exactly private, but he's much more careful about who he follows and who can follow him back. The posts become much more genuine. Still a lot of selfies, but they're sexy in the way of a guy just finally living his truth and being comfortable in his own skin. There's more shots of his daily life; waking up with his partner's obnoxious pets strewn across the bed, morning coffee and his current favorite book, new outfits that make him feel more himself. Tav features heavily in most of his posts, and there are probably as many pictures of them as there are of himself.
Karlach - chaos. No rhyme or reason. Lots of parkour and Jack-ass parodies. Constant flood of pictures of her stuffed animal collection. Stupid filters abound. There's several videos of her just flexing. Lumberjack videos. Seven hundred pictures of Tav, tons of selfies together. Videos of her literally sobbing over some cute stuffy she found or a dog she got to pet. "How many times can I say the fuck word before I get suspended." Memes. Memes everywhere.
Lae'zel - She follows three accounts and never posts anything, but somehow she's constantly scrolling through. What does she even do? Her profile picture is still the default. She doesn't have any profile information filled out. It just says "No." Her screen name is just Lae_zel. Every single item in her favorites is a cat video. She has One photo and its a gym selfie. All of her comments seem really mean at first, but they're all weirdly supportive things along the lines of "your teeth are sharp and your visage terrifying".
Shadowheart - total E-girl influencer vibe. Everything is #nofilter. She doesn't need filters. She's god's most perfect princess. You can't even be mad because it's not vanity its just how she Is. Ends everything with Prayer-hands-emoji hashtag Shar'sblessings or Selune'sblessings depending on where she is in that journey. Hairstyle and makeup tutorials and she makes it look so damn easy. "Dye my hair and cut my bangs with me." "Get ready with me" videos nearly every day. Every picture has a comment from Astarion that just says "oh fuck off" because even he can never hope to be as perfect as she is. Or at least that's what her forty-five thousand followers think.
Wyll - The official Blade of the Frontier social media account(s). Fencing videos and promos. "How to polish your horns for newbies" video that's been taken down twenty-seven times for lewd content even though it's literally for polishing actual horns. Accidental thirst traps because damn. Lots of disability advocacy, especially for visual impairments. Weekly Demon/Devil PSAs. Constantly featured in Karlach's vids and vice-versa. Buddy selfies. Once in a while a pic of him with his dad. Pics with Tav are rare, but when he does post them they're the sweetest pictures and he gushes about them for paragraphs. It's a little gross how gushy they are. Astarion comments with vomit emojis and Wyll just replies with an angry face emoji. The purest content. He's so wholesome. Not a swear to be seen. Lots of gentle hype videos. "You've got this. You can do this. I believe in you."
Gale - oh my god he has the most pretentious social media accounts. He's worse than Astarion. "Well, actually" videos with multiple parts because they're too long. Tea and bookshelves. Tara. So many pics of Tara. Tara napping on a book. Tara swatting a fly. Tara in the window. Tara on the kitchen counter. Tara laying in the sun. Tara doing nothing. He has one of those fancy cat terrarium backpacks. Magic tutorials. Mystra simp. Surprisingly few selfies but the ones he has are IMMACULATE. Pretentious book reviews. His only saving grace is that he is HILARIOUS. He's the only one with a reasonable about of pics with Tav as opposed to almost none or way too many, but the captions are always really sweet.

Could you do the OM bros seeing a friendly, opmistic, kind , funny Mc who's actually a cunning and a manipulative seducer/seductress. Always keeping a poker face in order to get what they want which is power and gets away with it but the brothers realize it too late( I know Lucy, Satan and Belphie are smart enough but It is possible for them to get "tricked" by Mc since they love them.)
Tumblr media
Two-Faced Reader | Yandere Obey Me!
Power is what you’re after and you’re used to doing whatever you feel like to get it. Including acting like the innocent lamb that gets all of them wrapped around your fingers. Now whether you intended for their infatuation with you or not it's bound to further your agenda or more likely their own:
Tumblr media
Leviathan 
“Whooooa talk about mad twists!”
Thinks it's hot when you switch from the sweet ingenue to domineering master 
Kind of likes the way switch 
And the curiousness if its some condition and you only do it with him
Oh how he hopes
At your command, he summons Lotan on the daily 
Sometimes completing sidequests without you telling him
Like offing those conspiratory NPCs
Tumblr media
Satan
“I see what game your playing and I’m intrigued.”
He knows your games
And man does he love playing them
Your ambition rivals his own and he can’t help but want to encourage you
He’s not going to say he’s whipped but he’s certainly willing to cause all kinds of mayhem in your name
A shame that he’s not roped in by your fake personality
Tumblr media
Asmodeus
“Oya~my baby wants them gone? Promise to give me kisses?”
He falls head first for you’re precious persona
So innocent, so cute
It makes pining for you all the more fun
And killing for you even more satisfying
He’s someone who’s not going to flip when you’re personality shines through
Your still his sexy lamb 
And he so badly wants to keep you
Even if it means using his beauty to deceive those who get in your way
And the ones he just doesn’t like
Tumblr media
Beelzebub
“Don’t accuse them of such things, they hardly know how devildom works.”
Falls hook line and sinker for your persona 
No doubt easily deceived by your little acts
And in your defense, he’ll eat just about anyone 
Even when it’s revealed, the truth of your true colors he can’t help but still believe
That you’d been deceived 
That underneath the cunning persona is still the poor human that needs protection
And is number one in your crew for most likely to usurp 
You don’t know what you’re doing so maybe he and Belphie should bother with the bad guys out there
Tumblr media
Belphegor
“...Right. But they still want that one out of the way and we promised to do that right?”
Sees right through you 
And originally isn’t all that fond of Beel’s perception of you
He thinks you tricked his sweet brother 
But in a way, he finds that he agrees
You're a stupid, in over your head human
And who better to intervene in your shenanigans than the two of them 
Plus he enjoys your bloodthirsty behavior
Though it's nothing compared to his murderous drive you’re still cute
If anyone is more likely to initiate the usurpation its him
Tumblr media
Lucifer
“You think you’re so slick, I can’t help but be enamored.”
He doesn’t immediately see it
Playing into your hands for a short while 
Before catching on and switching from compliance and not
He thinks both sides of you are cute
But you're just so naive to think enabling their murderous tendencies will end with only who you’ve designated a threat
He and his brothers can easily see more than you 
So trust in that

When I first downloaded Gore, I wasn't expecting what I got. I was honestly expecting another broody, cliché follower that you see every other day, but I wanted to give him a try.
I am so glad I did.
I don't think I've even finished his quests yet, and I haven't even had the chance to try Vigilant with him, but I don't think I've ever loved a follower more.
Characters like Gore and Auri, where you genuinely need to TRY to make an effort and know them, are my favourite kind of characters. From finding him in that rusted bear trap and his little quips, I knew he would be a main-stay in my skyrim load order.
I genuinely feel like I have a friend in this game, not that it's an NPC 'sworn to carry my burdens' or something, but a genuine man that I'd be glad to call friend outside of a silly fantasy game. I've never teared up when a voice cracked or felt shattered to the core because I simply related so much to someone before I went through Gore's quests. And I'm proud to say that Gore is what I want to aspire to be — maybe besides the dragon slaying that he has to do daily.
The fact that he can find a reason to love life again is something I needed whenever I went through things like him. I genuinely LOVE Gore with all of my heart, and I'm excited to wait however long I need to just to see more from my favourite follower, no, friend.

SPLATTER! (REGRETEVATOR OC)
chat am I cooking?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“NEED MORE COLOR!!!” She/her he/him, Genderfluid and pansexual, age unknown (seems to be 22 years old)
Can enter the elevator: yes
Killable: yes
Hostile?: will only hit you if you hit him first
Splatter is a npc in regretevator, he will enter the elevator from floors 'tumblr ballpit' (though it is quite rare for him to spawn in that floor) you would see him sitting next to the ballpit who will eventually stand up and walk to the elevator although he will not enter the elevator if it's full. If MR is in the elevator he will stand up and fall into the ballpit and die on impact and 'hotel floor' (he will immediately enter the elevator before the gas can activate, covering his mouth until the event ends) if he sees the elevator is full he will go back to a random room he spawned in but if MR is in the elevator he will immediately pause for 2 seconds and then run to his room as a locking sound affect plays and him crying can be heard. He speaks in somewhat of a bad grammar. He doesn't know what species he is but insists that he is a human being claims to be in college even though there isn't exactly a school in this universe..? The more damage you have dealt to him, he will hit you back with that same damage. His face paint can vary in primary colors (red, blue and yellow)
PERSONALITY:
At first, he's a little creepy and weird. Perhaps observing and drawing npcs at an uncomfortably close proximity to them and his undying passion of art doesn't exactly mix well doesn't it? But in general he is just trying to fit in with other people and means no bad intentions, constantly fidgeting his paintbrush and trying to find something to draw is his daily routine, he even forgets to take care of himself sometimes! Got some screws loose in his head due to him having little to no sleep at all. He is trying to be a good person, desperately. He wants to understand human emotion in order to react "Normally". Kind of... naive? He is naive enough to consider almost everyone (except for gnarpy, Bive, MR and unpleasant) his friends.
Some random stuff loll
Splatter is actually immune to the gas in the hotel floor, she just doesn't know it yet.
Splatter's sense of smell and sight is a little below average
Loves the primary colors or just any color that's bright as hell
Blood color is black (emo core 🖤🖤)
Kind of fascinated with Pilby, thinking they'll turn into a butterfly. Which Pilby has to remind her that they can't lol
Besties with Poob
Has a hyperfixiation of butterflies
OC BOUNDARIES (+DOODLES BELOW)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Will work on her dialogue when I feel like it lololol

Larian, you don't just give us this fine ass tiefling that gives us dreamy bedroom eyes and not let us romance him!
Why Dammon should and needs to become a romance option in a future DLC or Patch:
There are some sparks flying between him and Karlach already. Maybe just of friendship but honestly, I think he's got a little crush on her given some of his lines. It's clear he's concerned about her at the very least, and that could easily bloom into a deep friendship or something more. Letting us romance him on a Karlach origin playthrough could be rather sweet. It could also help shake up that status quo of men being the brawn and women being the brains. At the very least, it would help some shorter guys and taller ladies who pair up feel seen and celebrated.
He's an NPC we see on the regular in all three acts. (Granted he's rather fragile. Seriously Larian, give him more than just 8 hp! Alfira the bard has 20 hp for goodness sake!) Even if he's not made into a companion most of us already make a stop at least once a day at his forge to sell him our stuff. Sure it's business at first. But even in the game currently, he gives the player all kinds of freebies if we bring him the right things. Plus, most of us don't think it's weird at all to support a loved one's time and efforts so him remaining our favorite merchant is not a problem. People have housewives and househusbands they support all of the time, after all. Let us do so with our future forge husband.
Visiting him on the daily is also more than enough time to provide the player with small opportunities to progress in a relationship with him. Once a day he could say something new about his. Or he drops a new tidbit about his past and his passions. The player then could pick a response to up his approval. His merchant approval and relationship approval might be tricky to navigate but could both be displayed when buying or trading with him. He could also pay a visit to our camp on occasion too. Perhaps at the camp party, it starts out as a one-night stand, then rescuing him from the ox later on at Last Light Inn we can admit we do actually care about him.
NPC romances are not a new thing and have been implemented in other games such as in Dragon Age Inquisition with Josephine and Cullen. We also lack a male tiefling option. (Although there are some Zevlor and Roland Stans out there too. Hey, more options with horns and tails the better I say. ^_~)
All the companions have some rather big things on their plate and lots of baggage. At times this can be overwhelming for some players or at least on every playthorugh. What about the Tav or Durge's needs? What if the player is going through some tough things in real life and just can't deal with any more drama? Perhaps Dammon could be an alternative in that he could provide some with more emotional support or comfort. He invites Tav over for a home-cooked meal. Maybe he burns the pizza a little or he could suck at cooking, but it's the thought that counts. Or maybe he's usually a fantastic baker and sends you off each day with some kind of camp supply treat. I'm not saying make him boring but keep his romance a bit on the little lighter side? Why? Some players just overall feel better when their loved one is back at home and relatively safe, and that's valid. Plus during the course of the game, we do rescue him around three times and he's sure to have some baggage from his time in the hells. It would be just nice if he had a little less than most of our companions. If we had a fluffier romance option instead of one that leaves us crying.
He's already a part of the player's story and could help showcase and offer some in-game tutorials for Tinker or Artificer class if made into a full companion or even if he remained an NPC. If shown say any blacksmithing schematics he could provide more information or insight about new weapons and armor. For example, if one misses the sussur bark nature roll he could suggest where to find some if we show him the quest item.
He could provide a story of being biracial. Given his white sclera and other coloring, some are left to wonder if he might have a few elves or humans in his family tree. Granted this might be a rune power keg of a topic but it could be a way to allow many to feel seen and hear a similar story to theirs unfold in a game.
Rumor has it the Voice Actor for Dammon, Frazer Blaxland is all on board at the idea of working with Larian more.
There are a few more reasons beyond the ones given, but these listed here are some of the strongest reasons why Dammon as a new romance option makes perfect sense.
Feel free to comment below about yours! The more reasons the better!
Also, you can submit feedback to Larian HERE. Send them your thrist.

Hello phighting tag!!! If you saw there is two qna videos for phighting which includes some lore, now those videos combined are about 4 hours but my friend @hexyn went through the videos and compiled some of the most interesting bits of information
Everything will be under the cut
EVERYTHING THAT IS SAID IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE/POSSIBLY MISHEARD
- boss battle plans, everyone teamed up to defeat one big guy (probably ????? kind of????? already done considering the sfoth rounds)
- gacha system with zuka hosting a item store to buy crates for skins
- being able to buy stickers from zuka's store
- "storymode really roughly outlined/planned" said by soda and will pay their attention towards singleplayer storymode after they're done with multiplayer
- plans on adding chat titles next to your name
- dom and valk were apparently born into fame by their parents being very popular and them carrying their career
- allusions has a phighting map in their game
- more accesory npcs besides dom and valk coming soon
- rocket canonically being adopted by zuka
- valk and dom apparently sees the phighters as nothing but a faster way to make money and nothing else said by soda
- hyperlaser apparently has a mask under his helmet, not specified which one tho but its probably a joke answer
- in future updates, the skins will go away and would soon be added in zuka's shop
- possibly being able to visit other areas around the map (thieves den, playground, lost temple and blackrock)
- minigames getting added in crossroads such as fishing, etc
- apparently said by soda, blackrock are the heavily demonized people in the lore so far by her and the devs, "purposefully starting shit to piss others off"
- none of them can't eat spicy food besides hyperlaser
- crossroads, thieves den, playground, lost temple, blackrock etc all live in one big giant land and are separated by regions around the areas
- apparently the Inphinity is/or has an extremely large sentient entity outside of the phighting universe
- with the subspace and medkit situation, medkit wanted to help people with the crystals while subspace wants to cause chaos, the crystals in between their horns are from their own expirements, they both use the alternative energy source to wield their weapons
- all of the regions canonically hate eachother and all have different motives
- skins in game are described as non-canon alternate universes, just a excuse for skins and some in the future may be canon
- subspace was assigned to make biograft by blackrock's leader
- darkheart is (sort of) friends with venomshank, similar to the way you'd wave to someone you know across the street
- broker will give you daily challenges, and when completed he will tell you a bit of lore
- sfoth swords (excluding sword) are like deities in the inphinity
- banhammer was originally going to be a part of Blackrock, with many of the Blackrock figures knowing him; however, this was changed, and now he is factionless
- broker has been arrested for murder, manslaughter, and gear laundering (although no one said that he did the recent murders in crossroads, ofc still very bad and deserves to be imprisoned)
- The faction leaders will be playable characters, and the four will each be based off of overseer, darkage, korblox, and redfield/redcliff
- biografts do NOT wipe
- medkit found sword injured and nursed him back to health; the two eventually became friends as a result (this will probably be expanded on in the future)
- rocket can't swim and is in first place of playable characters that would most likely swear the most. The 2nd is subspace, and that's it. Note that rocket apparently gets it from zuka
- biograft does not truly hate everyone; they are simply a killing machine who shows no mercy to their enemies
- banhammer isn't blind, he just thinks he's so powerful he intentionally nerfs himself by blinding himself (he thinks it's funny)
- hyperlaser's face has never been revealed due to the idea him being a very mysterious character; they may reveal it in the far future, though it would ruin the mysteriousness
- soda plans to make ugc for Phighting (not lore related though notable to add)
- there are multiple biograft models such as zeta, epsilon, and beta (zeta is the orange one)
- regions may have genetics:
blackrock will have demons with fangs
lost temple will have big dudes (with "something with their eyes?" this was not expanded on)
thieves den will have markings on their body
they don't know what playground would be just "very very silly"
- phighters are created from a big fountain called "The Spawn"; the spawn pops out new people with their own gear these people are not born as babies, and they have a level of intelligence. after they are born, they are assigned a faction and shipped off to their respective location. If two people sacrifice their gear to the spawn, a biological child is formed; however, this is very uncommon as few are willing to sacrifice their gear

Hiii!! All hail forgeofthenine, keeping us blessed with npc tiefling content!!! your writing RULES and I may or may not check your blog daily 🫣
I hope you don't mind if I drop some Thoughts into your inbox?? I just wrapped up Rolan's stuff in act 3 for the first time (he died in my first playthrough and I had no idea, I thought he just dipped) and I have some FEELINGS I need to yell about!!
I was a Zevlor girlie all the way... but the way this wizard has my heart now is UNREAL... I play a sorc who usually picks all of the "haha wizards aren't as cool as me" dialogue options but when he saw how sad Rolan was in Sorcerous Sundries with the bruises on his face? ohhh he lost it. no more gentle bullying. it actually turned into the "who did this to u 😡" fanfic trope. And the way he BEAMS after lorroakan is finally dead and he can REALLY pursue his dream now?? that smile?? like how could anyone lay a finger on this man unless its to shower him with affection???
anyway I now hc that Rolan loves physical affection and even when he's trying to ego or act cool and composed, there's nothing more that he loves than your thumb rubbing circles into his shoulder or when you cup his face with your hand to smile at him. he always lets out a contented sigh and his body visibly relaxes, it's just his favorite. I know how older sibling syndrome can feel-- he deserves to rest, revel in his successes, and also feel unconditional kindness with no fear that he has to provide something to deserve it. SORRY FOR THE NOVEL I JUST NEEDED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM 😭 I might also need therapy LOL
Omg thank you for the support and please don't apologise for dropping by the ask box, I love interacting with you guys!!
Rolan also died in my original playthrough, somehow I legitimately never talked to him 💀
I'm a Dammon girlie through and through, but Rolan admittedly has one of my favourite storylines of any side character in the game. Him and his relationship with his siblings, the way he gets to fuck up lorroakan with spells he made despite having an awful, abusive 'teacher'. He's got such depth to his character that I can't help but love him.
I also agree that he'd love physical affection! Linking pinkies with you in public, you climbing into his lap as he sits at his desk, giving him surprise kisses on the cheek. He pretends it's not a big deal but it really makes his day whenever it happens.

THEME: Revolution
This week’s games have to do with rising up against oppression and tyranny! A very important note: while the tone and tenor of the following games vary in severity, it is a good idea to use safety tools for your table when running these kinds of games, as it is easy to fall into territory that can be uncomfortable to your players. I recommend you check out tools such as the X Card, by John Stavropoulos, and Lines & Veils, by Ron Edwards.

When the Guilds Pay in Copper, Crime Pays In Gold, by Andrew J. Young.
Ostentia is a city of wealth, magic, and incredible disparity. The city's alchemy guilds hold all the power, with squads of street-level enforcers and an army of mercenaries playing the guilds off each other. The common folk are hired by the guilds to serve in alchemy rituals, draining life from their bodies, paying them their purse of coppers, and sending them home until the next day.
What the city needs is a revolution, but the best you can do is retribution. And distribution. Thwart the guilds' exploitative plots and steal as much gold as you can. And when the job is done, go back to your family, friends, and familiar haunts. Spend your gold to improve your character and use downtime to help your community.
When the Guilds Pay in Copper, Crime Pays in Gold is a two-page tabletop RPG designed to be played with 2 or more players, one of whom should take on the role of a Story Guide to facilitate scene setup and NPC actions and dialogue.When the Guilds Pay in Copper, Crime Pays in Gold's system uses dice pool mechanics with d6s.
If you’re interested in Blades in the Dark but want less pre-defined setting, less rules, and more magic, you might want to check this game out. The players of this game are fighting back against guilds using underhanded methods, but the gold they manage to steal goes into community help, rather than a retirement plan. If you want to hit the bourgeoisie where it hurts without having to read too many rules, and if you want a lighter feel to your game, you might want to check this game out.
And You Shall Shatter Temples, by Anna Landin.
They may be gods, but you are done being faithful.It's time to burn their kingdom down.
Sing songs with the words they could not take from you. Raise the banner woven from the flags you stole back from them. Arm yourself with the swords you forged from their discarded bones.
And You Shall Shatter Temples is a game about rising up against an overwhelming power that is trying to crush you. All you have is what you carry with you, and those who rise up by your side. Together, you can turn the tide. Together, you can dethrone a god.
This is a GM-less game that uses playing cards and d6s to help determine what you do and where the story goes. The main premise is that there are gods, but you get to decide what kind of world they have ruined, and how you bring them to their knees. The game brings you through three stages, with each stage bringing you closer and closer to dethroning a god. The creator offers the text-only version for free, and encourages that you support real-world causes that fight oppression instead!
Hunting Billionaires for Sport, by Vex Chat-Blanc.
It's exactly 1 year since people first started hunting billionaires for sport. In that time the sport has grown at an extraordinary rate, giving rise to both the Extrajudicial Means Distribution Union and Nero.tv. Nations around the world have enacted a total ban on firearms and ammunition sales, as well as dedicated buyback schemes for existing guns. Science and arts have seen a simultaneous market boon, and their advances have integrated seamlessly into daily life. Welcome to 2023.
A game for 1 session runner and 2-5 hunters. It's easy to pick up, simple to explain, provides a quick reference sheet for those new to the rules. It contains interesting and variable character advancement, and a progressive and gentle introduction to more advanced rules. World-building, character background, collaborative action, and character retirement are all tied together mechanically.
If you want to see a game where Billionaires’ greed is what allows for the revenge of the masses, this is the game for you. The setting is incredibly tongue-in-cheek, and the characters are both powerful and competent. Character skills are classified as either Limelight (flashy) or Lowlight (concealed), and can be Active, Passive, or Reactive. You’ll also have Beats that drive your character forward and tie you into the fiction, as celebrities on a high-profile streaming service. If you like the idea of turning modern capitalism back onto itself, this might be the game for you!
Compromise / / Empire, by Swamphen.
The forces of the Empire, the forces of totalitarianism and exploitation, are invading. They have secured a foothold, and want complete control. Their soldiers trample the land, their spies and diplomats are in your places of power, time is limited.
You represent a faction. One of the factions who are working to resist the Empire. As a representative you must extend a hand and form whatever alliances you can with the other factions at play. Resisting the Empire will cost you, and your faction. Compromises must be made.
Compromise//Empire is a GMless roleplaying game for 2-3 players about forming temporary alliances and resisting empire. Each player takes the role of a faction forced into an unlikely alliance. You must represent your agenda while making compromises to fight against the forces of empire.
This is another game that allows you to decide exactly what kind of world you’d like to play in. Crises will arise over the course of the game, and you will attempt to find a solution that makes you and your allies happy. Success is not guaranteed in this game - you may find a way to work together, but your plans may also fall apart. If there is a setting or game you’d like to set-up for, this is an excellent option! 
Voidheart Symphony, by UFO Press.
here’s a wound in the world, a rot eating at hope and community and empathy. You’ve seen it in dark alleyways and gleaming boardrooms, gifting terrible power to those who will use it to hurt others. You’ve had enough. You’re going to dive through that wound into the nightmare castle on the other side. You’re going to find the avatar of the one bringing you misery, and strike them down.
But what’s next, once you’ve stolen their power and ruined their ambitions? Will you return to your daily grind? Cherish those who are close to you? Or revel in the power you have taken from the void? Because within that wound, the castle waits, and it is hungry.
Voidheart Symphony is a tabletop roleplaying game about mundane people diving into a demon-filled labyrinth to save the ones they love. Based on Apocalypse Worldand Rhapsody of Blood, it’ll fill your story with dramatic choices and dynamic action. Your rebels each have a core strength – they may be an Authority, a Provider, a Watcher. But your enemy is far too great for you to face alone. 
If you’re interested in the Persona series, this game is probably up your alley. Shadowy powers lurk behind everyday folks, and your rebellion may not ever make it to the front page. You are heroes behind the scenes, fighting for the freedom of folks who may never know to thank you. If you like the idea of being unsung heroes in the modern day, you should check this game out!
Spire: The City Must Fall, by Rowan, Rook & Decard.
Spire is a mile-high impossible city, older than anyone can remember. Two hundred years ago, the high elves – or aelfir, strange and beautiful masked creatures from the far north – took it from the dark elves by force. Now, they graciously allow dark elves, or drow, to live in the city if they perform four years of service to an aelfir lord once they come of age. Spire is crumbling from within and without; it is ancient, and has been built and rebuilt countless times, and at the centre of the mass there is a jagged, weeping hole in reality called the Heart. It is a nightmarish, dizzying place of perverse luxury and widespread destitution, where drow labourers toil in vast gardens and sweltering factories to produce treasures for their masters.
Spire is a roleplaying game about desperate revolutionary dark elves caught up in a secret war against the high elves, or aelfir, who rule the towering city of Spire. The world of Spire is a brutal one, and players can expect to see their characters suffer at the hands of their oppressors, or their rivals; bodily harm, psychological scarring and reprisals against their allies are commonplace. But for those willing to do what it takes, Spire is on the brink of full-scale rebellion, and you are poised to push it over the edge.
This game uses a D10 system that uses dice pools to determine success -  the highest number indicates whether or not you are successful, and how successful you are. The rebellion in this game is dark and vicious; the characters are pushed to do terrifying things in the name of death, vindication, and revenge. This is a fantasy game through and through, but make sure to bring some safety tools to the table, as a game of Spire can easily turn bloody and grim.
If you are interested in this setting but want a game about dungeon-delving instead, you can try Heart: The City Beneath, by the same company.
Previously advertised games that fit this theme:
Balikbayan: Cyberpunk Elementals escaping enslavement. Brinkwood: Brigands fighting against Vampires. Rising Tide: Eco-Justice pirates hitting Corporations at sea.

From my point of view I do agree with your points about not really feeling the QSMP story at current, I relate to it super hard. As someone who plays a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, the server always felt a bit more like that, rather than something akin to Last Life where the RP is between players with no admin/NPC presence. So there has to be collaboration between admins/writers and the players for the story to feel like events have consequences or rewards.
To me, I feel like someone was supposed to save the eggs from Purgatory but with the event being so time consuming and no strong hints or breadcrumbs as to how a player could try to search for the eggs the resolution that was given feels weak. I feel a bit like I’m rambling madly here but it feels incohesive, and the players seem to be just as disorientated as the fans.
Oh yeah, I'm a HUGE dnd player, too, so that's the way I've been approaching the server and its lore for a while now, and the admins overall have done a really good job at collaborating with the ccs- just look at what they've done with Cellbit and Antoine and Jaiden and Baghera, like that's all cool as hell!!
But I have to wonder if the writers have been shuffled around or something because things have been weird since the Mini-Me event writing-wise. More plot holes and less investigation and everything and more railroading than there used to be. Sure, the admins were super accommodating with Cellbit's murder requests, but those plans have had to be changed a Lot from what I can tell after watching all of Cellbit's Purgatory streams. Same for the Spiderbit "Murder Husbands" plot, that one's almost definitely not coming back at this point.
Like we have ccs who have been told not to get onto the server at all so the admins can prepare for their lore, like Pol and Charlie, but like. That's kind of weird? I think? Like, sure, it'll be cool in the end, but characters and players have always been allowed to be online while waiting for their Huge Lore Moments to happen, like how Roier's been online almost daily while having a supposedly-HUGE Lore Moment coming in the future.
Idk, something just feels weird, and I don't like it
