Intros & Plotting
NEW PLAYERS
Welcome to Aion Teleos! This is our CR meme, for old and new players alike to introduce themselves and to begin plotting for the month ahead. As you're settling into the game, here are a few things you should note:
❖ NEW PLAYER NOTES:
❖ NEW PLAYER NOTES:
◆ SECT ATTUNEMENT: New characters will have to declare their sect attunements on the Attunement page. Those who are starting in the Kenoma will be attuned as of the start of their introduction, but those who have been taken by the Pleroma may take up until the end of the month to do so. Alternatively, they can attune almost immediately if they are unconflicted about their desire to fight the Regent. The main restriction caused by not attuning to the Pleroma right away will be that unattuned characters cannot travel to the Greentruth rebellion stronghold.
◆ NETWORK (COMMUNION): As soon as a character is attuned to either the Pleroma or the Kenoma, they will be able to access Communion, Aion Teleos's network system. This is written about in the game's info pages, but more details can be found here. This skill can be found by accident or taught by another character.
◆ AION GLAMORS: To help ease gameplay for characters who will stick out like a sore thumb in the setting, we want to make it known that there will be a relatively weak 'glamor' type spell available to learn in Greentruth for new Pleroma. This will have to be pursued ICly, but it is out there, and will be achievable by Tier 1 attunement.

CHARACTER INTRO MINGLES
There will be no mod posted mingle log set up for new players; instead, we are encouraging veteran characters to set up mingles in the various game locations. Our reasoning for this is that, at least on the Pleroma side, there is no set mingle point that will be, by default, accessible to all characters, meaning that some IC thought and proactivity will have to go into how best to accommodate them. Additionally, this will be an opportunity for characters to ICly flex their leadership skills and receive IC reputation (and a small IC gift) for doing so. If you make a mingle log, makes sure to include it in your notable actions on your AC!
We won't leave you entirely without direction, though! Below are some ideas to get people started, and to give an idea of what the environment in each location will be. We will be happy to answer any questions and help with logistics where needed. Alongside this, new players are welcome to make their own open posts on the logs comm.

We will be happy to answer any questions and help with logistics where needed. Alongside this, new players are welcome to make their own open posts on the logs comm.
◆ ACHAMOTH: Once new arrivals have accepted the Kenoma, they will be welcomed into the Citadel along with the rest of their kindred. Most things in the "A Deity's Welcome" and "Exploration" prompts of this log will still apply (we will be converting all of this into a separate info page ASAP but we haven't had the time this month) and so it can be referenced to get an idea of accommodations. The major difference is the lack of dinner time with the Regent; according to their apparent second in command (Xishen, for those that know her), they are preoccupied at the moment, and have asked for the other Kenoma to take charge when it comes to catching up the new recruits. All of Achamoth's facilities and resources are at their disposal to do so.
Achamoth's citizens are as excited as ever to see fresh Aion faces, and will be quick to prostrate themselves before their new gods. They will be eager to offer places for the Kenoma Aions to meet in. Though it is now the Innocent's Moon, it largely goes unremarked on by the residents here, and if it is, only scornfully.
◆ GODSBLOOD: Once the shrines have stopped producing hatchlings, Godsblood will be the first stop for most Pleroma newcomers. By either swimming up through the ocean waters or taking a series of narrow tunnels to the surface, they will find themselves on this edge of this coastal city. It is much the same as it is in this linked post, though the Lover's Festival is now over. While most Aions are capable of blending in thanks to Horos's highly diverse biology, those that are taurs or completely non-mammalian may need some help from other Pleroma to get around without arousing suspicion. Godsblood resists the Regent's control, but it is far from completely safe. Characters may have to work together to find a place to house these new arrivals, whether that be in a safe part of the city or the nearby mountains.
There are seemingly no large festivals planned for the month of Inoseri, but in contrast with the Moon of the Innocent, there does seem to be a sense of unrest. Word of the conflicts at the shrines is spreading around, along with the realization that both Aion sects are now active. It's an ill portent for those old enough to remember the last Aion war. Regardless of the Pleroma's intent, there are those among the people here that resent the fact that their resistance may bring about another era of suffering, and will be suspicious of any new faces they see. At the same time, there are those that are enticed by this new chance to hope, and may be willing to put themselves on the line to see it flourish.
◆ GREENTRUTH: Only those that have officially attuned to the Pleroma will be able to take the portal to Greentruth, a magical passage hidden in a secure location beneath the city streets. They can be shown the way by those that know it, but discretion is of the utmost concern. Upon arriving in the heart of this rebellion stronghold, they will find the atmosphere is more lively and hopeful than it has been for decades. The resurgence of Kenoma has revitalized the Resistance and travel between Greentruth and the smaller settlements is at an all time high as materials and specialists move where needed. Aions are sought after by locals for insight and advice on larger projects as well as smaller personal notes of interest ranging from disputes between neighbors and what kind of wood would be best for this bow. Aions may not have all the answers, but will be encouraged to engage so they can better establish their presence and gain insight to the inner workings of the forest.
Inoseri is known as a time of peace and serenity, but not for the local wildlife. It's mating season for a species of forest dinosaur that is known for it's loud distinct call. This trumpeting sound can be heard for miles and will be nearly constant at the beginning of the month. This is equally frustrating for Greentruth residents as it is for other fauna. Aions will find that animals are more unruly than usual and hunting will be difficult, so any assistance provided to the Greentruth hunters will be appreciated. They will just have to hope they do not cross paths with a would be dinosaurian suitor.
There will be a mission styled event happening later in the month which will call both sects towards the city of Venera. ICly characters will not become aware of this until the plotting post goes up. Meanwhile, as the month of Inoseri begins, all Innocents will feel a strange sense of presence... almost as if there is someone standing with them, even when they are alone.Achamoth's citizens are as excited as ever to see fresh Aion faces, and will be quick to prostrate themselves before their new gods. They will be eager to offer places for the Kenoma Aions to meet in. Though it is now the Innocent's Moon, it largely goes unremarked on by the residents here, and if it is, only scornfully.

NAME: Jill!
CONTACT: Disc: Jillidan#4930 |
FUN FACTS: I rock climb for fun and cosplay on the sly! (Although not much in the past two years for reasons??)
Silco | Visionary | Kenoma
NAME: Silco
CANON: League of Legends: Arcane
LEGACY: Visionary
SECT: Kenoma
CHARACTER PITCH: Bad dad mob boss tries to liberate city by flooding it with steroid drugs. Kind of almost gets there but Things Will Get In The Way (but also those are after his canon point so lol) A Bitchy, horrible little vile-tempered man that planned revenge for nearly a decade after his ex-best friend tried to drown him, because he...probably wanted to commit more crimes and get more people killed. Believes that power is the most important thing you can have and is the worst person.
DESIRED CR: I pretty much love any CR that lets my character be horrible, mean, and bad.
I love negative CR and it gives me life. I will always want Silco to be terrible and mean, and maybe betray people because you can't get betrayed if you betray people first!!
I am also looking for more CR with folks who will let Silco either be extremely bitchy with them, or let him use them because he's absolutely a user. Silco is all about Kenoma bc the world can burn if his daughter is already gone so you know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So anyone who wants a sneaky bad druglord, please come to me, I'm interested in having him pursue more avenues in Achamoth over the next few months as well as do more "I'm in the background doing sneak things" type of actions! He's not a frontliner, but he can administrate a drug empire pretty well, so doing that kind of support is his thing!
OFFERED CR: I have 1 bad horrible little man to offer. He's mean and bitchy, and kind of a drug kingpin, so if you like any of these things, I'm your gal! Silco has been spending a lot of his time in Achamoth getting to know the streets, the bars, drugs, etc, so if you are looking for a guide down there, he probably has the know-how to get around at this point!
He also like...does not move through the streets with his aion stuff on display, so most people in Achamoth probably think he's weird and nosy. So if you have a character who likes intrigue, or you're looking for someone to get involved in some, I'm game for it!
PLOT HOOKS: Silco still has 0 powers, so he's getting a little bitchy about that, since he doesn't know any magic anyway! If someone tries to teach him he may (begrudgingly) take lessons for cantrips since he can't even really do those yet. He is also pretty much on board with Kenoma, and like... probably would be no matter what, since he's a horrid little person that poisoned his city to free it. Not the way to go. He has no relative strengths beyond his own wits and smarts, and sometimes uses knives, if that's a good hook!
City and crime things! Silco is still on the hunt for people that are his type, so he's hanging around in Achamoth, trying to get a name up for himself beyond "the weird guy who was asking about crimes" last time! He's really all about that secret intrigue, so he's making much more efforts in those avenues.
Betrayal! If you mention betrayal around Silco he starts giving speeches. It's awkward, there might be a weird baptism involved. It's bad for everyone, but it is him, he is cringe.
Also drowning. A thing. He has Opinions. He's just a weird little guy who might also be a gaslighting dad, he's horrible
EVENT PLANS: I may help w/ a log for new Kenomies who want to hang out in Achamoth in the entertainment district! Since Silco's a club/drugs/bar type, so getting down into the city is kind of his thing, so that's a vague plan I am toying with!
Other than that, Silco will just be around, being bitchy, etc etch, the usual. I have a pretty open-plan until the event other than maybe putting up a log!
ANYTHING ELSE?

Akua Sahelian | Sovereign | Pleroma
NAME: Akua Sahelian
CANON: A Practical Guide to Evil
LEGACY: Sovereign
SECT: Pleroma
CHARACTER PITCH: Akua’s a Praesi Noble, which means she was raised to literally potentially be the Dread Empress of Praes, and her early days were filled with just that goal. She literally put her soul into a Phylactery at the age of thirteen, and was a schemer of the highest order, until a chaos agent with a dream of peace made her experience an emotion and made her start to feel bad about what she did. Akua is a Villainess who can do good, and her story is mostly the story of: how does one find redemption, after committing a grave act of killing an entire city of people. Or essentially: Former big bad rival becomes trapped in her rival’s cape as a ghost, where she learns that your actions have consequences, and that you actually do have to rely on other people, to make a better world. Also that you might experience an emotion and that can be Very Upsetting I Guess.
DESIRED CR:Everyone! Okay, okay, that's kind of the "usual", but being someone who was a highborn noble, Akua will be looking for networking across the board! She's gonna be going for talking to folks left and right, and pursuing connections with people as she starts out her time here.
Kenoma aligned folks!!! I know that this will be harder prior to the event, but Akua is a villain! She's a bad gal who did bad things (like killed an entire city and turned it into a flying fortress bad) so she's going to probably be down with talking with Kenoma folks at the first opportunity! If more to see the "why" on their choosing of Kenoma. Her world operated in a much more "black and white" kind of mentality for most folks, so seeing what motivates people will be extremely interesting for Akua!
Magic users! Akua is a Trismegisteran Sorceress, which is just. Magic calculus! She'll want to make connections with folks like that to see how the magic is used in different worlds, since she's actually big on magic theory and was also known as the Diabolist at one point, so she also really likes demon summoning, even though it won't work here. Weeps.
She will probably predominantly hang out in godsblood since it's an actual city, although I suspect she'll also check Greentruth out briefly! So please I'm serious let's hit each other up and see what happens! Akua's going to be fun in Pleroma, given her villainess leanings, so I'm super excited to see how those chips fall!
OFFERED CR: From CR with Akua, you will get
- High fantasy title lore
- A Sorceress who probably should have been told no more than once in her life, but is actually quite brilliant with magical theory
- Someone who has half of her body partially necrotized! That's very exciting and fun!
- She's haughty and from a place where you take anti-venoms and poisons before you go to a public event! That's just ~how it be~ so she's going to be an odd fit in Pleroma!
PLOT HOOKS: - I will assume our TDM threads are canon, unless I hear otherwise! Just hit me up, if you'd rather a fresh start! I'm always down for retconing if needed!
- Akua will probably be looking a lot around both Greentruth and Godsblood for information about the last war, as well as trying to help with the resistance. She's rather skilled with a broad range of subjects, so she may be trying to get involved in say, potion making, magic, etc.
- She's also a bit of a villain, so... she may eventually go to fast or two hard with the violent clapbacks. Please feel free to be present or be the subject of it! I'm always down for letting that bit come out with her!
EVENT PLANS:
- History will be a big interest because that's just how it is in her world, so she will likely be looking around for folks to talk to and hit up for information, as well as researching by talking to people as much as she finds herself welcome. She may find herself in a little bit of trouble by being too excited to find new local lore!
- She will likely be around both cities a bit, and looking for people to talk to! So if there are open logs, she will be there to hit them up!
