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:

◆ 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.

◆ 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.

yuulshi feel free to add! i'm also on discord @ yuul#0420
FUN FACTS: i have a hard time seeing colors so i look really stupid when i point at something and say "green?"

CHARACTER

NAME: Kim Dokja (last, first)
CANON: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
LEGACY: Martyr
SECT: Pleroma

CHARACTER PITCH: Local depressed man burdened with life spends all his time reading webnovels. One day, his world adopts the premise of his favorite webnovel (which he read a bunch of times like a freak), and he goes through the presented scenarios with relative ease because he's so familiar with the story. Lots of bad things happen considering Dokja's favorite pastime is creating problems for himself, and now he's more depressed than ever. But chugging through it poorly.

DESIRED CR:

People to get along with!! Dokja is very surface level friendly most of the time, so he's somewhat easy to chat with but he's always going to be a little cagey and suspicious. People who want to dive a little deeper than that to put in some effort to get him to open up would be neato.
ENEMIES... Dokja is also very good at pissing people off or rubbing them the wrong way. He can say some really out of pocket shit and make people go "who tf is this asshole?"
Optimistic types that are like HEY YOU KNOW LIFE IS WORTH LIVING RIGHT? People who love the world, people who love people, people who are happy to take him by the hand or shoulders and shake him out of his sad feelings.
The cop-out answer of ANYTHING... I can roll with literally any and all kinds of cr. I'm not picky at all and I love negative and positive cr like they are my children. I'm super easy with it all.

OFFERED CR: I wish I could offer someone cool and capable, but I'm really just playing a total loser. He's very picky about who he wants to care about because once he cares he's in that shit For Life, so I guess I could offer a loyal friend? Who would immediately sacrifice himself for your character if the opportunity presented itself. He's also the sort to do shady stuff so if your character wants to partake or be like gasp that's morally WRONG then that's cool, too. Also he isn't too sure about his role in the Pleroma atm because he's neck deep in his own bag of issues, so if someone wants to be like hey let's hash this out and cement our feelings about how the worlds SHOULD SURVIVE and what we can do to stop it then also good.

PLOT HOOKS: Dokja recently almost died so he's still recovering from that + the psychic damage he took at the time. He's a little more lost than usual and will probably go around trying to distract himself by meeting newcomers and generally sticking his nose into business that isn't his. He's mostly camped out in Godsblood right now with no real desire to meet the rebels in Greentruth. If someone wants to push him to be like hey, let's go check out Greentruth!! he could use that.

EVENT PLANS: Meeting new faces, recovering from his near death experience, getting scolded for his near death experience, etc. I'm so bad at planning I just fly by the seat of my pants and go with the flow.

ANYTHING ELSE?

i'm going to bully ruki into having ciel tell eustace dokja almost died so i can add to the yelling party

eustace? 🥺 eustace care? 🥺 eustace care that dokja almost died? 🥺🥺

more like if dokja is gonna die he should at least not do it at the hands of an angry teenager :/
