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.

◆ 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: evy
CONTACT:
FUN FACTS: There is apparently a huge sub-genre of paperback gay pirate erotica novels from the 70s that I had to catalog at work. Someone collected and donated a lot of these... a lot.
NAME: Thoma
CANON: Genshin Impact
LEGACY: Wanderer
SECT: Pleroma
CHARACTER PITCH: Born and raised in Mondstadt yet currently thriving in Inazuma, Thoma is a young man of mixed nationalities whose loyalty wound up ultimately residing with Inazuma due to the close friendship he forged with the Kamisato siblings –Ayato and Ayaka. When he'd been trapped in Inazuma with no mora after trying to bring dandelion wine to his birth father, a native of Inazuma, the Kamisato Clan took him in and gave him a position as their housekeeper, one he proudly holds to this day in spite of the trials and tribulations that come with pledging his fealty to the Kamisato Clan. He simply found their righteousness and dedication to justice to be aligned with his own father's teachings and had also discovered true inner-peace tending to their household, no matter how menial the chore. Furthermore, Thoma has forged tight friendships with all the locals due to his kindness and his friendly personality, affording him a lot of leverage as far as political and social connections go.
Beneath his gentle and humble exterior and occasional spastic demeanor beats the heart of a man who knows how to pull strings and get things done around Inazuma when you need him.
DESIRED CR:
⇢ Friends
⇢ Allies
⇢ Anyone in need
⇢ "Enemies" from Kenoma
⇢ Really open to all types of CR, positive and negative
OFFERED CR:
⇢ Please be his friend. He gets along with almost everyone and will more than likely spoil your character with warm stew or whatever he can whip up together. He's a Swiss army pocket knife of a human being so he can pitch in wherever he's needed. Without his lord and lady around, he'll also be looking for people to fuss over in the interim and areas to clean and spruce up. You may find him trimming your grass or wiping your windows. He can also make a good sparring partner, a bodyguard, or a player two for tabletop games.
PLOT HOOKS:
⇢ TaskRabbit: Need something done in a pinch? Tired of seeing dirt in all those hard-to-reach places in your house? Found a cockroach or spider you're too scared to kill? Thoma is your man.
⇢ Tank Stance: Want to go sleuthing or investigating and need a bodyguard/lookout? Or just need a punching bag to lure enemies away? Why, yes, he can do all that and more!
⇢ Animal TLC: Look, he loves all the animals. Do you want to bond over cute puppies? Fawn over baby dinos? Raise some stray kittens together?
EVENT PLANS:
⇢ Finding a place in Godsblood to stow away in while here's here: who needs a live-in maid? and/or roommate?
⇢ He'll happily knit very dense ear muffs for the hunters to help smother some of the dinosaur screeching.
⇢ Trying to wrangle the dinosaurs into finding mates and hopefully not getting bitten or eaten in the process.
⇢ Helping settle local disputes or discussing wood in detail.
ANYTHING ELSE?
