organic whole food store

Hey so sorry ive been busy lately. What can i do to help?

Well:

Each moderator can claim a leader of a faction, as well as a board of director member of the Technocracy - I suggest whatever face claim you use for the board member, do not get attached, they'd have to die to move the plot onward to the next arc. The human factions can be claimed, but the information is still malleable and being shaped, in a previous message, there is some general information, so if that is more up your alley, you can claim them.

We are currently coming up with locations for the role play. There are four - I think - main districts to the city of Venice, Barrens, Glades, Market, and Suburbia. All locations should relate to the district's description in some way.

Just a side note, when you claim a Dreamer, keep in mind they are the main antagonists.

Ay ok, I'll look through the factions and claim one
Do we need to claim a specific role for the board members? Or are they all the same?

I think they'd all be the same. They rune the Technocracy, but instead of one Faction leader, there are multiple.

There are currently 9 Factions. Should we add one more for an even number?

I need Frankenstein-like gifs(like that scene from AHS) for our last artificial life form.

Also, if you can give suggestions on the powers of a multiple, that would be great. Because I have no idea what to give them.

I couldn't find any frankenstein-ish gifs but I found a couple gifs from the autopsy scene from htgawm (view spoiler)[

as for multiples, I'm not sure since I really don't know much about them? besides them having multiple souls in one body, that is

Hello!

Anything I can help with?

Other than suggesting locations(and into which district they go), not that I can think of? Other than beginning characters? As a mod, you can claim a faction leader.

You can make a list of species you'd like to see added, as once I go public and people start coming in, I will periodically add some new ones. (got an idea for cupids, clones, and some yokai)

PEEVED

I know Peter Rumancek and Roman Godfrey from Hemlock Grove's names are connected. Rumancek is a term or something for a flower, and one subtype of the flower or whatever is called Roman (flower name), pretty sure it was a chrysanthemum. But can not find that article anywhere.

Chamomile. Roman Chamomile. Okay. Never mind. Found it.

species: I think there should be enough? I mean judging from the number of comments in the otherkin thread there's probably around 58 already. Maybe we should make an index though? So people can navigate around better or if they want to read up more on a particular species they can do so easily.

And I looked through the thread to see which species need abilities and I've only found ghouls? And we should write out the abilities for the tulpas, golems, and androids.
+ What about the homunculus? Do we need to discuss them?

fractions: I was reading through the thread again and I can't remember if I've asked this before but is the Technocratic Union a fraction or an alliance thing among all the fractions?
and i may or may not switch fractions idk my taste seems to be different now
+ Are there any special relationships between the fractions? As in, do the Thules particularly dislike the Templars or are the Masons friends with the Hermetic Order, etc. etc.? Or do they just walk their own ways? I mean, they're bound to conflict one another right? Considering they all have their own different ways.
+ And maybe we should have a folder just for the fractions? And every fraction gets a thread with the jobs and info and announcements and everything so members can find out everything they need to know about their fraction in one place?

guardians of the watchtowers: Are these guys like myths? And if so, I'm taking they're npcs?

important peeps: From what I gather there are a few important players in this whole thing. The dreamers, oracles (+ their guardians?), fraction leaders and the mayor (?). Is there some big picture where they're all connected? Do we have a main plot in mind? Or like do they just mind their own business?

locations: These are the locations we need to sort out, right?

gym/yoga class ⇢ ahaha omg we have this yellow
pub for hunters ⇢ green district? 'cause it's close to the woods
movie theatre/opera house ⇢ yellow district because it sounds the most sophisticated or maybe red because art and gourmets
cabins + lake ⇢ green district
beach ⇢ blue? from the map it's the only one next to the sea
night club + strip club ⇢ maybe in between the red and blue? or blue, because that's the red light district
private school ⇢ yellow
public school ⇢ red (maybe a small folder will do; not sure how many of these awakened kids can stay in school)
church ⇢ mmmm maybe red. in the town square

1. I will try to get those done, but for the most part, they(ones who have no powers + homunculus) aren't exactly needed right away. They are artificial life. I thought we could go public even as I'm finishing them up. But did not realize I hadn't finished the ghouls. Frick frack.

2. The Technocracy is one of the antagonists, and each moderator but I gets a member on their board of directors. Specifically, the Thule and Illuminati hate each other. Maybe the Hermetic Order and Masons get along. Will do on the Faction thread.

3. Not myths, but npc's. The Oracles are their avatars on this world and go against the Dreamers.

4. There is an over arching plot, which can be found at the first post in this thread. It is to be loosely followed and drive via important events.

5. Will get on that tomorrow. Thank you very much.

6. Species will be added to though, over time.

ahh I feel bad for this but is it alright if I change my faction to Templar?
