Millie looks great. I give you Saha Sky Eyes:

This step is “the things we want to make sure exist in the game for it to be fun.” So themes, scene, set pieces, technology, etc. in Pathways we’ll add specific NPCs, groups, locations, and events. What we add in pathways is definitely going to be in the game. So we want to cast broad strokes here, then get specific pinpoints in pathways. if everyone is more or less in agreement, I’ll setup the pathways chart and post the Pathways Step 1 instructions here once I’m back on my laptop. I’m playing Auntie Daycare at my nieces house right now and typing that out on the phone is going to be a nightmare.

Honestly, I adore the idea that people think she's a vampire and she's not. That provides so much fun potential for NPC reactions and interactions in town.

LOOK AT HER

Edited character above with my own image generation attempt! I actually think it looks good!

Name: Millicent 'Millie' Gerenhart 'Gearhart' Age: 22 Sexuality: Repressed (Bisexual) Bio: Millicent knows machines, even if she doesn't know people. Socially awkward, tactless, kind of endearing if you can handle her latest hyper fixations, Miss 'Gearhart' lives on the fringe, grew up taking apart clockwork mechanisms in the stolen moments that were her own and- as a woman grown- is one of the finest inventors and tinkerers outside of the Big-name professors. She's creative, quick to invent something overly complex for a simple problem, and will talk your ear off for HOURS if you don'

This is my attempt at biography for my character similar to what @WickedCadrach did, it really helped me solidify how I see my character, I had fudge the timeline a bit but I think it mostly works: The Enigmatic Viscount: Edmund Blackwood's Journey to the Wild West New York Herald, October 1880 Viscount Edmund Blackwood, is a name that needs no introduction, imbued into the collective consciousness with both intrigue and scandal, has once again captured the imagination of the public. This time, his journey takes him to the untamed wilderness of the American West, a frontier of untold mysteries and adventures. As the Viscount mo

Ok, last one to the character idea party, lol. I have a more detailed story for her, but I think keeping back a few things to come out in roleplay is fun. "Yes-sir! Genu-INE snake-oil! Secret medicine passed down by a hundred generations of savage witch-doctors and wisemen. Professor Whitty has spent years studying the science behind this medical marvel, this cure-all panacea that he learned from a Lokonchee shaman in his forbidden medicine cave where no other white man has gone before! 50 cents a bottle! A case for five dollars, and you'll never need another medicine for the rest of your very, very long life!" -Missy Fisher, age

I just realized we already have a Millicent in the group Millicent "Millie" Gearhart and I'm bringing in Millicent "Missy" Fisher. @StarlitSiren, how do you feel about identity confusion shenanigans between Millie and Missy? I jumped on because I initially wanted to see if I should change my character name, but now I'm imagining the fun of having two very different Millicents in an era of letters and telegrams, with very little to verify identify.

Why I do I feel young Millicent its going to be attracted to dominant, inappropriately older men as a result of her complicated upbringing? I love it.

I love the art for your character! I do use AI a good bit, but in this case, I was just flipping through Pinterest. You can still find good stuff on there if you tack on 'character art' or 'concept art' to whatever you're looking for.

Missy sounds fun! I haven't fully fleshed out the mad scientist, who is probably the one I'll end up going with. But I will once it comes time for nailing down the characters in depth.

Wall of text ahead. tldr: Sarah's family gets killed. She's adopted by the First Nation band that killed them. Lives happily for years. Army kills her clan, tries to repatriate Saha to settlers life. She escaped, starved, beaten and exhausted then gets found by Ashborn. I guess becomes a kind of monk.

She is quite pretty, I can already see my character attemptimg to bed the "Millicent" sisters.

Wow these are great!

@IsabellaRose So if we have a full group and we have agreement in roughly what we want, what's the next step? I am not trying to rush anyone just eager toget started

(I'm a little tired, so if I get the Cortex mechanics side wrong, sorry!) Would it scratch the itch when we get to the Pathways step if we put in a specific NPC or location that was 'the one guy who really believes gliders are the future'? I'm just hesitant to drop them in here because this step feels more like 'These are the defining things about this setting; The things we want the game to be about'

One of my favorite things about the old west setting is that communication can be fairly quick with the telegraph, but transportation takes time. You can’t just zip from point A to point B. so I’d be curious what your intention was for gliders. If it’s just a one off or novelty tech then I definitely have no problem with it.

Welcome @AsBloodTurnsEverCold! I love your character idea, and I'm on board with 99% of what you've put up there. I do have a quick question on the gliders. How do you imagine them in the world? I'm trying to picture it and the setups I'm getting are... A) It's just this weird novel technology that's more gimmick than useful so far, so only the wealthy and eccentric own them. B) It's profitable enough that some entrepreneur has set up Glider Posts in a few cities that either have natural hills or towers/scaffolds to launch them from. So it's a rival to trains in a very limited sense. You can send a thousand-times the carg

Hi new to the site and trying to figure things out like how to dm people. And looking around trying to find a good place to fit in. Hopefully I’ll find a good club and some good role play partners and friends.

Perfect!

Oh I’m aware I only will give links in DMs and that’s only if the person wanted it first.

Hmm...I may hit you up if I ever need to find somebody to make stuff~

Ohh! Wonderful taste~

Thanks for the welcome it’s a pleasure to meet you. And my banner is a bit of custom art of one of my furry girls that I commissioned from one of my friends. I’ve got more like it of my other furry girls and like guys.

Oh yes I did find that shortly after saying how I was having trouble with it. But seems like a lot of things came up after posting my first thing.

Once I finish with tasks I have required for the day I will throw up a thing for my character, since it appears we have reached that point of things. Which also gives me some more time to hammer out all the little details like shifting her from being a true Vampire into some weird not-actually-a-Vampire-but-definitely-rumored-in-places-to-be-one sort of thing.

I've had so little luck generating my own

@StarlitSiren, check Sexy.ai or OpenArt.ai

AI generation in my case

LOVE the characters, @WickedCadrach I am super on board with that! Where are you all finding these beautiful portraiture?

“Aw, that shyness is cute. Wonder if it will last. The longer we are together. Nymphia, Alexandrine. Probably others.” Jumi observed with some happiness. The shyness was appealing, the degree of innocence. But since Mitsuko had said she wanted to go further, Jumi had to wonder how long it would last. Would Mitsuko eventually be the one to initiate it, with some girl that appealed to her? It was an interesting thought. ”Just you two then, assuming I can hide it from others.” There was the question of how it would work. How long it would last. She was curious. Jumi would pull the discussion away from random women. But she wou

Believe it is just going to be the three of us. Probably not likely to have anyone switch over, unless if they really like what we come up with, more than what they are doing. Assuming any of them read along with what we are doing. Though we have to develop more before that could happen. I’d fine with either the three of us, or someone switching over. I was wrestling between the basic setting ideas as well, but steampunk could be fun. Having nonhumans might make ours more distinct, whether any of our characters or not, and I don’t make ours a little more distinct (maybe, though again, I have not read what they are doing since the split).

ah wait we are down to 3 players then for this side? or is someone from group 1 switching over? personally im fairly flexible, to the point where my kinks and interest list is... for practical purposes optional, ill try just about anything once sexually per person if they think they can make it fun. that all said im a big media nut, i like scifi, fantasy, and just about everything in between... i personally would love to lean into the weird west angle and try some unique and odd things... with that said im currently leaning away from having my character herself being a beastfolk of any variety, im liking the idea of leaning into the pher

I told Isabella privately, but yeah, I am still up for this if both you Dreams are. I haven't been following team 1 since the split, just see they have been discussing more, so I don't know everything they are up to but we can make our own thing. Though I still don't have much for suggestions of what I really want to see, maybe what Dreams wants and what you do with your character will help.

Well, sorry if it is because of me but I'm happy for him nonetheless if he will enjoy the first group better. I've read a bit on that side and it seemed to go well on the planning phase. Something that can be taken as a joke but I feel that's real: "My toxic trait is overthinking" and yes, I know, I tend to do that a lot. I've been told for decades to stop overthinking and I can't avoid it. I'm ADHD and it's like our prime issue. That said, I will wait for Satai and Dream to speak (IF they want to) so we can discuss things. I tend to plan these things better as a group than alone. Btw, though... I did point out a certain anthro sometim

Oh I think that'd be perfectly fine honestly. I'd even take acknowledgement of them even if the group never quite sees them just as news or something while they're traveling on the airships. Admittedly the Gliders is a holdover from the other group since...different world. I just copy and pasted lol but my intention was for them to be another glimpse at the future which is fast approaching rather than to totally remove anything cause Gliders are cool and fun but it did take a good while before the became planes which I do see is an exclusion.

@WickedCadrach Honestly a bit of a mix between A and B. I wasn't really thinking a rival to trains or horses for sure. A new threat of encroaching tech that threatens to upend air travel but right now because of the capacity issue, elevation, spread, passenger capacity its in its infancy. You really couldn't ship stuff on gliders that well cause they couldn't handle that much weight and would likely need trains to actually get back to where they were so those industries could be friendly in places. I did say I think they should be rare cause they'd need to be built by eccentrics but in areas where they are (They weren't made on indust

You know your stuff! I'd say still preforming just trying to control it but stopping isn't really an option a mix of hesitancy and compulsion. Music is their life and they can't just stop, but if they stop paying the music will just be in their head, playing eternally, and may drive them insane and doing the same thing to them it does to those who hear it. It seeps into much of what they do looking for an escape. It must be played in the same way the Zahir (If you've ever read that) must be looked at. Willpower helps extend the periods but there's no quite escaping the need and playing for people does help for a time. Shares it tho

The King in Yellow and Erich Zahn meet Roy Rogers, it sounds like. Has he stopped performing?

I'll see eventually about getting at least a little more in on Azreal's thread too at some point. Ought to let him have a little fun before he gets stopped.

Ghosts in the Flesh I feel them before I hear them. Octavia’s laughter, sharp and familiar, coils around the back of my mind. Luna’s sigh follows, tender and aching, as if she still doesn’t quite believe she’s here. But they are both here, inside me, crowded into the same fragile flesh that was supposed to be mine alone. It was only meant to be temporary, a stopgap, a mercy. Octavia’s ghost had already been with me for months, tucked like a burning coal into the neural buffer no one else dared use. And then Luna… my bright, impossible Luna. She should have had her own body, her own future. But the people hunting me found her, and ma

Nearly went over 2k words with this one. I also had to rush to finish it, but what else is new? I'm probably going to be in Trails purgatory for about a week minimum since Sky 1st Chapter is out, but if a thing like Kinktoberfest comes along again, I will likely do what I did last year and try coming up with some kind of consistent storyline. Will I engage more in the smutty ideas? I don't know. As we know, my self confidence writing smut is borderline nonexistent still. We'll have to wait and see. If there is no Kinktoberfest, I can probably just recycle ideas from the old thread. On a dark and foggy night, a lone figure i

Mitsuko appreciated the patience of her friend. It was a bit much for now, knowing what Shinigami could do and feeling like Jumi could do this as well. She just needed a moment to think about it. With the fairy so close, her focus was completely on her partner as well. Nothing else mattered for now and it was not like anybody was in the room with them. For now, she had already forgotten about the apple, thanks to Jumi. She tried to live the sweet moment between them while they were alone. They only had been alone like this the first time they were together, truly alone. It was new for her and it still was but she felt better about it than at

“Yep, just thinking about it for now. All the things I just mentioned. Not going to try to asking for it, unless you say you want it.” It was enough to think about it, make Mitsuko think about it. There was still a small chance of convincing her, but Jumi did not expect they would do that. Though they likely would do something else. She was not afraid or ashamed to try praying for it, but would only do so if Mitsuko wanted to as well. She was starting to really want it, feel a little frustration. She could wait though. Her eyes were of course too focused on Mitsuko. Probably better she did not see the apple. She could probably

Hey, I'm looking for a roleplay of an older brother with a younger sister. The first theme idea I have is this: For some reason parents were taken out of the picture. Either they're just workaholics and barely pay any attention to the kids, or they are divorcing and fighting a lot, so the sister got offered by her brother to move to his flat. During that, the feelings would flourish and lead to... who knows what *wink* Another idea is a bit funny, Brother and sister like to RP in their free time. They had a friend on a forum with whom they did incest-themed RP for quite a bit. Neither does know that the other one does too, becau
