Hello, folks. Token American Acanthus here. Nameless, but not always so.

Welcome Clasm!  I'm our resident necromancer and proud member of the bibliophile club.  Hope you're ready for all the recruitment pitches the orders are going to throw your way...

Hello everyone.

Street savvy shaman here.  Looks like everyone is going with their Shadow Names (or at least part of them, in Nexus' case) for their handles?

Hey Nexus, welcome to the party!  I think using our Shadow Names as our player tags is probably easiest to keep track of.  Makes the use of real names more unusual seeming whenever it comes up and helps divorce the two identities a bit in my mind.

It's technically Weaver-of-the-Nexus, but I simplified.

I suspect that the specifics behind the aforementioned "not always so" might slow those down, depending on local attitudes toward refugees from the ranks of the Seers.

Yeah, Clasm has all sorts of reasons to prefer her Shadow Name.

@Clasm
Heh, yeah I can see where that might throw a wrench in things.  I'm sure someone will still want you though, for questioning if nothing else.

Out of curiosity, which meaning of Clasm are you going for?  I know of it as a suffix in Greek words that deal with destruction or breaking things, but I've never seen it used as a stand alone word.

What prefix goes to the suffix depends on what agenda she's pursuing, since her Plan A for most problems is to be an asshole to the problem until it does something stupid. Iconoclasm, Phagoclasm, Pentaclasm... she's currently on Scopoclasm, but expect that to change to either Axioclasm or something relating to the main plot during play.

It's why she just goes by Clasm; it avoids the tedium of reintroduction.

Ah, haha that's pretty damn cool.  I'll be curious to see how it turns out in play.

Who all is taking the actual Shadow Name merit?

While mechanically tempting, it's not on my to-buy list.

Doesn't really mix well thematically with Occultation, unfortunately. Might pick it up via Sanctity of Merits if she gets too high profile for some reason.

I think I'm done.

I'll be filling in the personal description and such.

Does anyone need any help with anything?

And so there were six! We've got our cast, welcome everybody!

Still have character stuff to hammer out but we should get our teeth into actually playing within the week.

Hello! Hi, everyone. I'll be the final jerk for this thing. Good to meet.

It seems we'll be a very international group; Selene is an Australian moon goddess/Mastigos. She's about identity, madness, and tempting emotional intensity. I tweaked her concept a little bit through the RTJ, and I'd love to have people to bounce some ideas for characterization around with.

In particular, I'd originally imagined Selene as an Arrow, but I'm not sure how much that fits anymore. I'm debating shifting her into the Free Council, but that's unsolid yet.

Don't forget me! I didn't expect everyone to start posting so soon!

Silver Ladder Obrimos here - though I plan on taking a Spirit-focused legacy, so it looks like we'll be pretty adept at handling the Shadow between us.

I'm also taking the Shadow Name merit! Two dots now, and will probably up to three later. Selene, I'd be happy to talk ideas with you, especially since it looks like we're both taking on Goddess Shadow Names.

Hello everyone! Golly it was a wild ride getting approved for me, each time I submitted something, one of you posted here and described your character concept that was eerily similar to what I had just written!

I'm still cannibalizing the last concept (streetwise thyrsus runewalker) into this fine fellow, but the gist is that he's a Runewalker and something of an occult addict. He's also a Guardian, albiet one who still needs to undergo his veils (since he's only been Awake for a couple months). I plan on focusing on my ruling arcana (Mind/Space) and not really branching outside them, since I sort of want a "pure" warlock experience right now, there's a Legacy that would probably be perfect for Serpent but I'm not really interested in pursuing one right now (but that might change in the future, who knows). If I can afford to, I plan on taking the Shadow Name merit.

Sorry about that, but this group has a large amount of Fate, Death and Spirit magic to go between you all. Needed to try and make it a little balanced.
