Long Game 11: Twinborn Village

[Newan]

Long Game 11:

Twinborn Village

 

"Gather around to hear the history of Twinborn Village, a settlement born of two cultures that were twin in their oppression by the Final Empire and their desire for freedom.  

“Legends tell of a time, many generations ago, when your ancestors lived as slaves to an evil god, the Lord Ruler, in a kingdom above the ground where the sun burns so hot that the air turns to ash.  The Lord Ruler used metal spikes to give mystical powers to his wicked servants.  It is even said that in his quest against truth, he commanded evil spirits to take the forms of the living and confound the eyes of the righteous.  

“The noble Terrisman joined with the clever Skaa to create the Founders, a mighty alliance against the forces of darkness.  They fought valiantly against the vengeful god for many seasons, but eventually chose to leave.  You cannot devote yourself to pushing back slime without sullying your own hands, so the Founders departed the Final Empire with haste.  They passed the mountains and came to a land where the air was clean.  There they built a new home into the caves, a home of liberty and prosperity.  

“We have thrived here for many years, but now we are faced with a new threat: the Spiked.  They think that they can use the evil craft of the Lord Ruler to rob us of our lives and our god-given powers and desert us.  The fools!  In their own greed, they would bring the Final Empire crashing down upon us again!

“All of you are special.  All of you were born with two abilities, one of Allomancy and one of Feruchemy.  You are living in this time for a reason.  This is your purpose: to kill the Spiked and return peace to Twinborn Village.  I name you, the Twinborn!”

 

Welcome to Twinborn Village, which was founded when the survivors of a crushed rebellion ran away and hid in some caves.  I put the rules in spoiler tags to keep this post from being too ridiculously long. Signups are now officially open!

Factions

Twinborn: This village is a wonderful place.  You must save it from the forces of evil.  

Win condition: kill all of the Spiked.

 

Spiked: Those twinborn elitists think that all the power belongs to them by divine right.  Kill them so you can return to the Final Empire, where hemalurgists are probably accepted for the forward-thinking individuals they are.  

Win condition: kill all of the Twinborn.  

 

Kandra: You didn’t particularly like it in the Final Empire, so when you were undercover in a rebellion that decided to flee, you just went with it.  You’ve been switching bodies for years, keeping your identity hidden.  Survive.  

Win condition: don’t die.   

Day and Night

Day cycles will last 48 hours.  During the day you may vote and use daytime powers.  

Night cycles will last 24 hours, plus another 24 hours for atium and electrum, and for the GMs to calculate events.  During the night you have three action periods, which can be used in many ways.  

Actions include, but are not limited to using some allomantic powers, storing or tapping some feruchemical powers, moving to a different zone, blocking a tunnel, searching for an item, using an item, using the “Spiked Kill” action, or sleeping.  

If you do not sleep during a night, you will sleep through the next day and will not be allowed to vote.  

Map

There are 9 caverns, connected by tunnels.  Everyone starts in the Town Square.  

You can use an action period to attempt to move to a different cavern, or to attempt to block a tunnel.  If there are as many people blocking a tunnel as there are trying to pass through it, none of the travelers are successful.  If more try to pass through than try to block, the travelers are all successful.  

Traveling is successful if # of travelers + charges of steel tapped > # of blockers + charges of iron tapped.  

Actions

This game includes active powers (powers which use an action), background powers (powers which don’t use an action) and passive powers (powers which are always ‘on’ and will activate automatically).  

Most powers can only be used on someone who is in the same room as you.

Because it is difficult to know who is in a room with you, it’s a good idea to include contingencies to keep your actions from failing.  Rather than just saying “Attack Newan”, you can say “Attack Newan, but if he’s not there, attack a random person.  If nobody’s there, charge Pewter.”  Whenever you use a power that requires a target, you can target a specific person, a random person in the room, or a person guarding a specific tunnel adjacent to the room.  You cannot say “attack a random person who isn’t spiked” or “attack a random person who is either Newan, Aonar, Meta, Joe, Mailliw, or Wilson.”  You could say “Attack Newan.  If he’s not there, attack Aonar.  If neither of them are there, attack Meta...” but let’s be real: life’s too short for that many contingency plans.  

When calculating random events, a player who is successful in passing through or guarding a tunnel is considered to be in both rooms adjacent to that tunnel for that action period.  

In order to make it easy on the GMs, try not to be vague in your action PMs.  

Bad action PM:

I want to attack Newan and sleep and look for an item, and I want to be charging Chromium.  

Good action PM:

[1. Attack Newan] [2. Sleep] Begin charging Chromium.  [3. search for an item.  I am in room A2]  Stop charging Chromium.  

It doesn’t need to be that exact format, but try to make it clear.  

Items

You can use a night action to search for an item. You have a 1 in 6 chance of finding a pretty cool item, a 1 in 12 chance of finding an awesome item, and a 1 in 24 chance of finding an uncanny item. If two people find the item at the same time, I’ll flip a coin. Each room only has one item in it at a time, but once somebody finds the item in a room, that room will gain a new hidden item. Each write-up will include an updated map that shows which rooms contain which kinds of items.

Pretty cool items:

● Aluminum foil hat—makes the wearer impervious to emotional allomancy. (passive)

● Metal spike (steel, pewter, brass, bronze, aluminum, duralumin, or gold)—use to kill someone only once (1 action period). If they just happened to have a power that could be taken by that kind of spike, the spike is now charged. You can stab yourself or someone else with that spike (1 action period) and they gain the power contained in the spike. If the spikee was not already one of the Spiked, they have a 25% chance of being switched to the Spiked team per allomantic/feruchemical spike they receive.  If you are Spiked and you choose to stab someone with one of these charged spikes, there is a 100% surety that your target’s alignment will switch to Spiked.   

● Two metal spikes (tin, iron, copper, or zinc)—use to kill two people (1 action period each). Once you have charged each spike, they are a Blessing. Use a blessing on yourself or someone else to give them an ability (1 action period). Those abilities are listed under "Kandra". Gaining a blessing does not change your alignment, unless you gain two Blessings of Potency and become a koloss. You can use a blessing on a mistwraith to turn it into a kandra.

● Wooden shield—protects you from one kill, but it will not protect you from a lynch. (passive)

● Metal armor—protects you from all kills other than coinshots and lynches, up to 4 times. (passive)

Awesome items:

● Sterrion 36 (early prototype)—gives you the ability to kill (active). Because the gun needs to be reloaded, you can only use it once per night. You can use the gun to kill someone in a room with you, or in an adjacent room. Warning: every time you use it, there is a 1 in 24 chance it will blow up in your face and kill you. If the gun blows up, your intended target will survive.

● Lerasium alloy—burn this metal (1 action period) and you will gain a random allomantic ability.

● Unlimited caffeine—you no longer need to sleep. (passive)

● Atium spike—kill one person with this spike (1 action period) to steal one of their allomantic or feruchemical abilities. You specify which one you want. You can then spike someone (1 action period) with the same team-changing effects as the “metal spike” item.  

Uncanny items:

● Pure lerasium—burn this metal (1 action period) and you will gain all the allomantic abilities.

● The Mighty Hazecrusher, Pure Aluminum Warhammer of Absolute Destruction—gives you the ability to kill (active). You can use Hazecrusher multiple times in one night. Aluminum is magic-proof. Hazecrusher cannot be stopped by Allomantic iron, Allomantic pewter, or Feruchemical gold. If while wielding the Mighty Hazecrusher you attempt to move through a door and the door is being guarded, the person guarding the door is crushed and dies (passive). Beware of Hazecrusher. Bow down to its awesome glory.

Each time you search a room, you know it a little bit better. So the first time you search for the unlimited caffeine, your chance of finding it is 1 in 12, but the seventh time you search for it you have a 1 in 6 chance. That means if you search for a pretty cool item 6 times, you have a 100% chance of finding it... Unless other people find it at the same time. If two other people find it at the same time, you have a 33% chance of finding it. When somebody else finds the item, your hard work doesn’t go to waste. If the new item is pretty cool, you still have a 100% chance of finding it, and if somebody else who has searched for it less than 9 times finds it at the same time, you have instant seniority and you get to keep it. If the new item is Uncanny, you will have a 1 in 16 chance of finding it, just like if you had been searching for it 9 times. If you find an item, your knowledge of that room is reset.

Powers

Powers can be active, passive, background, or daytime active.  Many actions with targets require the target to be in the same room.  

Remember, background powers do not use up actions.  When allomantic background powers are used, they are in effect for the whole night.  Feruchemical background powers can be turned on or off between action periods.  

Allomancy:

Iron active [target: same room]. Protect someone for the action period.  

Steel active [target: same room]. Attack someone.

Tin active.  Learn which players were in the same room as you in this action period.  

Pewter passive.  Survive one attack and one lynch.  

Brass daytime active [target: anywhere].  Cancel someone’s vote.  

Zinc daytime active [target: anywhere].  Change someone’s vote.  This also cancels your vote.  You do not need to vote to use this power.  Your target needs to have voted, and you can’t change their vote to “nobody”.  

Copper background.  Make the powers of everyone in the room impossible to detect.  Protect everyone in the room from emotional allomancy.  

Bronze active.  Find out what metals are being burned, what feruchemy is being stored or tapped, and what hemalurgy is being used in the same room as you during this action period.  You’re not quite good enough to detect blessings, and any powers being used by kandra will appear as hemalurgy.  

Gold active.  Find out what would have happened in an alternate version of your life.  Ask “what would have happened if I had taken X action, instead of Y” and a GM will give you the answer.  

Malatium active [target: same room].  Receive a clue to an action that your target did not take during this night period.  

Electrum background.  At the end of the night, you receive a PM saying which of your actions failed.  You have the chance to change them.  You cannot use this power two nights in a row.  

Atium background.  At the end of the night, you receive a PM saying whether you died.  You have a chance to change your actions.  You cannot use this power two nights in a row.  

Bendalloy background.  Let everyone in the same room as you (including you) take one extra action in the night.  Fails if you leave the room.  Doesn’t work for anyone who leaves the room.  Note: you can add a fourth action to your PM just in case there’s a bendalloy misting in the room with you.  Yay for contingencies!

Cadmium background.  Everyone who is in the same room as you (including you) at the beginning of the night has one less action period for that night, even if they leave the room.  Their last action period just disappears.  Fails if you leave the room.  

Enhancement Metals: if a daytime metal is used with an enhancement metal, it activates for the following day, then cannot be used the day after that.  If either copper, bendalloy, or cadmium is used with an enhancement metal, it cannot be used for the next night cycle.  All other metals behave as stated below.

Aluminum active.  You cannot use any metals for the next two action periods.  Passive: If you are attacked by Hazecrusher, your aluminum activates automatically and burns up the entire hammer as soon as it enters your bloodstream.  You even manage to survive!

Duralumin use at the same time you use another allomantic metal.  Get an enhanced effect to another metal you burn at the same time, but then you can’t use that metal again for following two action periods.  

Chromium active [target: same room].  Any allomantic action your target took this action period or the following two action periods fails.  

Nicrosil active [target: same room].  Your target gets an enhanced effect for any metal it is burning at the time, but then cannot use that metal for the following two action periods.  

Enhanced Allomantic Powers

Iron active [targets: same room] Choose up to three people to protect.  Those people will be protected for this action period, and for the rest of the night.  

Steel active [targets: same room] Attack up to two people.  Passive: Survive an attack this action period.  

Tin active.  Learn the location of everyone on the whole map, even those hiding in the rafters.  You also learn which item is in the room with you.  

Pewter active [target: same room].  Attack someone.  Passive: If you are attacked during this action period, your one chance to survive is not used up (but you can’t use your pewter for the following two action periods).  

Brass and Zinc daytime active [targets: anywhere].  Effect the votes of up to two people.  If either of these people turn out to be practitioners of hemalurgy (including kandra), you get to control that person’s vote until you or they die, the game ends, somebody else takes control of their vote, or until they receive an aluminum hat or a blessing of stability.  Enhanced emotional allomancy can pierce a non-enhanced coppercloud.  

Copper background.  The size of your coppercloud is increased to include the connecting rooms.  

Bronze active.  Discover the powers being used in the connecting rooms as well.  Enhanced seeking can pierce a non-enhanced coppercloud.  

Gold active.  Ask “how could I have achieved X?”

Malatium active [target: same room] Receive a clue to an action your target did not have the ability to take during the night.  

Electrum background.  Find out not only what failed, but why it failed.  

Atium background.  See not only whether you were killed, but who killed you.  

Bendalloy background.  Adds two action periods rather than one.  

Cadmium background.  Takes away two action periods rather than one.  

Aluminum and Chromium Doubles the wait time.  

Nicrosil active [targets: same room].  Nicroburst as many people as you want.  (If two people nicroburst each other, they both can also nicroburst everyone else in the room.  That would be crazy.)

Duralumin Double-enhancement is addressed later, under “very rare occurrences”.  

Feruchemy

Charging feruchemy is a pain, and it takes precious time.  If you accidentally use more charges than you need, the extras will not be used up.  For example, if you say “...3. Tap Gold” but you aren’t attacked during action period 3, it will not use up a charge.  However, you can’t say “...3. Tap Gold if I’m going to be attacked, but if not, sleep”.  Contingencies are in case of failed actions.  Tapping extra charge isn’t a failure; it’s just redundant.  

At the end of every cycle in which you use feruchemy, we will tell you how many charges you have stored.  

Iron

Storing weight is a background power.  While storing, you can climb in the rafters.  

Benefits of the rafter life:  You can sneak past people blocking the tunnel.  You are not visible to tineyes, and you cannot be hit by most attacks.  

Rafter cons: You cannot perform actions that target someone in the same room as you, or search the room for items.  Also, you can still be detected by seekers, and you can still be hit by coinshots and lynches.  

If you stop storing in between actions, you drop harmlessly to the ground.  Each action period you spend in the rafters counts as one charge stored.  Each day spent in the rafters also counts as a charge.  

You can tap weight while blocking a tunnel to become a human doorstop.  Each charge of weight you tap acts like an extra person guarding the tunnel.  

Active power:  If you are in the rafters of a room, you can decide to tap 16 iron charges at once to collapse the cavern.  It counts as an attack against everyone in the room, including you.  If anyone survives, they exit in a randomly selected direction.  

Steel

Storing speed is an active power.  You are so slow that you can’t do anything.  

Tap speed while moving to move multiple spaces in one action period.  If you are tapping while you try to move past a guarded hallway, it behaves as if there was an extra person pushing to get through.  If you want to, you can say something like “... 2. Move north. 3 Move west.  For actions 2 and 3, tap as many charges of steel as necessary.”

Tin

Storing senses is active.  You can’t flipping see! You can’t do anything.

Tapping senses is active [target: anywhere].  For each charge you tap, I will tell you 5 words from a PM conversation or google doc that the target is a member of.  

Pewter

Storing strength is active.  You are so weak.  Just sit this one out.  

Tapping strength is active [targets: same room].  Tap two charges to attack someone, or four charges to attack two people, or six charges to attack three people, etc.  

Gold

Storing health is active.  You have eczeeema.  You blister to the touch!

Active tapping:  Tap 1 charge to protect yourself this action period.  

Passive tapping:  If you are attacked and you have enough health stored, your power acts passively.  Four charges are used up.  

Gold cannot save you from a lynch.  

Electrum

Storing determination is bad news.  Not only does it use up an action period, but you also drop any items in your possession and you attempt to travel in a random direction.  

Tapping determination is bad news for your enemies.  You can tap Electrum while doing other actions.  Whenever an action fails, you will use electrum to try again.  This gives you an extra action period, and offsets your other actions.  

Example:  You could send in these night actions “While tapping determination, 1 move north. 2 Coinshoot Newan. 3 Sleep.”

If somebody was guarding the door for the first two action periods and a lurcher was protecting Newan for all three action periods, here’s what would happen.  

Action period 1: Pinnacle attempts to move north.  Fails.  

Action period 2: Pinnacle taps one charge and attempts again to move north.  Fails.  

Action period 3: Pinnacle taps another charge and attempts to move north yet again.  Succeeds.  

Action period 4: Pinnacle coinshoots Newan.  Succeeds.  

Action period 5: Pinnacle sleeps.  

Cadmium

While storing breath, you find it difficult to run.  Don’t move for a night to store a charge (passive).  Extra oxygen to the brain helps you stay awake.  Tap a charge after a night without sleeping so you can vote.  

Bendalloy (passive)

You have all the food you could ever possibly need.  After day three, everyone else is feeling pretty lethargic, but you get one extra action per night!

Zinc

You can store mental speed slowly or quickly.  Slowly doesn’t use up any of your action periods, but I won’t tell you if any of your night actions failed.  Storing mental speed quickly uses up an action period.  Yes, this means you could store up to 4 charges per night.  When you tap mental speed (active [target: same room]), you can analyze someone Sherlock-style.  Tap 1 charge: find out their team alignment.  Additional charges tapped will reveal, in this order, the identity of the target if the target was selected randomly, what powers the target has, what items the target is holding, what action they are taking, and what previous actions they took.  

Brass (passive)

For the first two nights you are storing.  You’re cold, but it doesn’t effect your actions.  If you are killed any time after that, you erupt in a ball of flames, attacking the person who killed you.  If you were lynched, it attacks the last person to vote for your death.  

Copper (passive)

You are the perfect messenger.  As long as you are alive, direct messages are still allowed.  

Bronze

You can sleep extra in a night to store wakefulness, and then later you can tap wakefulness so you can vote without sleeping.  

Chromium (background)

While storing fortune, bad things are twice as likely to happen to you.  This includes random attacks.  Each action period you spend storing fortune gives you 1 charge.  

While tapping fortune, good things are twice as likely to happen per charge you tap.  For example, if you tap three charges while you search for an awesome item and the owner of the gun shoots at you, there is a 2 in 3 chance of you finding the item and a 1 in 3 chance of the gun blowing up.  Beware of Spinners.  Beware of Hazecrusher.  

Nicrosil

If you choose to store investiture while burning a metal, that metal has no immediate effect.  Later, if you tap that charge while doing some other action, you can use the metal while doing something else.  You can use this to multitask.  You can tap as many charges as you want at a time.  

Aluminum (background power)

While storing identity, a tineye who sees you will not learn who you are, just that they saw “ a person”.  While tapping, a tineye who sees you will learn who you are and what your alignment is.  

Duralumin (daytime active)

While storing connection, your vote won’t count.  You can still vote, but in the write up, your vote will appear just like it had been soothed.  

While tapping it, your vote counts for one extra vote per charge tapped.  However, you must say how many charges you are tapping in the public thread when you say what your vote is.  

Atium (background power)

While storing or tapping age, you are unrecognizable to tineyes.  However, you have to store or tap for a whole cycle (night and day) at a time.  If you are storing age, you are old and have trouble walking.  You can’t attempt to move which room you are in, or block a door.  If you are tapping age, you are young and nobody listens to you.  Your vote doesn’t count.  

Kandra

The kandra win condition is to survive as an individual.  The kandra have a google doc to communicate in, but they don’t have to work together.  

Each kandra starts the game with a blessing.  

Blessing of Awareness: You have very good senses.  Whenever you are attacked, you will be told at the end of the night who attacked you.  

Blessing of Potency: You are very strong.  Gives you the ability to survive one attack OR perform two night kills.  

Blessing of Presence: You have an exceptional memory, and you never lapse into shock.  Whenever you are attacked, one ability of the attacker will be subtly revealed in the writeup.  

Blessing of Stability: You have great emotional fortitude.  You cannot be taken over by emotional allomancy.  

If a kandra kills another kandra, it gets to scavenge all Blessings from its body.  If a kandra is killed by a non-kandra, any other kandra can go to the room where it died and say “Search for Blessing” as an action.  It will have a 1 in 4 chance of finding it.  Knowledge of rooms doesn’t apply to finding the blessing.  You have a 1 in 4 chance every time (unless you are a spinner).  

People in the spectator doc can designate themselves as mistwraiths.  If you get your hands on an extra blessing, you can give it to a mistwraith.  That mistwraith becomes a kandra player in the game.  

Very Rare Occurrences

Koloss: If anyone receives two Blessings of Potency, that player becomes a koloss.  They are given access to the kandra doc and they have a new win condition: survive.  They now have the ability to survive one attack per night (passive) and perform one attack per night (active [target: same room]).  

Compounders:  

If you have the same allomantic and feruchemical metal, you can compound.  Once you’ve stored an amount of charge, you can specify that you are burning metal with that charge in it.  You will use that amount of charge feruchemically, without expending it from your stores.  

Because not all of the feruchemical abilities work that way, here are some exceptions.  All of these are passive or background abilities.  

Bendalloy: every three nights, you get an additional extra action.  So after night three, you have four actions.  After night six, you have five actions.  Et cetera.  

Brass: every time you are attacked, the attacker is attacked back.  Say that five times fast.  

Copper: you are told which PMs are open, and you can request to be added to them.

Savants: If you use your allomantic ability 12 times in a row if it is an active ability, or 6 times in a row if it is brass, zinc, copper, bronze, cadmium, or bendalloy, you become a savant.  You can then use your ability as if it were duralumin enhanced whenever you want.  

Multiple abilities:

Through hemalurgy or lerasium, a player can gain multiple allomantic abilities.  Two active abilities cannot be used at the same time.  Two daytime powers can be used at the same time, and background powers can be on while active powers are being used.  

Through hemalurgy, a player can gain multiple feruchemical abilities.  A player can charge multiple attributes at the same time, even though each one is considered an active ability.  However, wakefulness is the only ability that can be stored while sleeping, so you cannot store any of the other attributes while storing bronze.  

Double Enhancement:

There are ways that somebody can have their ability enhanced in multiple ways.  They can be hit by multiple nicrosil mistings, or they can be hit by a nicrosil misting while they are using duralumin and another allomantic ability, or they can be nicroburst after they are already a savant.  Any higher amount of enhancement will still just be considered to be double enhancement.  

Double Enhancement doesn’t increase the wait time over that of normal enhancement.  It’s already enough.  

Aluminum and chromium: same as normal enhancement.  

Atium and electrum: change your actions over and over again until you are satisfied.  

Gold: learn exactly what would have happened if you had taken different actions for the night, and why.  

Malatium: ask about some actions to see if the shadow of your target took them.  If the shadow took those actions, the real target didn’t, and vice versa.  

Cadmium and bendalloy: 2 less or more action periods rather than 2.  

Copper and bronze: the effect extends to the entire map.  

Zinc and brass: effect the votes of up to 3 players.  

Tin: learn everyone’s locations, learn what items are in which rooms, and learn what actions everyone in the same room as you took during this action period.  

Pewter:  the effect is doubled.  You can attack two people and survive two attacks this action period.  

Steel: you can survive an attack this action period, and you can attack up to four people in the same room as you.  

Iron (muahahahahaha): you you lurch all of the hemalurgic spikes from everyone in the room.  You gain all of those powers, and they lose them.  If you stole allomancy or hemalurgy from a spiked, you are now spiked.  They are no longer spiked, and they have no powers.  If you stole the blessings from a kandra, it becomes a mistwraith and is effectively dead unless someone puts a blessing into it.  You join the spiked doc and the kandra doc if you stole those spikes.  Note: allomantic enhancement powers come from aluminum spikes, and feruchemical spiritual powers come from duralumin spikes.  Those metals are allomantically inert, and will not be stolen with this ability.

Rule Clarifications:

 

 

PMs:

 

Players can form their own PMs, and they don't need permission.  Please include Aonar and I in the PM, so that any windwhispers or copper compounders can use their abilities.  Also, include LG11 in the title of the PM.  Other than that, you just have your basic PM rules.  Don't copy and paste information from a GM about your role into a PM with another player to prove what your role is.  If you're dead, don't talk to a living player about the game.

 

Spectators who have labeled themselves as mistwraiths can set up PMs with the living, and vice versa.  Again, they should try to include Aonar and I.  

 

Spectators:

If you want to join the spectator doc, send a PM to me or Aonar.  You do not have to be a mistwraith to be a spectator.  

 

Kandra: 

The Kandra start the game with an allomantic power, a feruchemical power, and a blessing.

 

Contingencies: 

You can only have a contingency plan for an action that requires a target.  You can only have one contingency per action period.  

 

Kandra Blessings:

The "pair of spikes" item can now be used on NPCs.  You can charge your iron spikes with human strength by targeting The Mayor in one action period and Malrick's nephew in another, or something like that.  You can still use the two attacks on players if you want to, but remember that they will only be charged if they succeed in killing that player.  

 

Because of this change, "pair of spikes" is now an awesome item, and will be more difficult to find.

Temai is a brooding soul whose family history is somewhat clouded in shadow. His father married a foreigner, dark skinned where most were pale from the ash. His mother was a light hearted woman, who never seemed to let anything worry her, when his father was brought to tears, his mother was always there with a smile and encouragement. She never seemed to be able to believe that anything truly bad could happen to her, or her family. It was something of a twist of fate when an Inquisitor came upon the small hamlet and, in the attempt of taking his father, killed his mother. The Inquisitor took the man back to Luthadel, never to be heard from again.

Temai has a hate for the final empire matched only by his hate for the Inquisitors and Hemalurgically spiked.

Cleo has come home. Role play wise he is a Smoker and a Tin Ferring.

--

Tears stained Cleo's face as she walked down the mountain side. Kae was dead. Cleo didn't think she would mourn a rival so much but while fighting people from strange universes and Odium, he had become something different.

Her tinminds, long hidden, clanked on her arms. She had barely touched them, not since she left the village of her birth years ago. Now she wore them again.

As she reached the village, Cleo tried to wipe her face of tears. But it was obvious that she had been crying.

Her long black traveling cloak wound around her. It clung to her. In the mists, Cleo could almost be mistaken for a Mistwraith, things of legend. Or, not things of legend. If what Kae had told her was true.

Either way, Cleo walked quietly into the caves and up to the small inn built into rock and walked in. The Twinborn in there looked surprised to see her.

"Cleo?" He asked, trying to squint to get a better view. Cleo turned away, so he didn't see that she had been crying.

"Yes. May I stay the night before finding somewhere else to stay?" Saying the words clearly hurt Cleo.

"Now here, Cleo. You know we can't trust anyone with a likeness to a girl who ran away..." Cleo showed him her tinminds and burned copper.

"That good enough for you?" She demanded.

"Yeah, fine. Take a room."

--

Cleo "survived" the last game an Kae did not. Besides, I couldn't role play as an Inquisitor trying to find Inquisitors. That would make no sense.

[The Honey Badger]

I'd like to play, but this would be my first game

 

Should I play a less intense quick-fix or mid-range first, or just jump in

 

If you guys think I should play I'll be Honerius Bager

[the winter system]

It's best to jump in the deep end in my opinion, but if you don't want to be part of this complex game you can just ask to be part of the spectator doc. And if you do join, I promise not to kill you the first cycle.

[The Honey Badger]

I think I'll just do it, Nike slogans aside, I agree that just jumping in would be the best idea

[the winter system]

Good! More people means more chances for Compounders and we all know how fun that will be! Welcome to SE!

[Araris Valerian]

Hadrian Penrod is making a special appearance for this game.

[phattemer]

THIS WILL BE SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!! The  Honorable... Seixa, hving been lynched, lost his titles and changed his nbut m. Revrsed it, in fact. I am in as Axies.

[spencer12347]

[Left]

[Feligon]

Faliu Faliu is m honest-to-goodness name.  If I ness someting up, I can't udo it, even in this text boxs.  It seems like bad luck is attracted to me, nothing I try to do works and I have extreme diffuculty doing even mundane tasks; it's like the universe is fighting me every step of the way.  But I swer by Ironeyes himself, that I will do anything I can to win this fabe, game (oops)

[vineyarddawg]

D'wag knew he had to join the campaign against the spiked twinborn. D'wag's family had always kept pretty much to themselves in Twinborn Village, preferring that no one learn the ancient, dangerous (or so his parents claimed) secret hidden in their bloodlines.  The peril represented by agents of Ruin infiltrating his family, though, was far greater than that of the tiny hidden village learning of his genealogy.  So, ignoring the gasps and excited whispers of the crowd as he stepped out of the shadows, he said loudly, "I volunteer!"

 

I really don't get the point of trying to keep our secret, anyway, D'wag thought. I mean, the unusual names in our family make it obvious that something is different about us. So my family was exiled from the southern continent of Scadrial many generations ago.  That's not some dark, dirty, shameful thing. After all, if there's one thing this life has taught me, it's that there's always another secret...

Rolan watched as the fools stepped forward one by one.  Don't they know that all they are doing is painting a target on their backs?  Rolan knew that some of them at least were the ones everyone was looking for.  Where better to hide than in plain sight.

I am signing up as Lord Ostrich Malescei Tekiel II, Descendent of Lord Ostrich Malesei Tekiel. Since the events of AG, house Malescei-Tekiel has moved to Roshar, Sel, Nalthis, and back to Scadrial. Lord Tekiel has a large inheritance of Breaths, passed down from his Nalthian forbears, and has taken up the profession of his great-great-great-grandfather: Stained Glass. He now creates Awakened stained glass windows, which shift their designs depending on the mood of their owners.

Alvron said what I was going to. Yes, you lost definitely are insane, Newan. But I applaud your bravery.

Millie is joining up.

Cleo sat in her room, looking across the street carved into the rock. Kae would love it here in the town of my birth. Cleo thought absently. But he couldn't come here. Never mind he is-was-reformed, the townsfolk would tear any Inquisitor apart. Many folk were walking in the streets, talking about how they would be the one to bring down the Spiked. Storm them. Storm them all.

"Cleo?" Someone walked through the door. Cleo turned. Who is it? She wondered. Could they see who I was? No, they couldn't.

Yay for mixed world cursing? Also, I'm setting it up so I can RP canonically from any of the teams. Kandra, I think, would fit best with my cannon. I'll RP more later.

[Splinter]

Quaqua Qua, a small quick-witted nine year old will be signing up.  He was born on the south side of Scadrial, unknown to the people under the Lord Ruler's rule.  At seven weeks, he was somehow transported to Saverfrex(probably instinctual worldhopping but he can't be sure), and was adopted by a family there.  He has been living with them ever since.  He has no allomantical or feruchemical abilities known yet.

Axies spotted a familiar face. He jogged over. "Hey, Bathroom!  Haven't seen you in forever! Why weren't you at that weird city? There were some pretty funky people there. Have you heard the rumors? Apparently someone was working with those creeps running the show! I got only a bad description though. It could fit you!!" He laughed, but his moood was indecipherable behind his sunglasses. "I even see some other people here from there. There's even literally half of a guy up at the inn! You gotta see it, comeon!" Axies headed u the hill toward the inn, dragging a numbly limp Alvron alongside him.

[the winter system]

Cleo walked onto the balcony as she saw two people running through the town. Cleo squinted. Was that Axies? Cleo remembered him from her youth. Cleo wanted to go down and say hi. They'd probably be gone by the time she was there. So, Cleo jumped off of the balcony.
