The guilds were created before the Alleyverse. The Alleyverse evolved out of the guilds. That's why you as a player/the narrator can be part of a guild.

And the thief's guild consists of low power characters. Which would support our overall goal of lowering the powerlevel a bit.

Damaya ran around a corner and bumped into Nogard. She only pointed ahead, at the pool, at Araha, only to see the rock close, Araha vanish from sight. "No." She scrambled over and looked down, where Araha had fallen. The water was gone, and with it her friend. Her only friend. "No." She repeated and stared at the rock, willed it to change, to become something else, anything else. Anything but rock. She tried to grasp its essence, understand what it was, what it could be. Steady, hard, cold, unforgiving. "Just change!" She shouted. "You stupid rock, just change. Vanish, be gone." Unsurprisingly, the rock stayed a rock.

I am fine with the points sytem, should we decide on it, though we might need to find a good way to balance weeknesses. I mean, as long as you don't need to spend all points it could work. And we still need to apply some rules, to keep it logical. A lot of the op characters mix different types of investiture, that's something I'd like to avoid, at least a new character. And we need to think about skills a character has. Like fighting, knowing hemalurgy and so on.

Althea heared someone and then opened her eyes. Rick. "You killed Max." She stated tonelessly.

Damaya felt the ground shake, and with a scream she fell to the ground. The storm? Was this the storm? Coru buzzed slight on her arm and she turned around, saw Araha vanish. Hastily she ran over, just in time to see her plunge into the water below. Damaya waited, called her name, and nothing happened. Araha was still alive, wasn't she? She couldn't be dead. "HELP!!!" she screamed. There had been other, they could help, they had to help. She screamed again, and then blindly ran in the direction, where she hoped she could meet the others again, calling for help as loud as she could. @Ookla the Paragon @Ookla the Phoenix

Lena arriving in the Alleycity for the first time. I didn't want to necro 16yp, and I guessed it would work here as well. (Somehow it messed up my formatting, but when I try to edit it, it looks fine... sry for that)

This means... wedding actually is number one in this election right now???

Edit: Thank you pinning the thread of course! I thought simply linking the relevant posts in the OP would be enough. I can add the summaries, too, but since they are going to change regularly, it will make it really complicated for everybody except for me to keep theirs updated.

The forge Location // IT owned by Laonin (Karnatheon) Investiture for a better Life Foundation Location // IT owned by Sephtis/ Solace Alleyzon Location // the Alleyverse shipping company ===================================================== @Voidus That could be helpful, especially if we really only edit our posts, instead of posting new ones. What do you think?

I don't think I live in an untidy household, but I don't do that kind of cleaning weekly...

I've lost again T_T

I baked cookies after a recipe from @whattheHoid and forgot the sugar.

They stood on a large rock, held an "y" up in the air and listened to the shouting of the other letters, calling the "Ys" King.

Althea stood still for a moment, stared at the place where Sephtis had been. Protection. It was about protection. She started to walk out of the door, reached out for Max, wanted to ask him what he thought of this, and her steps faltered. Max. Supporting herself on the door frame she stared at the white walls around her, tinted a dark grey by her sunglasses. Max. "He is wrong." she told Brashen. "He has to be wrong. He was manipulating us, from the first day on, why shouldn't he lie now?" Brashen only hugged her neck, his silence answer enough. "But it would be logical for him to lie." Althea protested, grabbed the frame harder, feeling like a defiant child. "Brashen, it would be, wouldn't it?" Her voice rose, almost hysterically echoing through the room and the hallway beyond. "He has no reason, to tell me the truth." She clung to that thought, to the possibility that she had been lied to, that she was being played, like a ball. "Max." his name was like knife turning around in her gut, and she leanded against the wall, tears running down her face. MAX!!! she reached out for him, not caring, that she was screaming into a mental void, that nobody was listening. Throwing her head back she hit the wall, pain racing through her head, almost welcome, because it was real. Max had told her to go on, and she needed to, needed to clear up this mess, if not for herself, then for him. And yet, she stood there, unable to take another step forward, unable to really think of their ideas, their plan. He had been the vital part of it, he had been the one strong enough to do something against Sephtis influence, if only for a while. She couldn't do it without him. She had no chance without him. "He has to be wrong." she repeated and to words were like cheap candy, too sweet to be really enjoyed and yet too addicting to be put aside. If Sephtis was wrong, if he was alive, if, if, if, if... Her thoughts turned around and around, not wanting to accept the fact, that Sephtis probably was right. He hurt so many people, he probably delightened in their pain, their fear, their helplessness. There had been no reason for him to not tell her the truth. Almost unconciously she changed the colour of her dress to black, dark against her pale skin and her white hair. "He has to be wrong." her voice broke as she tried to convince herself, that he was wrong, and yet, silence was an answer too. Althea stood there, sobbing uncontrolled, clinging to the thought, that he had been wrong, and yet knowing, that she was lying to herself. Pain, mind shattering, heart breaking pain envelopped her, took her in its embrace, pressed on her, suffocated her. No way out, no way around. He had to be wrong, please let him be wrong.

Before we all start making characters, shouldn't we first decide on a timeskip (at least relevant for Itiah and myself)/ if we allow characters to be kept and if yes, which?

I like the suggestions, as they offer a good guideline, but I can understand why some feel too restricted by them. I think, if we as a comunity approve of a character, maybe with the mods (and Archer?) to have the final say, or a poll if it seems like we have different opinions around, we should be able to balance it. In the end, I feel like we have different images in our heads when we talk about powerlevels, so maybe we could pick a few existing characters as examples, so that everybody has something for orientation.

That type of cleaning I'm utterly convinced there's no need to do it monthly.

To the time of the ending: I'd like to finish the ongoing plots first. And maybe a wedding?

That's actually not too wrong. But it could be difficult with him also being the pet and me the second cousin distant as was proposed earlier We really need to make a family out of this thread and see it grow over the time, when new members join the Alleyverse. That could be really cool.

Is it her birthday today?

And then to a whole apple.
