Story Game Prep
Hello all! From June 12th to Jun 19th, there will be a pseudo-explora game that is all about your characters' psyche.
This is an INFO-GATHERING post, so you can tell me things so I can put them in the game! Below I'll have some examples of what I'm looking for. The game is not inherently trauma but basically whatever people put down I'll integrate into the setting.
Sign-up post is HERE -- here's some details!
=> You can sign up for TWO sessions max but one team and one mixed.
=> Each mixed session can have up to FIVE people in it, and needs a minimum of TWO to happen.
=> Team sessions have NO limit to number of people, but there can only be ONE session per team. (For example, Theseus could sign up for Session A with some friends and then Session O with the rest of his team. Or he could sign up for just A or O.)
=> I have a fairly open schedule so I can probably make some weird times work for your teams if needed.
=> The session times listed on the sign-up sheet are mostly for organization but if you (and your group) needs a different time I can probably make it work! Ping or DM me on discord!
INFO-GATHERING
This can be in their Limelight AU OR their true canon, it is what YOU as the player want to interact with.
You DO NOT have to fill it out to play.
You DO NOT have to fill out every section/fill out every section fully!
Character please list their TRUE NAME and their nom de plume
Family
A Place of Significance this should be a location that someone can experience. A subway car. A meadow with a fairy circle made out of death angel mushrooms. A classroom. Etc. Include as much detail as needed for it to be recognizable to the characters. For example, "A normal classroom" is probably not enough detail. But even something like "A 6th grade geography classroom with a row of jackets hanging on the wall. Each jacket is high quality, except one that has several patches sewn into it. There's rows of desks, a teacher's desk at the front and a large hanging map." is adequate.
Meaning => Please also describe the significance of the location.
2 Items of Significance these should be small enough to be HELD and with defining features easily recognizable to the characters. Something like "A well-worn coin with the face of a mermaid on one side, and on the other, a hatless man."

Five Emotions You Want Your Character to Experience The more specific the better. Like "Fear of being lonely" is mid but "Fear of an empty house, everyone they know is dead except their parents who once supported them now turning their back on them because they're the Anti-Messiah." is better.

Amaretto
Family: Eonia
A Place of Significance: Inside the hull of the One and Only, his prized space ship. It's clean and very aesthetic, especially since he designed the fuselage himself. Best reference I have for it is here.
Meaning => It's a custom ship he flies across the galaxy, performing good deeds in the name of Idrila.
2 Items of Significance these should be small enough to be HELD and with defining features easily recognizable to the characters. Something like "A well-worn coin with the face of a mermaid on one side, and on the other, a hatless man."
1. An ocarina he was awarded after saving a small child. It is described as exquisitely crafted.
Meaning => It reminded him of the ocarina he found beneath the rubble of his wrecked hometown as a child. He was unable to play either but still recognized the beauty woven from the harsh notes. It was a moment of great epiphany for him.
2. A small white wax candle
Meaning => These are lit every time a Knight of Beauty perishes.
2 People of Significance
1. His original master
Meaning => This person trained him in the way of beauty and opened up his eyes to the Aeon Idrila and helped him become the Knight of Beauty today.
2. A fellow Knight of Beauty
Meaning => They remain unnamed, but they were a close friend of Argenti's who eventually succumbed to his own madness for power and strength. Argenti had to kill him so he could become a full-fledged knight, though Argenti refers to the madness as an "Omen of Evil" and is afraid the same will happen to him if he becomes too zealous.
3 Items of Significance These can be any size!
1. His lance, which is red and silver, another custom piece he earned as a Knight of Beauty.
Meaning => He has used it in battle time and time again to prove his worth as a Knight of Beauty and while fighting in Idrila's name. It bears the blood of all dissenters he has challenged over the years.
2. Roses
Meaning => He is strongly attached to the innate beauty of roses and has basically modeled his entire aesthetic around them because he thinks they represent classical beauty.
3. His armor
Meaning => More custom pieces that signify his status as a knight. He keeps his clean and proper at all times to uphold the values of the Knights of Beauty.
Five Emotions You Want Your Character to Experience The more specific the better. Like "Fear of being lonely" is mid but "Fear of an empty house, everyone they know is dead except their parents who once supported them now turning their back on them because they're the Anti-Messiah." is better.
1. Fear of being unable to support his siblings in Estoria since they all grew up in poverty, and his parents are unable to provide for all of them no matter how hard they work.
2. Losing his way and and becoming so successful that he no longer follows his original message of helping all kinds of people feel good in their skin.
3. Getting bitten by sentient walls or lasered by puppies or dying again in some horrible, improbable circumstance that will give him nightmares.
4. Falling in love when he fears the emotional commitment and getting his own heart broken.
5. Fear of waking up one day with terrible acne.
