Aremypocalypse ~ Tinelle, Goddess of Travel~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The player list has been finalized. Here is the official patron distribution. For part B of sign ups you all will be building your characters. Please use the form and information listed in the Lore & Character Creation section located on the first page of this thread. You have until December 8th. December 9th will be a day for my final preparations. Introductory PMs will roll out the evening of December 10th. And bright and early on the 11th, the game will finally commence.
Also, there was some flip-flopping on patrons and such in part A. I need to make something very clear for this segment: I cannot afford undecidedness. What this means is: do not rush to submit your character asap, only to then make amendments to their appearance afterwards because you've allowed yourself to sit with things a bit longer. I am going to be drawing out everyone's character. There is thirteen of you. I simply don't have the time to continuously revise my work due to post submission amending.
I would rather everyone take a week to make sure what they're submitting is the final product that they are 100% happy with, rather than everyone submit within a day or two and regret their choice making. That being said, if you also have supplemental character materials (mood boards, playlists, ect) please post them in a spoiler under your form so I don't have to go digging through Discord messages to find them.
And lastly, I know there's been a lot of lore questions, but I must humbly request that these be kept to a minimum for the rest of the sign ups process, unless the question is absolutely integral to building your character. Mechanics questions and such are still wholly welcome, though.

Name: Soo Ji-hoon (or Jiji, if you're a friend) Pronouns: they/them Patron: Aethera, Goddess of LightUniform: A1 - F/E1 (modified) - H1 Appearance: imgur album w/ additional details Patron inspired feature: Iridescent eyes; the glow intensity changes roughly based on their thoughts and emotions. Crown made of light shards, spins slowly around their head.  Three personality traits:β’ Tenacious. Giving up is not in their vocabulary. Failure is an excuse to try again another time. They will not, cannot be stopped. Not even if it costs them everything.β’ Vindictive. Although they'd rather avoid a fight than pick one, they won't ever forget a wrong committed against them. β’ Independent. Would sooner bleed than admit they need healing. It's not that they don't recognize when they need help, but their pride makes them want to do without. They are also suspicious to a degree and generally expect the worst of others. Why did they choose their patron?
They didn't. They were lost and followed the light out. Additional info:
β’ Jiji grew up in an orphanage and was the runt of the bunch. After aging out of the institution, they were adopted by a rich woman with 3 other children who were also adopted. β’ The corruption they acquired prior to being enrolled in Sunrise causes them to see lively black blobs in the environment that are only visible to their eyes. They call these goops "bunnies" and recognize a few distinct shapes. β’ Surprisingly studious, despite (or perhaps because of) their background as an orphan. They speedran mandatory education after being adopted and managed to enroll into college before being whisked away to Sunrise. β’ They like spicy food and kept a stuffed animal when they were younger. They will deny this last part vehemently if asked. β’ They've been trying to bulk up and grow taller with what can only be described as negative success. They're mad as hell about it. β’ Grey ace but the rom side is still up in the air...?

Name: Jyoti Mehta Pronouns: she/her [+he/they] Patron: Astorias, God of the CosmosUniform choices: A2 + B + C, H2, E2 (Long sleeve shirt + vest + jacket, masc tie, long slacks)
Appearance: Height: 6'1" (185cm) | Age: 38-42 (undecided) Pre-sunrise, her hair was black and wavy, large curls teased out by her habit of running her hands through it. Now, it has taken on a decidedly astral hue. Her gray hairs have turned into two charming grey streaks. Family primarily from the upper half of India, her skin is a darker brown. Wears a gold-detailed eyepatch on (our POV) right eye. Large, startingly white-grey eyes are emphasized by eye bags and defined lids. Wrinkles show primarily around her eyes, and a sneaky crease from her nose to the edge of her mouth betrays her common expression of pursed lips while she thinks.
Patron Inspired Feature:[Space] Three personality traits: 1. Cognitive | acquiring understanding through thought and experience |
2. Debonair | confident, stylish, and charming |
3. Cynical | distrustful of others motives, esp their sincerity |
Why did they choose their patron?
She didn't so much as choose, as much as it was chosen for her. Her family was a big stickler on having a god to follow in footsteps and other life choices as part of tradition. Her parents were particularly True/overall gods leaning (vs specific gods like Seletta). Astorias was decided early, and shes been encouraged to follow that guidance - expected to.
Anything else you wanna say about them: - Works at a museum she's inherited from her family as its curator
-- This museum has a lot of local history as well as TWO wings dedicated to the Astorlands and its people. She's been in charge of the second wing from its concept, creation, and curation.
- Just finished getting her second masters. It was her first time being fully out of school this year. She only recently considered the concept relax. Streak broken.

Name: Yelizaveta Aira (you can use any diminutive of "Yelizaveta" you can think of and she'll answer to it) Pronouns: She/Her Patron: Dashya, Goddess of Power Uniform choices: A2, F (knee length skirt please), H1 Appearance: 18 years old, 5'0". For facial features/vibes, pretty much the below Stox Art. But for hair, I'm thinking more of a twin bun situation (see below spoiler images). For accessories I'd like some sort of flashy pink earrings, pink nail polish, and pink platform boots (I can't draw or else I'd just give image,,,  ).  Patron Inspired Feature: Pink eyes! Preferably with some element of radiance/vibrance, but I'd be happy with just the pink! Three personality traits:- Dramatic
- Vain
Insecure Super confident in all things because she's the best!!!
Why did they choose their patron? Because of course she chose Dashya! Dashya is the best and so is she!! She needs DashyaAnything else you wanna say about them:- It's okay if you insult her to her face in-character, she probably deserves it. She might get a bit flustered and will be very petty about it.
- She's recently graduated high school! She was a theatre kid, a dance kid, and a cheerleader. She's very proud of how she ran her high school.
- Her junior year, her school got a new drama teacher. Unlike the previous drama teacher, this one was all about spreading around the big roles. Yeli proceeded proceeded to blackmail their Romeo and his understudy into faking family emergencies on opening night so she could swoop in like a hero as the only other person who'd memorized his lines. Sapphic Romeo and Juliet was a big hit, and she never let the drama teacher forget.
- Peak Bi Disaster!

Name: Beax Bops (they don't like nicknames unless they're close with someone, but will answer to first or last name)
Pronouns: they/them
Patron: Alma, Goddess of Law and Order
Uniform choices: A2, B, E1 (but rolled up), H2 + semi sheer tights that usually wind up ripped and a braided gold belt
Appearance: Very pale, white hair cut somewhat untidily, bright yellow eyes, lots of dark freckles like they were splattered lightly with ink, big unfashionable glasses, 5'11" (180cm), thin and spindly with big puppy hands and feet.  Patron Inspired Feature: Capillary Action; their skin is slightly paper-like and can wick up darkness/shadow and become partially intangible. This is mainly triggered by Beax's emotional state, but the environment affects it as well. The intangibility only extends to the knees and elbows, so their head and torso/trunk are always solid.
Three personality traits: - circumspect
- reticent
- chimerical
Why did they choose their patron?
They lost their parents young in a traumatic accident and were taken in by a state institution which was really more of a cult. Their new environment was hedonistic and wild, under the guise of being a charitable organization on the surface. Accordingly, Beax has very strong feelings about lies and chaos, and deeply values things being ordered and where they should be, because they were decidedly not for most of their life.
Anything else you wanna say about them: Due to their unorthodox childhood, their primary education and form of escapism was reading. Accordingly, both their knowledge base and common sense are a bit skewed, they don't have a good sense for what is "realistic", and tend to be a bit of a pie-in-the-sky dreamer. They're used to being punished for speaking out, so deeply internalized the necessity of keeping quiet and to themself, so it takes a bit of effort and patience from others to get them to open up and show anything but a blank facade to any new people.
Extra, extra!

Name: Otis Reiher Pronouns: he/him Patron: Mortis, God of DeathUniform Choices: A2, E2, H2 (used to tie hair into a low bun, Not as a necktie) Appearance: 22 years old; 6'6", particularly strong upper body (by popular demand, comes complete with sizeable pecs). Has thick eyebrows & long lashes DV mock-up for color & full-body reference:  Drawings:   Flowers on DV avi are just placeholders to get some red & green onto the hat; ribbon has a diagonal stripe pattern with alternating red, green & gold/yellow stripes. Necklace is optional/not required, but the garnet earring and other accessories should be present. He has a matching piercing opposite the garnet, only that side only has a bare metal stud. Patron Inspired Feature: Big ol' moth wings perfect for flying (once he gets the hang of them). The key feature of the Chrysalis Painter wings in the mock-up is the coloration/color pattern, so relative size & shape are free game β whatever you think works best for those will work best! Extras!Three personality traits: - Earnest
- Public-spirited
- Conscientious
Why did he choose his patron?To him, death is not an ender of life, but a transmuter of life. Death is the very foundation that all life is built upon, and the ultimate balancer of the natural cycle. Leaves must fall in autumn to return their nutrients to the earth, so that in spring new growths can flourish. Fields must go barren in winter to rest the soil and cycle the crops, so that the soil remains fertile and next year's harvest remains bountiful and plenty. On and on it goes, connecting the whole world in what Otis sees as a truly harmonious spider's web of give-and-take. Life is always borrowed from the world, so to reject death is the greatest form of theft β an injustice so imbalanced that it is discordant with life itself! Reverence for death must be equals with reverence for life, celebration of death equals with celebration of life β and by golly does he revere and celebrate life! That is why he pays tribute to Mortis as his patron deity. (It's also a comfort to think of his loved ones β and one day himself β as guaranteed the company of someone familiar and trusted in the last moments of one's life. He just hates the idea of 'dying alone'.) (He just hates the idea of 'alone'.)Anything Else? (it's a little long)
- born on January 16th, in a large city
- lost his birth parents to a car collision New Year's Day (age 5)
- spent three and a half years in an orphanage before finding placement in a foster family (enter the Quakers)
- LOVES animals, and gardening, and tractors/trucks, and cooking/eating, and crafts β but especially animals and tractors/trucks. He's kept the same excitement about them with him ever since he was 9 years old, he's just better at acting Normal about it now
- his foster family usually used the day they became his fosters (June 12th) as the time to celebrate Otis for Being Otis & Being With Them, while his birthday was more celebrated just for the legal milestones of getting Older
- wanted his ears pierced on his 13th birthday to be like his older brother (then 17, e: biological child of Otis's fosters), as a show of him being a teenager now too, and he only cried a little (foster dad assured him that he was very brave, and treated him to some hot chocolate after)
- was given his garnet earring as part of a birthday gift from his foster parents on his 15th birthday, the second part of which was the certificate of his adoption into their family (and he only cried a Lot)
- he's very devout in adhering to the beliefs of his family's denomination: following their chief worship of Rhea and Night, believing Balance/Harmony and Justice as structures that an ideal world must pursue and uphold. Yfera is also held in high regard, for Choice and the powers of agency and self-expression that come with it are the means which unite them as a community to strive towards their ideals. Following Yfera, Winnie and Wishu are worshipped out of respect for the importance that keeping Honesty and voicing Grievances hold in the ability to enact Justice that is Balanced and Harmonious
- having a chosen patron to worship, in addition to the aforementioned five, is heavily encouraged in his denomination, and is done out of feeling a greater connection or admiration to either the deity themself or their domain. Similarly, one's "birth deity" is also regarded as important, although to a lesser degree
- one noteworthy custom of his denomination that his family adheres to is with regards to the wearing of precious stones, in that an individual may only wear any given stone if it meets at least one of the following conditions: it was gifted to them; it is a symbol of their patron OR their birth deity; it is a symbol of their partner's patron OR their partner's birth deity. Synthesized gemstones making precious stones more readily attainable have antiquated this custom, but families like Otis's uphold it as a means of both showing respect to the gods and their community and to highlight their own qualities as individuals
- he's a big fan of spiders!! He started a seasonal job for a nearby cranberry bog when he was 18 because he heard that there would be spiders in there. And then there were! So now he has something extra to look forward to in the fall
- as of now, he's the second oldest of seven β though two are still in the system as fosters (ages 2 and 5), and likely to be adopted by different famillies
- asexual/aspec, but otherwise Very Pan
Extra-extras!!

Name: EriadnΓ© Darling
Pronouns: She/her
Patron: Yfera, the goddess of choices
Uniform: A2, C, D, H1
(She wears the long-sleeve shirt, the long skirt, and the jacket. If she can get away with it, she's probably gonna use the bow as a hairbow for her ponytail.)
Patron Inspired Feature: Like Yfera, she has heart-shaped pupils.
Three personality traits:
- Driven: She is highly goal-oriented, self-disciplined, and meticulous.
- Helpful: She tends to pity those she perceives as leading unstructured/aimless lives or maintaining unhealthy/self-sabotaging habits, but she also experiences a strong desire to help such people make better choices. The result is helpfulness tainted by a sense of superiority, though the superior attitude isn't outwardly evident. (Notably, her desire to help others conflicts with her desire to be distant from others, and the latter usually wins. She rationalizes that she accomplishes enough good through social media, that she can make a positive difference in many lives without becoming enmeshed in any individual person's life.)
- Distant: EriadnΓ©'s mother died of cancer when she was a toddler, and her father never recovered. Consequently, she grew up in an upper-class household with a grief-stricken, emotionally absent father and a revolving door of stepmothers. She doesnβt admit it to herself, but sheβs frightened by the idea of growing close to someone or depending on another person. After graduating from high school, she moved into her own apartment and became extremely self-isolated. Most days, she only interacts with her best friend Maribel (a cat) and her social media followers.
Why did they choose their patron? Her life centers on the belief that small everyday choices have the power to shape oneβs fate. She strives to optimize her life through wise decision-making.
Anything else you wanna say about them: Hypothetically, another character could be aware of her if theyβre invested in the self-improvement niche. She is a social media influencer who posts content relating to self-improvement under the social media handle @elevateeveryday. She tends to focus on diet, fitness, and meditation.
Appearance:
- Overall, her looks align with societal beauty standards, which contributes to her self-confidence and her success as an influencer. She has conventionally attractive facial features and a stereotypical model body typeβtall (5'9), thin, slight curves.
- She has blue eyes and long, wavy blonde hair that she usually keeps in a ponytail.
- The majority of the time, she wears a completely neutral expressionβimpassive, stoic.
- Sheβs quite good at smiling in such a way that appears genuinely warm and friendly, regardless of her true feelings. (This is the expression that she tends to wear when capturing photos or recording videos for social media.)

Post by Chrysuberths on Dec 7, 2023 14:01:52 GMT -8
Name: Chrysanths Kritz Pronouns: They/Them Patron: Rhea, Goddess of Balance
Uniform choices: A2 [rolled up sleves to just below the elbow] & B, D (skirt length: just above knees), H1.
Appearance (This can be words or a piccrew or whatever honestly!): Chrysanths is a 24 year old comp sci major who hasn't seen the light of day for multiple weeks and hoo boy does it show. They have shoulder length blue-black curly hair, and square frame glasses that kinda obscure their hazel eyes. Chrysanths has got a bit of chronic eye bags going on, they're 5'8 but tend to slouch and thus look closer to 5'6, due to the lack of natural sunlight they look sickly and pale.
Patron Inspired Feature: Waking up in Sunrise they have found that small, tree-like growths have started snaking their way up both arms. These growths stop just before the elbow, the bark covers the skin here and there, and looks like it's peeled (note: just the bark, the skin underneath does not) and there are some leaves. They're based off of madrone trees if that helps with imagery
Why'd they choose their patron?: Chrysanths has hit a point in their life where they're very unsure of just about everything. They thought they had left that shit behind as a freshman in college, but imposter syndrome never goes away for this poor bean. The thought of balance--that everything there ever was, everything there currently is, and everything that ever will be is something pre-decided--however true that may be, brings them a little bit of peace and helps them cram in those final lines of code for an assignment at 3am. It also makes them feel quite a bit less alone.

Name: "Remy" Remora Jules Remington-Klein Pronouns: he/him Patron: Tinelle, Goddess of Travel Uniform choices: A1, C, E1, H1 Appearance (This can be words or a piccrew or whatever honestly!): Very steampunk-esque, he's got those classic goggles usually hanging around his neck, shoved on top of short, scruffy, never-brushed dark brown hair - whether it started off that way or merely darkened over the years is anyone's guess! Somewhat gangly tall frame, 18/19/20ish, bright green eyes, also often wears a top hat-esque hat - any and all other steampunk elements may apply!!! Also tends to have a brown satchel by his side, with at least one notebook in it
Patron Inspired Feature: Smallish blue moon jellyfish tattoo that floats around his right arm/rarely hand - usually mostly static except for slight pulses that you can only notice if you're staring at it (sort of has its own consciousness as it seems to occasionally help out/hinder him, but he's not entirely sure it was intentional and not a coincidence), can glow a more phosphorescent blue at night - this is what it looks like, about the same size as the bottom jellyfish in this picture (Optional Additionals!) Three personality traits:- Curious - anything to interrupt the stagnancy of normalcy is a welcome subject, and one he'll tend to dig into if possible!
- Overconfident - is willing to tackle (almost) any problem head-on regardless of actual chances of success, occasionally to his detriment!! At the worst end of the range he can be a bit pretentious at times, but generally means well
- Restless - tends to avoid staying in the same place in several aspects (see next question!)
Why did they choose their patron? While his parents were followers of Judith (his mother more devout than his father), he was never quite able to relate to them in their affinity for Judith and found himself dabbling in following different patrons (Astorias, Yfera, and Ciello to name a few) until one day when he was watching a whale documentary, fell down an internet rabbithole, and found himself following Tinelle... not an overly devout follower but he was content enough with her being someone he wanted to follow at least for a while, though he wasn't sure about for the rest of his life!!
Anything else you wanna say about them: - An only child of upper middle class-esque parents, he grew up on his own most of the time and found his own ways to entertain himself
- Currently in a steampunk-esque phase! He loves tinkering around with various bits and pieces, even fancying himself as a bit of an inventor, though he hasn't made much on his own - nevertheless, he still has his ideas and is willing to run with them!!!
- He tends to overly romanticize both how people used to live and how people will live in the future - bit of a history buff, but a lighter one more interested in what he determines are interesting events and much more rarely gets into stuff in-depth
- He's a little freaked out about having a jellyfish tattoo - as someone who wasn't entirely sure if he wants to stick with his patron, having a permanent mark of her on his body at all times is a bit of a scary predicament for him, though he won't admit it if he can help it!!
- Really likes blueberries - blueberry muffins, pies, you name it!!!!
- Was homeschooled up until high school, upon which he was dropped in the middle of the general population (not somewhere he particularly enjoyed, but the company and constantly being around others was nice - was lowkey bullied for his name, he usually insists people use "Remy" instead of Remora)
