I'm so excited to be back together with all of these good lil guys!!! aaaa!! slaps the 'sign me up' button with both hands!! As for deities, my podium finishers are: - Alma
- Setharis
- Tinelle
(tbqh Alma and Setharis are basically completely tied for #1 for me, so if for Any reason if would benefit You, The GM, to have one over the other in the game, I'm perfectly content with either!) I, for one, am so hyped to get out there and wiggle my fingies at A Whole Bunch Of Stuff I Can't Comprehend!! A couple qs: - If a side or personal goal has a time limit are we made aware of it, or told when it passes, or does it just Never Resolve?
- Similarly wrt items; would they typically be available just for a limited amount of time, or could you go back for something? Special events where something is falling off of a building or w/e notwithstanding, like if I see something in a shop or on a shelf or something is it more grab-it-or-lose-it, or I could probably snag it later? (Is my FOMO showing yet??)

I'm still ruminating over patrons, so I'll hold off on officially signing up until I get that list finalized. But first of all, I have a lore question: How does this setting perceive god-neutral people, who do not worship or revere anyone specific in the pantheon, but acknowledge the supernatural exists? Additionally, what about antitheists, who dislike the idea that there are gods and outwardly reject the practice of revering them? The perception of god-neutral folks is generally neutral back? Essentially when the gods made their big return to the human realm and whatnot, the general sentiment they wanted to convey to the masses was that they weren't there to Force people to like them. The gods expect basic respect and acknowledgement, but they do not expect worship and reverence. They are guides for the humans that want them, and they don't overstep that. In fact believing in other faiths, while not particularly common anymore, isn't something that really nets you ire unless the person giving you shit is already a certified asshole. But people that are squarely anti the gods are a different thing, though. To actively spit on the gods and denounce their help will net you a lot of shit. The gods as a collective have a very positive public perception, and are veryy integrated into society. And their return is generally a good thing that happened to the world. So a lot of folks wouldn't stand for someone that, as they see it, is biting the hand that feeds them. Like, the gods didn't have to come back to help humanity and yet they did. The least that can be done is respecting them. Basically as long as you mind your business and are respectful people are chill.

1) You'll be told what the time limit is when you receive the goal! And you'll get an updated alert if you let the deadline pass you by (along with any potential consequences that may have ) 2) if an item is just chilling on a shelf or something you can def go back for it so long as a different player hasn't picked it up themselves in the interim. (Or if you want a dif player to go get it themselves, it'll be sitting right where you told them it was). generally if you need to bag something Now or Never the flavor will give that kind of impression. as for shop items, small scale gifts and usage items may rotate each night (each npc will explain their shop when you first meet them so you'll get finer details then), but big ticket stuff will stay until it's bought up.

Sign me up! The lore is so tasty and I had so much trouble narrowing it down to only three, and somehow ranking them was even harder
1. Rhea 2. Judith 3. Astorias

hey mom!! i have a couple character building questions! first off i LOVE!!!!! that we get to adopt a feature from our patron. very excited about this. but i am curious β in fiction, are all βcorruptedβ features received after contact with something above human comprehension? (also, i feel like the majority of patron features will count as corruption, so the? vast majority of us will be corrupted?) should we have some sort of corruption event backstory in mind, or like can somebody be born with [insert patron feature] and thatβs part of why they feel so connected to them? i think mb whatβs tripping me up is the patron feature is mentioned as a way to spice up vanilla humans, but mb the spice just Is indeed corruption? help edit whoops i forgot my second question but tbf itβs not v important: how strict is the uniform base? like for example if u wanted to have puffy sleeves instead of long / short, or u wanna embroider smth on there or w/e β like are we dressing up and accessorizing after we get trapped in the school, or mb weβre waking up (to ash and dust) already dressed in our uniform of choice?

You should Not have a backstory for your patron trait. Essentially your patron trait is something you obtain After entering sunrise and is wholly unique to sunrise itself. Its not an established world thing. As for uniform accessorizing is Okay so long as the uniform is still recognizable? So like if you're gonna alter the sleeves don't Also alter the shape of the skirt, for example, because that would start breaking the silhouette a bit too much.

Also because I've seen some confusion, uncertainty, general qs about it: I'm uncertain if the lil synopsis blurb was unclear on it but Sunrise Boarding School is not a voluntary sort of experience. Your characters have been plucked out of their everyday lives and spirited away to this school. They don't remember the how of getting here and they most certainly don't know the why. Everything about this place and its modus operandi will be foreign to them.

Hi! Another random question: what season/time of year is it when the game starts? Purely for flavor reasons lol It's that strange transitory period of summer into autumn. Too hot for the trees to start turning color, but too cold for summer to still feel real.

raises my hand I know it's not time for Proper Character Creation yet but eure has set me off lmao.
Wrt Corruption, because we're sticking with it not being in-world Severe Type, the sense I'm getting is that it should be more aesthetic than useful--i.e. makes u Look Weird but not actually Do Anything Differently?
It sounds like our characters are however they are, vanilla, corrupted, whatever, established lil folks, and Then they out of the blue get whisked off to Sunrise and wake up with or otherwise acquire a Special God Thingy which is new to everyone and not a Usual Thing in-world either, so surprises on a number of fronts for them in the early game lmao.
If that is the case and the God Thingy =/= 'normal' Corruption attribute, then does it break the above guideline on usability, or follow it? 'Cause some God Aspects could be more of an aesthetic thing, but some could also be very functional.

'Cause some God Aspects could be more of an aesthetic thing, but some could also be very functional. Basically the being able to do something differently is going to come from the lil mechanical perks I give yall once the game starts, so I'd rather folks not heap crazy extra somethings differently on top of that. Like so long as you don't roll up trying to say you've acquired some kind of out of pocket ability we are fine. I know some folks have shit like wings and that is 100% okay to co-opt and say "oh yeah my chara can probs use these???" because like wings are a physical attribute I have accounted for. I don't know what else you're considering functional but basically like, as long as you don't try to claim that you're like lifting an actual power from a god we're fine? idk if that makes sense.....

Or "lifted from a god", as you put it. I feel like most of us won't be so egregious but it's prob safer to get examples than to assume.
