-    <li>birthday: May 24♊︎ </li>
-    <li>mental: light-hearted, clever </li>
-    <li>physical: tall, chubby, dove gray hair, purple eyes </li>
-    <li>style: fine furs, fine charmeuse, fine chains of precious metal </li> 
-    <li>height: 12'4 tall / 9'5 wingspan / 6' (human) </li>
-    <li>residence: The Dancing Butterfly Inn in Blacksand Annex, Ashfall Waste </li>
-    <li>likes: music 24/7, devil's advocate, playing dumb, luxury and creature comforts </li>
-    <li>dislikes: being forced to work during a mental block, an overly serious tone, questions about his mask </li> 
-    <li>notes: never without his mask </li>
-</ul><br>
-<br>
-<h2>story </h2>
-<p>Abbey is Lise's favorite traveling bard, so she keeps him perpetually on the Butterfly's Dance payroll. He's a master of the lyre, flute, and bells, though he has a wide arsenal of string and brass proficiencies to supply his evening performances, which span from ballads of the First Age to reenactments of the Night of the Nocturne to flambebe limericks. He never removes his mask. He even sleeps in it. He plays it off like a quirk, but he has never been seen without it. That fact plus his distance from his homeland spur light rumors, but they can only be taken as seriously as people view him. <br></p>
-<br>
-<p>Surprisingly, most of his acts are performed off the cuff, and, in lieu of serious preparation, he spends much of his day napping, snacking while reading, or improvising music. He stays well-versed in current events and pop culture, so he identifies guests of renown at once and loves to listen and learn what they have to say. In general, though, he's always up for a literary discussion or political debate, so don't be afraid to disturb him when he's nose-deep in tomes. <br></p>
-<br>
-<h2>description </h2>
-<p>He's a chubby dove gray dragon with an incredibly thick coat that only grows thicker during winter months. Most of his body is covered in platinum-colored fur that lightens as it reaches his tail and legs. A skink-like striped pattern runs from the sides of his neck, all the way down his tail. His fins, which extend like horns from behind his ears and his feet are dark. His wings, mane, and tuft at the end of his tail are smokey gray and flecked with black like hawk feathers. His face is always covered in a white mask, his eyes outlined in red. He loves to adorn himself in chains from fine metal, feathers, and fur. <br></p>

-<h2>story </h2>
-<p>He's an evil genius, with a startling IQ and repertoire of spells, which he has mastered through decades of playing with magic. Evil is a deep part of who he is, and it marks every part of his life, from taking evil showers in the morning to taking evil slumber at night. He was meant to be a Saturday morning cartoon villain, but his wife <a href="/char/Fifi">Fifi</a> and newborn son softened his heart. He still pursues evil, but it's a gentler form. He works with one of the more stable criminal organizations in town. His wife Fifi is fully supportive, and her fame as a celebrity has been instrumental in pulling off some of his jobs, especially earlier on in his career when he was less fettered. His wife makes enough money off of brand deals for them both to retire, but evil is a passion job for him. <br></p>
-<br>
-<h2>description </h2>
-<p>He has unique features to say the least, with a squared forehead, complete lack of eyebrows, sloping orbital bones, pronounced nostrils. He usually wears his black hair shaved, but sometimes he grows it out long on the top. He wears glasses but usually leaves them at home. Dramatic changes and costumes are part of his lifestyle at this point, so his family doesn't even comment anymore. <br></p>

Their culture interacts with a deceptive, wise snake-people race who live exclusively near the garden who speaks a different, hissing language. They believe above the crust exists a sea/firmament. The only surviving speakers are hologram VIs guides who answer simple questions in natural language using their database, and most act as receptionists or tour guides. Most surviving writings are signs, bardic songs and poetry, magical runic inscriptions, and words written on scroll-like robes. They do not have judicial, bureaucratic, medical records.

+<p>Highly advanced, wise, and insular serpent-people who rarely stray from their metropolitan area that surrounds the garden in the earth's interior. <br></p>
+<br>
+<h2>language </h2>
+<p>Serpents have a high and a low language. Its cultural neighbors speak the early Semitic, proto-Sanskrit, and proto-indigenous-Brazilian languages of the giants and the sing-song syllabic fairy language. The written languages are used in scrolls and codices made from parchments and vellums of skin. <br><p>
+<br>
+<h2>concepts </h2>
+<h3>misc nouns </h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>wise </li>
+    <li>unwise </li>
+    <li>immortal - describes the superior species that are impervious to death, disease, or poverty </li>
+    <li>mortal - describes the short-lived species that cannot appreciate the history that led to their life nor the long-term impact of their actions. They do not truly die but seem to linger as ghosts before eventual reincarnation. This, they also never grasp, but a serpent can clearly see their core retained through waves and gradual changes. </li>
+    <li>storm - the power to control life </li>
+    <li>moon -  </li>
+    <li>perfume - the floral and fruit accords that permeate every interior and exterior within the serpent city and central garden </li>
+    <li>mist - lifts from the ground, supports lush, seasonless vegetation year-round </li>
+    <li>river </li>
+    <li>garden </li>
+    <li>river split - place where water feature splits into two or more </li>
+    <li>river mouth </li>
+    <li>orb </li>
+    <li>wave, generation - serpents live in stability, while the world and other species around them die, are reborn, and change. They passively observe the ins and outs of the waves of life outside the city. (They are aware of tidal phases of the ocean through legend. Some have observed it first-hand. They vastly prefer their cushy city life to going out among humans, though.) </li>
+    <li>god-killing - literally "eclipse of the sun". Gods cannot die, but they do act beyond comprehension. There is some great plan unfolding in the death of the earth-god. </li>
+    <li>ghost - the giants linger between waves </li>
+    <li>Sun - a gentle star-god within the center of the earth. Provides a mild climate yearround.</li>
+    <li>Earth - the intersection of the spiritual and material realms. Serpents can pass between them with ease. </li>
+    <li>dust, gruel, inedible food - dust is fed to prisoners </li>
+    <li>tree - provider of all spiritual things </li>
+    <li>bdellium - common somewhere </li>
+    <li>onyx - common somewhere </li>
+    <li>light - wisdom, knowledge </li>
+    <li>dark - folly </li>
+    <li>serpent amulet of light - serpents wear an amulet that illuminates the area around them in daylight. It's not a practical item but a beauty-enhancing item that makes the wearer appear more wise. </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>animal</h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>animal -  </li>
+    <li>bat -  </li>
+    <li>bear -  </li>

+    <li>snake - sacred animal </li>
+    <li>spider -  </li>
+    <li>styracosaurus -  </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>color</h3>
+<p>Serpents have eyes but are entirely blind to visual light. Objects and the environment is illuminated through wisdom, and they can see the inner qualities more clearly than the facades and the spiritual actors equally well as the fleshly actors. <br></p>
+<br>
+<h3>figures/species</h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>earth-god - he has several names, literally "dead god," "shifting god," "earth god," "renewal god," and "storm-bringer;" he is an underdog god who gained or stole respect over all others to become the ruler of the entire earth; he controls the storm; he has been dead for a long time </li>
+    <li>divine hero - </li>
+    <li>high-god -  he has several names, literally "vast waters god," "deep god," "destroyer god," "storm-rider;" the god beyond the vast waters; he will launch the final storm, best the earth-god in battle, and destroy the earth </li>
+    <li>serpent-king - </li>
+    <li>serpents - (species) literally "two-tongues;" charismatic but deceptive immortal serpent-people who live in the opulent city in the hollow earth that surrounds the central garden </li>
+    <li>spider goddess - virgin goddess</li>
+</ul>
+<h3>jobs (RPG classes)</h3>
+People are born job-less but arguably with a propensity towards a particular job. They can train towards mastery of a job, but giant jobs are so complex and slow to learn that it is exceptionally rare to have more than one or to change jobs. They usually deviate dramatically from their parents, learning through apprenticeships and self-learning. It's more likely for a giant to travel to a foreign land in pursuit of a trade than it is for a giant to study his father's trade under his father. <br>
+<br>
+<ul>
+    <li>he holds the flow of rivers - conceptually, everything that moves, progresses, or changes is considered to be flowing. The world itself is a bubble adrift in vast waters. Those with the job have the  </li>
+    <li> - looks the same as white- to humans but differently hued to giants </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>locations</h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>central garden - the interior of the hollow earth; houses the lost garden, the serpent city, and  </li>
+    <li>crust - </li>
+    <li>firmament, sea, vast waters - the outer watery shell of the world; giants only know shallow and gentle mists and brooks, but the world is a bubble in a vast outer world of water </li>
+    <li>hall of monuments - </li>
+    <li>interior - </li>
+    <li>serpent city - </li>
+    <li>surface </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>minerals/rocks</h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>asbestos - fibrous mineral, spun into yarn and woven into cloth. Blessfrey's giants are usually referring to chrysotile (white asbestos), but they sometimes trade for other types (brown, blue, etc) with distant giantic cultures </li>
+    <li>gold - common mineral, appreciated for its lustrous beauty and ability to be extruded into yarns </li>  
+    <li>crystal -  </li>
+    <li>gemstone -  </li>
+    <li>stone, building material - large </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>verbs</h3>
+<ul>
+    <li>shine - to emit light, to share wisdom </li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<br>
+<p>foreign, unencountered concepts: <br>
+<ul>
+    <li>birthdays - as far as they are concerned, they have always existed. Births of other species are unremarkable. </li>
+    <li>sex </li>
+    <li>work - serpents live in bliss and leisure forever. Other species' toil appears like ants building hills and dogs scouting their borders. It's quaint, but they don't think much of it beyond possible spiritual and symbolic meaning. </li>
+</ul></p>

-<h1>blessfrey game design document </h1>
-    <p>Follow this style guide to avoid confusing bugs. Code doesn't always need to
-follow the style guide, but a comment needs to be left by the offending code
-explaining why it's necessary. The guide is not set in stone, and can be
-disputed and altered. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>(many parts written by my husband) <br></p>
-    <br>
-<h2>node paths </h2>
-    <p>Node paths should be treated as though they have private access. Any node
-within a scene can be thought of as within scope of that scene. Nodes higher in
-the tree or inside instanced scenes are out of scope of the current scene.
-However, the root of an instanced scene is within scope, so a path to that is
-safe. Using an "out of scope" node path will result in null pointer exceptions
-at best or confusing bugs at worse if a scene's structure is ever altered. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>Add methods to the root of a scene that does whatever is needed to the nodes
-inside. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>If a property is needed from a node inside a scene, a getter in the
-scene's root can return the value its child node's property. (see Setters and
-Getters) <br></p>
-    <br>
-<ul>
-    <li>don't use node paths to nodes higher than the scene's root </li>
-    <li>don't use node paths into instanced scenes </li>
-    <li>do add methods to the root of a scene that manipulates the inner nodes </li>
-</ul>
-<h2>child nodes </h2>
-    <p>It's fair for a script to depend on a consistent internal tree structure.
-Only scripts inside a scene may alter the structure of its own tree. The tree's
-structre is primarily altered by adding or removing children. Adding or
-removing child nodes higer than the scene's root, or inside instanced scenes,
-will cause inconsistent structure. Without this guideline, each scene would
-need to constantly validate its own structure to be sure it hasn't been altered
-by another script. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>Add methods to the root of a scene that can add or remove children. These
-methods can keep track of which nodes have been added or removed, so the
-script can be aware of any changes to the scene's structure. <br></p>
-    <br>
-<ul>
-    <li>don't add child nodes to nodes higher than the scene's root </li>
-    <li>don't add child nodes to instanced scenes </li>
-    <li>do add methods to the root of a scene for adding or removing children </li>
-</ul>
-<h2>setters + getters </h2>
-    <p>Often, some action always needs to be taken whenever a variable is changed.
-Putting these actions in a setter method for that variable ensure that they're
-always executed. If a setter is not made for a variable, there's some risk
-that it may be changed without those actions being taken, and the source of
-the change may be difficult to track. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>Furthermore, a variable may not exist at all, but be derived from some
-computation. In that case, a getter can create the illusion of a single
-variable. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>One more benifit, is that a setter can be deferred called or connected to a
-signal, since its a method. <br></p>
-    <br>
-    <p>Variables can be changed to use getters and setters seamlessly, since they're
-used no differently from variables that don't have getters and setters. If
-there is a need to take some action whenever a value is set, a setter can be
-added to it seamlessly. <br></p>
-    <br>
-<ul>
-    <li>setters can execute any action when a property is changed </li>
-    <li>setters can be added seamlessly, without changing how the property is set </li>

     <p>It also ties into romance, but the only male romance option is a middle-aged adulterous fedora-tipping cradle-robbing creep who can barely remember your alignment, much less anything else about your personality, so ew. The other half-romance option is the epitome of the bad boy trope, no thanks. Don't know how NWN2 romance is handled and don't want to lol. Generally, I wouldn't mind adding dating to Blessfrey, but I think it's unnatural how it's treated as the climax of a long friendship in most games. I wouldn't be surprised if most dates are made outside of a friend group, especially if you include couples who only hung out a few times before dating. I didn't meet my husband through my friends either. It's also bordering on too serious for teens. The couples in my high school lasted a few weeks tops with rare exceptions. <br></p>

-<p>A lost race of hi-tech horned giants who live in a lush, perfumed garden at earth's core or deep caves in the crust. The garden is inaccessible to all. Their culture interacts with a deceptive, wise snake-people race who live exclusively near the garden who speaks a different, hissing language. They believe above the crust exists a sea/firmament. The only surviving speakers are hologram VIs guides who answer simple questions in natural language using their database, and most act as receptionists or tour guides. Most surviving writings are signs, bardic songs and poetry, magical runic inscriptions, and words written on scroll-like robes. They do not have judicial, bureaucratic, medical records. Everything they need springs from the earth. Sword trees, soda pools, etc. <br></p>
-<br>
-<p>They measure time by pendulum swings (chronos) and by events (kairos). Generally, dates and hours are unimportant to the ancient, undying giants. Their sense of time is more relational and event-driven, saying "before the last storm," "during X's rule," or "in the times of X" <br></p>
-<br>
-<h2>language </h2>
-<p>The main giantic language encountered in Blessfrey is early Semitic. Its cultural neighbors speak the hissing serpent language and the sing-song syllabic fairy language. The written version of early Semitic Giantic only marks consonants and is usually written into stone. <br><p>

-<h3>animal</h3>
-<p>All fauna and flora, living and extinct, endures within the central garden in the earth's interior. They have an important, enduring purpose to serve as illustrative symbols, and there will never be a generation without at least one surviving member of each as long as the earth exists. Some wander out around the serpent city, the rest of the interior, the crust, and rarely even emerge on the surface. These are the original forms of life without any adaptations, so proto polar bears and proto desert rats live happily together in the same temperate central garden biome. <br></p>

-<h3>jobs (RPG classes)</h3>
-People are born job-less but arguably with a propensity towards a particular job. They can train towards mastery of a job, but giant jobs are so complex and slow to learn that it is exceptionally rare to have more than one or to change jobs. They usually deviate dramatically from their parents, learning through apprenticeships and self-learning. It's more likely for a giant to travel to a foreign land in pursuit of a trade than it is for a giant to study his father's trade under his father. <br>
-<br>
