            <img src="/static/img/prom/BlessFREY_logo.png" alt="(link: BLESSFREY" class="logo">
            <a href="#demo">demo</a> • <a href="#controls">controls</a> • <a href="#system">system</a> • <a href="#story">story</a> • <a href="#characters">characters</a> • <a href="#info">info</a><br>
            <br>
            <p>No-legs the Cat is just a demonstration that I can export and embed games here at all. Soon, I'll have real release demos for Blessfrey! <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Blessfrey is a 2D dungeoncrawling action rpg for PC developed by me (chimchooree) in Godot Engine inspired by Guild Wars 1 and Magic: The Gathering. I'll share any release demos on this page. <br></p>
        <div class="system" id="system">
            <div class="center"><h2>system</h2>
            <p>Blessfrey is a 2D action rpg with a dual-job system which will determine the skill pool from which you will build your skillbar. Your AI companions will have skillbars of their own to edit, so think in terms of teams in order to defeat bosses and solve puzzles. Barely any class progression decisions are permanent, so you can experiment and express your playstyle. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>jobs </h2>
            <p>Blessfrey jobs are equivalent to RPG classes. Your first job is a permanent decision which you will make early in gameplay. You will be able to unlock the rest and more during gameplay as side gigs. You can only have one side gig at a time, but you can always swap it outside of combat areas. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Each job has its own skill pool. Each skill is assigned to a job trait (similar to an RPG attribute). Each character has a set number of trait points they can use to raise job traits and the effectiveness of their associated skills. You gain more trait points through leveling up, but traits can be raised or lowered at will. Experiment to find your specialization! <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Your first job offers an exclusive trait called a job perk. It is not only tied to the effectiveness of related skills but also provides a constant buff. You can use the skills of your side gig's perk-related skills, but you cannot raise their effectiveness nor gain the buff. Perks are what distinguish characters from each other. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>skills</h2>
            <p>Skills are individual powers that modify entities in the world of Blessfrey. They can launch fireballs, protect against incoming damage, spawn items or minions, teleport characters, reveal more UI details, and more. Your skillbar only has 8 skill slots and can only be edited in safe areas. The challenge comes from discovering effective strategies and synergies. Many of the same skills will be available to the player and enemy characters alike, so you must learn how to both use and counter each skill. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Skills are inspired by Magic: The Gathering keywords. There are a limited number of keywords that are quick to learn, but I will combine them with interesting conditions to create a wide arsenal of options. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Skills are gained during exploration. As you find new areas, encounter enemies, and interact with your surroundings, you will internalize those experiences as new skills. There are multiple paths to learning, so you are free to focus on your favorite parts of the game. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>team</h2>
            <p>You will meet new friends and allies in the world, and they will join your team as customizable AI companions. Edit their skillbars to complement yours and keep their gear up-to-date. They will remember your responses and actions, so stay attentive to the flow of your relationship. There may be consequences - sweet or treacherous. <br></p></div>

            <div class="center"><h2>story</h2>
            <p>You play as Helia, a foreign transfer student living with her estranged uncle in a rural southern American town. You'll find an inexplicable amount of amenities, but none of them hold a candle to the haunted dungeon beneath the city. It's off-limits, but a dare's a dare. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>There's a whole other world down there with multiple fantastical races. Once you've been down there once, it's hard to avoid getting tangled in its mysteries. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>The town is strange in its own right. Lucrest flourished under it's remarkably young mayor and became an economic oasis in an expanse of farmlands and mining communities, drawing people from out-of-state to enjoy its attractions. Mayor Dia claims to have a magic wand that controls economy, and people aren't inclined to disagree. <br></p></div>

            <p><b><a href="/char/Helia">Helia</a></b> (?/?) - The player character! Almost every job is available to her. Where she comes from, combat training is unheard of, so she's a blank slate. Her reasons for suddenly moving countries by herself at the end of a schoolyear are filled with holes, so rumors spread ahead of her arrival. Barely anyone moves to Lucrest, though, so most people are excited to meet the new girl. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Angel">Angel</a></b> (Weaponmaster/Hacker) - Her real name's Miriam, but it sounds too frumpy, so please call her Angel. She is a naturally gifted with heavy blades and participates in a competitive swordsman league, but she usually comes across as friendly if not a little absent-minded. Computers interest her deeply, so she always has tinkering away with some new gadget or software. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Tessa">Tessa</a></b> (Tamer/Streetfighter) - She actually has a foreign background, too. Her mom and late father moved with her from France when she was really little. She loves the outdoors, animals, and fashion and is always sticking her nose in everyone's business. She's all fun all the time, so she doesn't always know where the boundary is between playful teasing and outright bullying. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Chloe">Chloe</a></b> (Disciple/Weaponmaster) - She's an orphan girl who was taken in by the church, and she spends a lot of her time serving there. She's reticent and deeply introverted but very sweet to those who get to know her. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Aries">Aries</a></b> (Weaponsmaster/Tamer) - Angel's twin brother, though he's her opposite in many ways. He's more attentive, but his frankness and disregard for etiquette makes him seem boorish. He also takes things with more gravity, fully committing himself to his studies and training. He prefers light weapons, light armor, and practical survival skills. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Night">Night</a></b> (Chemist/Weaponsmaster) - Despite not being much older than the other teens, he's completed a few years of apprenticeships at the leading research hospitals in the capital. The deterioration and death of his grandparents forced his return to close the final paperwork and figure out how to support his baby brother in the meantime. He runs a local pharmacy for now. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Rune">Rune</a></b> (?/?) - A startlingly tall and listless horned boy discovered in the local dungeon, surrounded by dinosaurs and other abyssal beasts. He doesn't trust people from the surface at first. <br></p></div>

            <p>Blessfrey is a singleplayer action RPG game that will be playable in at least Windows, Linux, and HTML5. I'm going to sell it on Steam and wherever else lets me list it. It's being developed by me (chimchooree) in Godot Engine with original writing and art, though I'll need help with music and SFX eventually. My husband also helps sometimes, especially with writing plug-ins for the engine.♡ The full credits are available on the <a href="/credits">credits page</a>.<br></p>
            <br>
            <h2>timeline</h2>
            <p>Legless the Cat is the first demo. It has nothing to do with the game, but it's an important exercise for exporting and embedding an HTML5 game. I'd hate to make a sophisticated game over multiple years and be too inexperienced to actually share it with anyone. It also lets my kitty be in his own videogame! So cute. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>As for the first real demo, I am currently creating a vertical slice of the game, focusing on a robust presentation of the skill system. This demo will be more of a tech demo than a game. It will feature 3 demo areas, and you will receive a bingo card directing you to try a smattering of what the full game will have to offer. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>The next demo will demonstrate the game's faction system and AI, presenting more as a cutscene with unpredictable outcomes. A couple of different AI groups will wander around a map, intersect, then attack or aid according to affiliation. The faction system is rather complex, so I need to isolate it for testing purposes. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>I think at this point, I will be able to put out a real demo. Demo #3 is going to be a level from the full game, introducing Rune and his multiphase boss fight. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>If I can do that, I'll definitely be ready to make chunks of the game until the entire thing is complete. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>No hard timeline on this, though! I've been working for years and finally am about ready to have something to show for it. Gamedev has been a deep learning experience, and I'm looking forward to sharing my results with you. <br></p></div>

 ASURAN SCAN
 Similar to Life Siphon, the result will be one Asuran Scan on the target, but all characters who used Asuran Scan will gain the positive benefits. In other words, yes, you are safe to run Asuran Scan on two or more characters in a party. -- WarBlade 17:56, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 The new update says that your attacks cannot miss the target. This counteracts the effects of Blinding, apparently, as I blinded myself and still landed every hit on the target while he had Asuran Scan on him. Pretty nice effect for a melee character to have, I think.~ A R A ~ 04:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
    Meh. There are so many other better skills at this point. Plus in pve if you don't have someone with a quick condition removal ability that can be used often, you're usually doing it wrong. And not that many monsters block in pve, so...

 	<p>An effect in Guild Wars. Blessfrey is inspired by Guild Wars's ruleset, but it doesn't have its own version of Death Penalty. <br></p>
    <br>
 <h2>what is death penalty? </h2>
    <p>Upon death, a character gets this effect applied, decreasing his maximum health and energy, Each death adds a 15% reduction for a max of 60% less max health and energy. You can lose DP by gaining XP, gaining Morale Boosts (either by killing Bosses or using MB consumables) (...also 10% MB is max), and using DP-reducing consumables. 75xp removes 1% DP, and that includes VQ and quest rewards. In Hard Mode, rez shrines won't rez anymore if everyone in your party has max DP, forcing you to return to outpost. </p>
 <br>
    <p>Pets don't suffer DP. Pre- deaths don't give DP. Vengeance, Death Pact Signet, etc doesn't give DP. Deaths during in-town holidays don't give DP.</p>
    <br>
    <p>DP is reset when zoning to an outpost, resigning, and between PvP matches. </p>
    <br>
 <h2>why is that in Guild Wars? </h2>
    <p>IDEK, just spitballing these. I haven't even played in years, so the details may be way off. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h3>pros of DP, penalizing death, rewarding zero-deaths-playthroughs in general</h3>
    <p>ANet obv added DP to penalize dying. <br></p>
    <p>In PvP, this makes a whole lot more sense to me than PvE. Penalizing losers and creating imbalanced gameplay is just part of PvP. DP evaporates off anyway. IDK if I even ever really noticed DP in it. I played bomber in JQ, so I even used that mechanic to my advantage in that competitive format. </p>
    <br>
    <p>IDK, it usually just brutalized me for no clear reason in singleplayer PvE. I did actually use it to my advantage as a BiP. So it's just another mechanic to play with in the metagame. But anyway. </p>
    <br>
    <p>DP adds a tonal difference between areas and missions with rez shrines, without rez shrines, and with rez shrines that will refuse to rez you. Normal areas (like Snake Dance) may be challenging, but you can party wipe hundreds of times without zoning and keep your nose on the grindstone until you finally reach Droknar's. If you party wipe even once in a mission or in Foundry, you have to go back to outpost. Then Hard Mode makes anywhere, even Plains of Jarin, more serious - you hit 60% DP on everybody and you go back to outpost. There are areas you can goof off in indefinitely, and then there are areas you can "lose" in. Some areas, you can brute force. Some, you have to plan a strategy and keep an eye on your party members' DP. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Since dying teleports you to rez shrines, death can become a form of travel. I thiink you can cheese some of the ciper quests by intentionally wiping to a mob by town then getting rezzed at a shrine right at the destination. We also had people die, then I'd Necrotic Traversal past a wall and teleport-rez people past the wall in Urgoz or something. I don't think death-as-fast-travel was ever a game-breaking issue, but DP would sure keep people from fast-traveling around UW that way or whatever, if they ever started putting rez shrines down there. </p>

    <p>It makes it harder to brute force through everything. If your build doesn't work on the first few mobs, you have to go restrategize. At least, ideally. IDK. I definitely kept brute forcing at 60% a number of times. If it was implemented as a deterrant like Witcher "YOU ARE CARRYING TOO MUCH WEIGHT" or Torchlight "I AM OVERENCUMBERED" or any of the games that turn the screen bright flashing red, you can't punish people haha. They are going to keep picking up every useless trash, move at 40% speed, and squink into the flashing bright red screen while the character yells at them. </p>

    <p>GW is an online game, so it's more meaningful IMO for an MMO guy to have Survivor than my lost singleplayer save on some harddrive. Now that we have Steam achievements and stuff, maybe that's less true of singleplayer games. (Are Survivor achievements common on Steam and PSN and stuff anyway?) The titles were lots of fun, but Guild Wars's HoM was the coolest achievement-thing probably anyway. </p>
    <br>
    <h3>cons</h3>
    <p>It's annoying. Getting to 60% is brutally unfair. Every other MMO breaks all your expensive armor and unlevels you, so I'm being a baby. It was even kinda mindnumbingly fun to crawl, mob by mob, though EotN dungeons as a lvl 20 with 100HP tbh. But I just can't picture punishing a man like that. I don't know if death is penalized in any other singleplayer game where death isn't a game over. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Hades, Two Worlds...The Cat Lady? etc. </p>
    <br>
    <p>Since cap DP makes the game impossible in an unfun way, you obv have to pop your candy canes or go back to town. Going back to town breaks up the gameplay. Anything that takes you out, erases all your progress, and makes you start again is usually bad. Death loop games have this flow, I think. You jump up, ready to try again. The restart area is even kinda comfy or fun in some way. Guild Wars beats you down and makes you feel defeated lol. </p>
    <br>
    <h2>why is nothing like it in Blessfrey? </h2>
    <p>I just don't like it. I don't think there's anything like it in the death loop singleplayer game genre anyway. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's not going in for now. <br></p>

    <p>Items are objects that may be picked up, purchased, used, equipped, dropped, or sold. They include currency, quest items, equipment, consumables, readables, upgrades, keys, and trinkets. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h2>four representations </h2>
    <p>An item changes its form depending on its context. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p><a href="/blessfrey-gdd/base-item">Base items</a> are the purest form of an item, maintaining its continuity and containing its essential data. Other items hold the base item as a child or generates one if one doesn't already exist. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p><a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">Floor items</a> are the representation of an item that spawns in the environment, drops from opponents, and can be picked up. They are technically tangible entities. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Inventory items appear in the inventory window. They are technically control nodes. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Merchandise appears in store windows. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h2>move to pick up item </h2>
    <p>Items can only be picked up by the player. They can be picked up via item targeting or through selecting 'pick up' on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Item pickup is triggered when a <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> is targeted, that is, a <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/controls">'target' (left-click)</a> triggers a $Item/Body/Sprite/Sprite.gd/_on_input_event. If 'no_move_to_target' (shift) is held while targeting, the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> will be targeted without initiating pickup. Otherwise, floor_item.gd/target_event(viewport,event,shape_idx) is called to set the target and handle the input before prompting the player to consider pickup. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Item pickup is also an option on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor items</a>' <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. Choosing it triggers that <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>'s id_pressed(id), which calls the associated method from its inspect_options dictionary: floor_item.gd/move_player_then_pickup(), prompting the player to consider pickup. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Character.gd/consider_pickup(item) passes to UserControl/pickup(item). The next branch depends on a distance check. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>If the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> is within the player's <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/proxemics">intimate distance</a>, the character will be prompted to pick up the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Otherwise, <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/pathfinding">pathfinding</a> begins towards the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>. Upon arrival, it calls floor_item.pick_up().pick_up(). The <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>'s pick_up removes itself from the room and returns the base item, then the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory">inventory system</a> takes care of the rest. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h2>drop item </h2>
    <p>Items can be dropped from the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory">inventory</a> app when the player selects 'drop' on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Choosing 'drop' triggers that <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory-item">inventory item</a>'s id_pressed(id), which calls the associated method from its inspect_options dictionary: inventory_item.gd/drop. It, in turn, calls the drop method off its <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/base-item">base item</a>.<br></p>
    <br>
    <p>The <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/base-item">base item</a>'s drop() emits the 'dropped' signal, which triggers the inventory item to queue_free then the inventory app to be refreshed. (connected @ InvContainer.gd/make_inventory_items(base_item).

There are six standard jobs available to the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/player">player</a>, but more can be discovered during gameplay. </p>
    <p>The basic jobs are... </p>
    <ul>
        <li>Armsman </li>
        <li>Brawler </li>
        <li>Chemist </li>
        <li>Disciple </li>
        <li>Hacker </li>
        <li>Tamer </li>
    </ul>
    <p>Another common job is Idle, an empty placeholder job. As a gig, it only shows the character's job. When a character has this job, no gig can be taken and no job or gig information will be shown. This is the only job a character can double up on. New players start out Idle/Idle, choose their first job like Brawler/Idle. After more gigs are learned, they can switch their gig to Idle to emphasize their dedication to solo-classing their job. Blessfrey takes after Guild Wars in a lot of ways, and solo-classing was always something people kinda wanted. Without it, we resorted to picking joke or confusion-inducing secondary professions, or we tried to spell out words like "Mo/P," "E/Mo," etc.</p>
 <h2>multiclassing</h2>
    <p>A character can have a job and a side gig. All associated skills and attributes will be available to the character from both jobs. The character can mix playstyles to define his own multiclass. An Armsman/Disciple can be played like a paladin or cleric, a Hacker/Brawler can be played like a spy or assassin, and a Chemist/Tamer can poison his arrows using field medicine. </p>
    <p>Perks are a special attribute. A class's perk is only available when it is selected as the job. It bestows a constant boon on the character, which increases in power as the perk is increased. Although a character cannot increase a gig's perk's value or gain its boon, he will have access to all the perk's associated skills, albeit at the lowest effectiveness. </p>
 <h2>structure</h2>
    <p>A character has a $Jobs node that contains all jobs as children. Information about its job, gig, and perk and attribute values are stored in this scene. </p>
    <p>The Jobs node has exported String variables first_job and first_gig for startup. Later, the jobs should be loaded from a save file, etc. </p>

    <br>
    <p>Game mechanics are the rules of the world. <br></p>
    <br>
 <h2>character creation</h2>
    <p>Players control Helia and develop her character through making decisions. During her first day of school in Lucrest, you will fill out a personal questionnaire and try out the common jobs before choosing one permanently. She will also receive her starter skills and her choice of starter gear and weapon. <br>
    <br>
 <h2>job, side job + skills</h2>
    <p>Her job determines the perk, attributes, and skills available for her. Skills will scale in power according to the amount of attributes assigned to the relevant attribute. She can also take a side job, which will offer more attributes and skills for defining your playstyle. Side jobs are optional and can be changed outside of combat, but they do not offer perks, nor can their perk-related skills be improved. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>All acquired skills will be stored in the character's skill library, but only 8 can be equipped onto the skillbar at a time. You must choose carefully and adapt challenge-by-challenge.  <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>To gain more skills and side job offers, you explore the world, gain combat experience, meet characters, and more. She'll encounter <a href="/char/WISE">a certain system</a> that will guide her to greater development early in the dungeon. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>You'll not only develop Helia but a team of friends you meet in town and below, all with jobs, side jobs, and skills for building a viable team. <br></p>
    <br>
 <h2>playstyle</h2>
    <p>Blessfrey emphasizes frequent and free adaptation of playstyle. Except for your job, decisions are not permanent. You can change your side job, reallocate attribute points freely, and swap out skills outside of combat. You can do the same for your teammates' builds, and call them in and out of your team freely outside of combat. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Enemies and allies have access to many of the same jobs and skills, so while you learn the offensive advantage of your skills, you will also have to learn to defend against them. You can learn new skills through combat experience, copying techniques. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Death is not a final failure. Characters can resurrect each other. If the entire team dies, they will be revived at the nearest bed of resurrection lillies, able to retry. <br></p>

    <p>If an entity decides to pick up a floor item, UserControl.gd/pickup(floor_item) checks the range. If too far away, it will trigger MoveToDestination.gd/pickup_setup(floor_item). <br></p>

    <br>
    <p>path_to_point calls cancel on the player and path_to_object(goal_target). Mobile.gd/path_to_object(goal_target) sets the floor item as the next then reassesses the path with each call. If there is no current_dot, dots are set between the user and the goal_target and the method ends. Otherwise, the last_dot is either the last dot or the current_dot. If the goal hasn't moved, the method ends. If the goal is further, the path is wholly or partially recalculated. If the goal is nearer, the path is recalculated between the last_dot and the goal. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>choose_velocity() sets the entity's body's internal velocity to current_dot - current_pos. mobileBody.gd/_process(delta) sets its physics_body_node's move_and_collide to velocity (judged from internal velocity) * speed * delta * <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/achievements">KnowledgeBase</a>.logic_time, publishing "moved" and the entity to the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/achievements">MessageBus</a>. <br></p>

    <p>MoveToDestination.gd/_on_item_arrived(floor_item) calls arrived to disconnect signals, set track to false, and clear the entity's movement. Then it calls item.pick_up().pick_up(). <br></p>

    <p>Generally, proxemics refers to the study of the relationship between social beings and physical distance. 
 Since spatial distance in Blessfrey (and all games) varies wildly due to distortion of physical proportions and angles, I am addressing the mechanical distance, i.e. the reach of a weapon, the distance from which an item can be picked up, and earshot. Relative distances are modeled after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxemics">Edward T. Hall's interpersonal distances of man</a>: public, social, personal, and intimate distance. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>I like the implication of a generalized "personal bubble" instead of the solely combat-oriented "aggro bubble" of other RPGs. It's so unfortunate that the pandemic was everyone's introduction to proxemics. I don't really wanna change it, but I kinda cringe when I hear "social distance" now. Whatever, I guess. <br></p>

 I think all european have an underworld people. In Spain we know them be different names, Anjanas, Mouros (from the death, tought they end mixed with the moors), Xanas, Gentiles... The Godess Mary from the Basque reigned underground, in different Caves like Amboto you could contact her.
 Agartha, Shambalah etc... 
 A name you don't hear very often when people talk about notorious nazis, a nobel prize winner in physics, Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard.
 Almost all of his writings are about the aether.
 He was the top adviser of physics in the Reich.
 Some fictional stories are true accounts of actual events, but who can say?
 Some people think the Bible is a correct historical account of events.
 Vril, the Power of the Coming Race is much more plausible imo.
 Other books like journey to the center of the earth or 20,000 leagues under the sea are written like adventure novels, but Vril is written like a technical document or formal briefing. 
 It's fairly well-documented from different sides and through hundreds of years with various incidents like that on Bornholm. There's also alot of myths about the elves etc, which are supposed to live in hill mounts. They still freak out in our government if people dig into the "burial" mounds around here, so there might be something going on there. You just find it on occasion. Personally I find the ice world theory much more interesting than the hollow earth, but it could be both you know. ;-)

 <p>Both of Cass's (pronounced the same as "case") parents are originally from Mexico. She's fluent in Spanish and used to visit Mexico every year with her family before going to college, but her accent is indistinguishably American. She's on scholarship but not particularly driven in any area, so she took a business major upon recommendation by a friend of her mother. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Her headstrong, sardonic attitude gives her a harsh edge that contrasts with the shower of feminine pastels and vibrant florals that dominate her wardrobe and bedroom. Her nightmares have always been just as vibrant, pushing violent imagery, psychotic villains, and natural disasters onto her nightly since she was a preteen. Many of them seemed real, taking place in her bedroom with realistic break-ins. She could feel needles, hornet stings, and worse the same as she could feel her fingertips pinching herself during the day. There were reoccurring figures whose faces and bodies she had grown so loathsomely familiar with, she mockingly named: Owen, Caleb, Isaac... <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>And finally, one night, soon after moving into her first apartment, she met Caleb in the waking world. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Before long, her apartment was a circus of haunts - incubi and things she had never heard of before. This attracts the attention of a full 500-pound baku (a spirit-eater that is visually indistinct from a regular tapir) and inspires him to take up permanent residence in her bedroom. Her landlord maintains a strict pet weight limit of around 10 pounds, so this stresses her out to no end, at least until he brings her the sweetest dreams she's had since she was in 5th grade. The haunts still rear their ugly heads now and then, but it's usually just her and Funwa, a cute but nosy baku. <br></p>

 <p>I wrote Dymn as an edgy 13-year-old. It basically takes place in Morytania because RuneScape dominated too much of my imagination then. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Ember Lane Crowe (real name on her birth certificate) is the main character, but the story is told from Brandyn's perspective as he observes her from afar. He unravels her persona step by step, but he never tries to directly interact with her until it's too late. (My early work really suffers from disassociated Kafkaesque character relationships lol.) <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Brandyn Harlowe, like <a href="/char/Newcomer">Will</a>, doesn't have much substance beyond his interest in the main girl. Crowe is a misanthropic werewolf who frequently hides in caves and rants about living in a society. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p><a href="/char/Window">Window Harpen</a> is a journalist who arrived in the town of Dymn to investigate local rumors of werewolves. He's able to build a rapport with Crowe. She confides that she just wants to be normal, so he forwards her to swamp druids renown for their remarkable ability to remove disease. He also discourages Brandyn from hanging around any longer. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>They lead her on an suspicious wild goose hunt, but it becomes obvious at the final moment their instructions were malicious. She pauses on her choice between life or death for a final soliloquy. As Brandyn finds her and lunges to stop her, she takes her own life, catching his face in her final moments of awareness, wondering who he is. He mourned her briefly before racing to confront Window over his complicity only to find he had already left town. <br></p>

 <p>She has been steeped in music her whole life, with her brother reliably bringing home records of new bands and emerging genres. It wasn't long before her and some neighborhood friends started their own band. Her unique singing voice like the chirping of songbirds or the ping of a harp captured a lot of attention. Her candid lyrics captured what people felt but couldn't say. She quickly outshone her fellow members, a vocalist stolen from band to band, getting to travel all over the country. After a decade, she began to lose her footing with younger audiences, though she still has a very dedicated older fan base. She's content with this shift because it affords her more time at home to raise her baby. <br></p>

Her style is distinct, consisting of ballet pinks, blues, and creamy whites, with soft piled textures covering highly structured garments. She has with no hesitation in wearing ostentatious furs and shoulder pads. Her makeup is wild, covering her entire eye socket and tops of her cheekbone in baby blue, applies long thin straight falsies, using shocking white lipstick, using contour gray as a blush color. Usually, she'll wear concealer lips and only overdo one feature, but she feels no qualms about going all out. <br></p>

 <h2>story </h2>
    <p>Freefall was taken from his happy family as a toddler and raised outside time along with other representatives of each generation. They were each given supernatural abilities and set against each other in a cosmic game where the last man is given kingship over mankind. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Freefall is naturally awkward and antisocial, so he was never taken seriously as an opponent, target, or ally by the others. After some time, he ducked out entirely and returned to earth, finding it a hundred years advanced when he had only aged 10 years himself. He can't find a foothold in this society, so he roams city streets and observes from the outside. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>That is, until a fateful encounter with a girl who not only clicks with him but seems to bear some family resemblance. At first, he's overwhelmed by this thumbprint of his past. Trace has some common ground beyond blood, too, so they hit it off. As time goes on, he sees too much of himself in her and grows to hate her, haunting her as a depressive shadow. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Meanwhile, the cosmic game is nearing its conclusion, so the final combatants realize the need to take him out before he comes back with a surprise attack. Hiding is no longer an option. Trace takes charge of the situation, and they learn to work together. <br></p>

 <h2>description </h2>
    <p>Freefall is a small, emasciated boy, though his health never fails. His hair is touched with gray, his eyes are deathly yellow and piercing, and his skin is translucent. His clothing is shoddily stitched together from found textiles, and he has no real ties to any objects or places. <br></p>

 She's an honest and direct person who won't betray her core values of loyalty, submission towards authority, and denial of the flesh. Her Spartan lifestyle borders on asceticism. She lives off the land. Though her body is shaped by extreme discipline, she isn't necessarily the wisest person. She's always falling into the "work harder, not smarter" fallacy, leading to some pretty comical blunt-force solutions for her jobs. <br>

 Her quiet femininity contrasts with her titanic arms and powerful thighs. (I maxxed out the arm muscularity and arm thickness sliders.) Perplexingly, she's retained an hourglass figure, which she attributes to a life of wearing belts. She always presents herself with excellence, wearing a meticulously perfected coral monochromatic face of makeup to set off her pale eyes, deep auburn hair, and glassy skin. Through experience, it wears gracefully even through sweat and heat. Her wardrobe is purely functional, consisting entirely of training and ceremonial uniforms, especially those that pair well with belts and scarves. Her favorite colors to wear are orange and jade. <br>
