CC lore states that this is a permanent mark on the soul that cannot be 'cured' or 'fixed'. However, should that ever be amended, I do think this is headed towards the right steps for such, though not quite there. i do like that it requires OOC consent, because i know people would go around just curing every devil they see on sight the second people put up their FA. the metagaming would go crazy. despite that, this ritual/spell being difficult to do is a good start, however the soul fragments requirement doesn't really make much sense, since soul fragments replenish. i think it'd be more interesting to see parts of the soul blueprint be 'fixed', rather than all of it. CC are required to take a certain amount of mutations from the CC lore page. it'd be a cool idea to perhaps have one mutation removed per ritual/spell done, until maybe only 1 or 2 is left, then it cannot be done anymore.

glad to have something that’s updated and fits the current lore and the current CAs +1

not a necro but frequently get attacked by them. necro battles can be super fun, but it's frustrating when someone comes in, one shots you, then makes you /d20. definitely a +1, will help with people's enjoyment of the server as well as make more sense lore wise and balance wise.

+1 forever

Ezau lit a cigarette in Yu's name, taking in a deep drawl of the smoke as she stared to the sky. She wondered, perhaps, if she should check on Ava to make sure she was faring alright.

Ezau read over the missive with furrowed brows, chewing on the end of her paintbrush from where she sat in Cerulia. "Indentured Servitude is one hell of a fancy way of saying slavery."

hi, also a gay man here. while i do understand this, there are some people who are not wanting to experience that. many use LOTC as an escape from those things they experience IRL,. majority of the time the people who are actually doing the homophobic roleplay are people who oocly feel that way, and just want to hate queer people "for their religion" rather than actually wanting to provide an interesting story.

gonna put in my two cents here as someone who joined back in 2020/2021 when i was a queer teenager trying to figure out my gender and sexuality. i played a character who had a wife and several children, and had had other wives in the past. she was also a vampire. i knew the risks of being that. the story goes is she had a troubled son who had tried to kill his siblings and his mother before, but my character was still trying to help him since she is incredibly motherly at heart. he lures her to some canonist place, i remember it being after pinemaw and on the road to Yong Ping, and they get into an argument. he gets a bunch of the lectors to come down into the place he's trapped her, and exposes her as a vampire. i was prepared for this RP. i thought it was going to be exciting, perhaps she gets to tell the lectors the story of how she was kind of forced into vampirism to save her wife who ended up dying anyways, or perhaps tell the story of her current wife and children and how much she loves being a mother. i thought maybe she'd even get cured, which could be super fun roleplay. all that was thrown down the drain though when someone instantly killed her (powergamed to do it, too) for hearing that she was a woman having a wife. there are so many more interesting ways to have those tensions between characters without racism or homophobia. because of the experience i mentioned, one of my trans characters was so incredibly in the closet that i hid all of his previous MA/FA's in fear of people finding out his old name and him getting killed for that fact, as has happened to my friend who's long quit the server. the real life racism 100000% i am happy to see. several times had i heard people refer to Koyo-Kuni folk as "squinty eyes" or other really offensive terms to asian people IRL. like, straight up hearing people get upset with Koyo over their eye shape rather than the several war crimes they've committed LOL. that's my thoughts for now. i definitely think that this'll help a lot of players get out of their shell more and go explore LOTC further, since many queers i know don't like going out of their circle for the fear of interacting with roleplay that mimics the exact issues they experience irl around their identity. LOTC is meant to be escapist from how stressful the real world can be.

Ezau read over the missive with raised brows, scratching at her scaled chin. She seemed surprised at the missive, yet at the same time, she wasn't-- the church was always known for having a hatred for the oddest of things. Some of the most devoted canonist worshipers she knew were voidal mages, so she wondered what would become of them. "This is a recipe for disaster." She sighed, "Hopefully the chaos is enjoyable."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

10/10 cute lil drawing!!

definitely think that this will be super useful. change might be a bit scary or uncomfortable for the older players, but when i was new i remember being super confused by the soulstone system and taking awhile to understand it, and then when i returned after a 3/4 year break, i also had trouble relearning how it worked. this'll save so many community team members from being drowned in SS tickets haha

The shorter druid had been tending to his chickens outside when he had overheard the Halflings discuss the news of Timothy's passing. He looked back to his birds, brows furrowed in thought as he scattered more seed for them to eat. Timothy had been one to help heal a friend of his and had asked for no payment- something most Shamans never did. A shame, as most Shamans annoyed him- but no, not Tim. As he headed inside, a thin finger reached up to scratch at his freckled cheek while he scoured his cabinet for the best alcohol he had. Once the drink was secured, he'd pop the cap off, heading to the balcony and lifting the drink to the starry sky, "To the toast that never was, and to the bond that never bloomed." With that, he'd down the drink.

Clawed hands grasped the letter, reading over it slowly. A small hum left the woman's lips as she sat near a crackling fireplace, scaled legs crossed over one another. The devil stood up, tail swaying behind her as she grasped her cape, throwing it over her shoulders. Headed to the door, she'd mutter to herself, "It seems it is time to get to work."
