  Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's first EMP! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- TDM: June 7th
- RESERVES: June 21st
- APPS: June 22nd - 26th
- GAME START: July 1st

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either (only to reserve and app). Mod-run invites will also be available then, so I thank you kindly for your patience!

Use the form below to show us those pretty white jaws!

john brady — masters of the air

[bellylanding]

Blorbo #2 everyone give it up for blorbo #2!! He is also an aviator because I think aviation is neat so I end up watching a lot of Flying Canons/having related character ideas because of it. Vicious cycle etc.

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: John Brady
Canon: Masters of the Air
Blurp:

John's an introverted, stoic Irish-Catholic B-17 bomber pilot pulled fresh out of early WWII. He's generally pretty aloof, snarky with a very dry sense of humor, but deep down, he cares deeply about the people around him and is quite attuned to the emotions of other people, forming deep bonds with a select few as opposed to socializing with everyone (with the exception of after a few drinks). This is at odds with the image of 1940s masculinity he tries to exude, which leads to him doing things like lying to cover for someone he cares about in front of that person only to then immediately deny that he did so to their face.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

So first of all John's Catholic ass is 100% immediately assuming he has died and is in either Purgatory or Hell (TBA...). He's going to react to this experience with very intense stress, and he's going to deeply miss the castmates he had attachments to and be a little slow to start forming new bonds.

I'm super torn on what to choose for his Vessel, but right now I'm mostly rotating around Merrow (selkie), Satyr (deer-inspired centaur), and Valkerie (barn owl features) around in my head like a microwave.

On one hand, as is the case with Freddie, I think it would be super cool to write a skilled professional having to just completely relearn something that's second nature to them as a Valkerie who doesn't already know how to use these new body parts. John would also feel Really Weird about the wings given the whole angel thing!! This would take away the longing to get back up into the air he would otherwise feel.

BUT I feel like being able to put on a sealskin and go from a terrestrial creature to an aquatic one as a selkie would have some fun parallels with how he, a groundbound being, can get into a plane and experience flight in a way his body isn't innately made for, and I just feel like he would really enjoy that?? Also possibly enhanced empathy as one of his Traits to intensify how much he already feels.

Orrr - and this is merely me aesthetically thinking it looks sick af - he could be a centaur Satyr with his animal half being a grown red deer. I'm very much picturing the sort of quiet, noble, graceful animal appearance here. He's also a sax/clarinet player, so I'd want to do something music related. I feel like it also works because he's canonically very good at calming people and keeping a level head, and just sort of quiet and still in general. Plus like, antlers.
