  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!

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Nadya Lapteva
Canon: Something Dark and Holy
Blurp:

Welcome to the book series nobody knows. I have desperately been trying to find a game that would work for her.

Nadya grew up as a Cleric in a monastery where she was kept as a treasure due to her ability to talk to the pantheon and great magic. From a young age she was taught she would be the one to stop the war that's been raging for years and years between her country and the heretical Tranavia.

Turns out the monastery, and the church in general, was a lot more like a cult than anything and her pantheon had been using and lying to her for her entire mistake. Alas she realizes this far too late and ends up making some Pretty Big Mistakes. Like being gaslight by her main goddess into assisting in wiping out all of Tranavia's magic.

Then accidentally releasing the fallen eldritch gods.

Also dying and being resurrected only to find out the real reason she can preform magic isn't because the gods bless her when she prays to them it's....

because she's an eldritch god and has more power than they do. So logically they've just been lying to her all her life to make sure she doesn't realize she's as powerful as she is and maybe rebel.

Or accidentally unleash her power and start the path to the end of the world. That'd sure suck if that happened (spoiler: it happened).

Really, at the end of the day she's just a kid that had her childhood stolen from her. Lost everyone, found out her life was a lie, and has way more responsibility and creepy monstrous power put on her than anyone ever should. She gives people WAY more chances than they should, is stubborn as hell, and somehow despite constantly being betrayed and lied to she still manages to be hopeful.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

Going with Token for now and would absolutely love Bloodwright because that's the magic she accidentally got rid of that Tranavia had and she would just have SO much conflict with that. All her life her gods told her that kind of magic was wrong. It'd be a struggle. Necromancer or Aquamancer would be fantastic too!

What I really want to do is give her more of a chance and breathing room to think about the massive mistakes she's made, the things she's done for revenge and love, what it means that she's died twice and come back as this eldritch...thing. Then struggling with what exactly she does not to fix all the shit she fucked up in the world.

If she even can. idk there's a lot to dig into and the setting seems great for her/it

I'm just awkwardly hitting up anyone who looks interesting, so hi.

*insert 'How do you do fellow DWRPers' meme here*

Anyway, lying Churches? Too much responsibility? Linhardt's position is much, much less serious and traumatizing than it sounds like Nadya's is, but he still might be interesting to talk to. He's involved in an uprising against his world's Church and has, uh, ambivalent feelings about it as their main divine/faith caster. He also has a fatal allergy to responsibility despite having some (again, much less than she does). So some sympathy? Somebody willing to say 'doing nothing and thinking is fine, actually?' idk.

[towydzimyka]

Hi! I don't think it's awkward at all, I think that's just very nice of you (but maybe I'm awkward myself)

He sounds like he'd be very interesting for her to talk to actually! She definitely needs someone to suggest that maybe doing nothing and just thinking would be fine. Maybe someone that will help her relax? Learn what that is

[sleepfan]

Linhardt is very, very good at relaxing. Sit by a pond and fish! Nap in a field of flowers! Skip all your classes and meetings! He'll have more energy in game than he does in canon as nerfing his powers also nerfs his chronic magical fatigue, but a good sleep session is still a joy. Basically, Nadya should relax and do what brings her joy (as long as it doesn't hurt people), and if anyone has a problem with that, sounds like a Them Problem.

[towydzimyka]

She doesn't even know fully what would bring her joy (never really got a chance to learn about things like that) so maybe Linhardt could be someone to help her figure that out while they chill

[sleepfan]

It's very important to find joy. Note that Linhardt says this because his one of his joys is obsessively studying weird magic, magical genetics, and magical creatures, so being in an apocalyptic hellscape isn't really a problem there...if your joy is 'living somewhere that doesn't suck' it's going to be a little harder oops.

[furtitude]

Cato's also a kid that had most of his childhood ripped away (grew up in a dictatorship, imprisoned and abused by the dictator for three years) and has been trying to stop an eldritch apocalypse. He might be freaked out that she's the eldritch being herself but he'd get over it.

And he sympathize with accidentally damaging things. His crew accidentally unleashed the eldritch horror they were trying to fight.

[towydzimyka]

I still haven't gotten over Final Space being canceled =( At least she used her weird powers to try to stop the other eldritch beings from causing the apocalypse!

They could really relate to each other on that one! it'd probably be some pretty fun cr
