EMP

 

ᛗ

  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: Linhardt von Hevring
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Blurp:

Linhardt is a huge magic, science and history nerd from psuedo-medieval times who's drawn to esoteric mysteries and weird creatures and objects like a moth to flame. (I'm sure there's no way this could go wrong.) He strongly values his freedom and resents people trying to get him to do things for them and is pretty introverted as a result (because he thinks people are only interested in what he can do for them), but can warm up to people and once he does, he will go out of his way to make life easier for them.

As a healer and a pacifist from a war torn canon, he also has strong feelings about people suffering and, despite his disdain for responsibility, he'll intervene to keep someone from being hurt/injured. He just gets grumpy about being expected to do so and about people constantly running head first in to dangerous situations under the assumption he can fix it. (He's also a giant hypocrite given how he'll run head first into dangerous situations if he can learn something.)

Positives: He's empathetic to people's suffering, has a lot of moral integrity, and is intelligent with a lot of open and honest curiosity about the world.

On the negative side, he's selfish, inconsiderate, and a hypocrite.

At home, he also has something between chronic fatigue and narcolepsy. However, since canon powers are being nerfed and his sleepiness is caused by his innate magic, it means he's going to be awake and fully rested for the first time in his life. Very big 'person who just discovered coffee or energy drinks' vibes.

I'm terrible at blurps I'm sorry. ;-;


Vessel Type & General ideas:

Definitely going for token. Most likely a Runecaster (he'd love figuring out the complicated rules and compiling a runic dictionary etc nerd) or a Chronomancer (he knows teleportation magic so let's get weird with spacetime). Still not sure about the third option.

For ideas, I would like to explore:

• Working together in the name of knowledge: Let's figure out what's going on and how this place and its weird magic works! And bond and potentially make poor decisions.
• The tension between freedom and empathy/connections to others: Linhardt's reluctance to get involved with other people stems from him being used to them trying to restrict him, but he does care a lot deep inside. I want to explore this fundamental contradiction pulling him in different directions.

And any other random shenanigans and CR that comes up! Always here for some shenanigans.

hello! very excited to see lindhardt here! sunny is the type that may set off those empathy alarms, he's a pretty pitiful little creature

curious how they would get along! I will keep an eye out on the tdm hehe

[sleepfan]

I mean, it's a game about sleep... you know. Although sadly Linhardt will be having his first insomniac experiences since nerfing him means nerfing his tired too. What do you mean my body won't sleep because I just had a nap? What is this TORTURE?

I'm canonblind, but based on your description, possibly some Bernadetta energy. Do you want a list of good hiding places/nap spots, Sunny? Advice for avoiding people?

[sadpoem]

YES I'd say sunny definitely has bernadetta energy - and he looooooves to sleep. He's a kid who slept four years away just to avoid reality because he prefers his world of dreams - very fitting of the setting, and we'll have a little sleepy club starting right away...

please shop him the best nap spots and where to get the softest pillows

[sleepfan]

As he should! Sleep is amazing. Linhardt 100% agrees that dream worlds > reality, and honestly, he's jealous that Sunny slept for four years. Teach him your ways. Let him sleep until the war is over. It'll be fine. But seems very reasonable to Linhardt! Why WOULDN'T you sleep reality away if you could? Disassociation and avoidance are the best coping strategies! :D

I love the idea of like...secret geocaches filled with sleeping supplies. The sacred nap spots!

[sadpoem]

YEP IT SOUNDS LIKE THESE TWO WILL GET ALONG GREAT (oh dear)

I will look out for lindhardt on the tdm >:3c

[sleepfan]

Yay! Posting here was scary! ;-;
