Chapter 2 by OccasionalReader OccasionalReader

What's next?

Writing Guidelines (I had a great idea for one of the six characters and want to write them)

If you had an idea for one of the six characters and want to write them, please follow these requirements:

First, you must be able and willing to respect the complicated system of chapters here. It's highly unlikely that this story will ever have depth higher than 12 if the climax of the story is excluded. This is because there exist a number of hub chapters, from which most of the rest of the content branches. These hub chapters are shared by all six characters.

Second, please use the central variables. These are:

  1. The day counter - some in-game events are dependent on this and may be locked out for players if too much or too little time has passed
  2. The 3 stats for the class relevant to your character. Several chapters may have requirements for stats
  3. The special stat for the class relevant to your character. Please keep this in mind when writing your chapters
  4. Gold, silver, and copper. Each city will have a money exchanger which can convert between the three. 10 copper is 1 silver, and 10 silver is 1 gold. Please pay attention to in-game prices and have rewards be written with those in mind. Rewards should not be so high or so low so as to be unbalanced
  5. The class stat itself. If an option should not be available to every class, please add the classes that should be able to as a condition to view the chapter you write.

Third, please message me so that we can collaborate on lore - there will be limited lore available in the Lore chapter but much lore will be hidden so as to avoid major plot spoilers. You as a writer, however, need to know these spoilers and write with them in mind.

Fourth, for the love of all that is good and holy, please abide by copyright. As a rule of thumb, if a name (such as Halfling) is existent in both Paizo's and Wizards's systems, it's a reasonable certainty that we can also use that name. If something is unique to one of the two please follow caution over inspiration.

Finally, if you want to write the paladin character, my sole requirement is that they be from Tono, City of Omens. The reason for this is that that city has a battalion of pegasus rider paladins. And who wouldn't want to play someone who either starts out as or has the option later down the line to join the batallion?

I have a few ideas for what I would like to see out of the six characters, but they are by no means binding:

  • I would like all six characters to be different races - one human (spot taken by the cleric, reasons are lore-based), one elf, one dwarf, one gnome, one aasimar, and one of something else
  • Some fun ideas for character combos include:
  • tiefling paladin
  • vampire paladin (race, not cursed being)
  • aasimar wizard
  • gnome fighter
  • elf rogue
  • dwarf bard
  • Some traditional ideas for character combos include:
  • aasimar paladin
  • gnome wizard
  • elf bard
  • dwarf fighter
  • halfling rogue (50% of the thieves' guild is halflings in Gaea)

As a final note, there are three hidden variables: female, male, and hermaphroditic. These are rather crude variables, and do not refer to gender. Hermaphroditic is NOT intersex, but simply means having both primary sex organs. Intersex sexes should be categorized on this, should you choose to have the character you make be intersex, by the primary sex organs. 47,XYY for instance, would categorize as male.

99% of all trans people have transitioned to one of these three trinary states. Why? Girdle of gender change (there is a fourth state, sexless, but that's not likely to happen seeing as this is an erotica site; if your player character indeed desired and transitioned to sexless, we can work out the details). If the character you make did transition, you will need to talk with me about the details, as that involves lore that I keep close to my chest. This does, however, mean that someone who's intersex and trans would very likely have transitioned to their preferred trinary state.
