Atharen, A Fantasy Roleplay Forum

Hello,

I want to request the reception of rewards for the Faith In the End of Days plot early.

This is a lot to ask, but please hear me out.

As I discussed with Tyranny, the Light Touched would remove the Umbralplasm in Arkash's soul when the mark of Lucence is bestowed upon him at the end of the plot.

The restoration of his blood magic and the debilitation of the mark of Lucence will have a very high impact on Arkash's character and story to such a degree that it cannot be ignored.

With the change of season, I am no longer able to write in the days prior to the end of the plot. With such a tremendous event in Arkash's life left unwritten I cannot, as a writer, find a compelling reason for Arkash to simply ignore his blood magic or not experience overstepping from Lucence for however many seasons it takes to resolve the plot.

Ultimately, the absence of continuity in the story (if I must go this route) feels more at home on Nickelodeon than in a mature creative writing community.



I ask for the rewards ahead of time instead of emancipation from the plot because the plot was supposed to be a reward for coming first, second, or third place in NaNo of 2021 (of which I was the only contender to meet the original word count requirement). I sacrificed hours of sleep, gym, and social activity while I juggled 50-60 hour work weeks to earn my place in this plot and would not like to be ejected for reasons out of my control.


Of course, if there are alternative methods of making Arkash forget that his Blood Magic was restored and blocking the harmful effects of obliging Lucence's urges, I'm open to compromise.

Thank you for your time and consideration in my struggle.

Discussion of how to handle this plot was on my mind anyway. With Tyranny running the plot but also being less present, the other players involved deserve to be able to RP in Glade. I will discuss with him and post to the channel in discord when we reach a conclusion.

Awesome. I did speak with Shane on the side, and he said this was fine as long as I didn't use the abilities of lucence and just adhered to the initiation penalty, but I'm willing to follow whatever you come up with too.

Arkash has the same allowance as all other characters in the Faith of the End of Days plot.

Therefore, he may acquire Lucence if you wish -- or not, if you don't! He may not discuss the circumstances of his initiation for now. He may not ascend in Lucence until the plot is completed. I hope this resolves things to your satisfaction. The plot will continue, but as it's meant to be self-contained with no other permanent effects to characters, you should be free to plot in Glade freely as you wish. Arkash and all other players are available for world travel and other things starting in Frost 60.
