How Do We Start Each Character's Pathways, Guard V/civ V And Ravens Therapy/ Further Descent, Are We

Can you tell us more about the magic skills? Like infliction, transmania etc

Hooo okay, so I sat on this one for a few days because I wanted to decide if I wanted to bring this up before it comes up in a released form, and ultimately decided sure, though it could be considered spoilers. So that’s warning number one.

Warning number two is that I’m currently working at the alpha level. I’m really trying to emphasize that because certain elements of this list could change when I reach the editing process, or even mid-way through the alpha if I feel like it’s not working well enough. I’ve done a good amount of planning, but this is my first time putting a game together on my own. So. yeah. Keep those things in mind.

On to the fun stuff!

There are two primary trees of magic available to the MC: Blood Magic and Mind Magic. The MC is locked into either one of these trees or the other based on their choices in the first chapter, though they may be able to train up skills on the other tree later down the road.

Blood Magic includes three major skills:

Healing, which should be sort of self explanatory I think

Infliction, which is the flip side of healing, and may verge into full-blown necromancy. This school is primary concerned with encouraging disease and rot to inflict damage.

Transanima, which is the ability to transform themselves (or parts of themselves) and other living creatures into other living creatures. The ability cannot cross realms (a squirrel cannot become a Brownie, for example) but within the bounds of their realm a creature can become anything if enough power is used (a squirrel CAN become an elephant if you try hard enough.) Transformations come with varying levels of permanency.

Mind Magic includes three major skills:

Evocation, which is concerned with manipulating the cardinal elements for one’s own benefit. Fireballs, water bending, etc. all fall into this category.

Illusion, which is concerned with casting both complete fabrications and changing the appearance (though not the physicality) of objects on people.

Conjuration, which could also be termed “summoning.” This ability allows you to pull non-hostile, non-sentient Fae of a range of sizes through the veil to aid you.

There are also three other skills available to the MC of either tree:

Alchemy, which is essentially what River is doing in chapter Two with the spray bottle and bracelets. IE, using a mixture of physical ingredients and primary rules like Affinity to create tools.

Telekinesis, which is the ability to move objects around you by creating invisible gravity wells and forces.

Empathy, which in the MC will manifest only as the ability to push their emotions upon others. So Pushing empathy, but not receptive empathy.

DRUMROLL PLEASE-!! (Announcement 6/5/21)

With the completion of the concept of a particular character, I've decided to make an announcement to both introduce this character, and explain how certain romance routes are going to play out.

I'd like to make it clear by saying that seven out of the nine planned romance routes are going to begin in book one. In The Ocean of Stars is book one in what I plan to be at least five different books. The majority of the main cast is that of the crew, and the reader will most likely meet all, if not the majority, by the end of chapter five.

What makes the two other routes different is their placement in the story. Hope (Subject 3024) will not arrive until much later in book one, which is why I've kept much of their story under wraps. However, because of the fact that they do appear in book one, I've gone ahead and listed their route down.

This new RO character is an essential character to the rest of the story, and will play a major role in book two. The introduction of this character is after book one has ended, and because of this, I've yet to add this character to this list as I do not wish to false advertise.

After much thought and consideration however, I've decided to go ahead and tentatively add this character to the list of ROs that will exist in the story.

I cannot say much about this character, this character's motivations, their backstory, etc., because none of it becomes prevalent until the second book. I didn't want to leave readers in the dark about this romance route in case they actually wish to romance them, however, so I will be including this character just in case.

You will have the option to pursue other romance routes until the end of book two, in which case you are permanently locked into a route for the rest of the series.

For now, whenever questions about the ROs as a whole pops up, I will be responding with only eight of the romance options instead of the full nine.

I will be updating the "Meet the Cast!" post soon, so be on the look out for that! Thank you!

Hi! Author!Can blob ask what kind of uniform the student in the Graves of heirs world wear?it is more of a Victorian style clothes?do they have pretty ornament on them?and do they have different uniform with each student?

-blob-

Hey, Blob!

So, there are two uniforms in TGOH, but the first one doesn't last very long.

Also, this got kind of long so under the cut!

The big difference between the uniforms between the students is boys wear shorts and the girls wear skirts.

The first one is the uniform of Niko Lades and if you don't mind I'm just going to copy and paste the description from the game:

It's a simple uniform, pale whites and greys to match the clothes of the sisters. The only flash of colour I can see is a ribbon with a purple broach on it. The grey shorts/skirt has straps that criss-cross over the back, matched by simple grey tights and a loose button up shirt with worn cuffs.

The shoes worn with this outfit are black dress shoes.

The second uniform is the one worn in Ehrenreich. There's a small description of it in the prologue (being worn by Carmine. Also same shoes):

She wears a school uniform with golden tassels on the shoulders of a black military jacket and a purple dress shirt underneath. Overall she looks like she just rolled out of bed - ripped tights, wrinkled clothes, and more locks of blonde hair out of place than in.

I realize this description is kind of sparse so I tried my hand at An Art™ (I'm sorry it's so bad lmao - is it obvious I have shaky hands?) I did this really quick so I couldn't do the details on the jacket so I just grabbed some reference images. They also wear a leather clasp neck piece underneath their clothes - basically a collar but it extends down over entire neck.

I hope this helped! Thank you so much for the ask!

It looks so promising! Just the summary itself is an art already, definitely looking forward for any kind of content <333

It’s gotten too quiet. Far too quiet. The wind doesn’t rush through the jagged rocks and twisted metal, the eagle doesn’t cry out high overhead. Not even the haunting static, nor the low mechanical hum. In this canyon, walls of glass and stone and shattered metal, no sound enters. No sound escapes. No screams of the dying, just the silence of those long dead.

Long dead. Like you.

Lost Birds is a post-apocalyptic story of survival and revenge, set in a distant and bleak future where everything that could go wrong, has.

You see, the end of the world wasn’t too bad. A flash of light, a searing heat, the taste of metal in your mouth. Waking up in a scorched plain to skies as black as the soil, to the first rain you had seen in years. Alone, you set off. One destination in mind. One purpose in mind.

You were not the only one to survive. The wilds have come alive again, stranger and more beautiful than ever. The people have come alive again, rebuilding on the frontiers, escaping the few cities left unscathed.

You find yourself an outsider amongst outsiders, a desperate seeker, searching for something lost to time and memory. A past hidden away from prying eyes, a future that relies on answers to a question you cannot ask. The promise of information brings you to a city sunken into the earth, secrets buried in the catacombs below. Your journey begins and ends there. Betrayed, dying with a question on your lips.

Dying wasn’t too bad. A fading of the light, a bitter coldness, the taste of blood in your mouth. Waking up, however, was as unpleasant as it was unexpected.

What to Expect:

Semi-customizable MC: choose your gender and personality, make impactful choices.

A blending of genres, from solarpunk to post-apocalyptic, with influences from westerns, cyberpunk and traditional science fiction.

A beautiful, surreal, and often dangerous new world to explore.

Immortality, as long as you’re not too picky about the definition.

A non-linear story, jumping back and forth between past, present and future.

Revenge. Maybe.

Your Companions:

The Ghost [nb]: A… being… from the place where nothing grows. A master tracker, as silent, swift and deadly as the prey they hunt.

The Traitor [m]: A young man wearing a battered uniform and a plethora of wounds, as lost morally as he is physically. The folks out here don’t take kindly to those with flexible loyalties.

The Deputy [f]: The judge, jury and executioner, both lawman and lawmaker. She may be harsh, but never make the mistake of calling her cruel to those she governs.

The Gunslinger [m, f, nb]: A fellow mercenary with a rather peculiar moral code. A fast hand and a faster wit.

The Archangel [f]: Your protector, a voice that woke you from death itself. A flickering hologram of a dead woman.
