The game is getting pretty huge, and it's plot-heavy to boot. There's plenty of opportunity to meet other characters in the event or mingle logs, but what about the rest of the time? Surely there are characters who trip over each other once a week just because they visit the same grocery store, or characters who haunt the same places because they have the same hobbies. So, here are some questions to help you sort out what we're all up to when there aren't any giant mythical beings attempting to stomp the city flat, and how our characters might be attracting one another's attention from day to day. It may be that some of us need only a little push to fall into each other's fictional pretendy funtime arms.

1) Notable physical features: (Is there anything about your character's appearance that is likely to draw attention? Weird hair? Sword bigger than they are? Constantly wearing armor? Conga line of Pokemon following them down the street?)

2) Age: (Child? Grownup? Teenager? Ageless being with startlingly young features?)

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: (Do they leave trails of flowers in their wake everywhere they go, or are they prone to causing small thunderstorms in public?)

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: (Are they in the apartments in the standard residential area? Have they found a shifty hidey-hole for themselves in the slums, or have they moved into another neighborhood to live amongst the rich people? Who are their roommates?)

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, have a lot of feelings okaaaaaay, so on.)

6) Their general sense of fashion: (What they tend to wear when they're not wearing their usual canon getups.)

7) Hobbies: (Does your character like to draw? If so, maybe they cross paths with this other person who likes to draw in one of the local art stores. If they are a fighter, maybe other characters have seen them around the training grounds.)

8) Jobs: (Are they a clerk in a shop other characters might have reason to visit? Are they part of the waitstaff in a restaurant other characters might frequent? Do they deliver all over town, and meet up with several store owners?)

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: (Do they hate it or want to stay? Are they invested in whatever's going on around them, or do they try not to get involved? How do they interact with the new folks?)

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: (Are they articulate over the amulets, but hesitant and shy in person? Do they hate the amulets and avoid using them? Do they prefer image, voice, or text?)

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:

16) Anything else you want to note?:

1) Notable physical features: Mu has very long lavender hair and is occasionally seen in a solid gold suit of armour.

2) Age: 21. Yes you read that right and it's not a typo. He's 21.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Mu keeps a pretty level head in all situations, so while he's not a generator of many effects himself, he does dampen a few that happen around him. When Mu is anxious or upset, he tends to leave monochrome in his wake.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Alone in a bachelor apartment in one of the less wealthy neighborhoods. It is small and sparsely filled, but neatly kept.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Generally up shortly before the sun, does some exercise/meditations in the park, stops by Enforcer HQ to see if there's anything urgent that needs attention. If not, Mu can be found lurking at a coffee house, in the Library, or in some parkland (usually reading, sometimes keeping himself in shape).

6) Their general sense of fashion: Modest, nothing (relatively) outlandish. Dresses up a little more for Enforcer's meetings and other such things. Usually wears a scarf or capelet of some sort.

7) Hobbies: Mu spends most of his free time keeping himself in shape both physically and mentally, so he 1) Reads a lot and 2) Trains a lot.

8) Jobs: Works for the Otherworlder Enforcers, in the Combat and Damage Control departments. Also sometimes does odd construction/rebuilding jobs as the demand for them rises

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Not a weapon, but Mu came to the city with The Aries Cloth (helmet included, but not pictured). He usually doesn't wear it except in case of emergencies.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: Since October '15. He would like to go home, but he's starting to enjoy not having to be prepared 24/7 to go to war against Hades.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The Library, coffee shops, parkland, sometimes drillyards/training facilities.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: His mannerisms are fairly consistent regardless of how one is speaking with him. Over the amulets, Mu prefers to keep it to voice only from his end simply out of habit/preference.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Ehhh, Moderate upgrade. Mu's canon happens in 1986, but he spent his time prior to that isolated in the Himalayan mountains so.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: Magical Shounen Super Hero Powers. Without getting to much into it, he's inhumanely strong, naturally telepathic, a powerful and talented telekenetic, and can harness an insanely destructive energy leftover from the birth of the universe. There's more details in my app. tl;dr: psychic godmod tank, when he chooses to be.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: Nothing concrete at the moment outside of possibly finding a measure of peace in being away from home, and not waiting on the edge of his seat for a war (that will likely kill him) to break out.

16) Anything else you want to note?: He raised a child to 9 years old without killing it. I'd say so far so good.
