interest check

> welcome, worldwalkers!

There is something you want. Perhaps it's something grand: to see someone who's long gone, vengeance, your life back. Perhaps it's something smaller: to win a tournament, your next meal, a discount on cat litter. It's that desire, as loud or quiet as it may be, that whisks you away into darkness. One single word greets you:

LOADING . . .
Duocaeli is a fantasy/adventure private panfandom game that situates itself between two worlds: one online fantasy, and the other modern day city. As Worldwalkers, characters will get to experience the best and worst of both worlds as they chase after something want, a wish that's promised to them after they've honed their skills. Yet as they progress through their journey they will be able to witness how the choices they make affect their environment—and perhaps how the setting may change them in turn.

For some characters that come into Duocaeli, the beautiful starting city, Avis Isle, might ring truer to home with its mystical tomes and boisterous guilds. For others, it might be Crane City with its modern amenities like electricity, high-speed transit systems, and you know, indoor plumbing that feels familiar. Regardless, characters must learn to walk between both worlds, whether that means fumbling around with a giant axe or learning how to work the self-checkout at the grocery store. Crane City insists that it is the location rooted in reality, but why is it that with every passing day, Duocaeli seems less like fun and games and more like a robust world of its own? Monthly events will invite characters on adventures where they’re often faced with making key decisions, and will have to watch those choices shape the worlds around them. Who knew reality was so malleable, huh?

As a game, Duocaeli strives to strike the balance between lighthearted slice-of-life and more serious adventuring, with opportunities for horror and other moments of gravitas. Some of the mechanics will allow players to engage with customizable magic, temporary AUs, and deepening character relationships. The game will borrow from a number of inspirations, including MMORPGs, mobile games, and different mythological and fantasy sources. Over time, we hope to expand the game setting mechanics in additional patches! ;) We look forward to seeing you there!

Rhys!! Hibiki and Sakura didn't really get the chance to interact much, and if I do end up apping here I plan on rectifying that.

Or throwing her at Ichigo again, we didn't get a chance to have these two bro it up and I'm sad about that. Clearly we need to make up for that.

[zangetsu]

HONESTLY THO


we gotta

it's a rule!!!

are you gonna bully sagi too tho

[windsongs]

Nope it's just me this time around!

But okay listen, I'm updating her before bringing her in, so she will be coming in hot after her first encounter with a corrupted spirit. I don't know that he would have ever mentioned hollows to her, but if he has, Ichigo will be the first person she goes to. Because wtf even is this nightmare fuel she just beat the shit out of had to deal with

[craters]

we can say it came up after the harvest thread tbh, probably not in super depth but he would have been open to talking abt it a little we just got thwarted by Life Stuff, lmf!!

so BRING IT ON

[windsongs]

PERFECT. I can't wait for this totally wholesome and not nightmare inducing conversation.

She might even have a picture of it, if she comes here with her cellphone. For added fun :)

[craters]
