> 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:
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!

Character Considerations: oh noooo okay
● natsume sakasaki (ensemble stars): he's an easy pick because he is 1. insatiably hungry and 2. a gamer. a total loser who thinks he's better than most people even after character development, he's the technical leader of switch, a unit of "magicians" whose theme is making people forget their worries and be happy during shows. he's a fortune-teller and can be incredibly cryptic when he's guiding people to happiness—aka telling them what he thinks would be a good idea, though it's ultimately up to them to take or leave his advice.
● arashi narukami (ensemble stars): a social butterfly with a bad habit of keeping herself emotionally distant, she's a member of the unit knights, a group that focuses a lot on fanservice and refers to their fans as royalty. she's very kind and gentle, but has a quick-temper... i'd have to think a lot about what she wants but i've been wanting to play her again so let me consider her okay.
● elizabeth (persona series): extremely weird and extremely fun, she's also a social butterfly (why do i, an introvert, play so many people who talk to so many people)... she has definite motivations i could work with and she'd be a LOT of fun honestly... if you ever need some reason to do xyz then there is a 90% chance elizabeth can help that thing happen because of how out-there she is.
● idk maybe a genshin character. i have ei, barbara, venti, and ayaka journals, though venti and ayaka need icons... venti might be a lot of fun. ei could definitely be fun. both are archons but they're very different—ei wants for eternity (and prior to the archon quest believed that "unchanging" was the ideal; she has since changed her views a little) and shut herself up like a hikkikomori in another plane entirely, so she's 100% out of the loop when it comes to modern day. meanwhile, venti has traveled the world for a long time, leaving his city and land in the hands of people—he's about "freedom", a total antithesis to ei's initial idea tbh. venti's a silly bard and knows every song past present and future... both of them are very sad though, to be an archon you have to lose the most important person to you (jk but also srs)
Game Start Preference: mid-january... i mean either is good but mid-january—
Any Questions: UMM cannot think of any right now... wait i guess for persona users, how many personas will be allowed to be summonable... technically elizabeth has the compendium so she can summon Any of them but i like to adhere to a cap if there is one
Other: hi i'm bella c: i like mobage and jrpgs... obviously... my tagging speed has gotten really lowkey lately because of life but i want to rp again so! dammit!! hello... (also sorry for being on my personal account i'm doing icons todaaaay)

we'll see, atm my biggest considerations are both between sawamiyus (elizabeth and ei) and then venti. but if i end up playing an enstars that's just how it is, i can't escape, etc

i understand. i am so envious of everyone on this post who came in knowing with confidence. couldn't be us
no subject
omg i love every single one of them lifts them up high
also!! mod answer (we will update the faq shortly!!) we'll allow characters capable of summoning, or with multiple magical companions (like pokemon), 1 summon/companion to start! after that, we'll allow for event tokens (earned through participating in events) to gradually rebuild and re-assemble their team. we don't have a hard cap, we just wanna make sure you have room to grow over time!
