> 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!

Contact: basil#5015
Invite?: mod approved +1 via kosy who threatened me with pasta

Character Considerations: It is not pasta my heart would break in two.

Thinking about...

Serph from Avatar Tuner, the LN version of Digital Devil Saga. Or maybe Khun from Tower of God!?!

Game Start Preference: rolls around since this was decided but i am here to poke at the beta, excitedly
Any Questions: For canons where the character is in an MMO/digital world and has 2 selves (so real world, "digital). How would that work?? Could they stick to 1 the entire time bc shakes canon. if this is better to ask on the FAQ lmk!

also bc glances at DDS, are odd diets accounted for in-game?

Other: this is the current state of my brain

waves shyly to people i know and dont know!!!

OH SERPH that would be really neat i think... i haven't read the light novel tho

me revisiting the era of throwing myself into canons from high school. its a good read and it diverges from the game after a point, which is super interesting

its also not fully translated in eng yet weeps. waits forever for last part...

but its enough to play so!

waiting for translations is the killer of us all.........

hello lb!! we have the diet question on the faq already actually, but for your other one, it'd be whatever form that they're at for your selected canonpoint. for their OFF form in-game, you can aspects of their "real world" version if you like and vice versa, but you should predominantly be playing off of what form they currently are at their canonpoint!
