[OOC] General

Alrighty, as we get close to starting, I'd like to check with all of us on our lines and veils. This game is Borg-themed, which means generally grimdark, violent, apocalyptic, with some horror. And it has a death mechanic related to seppuku, or ritual suicide.

That said, I'd like us to state our no-go areas: these can be entirely taboo, ie lines we do not cross, or implied and 'off-screen', ie veiled. This list needn't be exhaustive; if something occurs to you later, it's okay to bring it up. By agreeing to play together, we will respect each other's boundaries in this matter.

Also, as GM, I retain the right to invoke any safety measure necessary if for some reason our posts make some of us uncomfortable. I will be consultative on this, of course.

Thanks for all your views on this. We will address issues if they do come up.

On the topic of magic, magic is corrupting and unpredictable in this setting. The darkness that overtook the land transformed what would have been a more realistic world into a greater blurring of the lines between the mundane and the arcane.

Test

Thanks again for all your replies. I will honour them.

I realise six of us are all set to go, so let's get started! I'm starting you off with individual threads, and I've tried to use some feature of your background or skill to give context to what you're doing, or why you're currently in the situation you are in.

We haven't established whether you already know each other or not, so I'm going to let your paths cross first before we establish that. I've deliberately left all names blank, so please fill them in when appropriate, ie who was the person you offended, who your immediate superior was, what was the name of the temple/inn/castle etc.

The first main thread is also up, but you can't post there yet until or unless you all meet. Please read that for context, there will be a few more there to set the scene.
