DEATH ALIGNED / LIFE ALIGNED

opt-in post for letting us know if your character 'belongs' with Sullivan (death) or Zephir (life). sully's player is syd witchpunk — zephir's player is nubl gucky Life and Death have decided that all sentient beings can be categorized to align with one or the other. Once they've decided you belong with one or the other, they're going to treat you as being 'theirs'. Not that they'll harbor animosity for those aligned with the other half; it's just like having favorite children, is all. This is so we can play with various mechanics and even facilitate some CR. If you're not sure where to align your character, leave a comment here or contact us! Themes that may align your character with LIFE: plants, animals, the elements, immortality or agelessness, blood, flesh, energy, healing, health, vitality, youth, light, heat, science, improvement or evolution of living things, disruptive change, thrill of knowing they're alive, be it through pleasure or pain, wanting to find the meaning and purpose of life, passion, hedonism, love, knowledge, wisdom, newness, renewal, music, dance, manipulation of the body and mind, etc. Themes that may align your character with DEATH: rot, decay, death or the experienced act dying, killing, murder, trauma, ptsd, curses, sickness, chronic injuries, chronic pain, cold, darkness, mercy killing, living beyond your years, hate, fury, rage, sadism, a disregard for life including your own, the study of death and macabre themes, etc. <b>Your name:</B> <b>Character name:</B> <b>Character username:</B> <b>Death or life aligned:</B> <b>Any notes:</B>

[parallaxes]

Your name: Koke

Character name: Josias di Jaconissa
Character username: dastardly
Death or life aligned: Life

Any notes: Relentlessly curious, greedily hedonistic, always after new experiences, new knowledge. He has experienced dying once (wasn't resurrected so much as time being rewound and changed, but he retained his memories) and hated it, no thanks.


Character name: John Murphy
Character username: wrackful
Death or life aligned: Death

Any notes: Being from a post-apoc canon, his whole life has been dictated by existing on the knife's edge of survival. In canon he's almost died a bunch of times, killed directly twice, and seen more people die than you could shake a stick at. In his CRAU game experiences he's died twice and killed a few more times. He's got a boatload of trauma, suffers chronic pain from his symbiote, has to actively fight to have hope (over basic pragmatism) in bad circumstances, and anger is his energy.


Character name: Mara Sov
Character username: ulterior
Death or life aligned: Both :)

Any notes: The Awoken were created at the exact point where the Traveller's defensive wave met the Witness' fleet's attack during the Collapse - where Light met Darkness. Light and Darkness are analogous to and/or encompass Life and Death in the Destiny world build, and the Awoken being "born" from both is very important to them as a race and within the theological landscape of the story. Mara is personally also balanced between the two - she's a several millennia old ruler who's been in quite a few wars, suffered a load of personal grief and trauma, technically died herself a couple of times, but also was responsible for the creation of the Awoken race, and loves life and the universe and people enough that she forfeited true immortality in the long-game hopes of being able to save Earth.
