what do we need to live?

Spiritual/astral energy and water. Since you lack the former in this world, you have to focus on the latter in excess. This was a mechanic I planned to introduce later on down the line.

What do we have?

Specify.

Are there any resources other than sand and stone?

Yes. I mentioned oases (water), and land yet to be discovered which means the entire world isn't sand and stone. Honestly, the write-in kind of contradicted itself, so y'all can find somewhere else to make a settlement or I can work something into the current one.

Do we have any difference from humans?

Yes. On average, Mystics have four or six arms and feelers which they use to communicate and for sensory purposes. And tails, which aren't furry and skin-only like the rest of them. Three eyes (you can guess where the third one is), and odd skin tones.

How many of us are there?

About 100.

Do we control a specific Mystic? Or are we some invisible, outside controller?

You control a 'silent protagonist' Mystic. You're a director. Name, appearance, such on? Unimportant. For the time being.

What are Mystics like, compared to humans?

See above.

To Everyone: Update shortly. Just checking my email and other important stuff. Keep in mind the SG is starting out light, so when you information such as that, you're treading into territory I have yet to map, figuratively speaking.

The tribe comes upon a world. A world that is as composed of an intimidating mix of sand and stone, with large oases scattered about. One thing is certain: the entire world is not the same as what you see, and your tribe is eager to explore and expand. Now, it is worth noting that the tribe has settled in a very peculiar spot: near a large oasis with traces of ruins in the surrounding area. Scouts report various tunnels and caves underneath. Very dark, but designed with immaculate architecture. They figure that the footsteps of past peoples have tread there, leaving behind a legacy -- should you be able to find it. With careful consideration to the ensemble, an advisor asks you if you're sure you want to make this the centre of the civilization you are to build.

Nearly a month since the last up date, so yes it's likely dead.
(my games that i haven't updated in ages are still just on hiatus...)

I'd revive it, but, you know, leaving and all.

Wasting no time, you get Vahara out of the way of the next beam, which comes pretty close to hitting her. That seemed to jar her out of her post-freak out state.

"Jeez. Easy on the tackle, next time." She says, rubbing her head. You expect more...bite than that. Maybe she's not 100% recovered yet.

"You're welcome for saving your life. We need to-" You both dodge another beam. "We need to get to that girl."

"It figures that a Psellout and a Smurf would try some cowardly shit like this. Wait. Let me try something." She calmly puts both of her palms on the railcar's floor, channelling electricity through it. The bolts go right to the rear, locking blue hair in place. She was already locked in to begin with, but now she can't do anything but curse you both. "Go, Orphanette. I can only do this for so long!"

"Right!" You rush to the rear, where you telekinetically hold blue hair in place, allowing Vahara to ease up a bit. She rushes over to Zhanort who is likely dead by now.

Not you. The site. It did something to the update.

PTW. I would post some suggestion, but this time I don't have any idea at all.

Not a big deal. Stick around and watch or give me feedback! You're welcome in this thread.

"Zhanort, what happened to the other girl?" You are interested in the blonde, but more focused on the last remaining threat.

"Oh. She-" A blue beam of energy comes from the rear most car of the train and pierces Zhanort's head. You get out of the way so that you avoid being holed-up yourself.

You know it's the blue-haired girl, and figure it's psionic since you detected psi energy coming from the beam. Looking at the door it went through, you notice a medium-sized hole with glowing blue residue that is melting the metal. You don't have time to go to Zhanort; you'll be killed. You figure Vahara is next now that she's back to normal.
