What's this about lack of sleep?

Souls don't sleep because they don't have bodies. They're just a sort of disembodied consciousness.

That tends to make them get a bit crazy at times.

[Sir Elventide]

ID: Mitsuru Murai

Real Name: Ryzard 'feral' Czajka
Origin: A young man of the interwar polish world.
Description:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Czajka family, having lost their business enterprise joined the KKP polish communist party. Unfortunately the KKP despite their communist alignment where not spared the wrath of the Stalin's Great Purge. In the ensuing ethnic cleansing, the 16 year-old Ryzard found himself crawling out of a hasty mass grave containing many other polish people including his family, it seems his executioner missed. Ryzard decided that he must return to Poland.

Thanks to a mix of village charity and the summer Moscovian wilderness Ryzard managed to cross the Polish-Soviet border. With nothing to designate him as a enemy of Stalin he though he had escaped the violence of the political world, then Germany invaded Poland. The now 18 year-old Ryzard unaware of that Gestapo intelligence had branded him as a dangerous KKP communist, set about reestablishing his family's business by tapping into his remaining assets and connections under his family name. Arriving late to a business meeting with a prospective partner Ryzard was greeted by a sudden barrage of gunfire. Not at him, but presumably at his partner, it blew out the windows above him, immediately realizing the danger Ryzard fled north to the coast. And with luck eventually made it to Great Britian where he signed up for the commando units, at this time he noticed that he had developed night terrors.

Ryzard trained intensely, earning the english name 'feral.' He honed his intense hatred for highly factional political parties who use excessive and constant violence to make up for their poor or nonresistant diplomacy while in England. He felt that parties like the fascist parties and communist-socialist parties did the most harm to their constituents and the people of the countries they control by burdening them with the complicity of the horrible actions they take. Ryzard was deployed in German occupied Soviet lands with the mission of training and establishing partisan guerrilla units. He did so, living off the land, but he was utterly disgusted with their violent behavior towards other partisan groups. It filled him with so much rage that he took it upon himself to eliminate the groups he created rationalizing that they could never ever contribute peacefully to a unified society. He fought the guerrilla cells as a guerrilla, leading some to their capture with false information, others he ambushed himself with explosives, machine guns, with knifes even, he fought with poor regard to his own safety.

Ryzard, in contact with the Lucy spy ring, died in an attempt to fulfill a self-imposed sabotage mission against the German war machine by a machine gun burst in the back. It was his deepest ambition to combat violent factional parties in isolation to avoid burdening families like his with complicity to all of the horrible actions he would combat them.

You forgot to write about your Phantasm.

Thanks.

I made an IC thread for actions, since I foresee people asking mechanics-related questions in the near future.
Here it is

[killerhellhound]

(well me and Ozark or going to have issues with our bodies histories I can just tell)

[killerhellhound]

Strange how nearly all of us have weapons, environmental conditions or a mixed bucket of literal death.

Maybe the lost can only come back to bodies who have souls that want to leave/left.

[Ozarck]

sorta looks that way. We're squatters. heh.

Now that you mentioned it, it would be strange if our souls decided to enter bodies whose souls are still inside, kind of like trying to force yourself into a sleeping bag that someone else is still using...

[Sir Elventide]

I like how you used Roman numerals in reference to Gaius' background. Anyway, I suspect that Neoexdeath may post tomorrow/today since it's the weekend

[Neoexdeath]

Interesting concept. I can't nitpick it much. Suicide is a bit iffy as it suggests your character may have been willing to end it all, whereas Lost Souls are specifically in Limbo because they have something they still wanted to accomplish when they died.

Well, the suicide was more of a result from depression than anything. The constant rejection he faced is what drove him to make the rash decision of killing himself. He actually considers that his study is far from done, and knowing that he completely disregarded his family ties just to follow his passion, I doubt he'd be content to leave his work incomplete.

Also, if it's okay to change stats at this point, then I'd like to go with this combination:

Defense -- 3
Power -- 3
Presence -- 4
Wit -- 6

[Ozarck]

Hahahahah. I forgot this thread existed.

I'm curious as to how much Modern Japanese teen knowledge Makiko has given to Di Wu (the spirit who is now in control of the body).
I think playing Di Wu as completely ignorant of the world around her -as a peasant Chinese girl having been plucked straight from ancient times might be - might be a little much, since
a) we seem to at least have downloaded language skills and some general knowledge from our host bodies, and
b) Di Wu has spent millenia dead. If time in the otherworld flows anything like it does here, she's bound to have collected some information of some kind. Unless she has encountered nothing besides her own fantasia during that whole time.

Thoughts?

Just FYI, I'm on vacation and so the next update will be a while. Monday probs.

As for Ozarck's question:
Your phantasm tends to accumulate experiences and memories from the world in the form of souls passing through. So for Di Wu's case she might be familiar with visitors passing through the forest.

[Ozarck]

Thanks for the answer and the heads up. enjoy your vacation!

Sorry for no updates this week, but getting certified with fancy engineering programs has its price. Expect it tomorrow afternoon (for those of you in the North American version of time).
