While we're waiting for a few players to make their entries, we still need some descriptions of your characters. Who, or What, are they?

I don’t know, Human? An animal that gained sentience due to a spell? Elementals? I’m used to character sheets, maybe the other players have more specific ideas than me

Alright, since it seems appropriate. Should we start? To begin with I'm just dropping you guys into some random back alley of a coastal city with 1000 dollars in local currency, a copy of the arcanodex, and the clothes you are wearing.

Alright then, what are your general actions for the first few days you are present? I will add your entries to the arcanodex in a bit. (read, tomorrow or sometime shortly after that.)

Find pebbles, create a Rakara. Make note of where it stores its shinies.
Go to Walmart and buy 3 rolls of Duct Tape, a flip phone (with unlimited talk/text), a calendar (mostly for the phases of the moon), and a map.
Acquire seashell from the beach.
Ask around for jobs requiring a mage.

Explore my surroundings, find a shop and buy a backpack, talk with some people about their experiences with magic
You find that you are located in a large coastal city called New Yont, it appears to have some problems with magical creature infestations, and has a large park with a heck stone circle at the center. You buy a relatively cheap if well built backpack from a shop for fifteen dollars in local currency, and talk with some people about their experiences with magic. It seems like magic is a recent occurrence, only having emerged in the last fifteen years and most people just view it as a new pest of sorts, mainly dealing with rakaras, though some others recount tomato soup saving their lives from otherwise lethal injuries.
Find pebbles, create a Rakara. Make note of where it stores its shinies.
Go to Walmart and buy 3 rolls of Duct Tape, a flip phone (with unlimited talk/text), a calendar (mostly for the phases of the moon), and a map.
Acquire seashell from the beach.
Ask around for jobs requiring a mage.

You create a rakara out of pebbles (2d6, 3+6=9, superior outcome) and tracking it leads you to a sort of rakara nest, where rakara have found or built a dry place and bring their shinies and any rocks they gather. The Rakara you created appears to be smarter than average, and appears to be starting to organize the local rakara a bit. You successfully buy all the things you wanted, for roughly 1.5 tenths of your total funds. You gather seashells (You rolled a 6 on 2d6, mildly inferior outcome) you find a few, many of them are broken or chipped though. You ask around for jobs, it appears as though there is a job to clear out local rakara infestations, which would be quite easy with your skill set
Search for a cheap hotel and a part-time job
You find a hotel offering rooms for (you rolled a five, inferior outcome) 50 dollars per night. For a part time job (you rolled a 6, slightly inferior outcome) you find a job as a dishwasher and helping clean up after hours at a local diner, it comes with free dinner consisting of whatever is left over at the end of the day, and pays 10 dollars an hour. There's also some demand for a mage to help with local rakara infestations
Pretty meh turn. By the way, all of you can sense Something[/i] fall from the sky. It emanates feelings of unholy and primal magic.

Search for seashells to put in the backpack, when this is done, apply for the Ramada removal

Make a Duct Tape backpack.
Find out if rakara consider 2 shinies to be better than 1: offer mine 2 nickels for a quarter.
Investigate the unholy/primal thing.

Find a general goods store.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

You aren't in the game yet, not until you submit at least 2 arcanodex entries.
