Since a rush of inspiration came to me, and left me with a desire to map something in particular, I've been hard at work on another new project in the mapping environment, this time making a swamp type area for the game, considering so far we don't have anything like such at the moment! I figured it would be a nice bit of variation, and I'd be able to create something good out of it.

So, after a lot of work, here's a screenshot of the progress I've made so far. In the main discord you can find more screenshots of progress, and a video of me wandering around the place as it is in the mapping environment, if you're interested in seeing the whole thing!

More screenshots will follow later.

Shapeshifter is cool. Here are some ideas I have to make it cooler, and more compatible with other classes - all of which is of course open to critique and changes.

Applicable BYOND Key - ValkyrieIncubator

Character Name - Franziska Von Hargrave

Request Type - Character History

Request Details -  The basic gist of it is that I'm requesting basically official approval to play the daughter of an agency Member. (More so making it official so I don't get bapped for saying she is and it causing a mess.) As well as to get her Nobility more or less checked to be fine. Of course, it is a completely minor noble she'd be rather than being part of an established Karaten noble family.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I've spoken to Dyst about it very briefly over discord (Logs of such are attached in a quote), brought it here to make it official.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Franziska is a minor noble and is what most people would call a 'Prodigy Investigator' or 'Prodigy' who has inherited the majority of her father's skills at such a young age to a degree. Compared to most investigators outside of the Agency and the Karaten Special Taskforce she performs above average for her age even possibly being able to give them a run for their money or prove to be quiet the rival for them.

An actual question for GM's uh, is there any form of list Members of the Agency? As well as is it possible to say play some form of relative to a member of the Agency, providing there is a list or not? I was gonna put an App up on the forums but I'd rather not just in case.

To better clarify your question, I think you can easily play a relative to an Agent, but you wouldn't know anything they know or know much about specific cases or whatnot.
But if you wanted to say like "My dad was an Agent for a while. He used to come home and cry a lot." then you can use that as an RP hook and whatnot if you like.

Yeah, that's sorta what I was aiming to get clarification on really for uh my Karaten guard. But that works just as well for me! Thank you!

Yep, no worries!

Super simple suggestion: can we get Holy Spark as a Style Seed for spell animations and intro regalias? Thanks!

So currently when another person uses a crafting table that you have claimed the system throws this: "System: You are now crafting for Cerulean-Eyed Merc. (Requested: Enchantment: Mirrored x1)" but no "You have successfully crafted  (Requested: X thing x1) for Alias".

Would be possible to have something to state that the crafting was completed/successful as a QoL? It would save people standing there without a clue if they've finished or not.

See title. Whenever Titan's Gale is used (tested only with ST), it will pass through any enemy along the way.

It would appear that Shared Pain that isn't splitting the damage of Twin Dance correctly, the second attack is not being reduced by 80%



I've pointed out the second hit, it splits the damage correctly on the initial target, but my youkai is taking the non-reduced damage of Twin Dance it would appear.

There also appear to be some discrepancies in the damage as a whole, so more debug information about Shared Pain would be appreciated, such as with armor values/reductions/tags.

Guidelines for Lore Questions
1) You are limited to one question per topic. You may ask follow-up questions related to your initial question provided they are mainly 'yes' or 'no' questions.  For instances where you are clarifying lore details, or for minor questions, it is recommended to ask in the #lore-questions Discord channel instead of in this thread.
2) Questions should avoid being overly specific when the topic is unknowns. (IE: Was anyone on Sigrogana ever killed with a spoon? Has there ever been a scandal involving a noble family on Kysei?) For this reason, it's best to ask questions pertaining to subjects that already have some establishment in the lore.
3) Avoid asking questions on the basis that you are trying to invalidate someone's RP or otherwise harrass them, etc. If you have concerns that someone may not be RPing properly, or has an outlandish concept, please take them to a GM in private.
4) Refrain from asking questions that have always been answered. Use the forum search function, view the lore compendium, or the wiki pages for the specific races (both on wikia and this site's wiki) to double check.
5) If you notice any contradictions in answers, you are welcome to point them out. Note that established lore may be rewritten as time passes based on necessity or desire.

Expectation For Answers
Questions may be answered at any time, but the general expectation is that all questions will be answered during the first week of the following month. Answers will be added to the lore compendium, which will be updated after the topic is closed.
