Question about power caps! :)

If a character's body has a semi skill (increased strength, stamina, agility) and a heightened metabolism, would those be things they need to earn throughout the game or would they be a basic skill they could come in with?

Disregard, my question I've found my answer through much digging :)

[kyriakosmods]

Haha! That's fine, but if you ever have anymore questions please don't be afraid to ask!

Yoo I'm wondering if a character needs medication for any health issues, how does that work? Would their item they bring with them need to be a bottle of those pills that automatically refills for them, or will the castle take care of that?

[kyriakosmods]

There are two options!

You could have the health issues be a skill that need to be regained, therefore meaning that you don't have to worry about it. If they haven't regained the memories needed by the time the skill happens you could have them instinctually know what they need.

Or, you could start out with a medicine bottle labeled with what they need and they can get ongoing quests (like take care of the garden on a daily basis) from a Patron Echo or Echoes in general if the team doesn't have a Patron.

It's up to you and what you think would be most fun/easiest to play with in the end, though!

[scrapthis]

Thank you!

Since his medicine is directly tied to him having a certain ability, I'll tie the memory/need to take the medication with that? And then he can earn his medication by working? Would something like that be okay?

[kyriakosmods]

Did you mean skill? You could actually tier things if you'd like to stretch the skill registry since those tend to be smaller than memory registries most of the time (but not all of the time since all characters are different). But yes, that sort of thing is totally fine! \o

[scrapthis]

YES I DID MEAN SKILL and awesome, that's the way I'll do this. Meaning that Aoba's item that he's bringing with him will be his headphones.

Thank you so much again!

[kyriakosmods]

No problem, I'm glad that I could help!

[onebullet]

Hi! If the item I was planning to bring in had my character's rank and name on it, would the name still be there or would it be myseriously erased?

[kyriakosmods]

The name and rank would still be there, but unless they had their starter memory telling them their name, they wouldn't have any significance to it or necessarily realize it was theirs.

THIS IS A REALLY DUMBAWFUL QUESTION but I have been stalking and wondering, how long does a person have to be in the game before they can app an Echo? And could someone app one even if they're still waiting in the queue?? XD;;

[kyriakosmods]

That's not dumb at all!

It's fine to play an Echo without having a character in the game or if there is a character in the queue. We actually have a case like that now—Barghest's patron does not currently have a character in game, but she does have a character in the queue.

[dirtydoll]

I AM THOROUGHLY DELIGHTED BY THIS ANSWER, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[gleamer]

Question, do you have a limit on how young a character can be to join? Also, are we able to age up a character?

[kyriakosmods]

We currently don't have a limit on age, but we'd still like it if people kept the game tone in mind if they decide to app someone that's younger since things like death and maiming can and will happen! So even if the character is younger, please make sure that they could cope with the situations.

As for aging up a character, only if it happens in canon. You can either start them at the age up if that's a thing in canon, or you can start them as younger and make their age up a skill!

We hope that answers your questions. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

QUESTION (i don't know if this is a thing that was already looked over, i haven't been able to find it/i don't remember my brain is mush)

do hiatus'd people need to make full AC? if not, then how long must a hiatus be in order to qualify for this AC exemption & how many comments must one make for this hiatus-AC combo?

[kyriakosmods]

Sorry for the belated response! A hiatus should be three weeks in order to qualify for AC exemption and it can be 20 comments instead of 40 comments generally. However, if you are going to be gone that long, please shoot us an email so we can talk it out since longer hiatuses are probably going to be more case-by-case because we want to work with you and figure out what might be most comfortable with you.

[mrr]

okay, thank you! this isn't going to happen anyway, i was asking out of academic curiosity but 'u'/

[glorifiedtrash]

The game's been open a few months (half a year I think actually); would it be possible to get information on good ends soon?

[kyriakosmods]

Good ends are not going to be available just yet! We were planning on opening them once the game hit the nine month point, but along with that, the game hitting nine months won't mean that all characters will be able to have the good end option immediately.

A specific character has to hit nine months before they will be eligible for a good end, although it won't be impossible to apply early -- however, in the case someone applies early, we will take it on a case-by-case basis.

We will release more details about this process when we come closer to the nine month point of the game, so please sit tight! We aren't able to give you more solid information at this point in time.

[unguilded]

I was gonna come here and reference the good end thing for my question so it's awesome to see that someone asked about them already.

BUT my question was! Are you planning to do something as an alternative to good ending for characters who hit their mem-regaining end but want to stay in play, like Legacies?

[kyriakosmods]

Unfortunately, due to the mechanics of the game, a legacy option won't be available. However, we have considered the possibility of 'duds', so to speak -- not that they'd be duds, but they would be considered little extra bits of soul that need to be filled out still.

[tearsofademon]

Hi!

Say I was hoping to app a character (not this one, the one I'm thinking of just doesn't have a journal yet) who has a familiar spirit attached to his soul who has a personality and opinions but is a vital piece of this character's soul due to soul shenanigans in their universe. Would it be okay to treat this familiar spirit as a skill?

[kyriakosmods]

That would be fine, yes!

[unguilded]

Thank you! I ASK BECAUSE I am one of those one-trick ponies and would supes be interested in sticking around until an end game in some way with my character if any kind of similar option was ever available. I have a load of memories for that reason in the meantime so I'm not anywhere near that though lmao. JUST TRYING TO BE FARSIGHTED.
