    @hannahrenner @rustedknight @ethan-leonard @ragnarok (robots taking over the world is so accurate Alessio would say that without even knowing what robots were…)

    LOL That is really cool, although… Con would actually be in “Guys, we need to find food, shelter, and good water!”

    I love how Leana’s and Alessio’s first reactions are both like “Save the food!!!! Climb under a table or something for shelter!!” 😂😂😂

    Could I bring in someone else? 🙃

    And if yes… which rooms/people would you like them to be dropped with..?

    Sure, feel free to drop another character in. I’m sure Arsene would love someone else he could annoy.

    I feel like if you were to drop another character in, it would be best to chose Alessio’s group, because they’re having the human/non-human talk. Plus, if you drop a character in the other group, you’ll be in the middle of a trial.

    So yeah, there’s that.

    Name: Ohel bar Oz bar Hezekiah

    Height: 6′ 1″

    Eyes: Brown, not too dark, not too light

    Hair: Brown, not too dark, not too light. Wavy. It’s long enough to get tangled, but doesn’t even reach the bottom of his neck. (His hair’s likely perfumed/oiled.)
    He has the starts of a beard, darker brown.

    Weapons: Will have a dagger, with a jeweled hilt, at his waist. He’s also a proficient swordsman, archer, and wrestler.

    Clothes: A white tunic, with embroidered edges, that comes just above his knees. A (male) kaftan over the top of that, royal blue, with gold and silver threads in it, embroidered on all the edges, that almost reaches his ankles. He wears sandals, fine leather, not a scuff on them.

    Miscellaneous: He’s muscular, in his arms, legs, and torso. His hands are callused, but not too much. His skin shines, from time in the sun, and fine oils.
    He has an easy smile, but it’s almost always a lie. Womanizer, but the gods are too, so he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Enjoys spiced wine, to drunkenness, often.

    Weakness: A younger sister he dearly loves. (Jael may actually be the only place he’s truly strong.)
    Also… his womanizing tendency… it’s caused a few scrapes with husbands…

    Hey, what if Lord Amnesia throws them all into one of our characters’ worlds at some point? That could develop how the characters acted in their own element and develop worldbuilding mechanics and everything!

    If anybody’s interested we could use a chart like this to introduce the world and then try to build from there?

     

    WORLD CHARACTER CHART TEMPLATE

    Name of World:

    Place/places they land in/could land in:

    Timeperiod [sci-fi, medieval fantasy, modern fantasy etc]:

    Landscape [ forests, towns, deserts etc]:

    Extra features [several moons, several suns, purples trees etc]:

     

    Is there magic:

    Is magic accepted:

    Are there powers or worldbuilding quirks that aren’t considered magic:

    Are they accepted:

     

    Three common fantasy animals characters might bump into:

    1.

    2.

    3.

     

    Natural phenomenon(s) that might be problematic:

    Non-human races:

     

    Miscellaneous:
