Registration—

§ invites vs. public registration.

As this game was initially a private, invite only game, we still continue with the invitation system and allow current players to invite their friends to join at any time. However, we also want to allow others outside our circle to have fun with us, so we've opened up the game to the public.

Public registration is only open for certain periods and there is a 20 slot limit with a 1 character per player and 4 character per canon cap. These restrictions can be lifted depending on how much traffic we actually get, but this is the default safeguard. Public registration will only be open after a campaign has been completed.

It should be noted that none of these restrictions apply to current players and those with invitations. Both groups can register at any time and do not have to worry about the character canon cap during registration cycles. Thus it's possible to have 5 characters in a canon enter if 4 are from public and 1 from an invite. Just keep in mind there is an overall cast cap of 10 and claims will have preference.

Current players, there is a character limit of 4 per player. While anyone can bring in 2 characters at the start, you must have been active in the game and participated in some way in a campaign for two months for the third, and then another two months for the fourth. Please contact us so that we can check to see if you satisfy the requirements.



§ step one: what to do.

Whether you have an invite code or part of the public registration round, you need to do the following first to make sure you understand the game's rules and setting:

  1. Read the Rules, Game Info, and World Info;
  2. Check the Character Roster and Essence List to make sure nothing is taken;
  3. Participate in the current Workshop and Test Drive as they serve as our "application" form (note: toplevels alone or tagouts are satisfactory);
  4. Make a Claim when it opens to ensure a public registration slot;
  5. Have an invite code if you're going that route.

To get an invite, simply ask any of the players you know already in game. Current players will follow set directions, receive the code, and then give it to you. Take a screenshot of the exchange and continue on to Step 2! If you do not know anyone in game, then you will have to wait for the public registrations to open.



§ step one: fill the form.

Once you've done all of the above, fill out the following form and comment to this entry. The mods will respond to give the "A-OK" or request any changes. One comment per character.

Player: Name
Age:
Contact: Primary means of contact
Current Characters: For current players only

[Invite only:]
Referral: Player in game who referred you
Invite Code: Link of code screenshot

Character: Character you plan on bringing in
Canon: Canon and canon point
Age: (of the character)
Workshop: Link to workshop
Test Drive: Link to TDM thread(s)

Essence: Storybook character you will be claiming
Essence Gains: Give a brief description of the finalized version of what kinds of abilities the character will be gaining or inheriting from their essence. It doesn't have to be exhaustive and you can always add more once in game, but at least give us an idea of what we should expect. REMEMBER: characters lose all of their canon abilities and weapons upon entering.
Quirk: OPTIONAL! If your character is gaining a personality quirk based off the Essence, list it here! Remember they can only have one quirk.

Questions: Any questions you might have




§ step three: await mod confirmation.

More likely than not you'll be confirmed. If you are, congratulations! Follow the directions in the comment and have fun. You should receive notice within 24 hours. If you do not receive any reply after 48 hours, PM the mod journal!


Registration OPEN to Invitations and Current Players.
Public Registration is CLOSED until further notice!

Essence: Sweet Porridge Girl (Sweet Porridge)
Essence Gains: Kotori’s main benefit from her essence is being able wield a magical cooking pot. In addition, her already naturally massive appetite and metabolism are heightened even more whenever the pot overflows.

Questions: Who would’ve predicted I’d be writing up specs for a magical cooking pot?

Character: Roxas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Age: 16 appearance-wise, 2 actual
Character Bio: (optional: Roxas's page on KHWiki.) See Workshop!

Essence: The Little Mermaid | The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson
Essence Gains: His most notable gain is his merman’s tail. While submerged in water, everything from the waist down becomes that of a dolphin’s, with cool grey skin and small dorsal fin. He has this tail for as long as he is submerged or in contact with water; if he becomes completely dry, his tail reverts into human legs. He can be out of water for a total of three days before every step causes excruciating pain, and he loses his voice. He will need to spend some time in the water recovering if he gets to this point. In addition to this, he can breathe underwater and his singing voice is suffused with magic, and with practice he can learn enchantments and other magic spells that can be cast by singing.

Appearance-wise, Roxas will be gaining webbed ears and sharper teeth, which is evident both in human form and in merman form. A quirk he will gain from coming here will be that he will find himself humming or singing to himself more often.

Questions: I put in the time limit on how long he can stay out of the water, so he has a reason to do long travel and isn’t too restricted, while giving him a reason to remain in the water. Does the time limit seem reasonable, or too long/too little? Thanks, and if there are any other concerns, just let me know!

Character: Rokurou Rangetsu
Canon: Tales of Berseria; post series
Age: 22
Character Bio: See Workshop

Essence: Huntsman | Little Red Riding Hood
Essence Gains: Weapons wise, he'll be able to recreate his swords, although they'll look a little different. Like the fact that they're going to be gunblades. Short sword pistols and greatsword rifle. His malevolence will be contained within himself so that won't really come into play other than just existing. His daemon eye will also remain, but it will be playing a vital part in his enhanced tracking abilities thanks to his essence. Aside from general tracking, he'll also be able to follow blood trails, either by sight or scent. Finally, he'll be very honed in on wolves as he will be inheriting his essence's distaste for them. Other than that, he'll be able to recreate most of his artes, but he'll have to modify his Form artes a bit with his main elements focusing on fire and earth. He'll have some other smaller gains, like knowing his way through forests and being able to identify more natural things like what would be safe to eat and stuff, but nothing really too noteworthy or anything he couldn't learn outside of his essence. Just lots of nature outdoorsy hunting skill related things.

Questions: Why am I doing this.

Character: Himawari Kunogi
Canon: xxxHolic Chapter 175
Age: 17
Character Bio: (Wiki.) Himawari is a young woman who has lived her life hiding a secret. Her very existence brings bad luck to others. Be it simply stubbing their toe or completely going insane, she has caused the bad luck of almost everyone who has come in some form of contact either physical or emotional. Because of this she has been a very friendly but closed off girl. Only her parents were immune to her bad luck. That is until she met Domeki and Watanuki. Domeki for some reason is immune and helps keep others from her bad luck. Watanuki is her best friend and someone she cares about greatly. Because of Domeki, Watanuki can be safe from her bad luck.

Because of her bad luck problem she tends to close off from people in one way, yet she's still friendly and somewhat open in other ways. She's a good person who lies to protect people. She doesn't want to lie but if it comes down to hurting a friend and saying she's busy when she's not, she will.

Essence: Big Bad Wolf | Red Riding Hood
Essence Gains: I would like to give Himawari the essence of the Big Bad Wolf because I feel like he had terrible luck with Red, that and I think it's just adorable that such a sweet girl gets a bad character. She will hair big wolf ears and a bushy black tail, with the ability to grow claws as needed. With a pair of granny specs/glasses she can glamour the ears and tail away, but they are still there. Always there. She will be able to shift into a wolf form at will, which will be a big black sleek furred wolf. She will have heightened senses like a wolf; sight, smell, hearing especially.

Because the Huntsmen put stones inside the wolf in the story, Himawari can imbue her bad luck into stones! Small or large, she can toss away her bad luck or use it as she wishes. A red glow of energy shows she's transferred the bad luck to it, to which she can use it to curse objects or even people. In order to keep people safe she has to toss away her bad luck, but that means someone MIGHT stumble onto it. Whoops.

A small quark is that any time she tries to sleep, if she's not wearing her granny night dress, she will have bad dreams about hunters, red riding hood, grannies and wolves. So long as she puts on the granny dress, she will sleep soundly! It's embarrassing but sleep is important and no one is going to see her anyhow!

Canon: Durarara!!; year gap between end of vol. 13 and beginning of SH
Age: 26
Character Bio: See Workshop

Essence: Frankenstein's Monster | Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
Essence Gains: For the most part his essence is going to allow him to use his full strength again, and he'll mainly be using his fists to fight. But he will be able to summon a giant shovel to use as a weapon along with an assortment of screws and nails that can come in varying sizes depending on his anger levels (angrier he is, the larger and stronger they are). His main element will be lighting, and he'll actually discharge some the angrier he gets. If he reaches a certain threshold or is actually struck by electricity or lightning, he'll go into a kind of "overcharge" berserk mode where he'll be at his strongest and just go off in a blind rage. However, it'll last for a very short period of time like 30 secs to a minute absolute max, and at the end of it he'll be completely exhausted if not entirely knocked out. So it's like an ultimate final finish type of deal. His weakness will be fire and ice, so those will do considerable more damage.

Questions: Why do I make myself suffer.

Character: Edna
Canon: Tales of Zestiria (Endgame)
Age:shrugemoji 1,500 - 2,000-ish
Character Bio: (Wiki.) Edna is a Seraphim, a type of spirit that exists alongside the elements; of which she aligns with earth. She has a matching rocky personality on the outside, allowing herself to appear harsh and apathetic. But deep down she has a vulnerable core shape by the absence of her brother in large chunks of her life and the loneliness that followed. She's not the most expressive emotionally, but she feels it even when she doesn't show it. She's outwardly tough and doesn't like making others worry about her, so she typically keeps her pains to herself. She doesn't want to be worried for or considered a burden. And she hates to be ignored. What she wants more than anything is to save her brother-- and secondly, to see the world beyond the mountains that she had mostly been tied to in her brother's absence, and then later his return as a dragon.

Essence: Rapunzel | Rapunzel
Essence Gains:
- Hair: Edna will be getting Rapunzel's long hair. While not as long as Rapunzel's yet, it has the same beautiful quality and strength.
- Voice of Gold: A beautiful voice is what reunites the prince and Rapunzel when they've been seperated.
- Healing Tears: Rapunzel's tears healed the prince's eyes, which had been blinded by thorns.

Questions: None at this time.

Character: Reaper | Gabriel Reyes
Canon: post Masquerade
Age: 58
Character Bio: (optional: Wiki.) A super soldier who was also once a war hero and commander of a black ops division turned mercenary working with a terrorist organization. Now he seems wholly fueled by revenge against those he once trusted and fought beside for a deeply felt betrayal. Reaper is merciless, calm, and calculating, or at least appears that way when on a mission. There appears to be very little of the man he was once before, but there may be more to it than simply that.

Before he was Reaper, he was Gabriel Reyes, a man extremely loyal to his friends and those he fought beside. Believing in the cause and getting what needed to be done no matter what. A man who enjoyed Halloween and any celebration that involved masks and costumes, and even a fan of sports. Worked hard and gave his all, even if it meant making the hard decisions when he felt no one else could, or should. Joking with his agents and friends, even if his humor was a little dry or punny.

He has the ability to turn into some shadowy smoke and even teleport, absorbing the life force of those he deals damage to in order to heal himself. Even without the wraith-like abilities he's an extremely competent fighter, trained military, knowing his way around weapons and hand to hand. A superior strength due to the Super Solider program, genetically altered to take more and hit harder, amongst some other things.

Essence: La Lachuza | Folklore of La Lachuza/La Lachuza Bruja
Essence Gains: Since it is the essence of a witch, Reaper will of course be inheriting some magical abilities, such as shape-shifting in to the form of a large black demonic-sort-of barn owl. He will also be able to conjure up storms, severity likely depending on intent an his control over learning how to use it. For a quirk he will be craving raw meat, the fresher the better, and may or may not be inclined to.. take children(in a "this is now mine" way, rather than actual kidnapping, just to take advantage of his inclination to take in "strays" as it were).

Weapon-wise he'll mainly have very sharp "talons" making him lean more towards being the close-quarters combatant that he prefers to be anyway. Most of his magic will lay heavily in shadows, and perhaps some more "generic" sort of things I've yet to make solid.

Appearance-wise he may have a pair of wings hidden under the cloak he will have, along with much sharper teeth(all the better for eating raw meat) and other appearance alterations just to have some fun with it.

Questions: Why was I allowed to do this?

As Hyde, his strength is enhanced, with minor healing factor (heal minor injuries), his eyes turn yellow and are slit (Reflecting the mask he wears as the Disciple), gain fangs and pointed ears, giving him this more demonic appearance. Side effects include getting emotionally unstable at times and gaining an addiction if/once he actually kills someone.

Age: 17
Character Bio: (Wiki.) Also a blurb is on the workshop.

Essence: Jack | Jack and the Beanstalk
Essence Gains: He will gain several magic beans on each day, with multiple functions. When consumed, one bean will cause him to grow a beanstalky arm in place of his missing arm (as well as replacements if something happens to that arm), and it will grant him limited powers to shoot out vines and such. He can also plant magic beans in the earth to grow beanstalks of varying sizes or beanstalky swords. The more beans he uses for a given thing, the larger/more powerful it will be, but his supply of them is limited so he'll have to think carefully about how to use them. Also I guess he'll have rad beanstalk-climbing skills?

In terms of personality, he'll start to wear more green, he'll have a strong attachment to his cow, and he'll also have more of a compulsion to snatch treasure when on adventures even against his better judgement.

Questions: Why.

Age: 9

Essence: Red Riding Hood | Little Red Riding Hood
Essence Gains:

Abilities- Red was able to see through the wolf's disguise so let's generalize that. Ib will be able to see a person's true form, even when disguised by mundane or magical means. And because a huntsman just happening by right after you and granny have been devoured is just so unlikely, the red cape is a good luck charm, and will cause helpful things to happen when she's in trouble. (alerting nearby allies, causing some kind of distraction for enemies, letting her stumble on the perfect hiding place when she's fleeing, etc)

Quirks- She'll have a newfound fear of dogs and wolves, and be oddly attached to the red hooded cape she's wearing.

- Apples & Combs: Combing his hair with a comb is liable to make him very sleepy and maybe even pass out; likewse, apples have a 50:50 chance to make him excessively drowsy as well.

Character: Varian
Canon: Tangled: the Series | post-Great Expotations, pre-Queen for a Day
Age: 14
Character Bio:
Varian is intelligent and extroverted, and highly gifted in the field of alchemy as well as general mechanics in a form that is very advanced for his time period. He's eager, in everything he does, but particularly when it comes to doing things that he hopes make his father proud. He's very insecure about whether or not his father takes pride in him.

Still, even with these insecurities, Varian can be cocky. He makes unsafe assumptions while working on his inventions. This is also in part due to his eagerness, once again, to prove that he's good at what he does. For all Varian's cleverness and willingness to socialize, he tends to overlook basic things in both his inventions and his social interactions.

Socially, Varian sometimes gets too excited. He gets excited about things in general, very much so, but the socially he comes on very strong and can get too caught up the potential for science and/or a new friend to rein in his exuberance. The mistakes and miscalculations he makes in his hurry to execute his inventions and help Old Corona village, are also at times made in his haste to make a good impression.

He's a gentle boy (at this point in canon); one of Varian's early inventions involved humanely getting rid of the animal pests in Old Corona. He's very curious about the world around him and loves to learn. And while Varian may come on too strong with his infatuation with Cassandra, he is never disrespectful of her beyond calling her a nickname she'd prefer he not use. He can recognize the boundaries she needs, showing that despite being a bit socially awkward, he's got some notable emotional intelligence for a fourteen year old.

Varian is a kid who's always trying his best, and usually putting that effort in to impress someone, be it his dad, who he thinks sees him as a screw-up, or friends like Eugene or Cassandra, who he wants to view him as more than a "kid".

Essence: The Master Cat | Charles Perrault's The Master Cat (also known as Puss in Boots, in both cases)
Essence Gains:
- Cat Tail: Most immediately notable will be the fluffy, cream-colored feline tail Varian will be arriving with. I mean... He already wears boots.
- Chasing Rodents: Varian will find himself oddly distracted by small rodents and similar animals, like rabbits, to the point where he feels a need to chase them that will be very difficult - sometimes impossible - to shake.
- Claws: He will also, if permissible, arrive with a single set of clawed brass knuckles, in reference to The Master Cat's great skill with catching mice in his claws, and his successful threat of "My good fellows, if you do not tell the king that all this grain belongs to the Marquis of Carabas, you shall be chopped up like mincemeat."

Pearl is a founding member of the Crystal Gems, an alien group rebelling against their Homeworld.

Essence: Abe No Seimei | Konjaku Monogatarishū
Essence Gains:
•••• Generic healing abilities
•••• Holy-like onymoji/exorcism/light-based abilities, divination (with permission), reading fortunes/luck, transfiguration
•••• Able to control lesser monsters/oni (according to legend, anyway), talking to animals
•••• Seimei was also half kitsune, so she'll have some physical attributes from that, like being able to withstand greater physical damage, more endurance, speed, and strength, and a minor healing factor. Since Seimei didn't have any tails or ears in the kitsune fashion, she will not have them either. But she'll suddenly have a fondness for fried tofu and donning disguises.

Character: Alfyn Greengrass
Canon: Octopath Traveler (post-chapters but not fully post-endgame)
Age: 21
Character Bio: (Wiki.) Alfyn is a cheery, good-natured, down-to-earth apothecary who chose to travel the continent and help anyone and everyone he could. He doesn't charge for his work. His potions and poisons are a little rough around the edges but he puts his whole heart into everything and he's a big bear of reassurance in any crisis. (He's built like a lumberjack and his "weapon of choice" is an axe, actually.) Warm-hearted and friendly to a fault, what he wants most in life is to help people out and see them healthy and living good lives, and he has a tendency (it's his game mechanic skill!) to disarm you with words and put you at ease enough to share things about yourself; he really does care about all those things! He also loves a good story and a good drink, and I have no idea how he affords the latter at all.

Essence: Johnny Appleseed | Johnny Appleseed
Essence Gains: So Alfyn's canon "abilities" (that aren't just based in knowledge of plants and stuff) are Big Axe Usage, an ice spell, a bit of a healing spell, and being Insufferably Chatty. I figure he can eventually pick up an axe somewhere in-world but what I played around with on the TDM was his natural affinity for making people feel at ease and finding out stuff about them translates through his essence into trees kind of doing the same - moving a bit to accommodate him or closing their branches as shelter from the rain or etc. Also, if he drops or throws away any sort of apple that still has seeds in it (or just the seeds), an apple tree grows where they land. Like right then. It's just a baby tree but who knows?

Eventually he'll figure out he can still make ice but it appears in the shape of an apple. Every time. Complete with tiny stem and decorative leaf!

Questions: I hope he can just kind of learn in-game of similar plants etc. that are around in the stories that he could use to keep apothecarryin' on?

Character: 9S
Canon: Nier: Automata, Ending E (via Ending D)
Age: ~3 years old
Bio Blurb: WIKI... heavy spoilers within!

9S (YoRHa Unit No. 9, Type S) is a Scanner-type android and member of YoRHa, an elite fighting force for humanity against the Aliens and Machines in the 14th Machine War in the year 11945. He is an exceptionally advanced model that specializes in hacking and intelligence-gathering. He is programmed to feel a deep love for humanity. He is kind, helpful, curious, and unusually emotional for a YoRHa android -- which means he isn't afraid to complain, either. His drive to gather intelligence sometimes drives him to pursue leads at great risk. He is proud of his capabilities as an advanced model, which can also be his downfall. He invests all of himself into his relationships and his role; as such, he can be extremely hostile toward the enemies that threaten them.

A NOTE ON HIS ABILITIES since he a robot made to be ridiculous: 9S possesses sufficient strength to handle his own weight (286 lbs) with ease. He can launch into an extreme sprint on a dime (I'm guesstimating 25 mph, it's something stupid fast like that) and sustain it indefinitely, as well as jump long distances. His body can endure long falls: say 5 stories safely, 10 with some damage, and 20 with extreme damage. His performance can be enhanced by inserting plug-in chips [somewhere mysterious on his body]. He is not made for combat, but has taught himself how to fight with a variety of weapons including swords, spears, and fists. He can use magnetic levitation to control his weapons and fling them around in combat as needed. More importantly, he excels at hacking: enemy Machines, databases, locks, other androids, even himself, he can hack nearly anything electronic. It's a heavily overpowered skill in his canon where everything is electronic. With his hacking, he can do anything as destructive as blow a target up, or as helpful as get rid of a virus. If his target is unaware, he can even seize control of it and manipulate it physically -- but he has shown no inclination toward doing so for anyone but enemy Machines.

He will inevitably begin to break down without proper maintenance. He can perform light maintenance on himself and nanomachines will heal minor injuries over time, but heavier damage and long-term repairs will need to be addressed in other ways.

Essence: The Scholar | The Shadow
Essence Gains: I would like for 9S's shadow to evolve over the course of the game! It could start out as acting independently of him (while still attached to him), then cooperating with him to do things like stretching out and manipulating things (if that's not too OP), forming a sword for him to use, becoming armor, and so on until it one day becomes unable to detach from him. The shadow would be susceptible to surrounding illumination (weak to the noon sun, strong when 9S is backlit, etc.) and capable of being injured. Maybe over time the shadow would still be able to function in limited form in poor lighting conditions. Eventually, I'd also like for the shadow to become sentient, go rogue, and for 9S to kill it but THAT'S A PLOT FOR THE FUTURE.

Questions: If 9S needed to replace any parts (bad circuitry, a fuel filter, etc.) would he able to find those parts anywhere in the setting? Or get magically healed idk?!?! Also I'd like to keep as much of 9S's canon abilities as possible, but I understand if anything needs to be nerfed!

A dull knife can suddenly become a sharp one if she tells it to be sharp, a rock can become as soft as a pillow if she tells it to be soft, a stick can become a magic wand capable of casting a type of magic she assigns it, etc. Additionally she can allure people with her words as well, able to coax them to follow her to a location of her choice. She can only use this on random NPCs, however, and not player characters.

Character: Velvet Crowe
Canon: Tales of Berseria; post-final fight
Age: 19
Character Bio: See Workshop

Essence: Big Bad Wolf | Red Riding Hood
Essence Gains: As the Wolf from RRH, she could actually fully transform into a slightly larger than average wolf (and unfortunately shred her clothing in the process, though will be able to learn to magically keep them from ripping). She'd have some heightened senses such as hearing, smell and sight. Also strength, speed and agility. None of these would be to the extreme but more of a slight boost than average people. She will be able to morph her left hand to look something like a werewolf's arm - claws included. Though she will have black wolf ears and tail all of the time - Velvet will have to get creative in hiding them. Malevolence wise, Velvet will just exude an air of negative feelings to those who might be sensitive to it. For weapons, she'll have her hidden boot blade but will have to reaquire her gauntlet one. Most of her artes are physical with hints of elemental, though I'll be nixing the elemental parts.

Questions: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

Essence: Issun-boshi | The Inch-High Samurai
Essence Gains: As Issun, she won't change terribly much in terms of basic appearance. She'll lose three of her four katanas, and will gain a magic wooden mallet. This mallet will let her change from her current height to 3cm and back again, as well as allow her to create small treasures she can sell for money, though creating objects can only be used once per day (because she'd ICly abuse it otherwise). Shrinking down will also magically turn her sword (or swords, whenever she gets additional ones) into a sewing needle, and will make it hard for her to get the attention of NPCs while tiny. She'll eventually track down another katana or similar sword, but will otherwise just start with one. Her Heavenly Eye ability will only be active when she's 3cm, to let her take bolder chances in battle while tiny without getting immediately splatted for it, to allude to Issun's immense bravery. Personality-wise, she'll be less likely to try to run from fights she believes she's outclassed in, but will still be apprehensive if it's something she feels she's way, way out of her league in.

Character: Eizen
Canon: Tales of Berseria/Zestiria, about 200 pre-Zestiria right after chomping down on a Lord of Calamity and getting dragon'd. Or getting dragon'd and chomping down on a Lord of Calamity. It's not clear which came first.
Age: Around 1800 years old
Character Bio: Wiki

Essence: Davy Jones (mixed in with some other sailing mythology)
Essence Gains: Well, for starters, he'll be able to swim without his floaty. Otherwise, Eizen will be able to summon a small localized tidal wave (a few gallons, tops) and with some practice will be able direct and shape it enough so that he can avoid getting wet if he wants to. He will also be able to weaponize his own Reaper's Curse in a much more direct way; basically, he can damn somebody and give them some really nasty bad luck. This bad luck only works for the next attack or roll or whatever he's damning them for, however, and he can't damn the same person more than once per day.

Also he can summon a ship provided he has a bundle of wood on hand (and is in an area that can hold the ship). At first it'll just be a really terrible raft, with a chance of getting upgraded, and there's a chance he won't summon anything but use up the wood instead. He'll always be able to summon booze of various sorts, however, though it's type and quality will vary with each summon. One time he'll call forth the finest aged whisky, the next time it's an ale that's "paint stripper" levels of awful.

He'll always know which way true north is, never seems to get wet unless he wants to, and if he's standing in his tidal wave or another source of saltwater, he can look like an absofuckinglutely horrifying mix of a kraken, a dragon, and some nameless horror ala an umibozu. It only lasts for a few seconds and doesn't grant him any powers other than looking terrifying.

Questions: I'm assuming Eizen's bad luck domain is still active here, just way less likely to end in daemons or death and with a smaller area of effect?
