Занимаюсь любимым персом своего парня

The warnings her mother screamed at her when she was younger are telling her to do the exact opposite. Under no circumstances should you let a spirit free! But Willow was serious, and this is what they came for. So she cancels her spell and watches as black mist seeps out of the cracks and the form of a spirit takes shape.

It stops emerging at its waist, like it's stuck, but its form solidifies. If not already strange enough, the spirit wasn’t wrapped in bindings like she’s used to. At least, it’s face isn’t. Amity can tell it used to have dark hair braided into a long ponytail. One of its ears was cropped in half, the left having no point in sight.

The spirit looks young, around the twin’s age. Spectral as it was, the uncovered face showed an array of emotions, fear, shock, confusion, until Willow uttered its name.

“Rehan?”

The spirit blinks and looks down at Willow, who’s holding the crystal ball with care. It opens its mouth then shuts it quickly. Wrapped hands reach up to its lips in shock, it gathers its composure and furrows its brow.

“Y-you said my name.” Rehan states.

@urbanbirdbud Has once again outdone themselves I’ve been clawing at the bars of my enclosure for 16 hours seeing their completed art of Rehan (and Saix) in their living form and spirit forms!

Y'all like were-folk? Y'all like TTRPGs? Y'all like characters struggling to choose between their humanity and the siren-song of the beast?

You want to play as that character?

Then look no further: The Beast Within has gone to crowd-fund! It is 34% of the way there and with 44 days left, I think we can do it.

You can get game, NPC book, and enemy stats for $45 (each is $15), or pledge as low as $2 to get your name in the credits.

Hi! Thanks for your question!

The most important thing to note is that the Rehan System was originally an Earthen colony (which is a detail that's become more solidified the more the plot is clearing up in my own notes). By the time technology advanced enough for the Inner Circle to start taking permanent residents, the medical advancements that allowed humans to sustain life-threatening injuries were just starting to be sold. The Contest's first "season" was a test run of the tech, but once it proved to be successful, the tech was revealed to the public (specifically those who could afford to be brought back from the brink of death), and the Contest with it, now rebranded as a celebration of how far humanity had come.
