Welcome, 𝐿𝐴𝑌. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to award you the role of [𝑀𝑋. 𝐶𝑂𝑁𝐺𝐸𝑁𝐼𝐴𝐿𝐼𝑇𝑌].

Ariadne is terrifically one-of-a-kind, a personage that we know you have such tender care and kindness for, Lay. As someone who has experienced so many emotions through others — a secondhand haunting, an echo of a sentiment — they have sat in the chair as a psychiatrist, aimed with care and betterment of those around her. At the Foundation, her natural rapport extends beyond human understanding. Ariadne has a breadth of empathetic depth none can follow, meaning that she alone wades in that lonely profundity, mirrorless. Unable to see her own self. That tension of humanness and alienness of knowing the world around her but lost in her internal universe drives Ariadne's story; a conflict of how the self may be the greatest challenge to thoroughly and completely comprehend. With her proclivity for the good of all and how it has not always come to reward her, we are excited to see how they fare at Site-φ. We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Welcome, 𝐶𝐴𝑀𝐼𝐿𝐿𝐸. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to recognize you for the role of [𝐴𝑈 𝐹𝐴𝐼𝑇].

What is “inheritance?” What are we if not the descendants of our ancestors, DNA that streams from the pool? Vivien's grappling of her antecessors, especially her complex relationships regarding her father, mother, and brother drew us into the tangled roots of this family tree. A tree, replanted by the Foundation. Uprooted by Vivien herself after the rot her father caused. And though we may think that no one could ever find fault in those with the bravery to do the right thing, history shows us that the whistleblowers must also pay their sum of flesh. The themes expressed in your writing captivated us; can someone live in the Foundation's chiaroscuro when their morals are starkly black and white? And what are the costs — interpersonal, social, cultural — for pursuing and enacting justice? Vivien stands upon the gravestone of her family name, her unique dedication to principle ushering a new order within the Foundation. She is destined for succession, carved by her own two hands. We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Welcome, 𝐽𝑂𝑁. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to clear you for the role of [𝐻𝐼𝐺𝐻 𝐹𝐼𝐷𝐸𝐿𝐼𝑇𝑌].

Knowing that this was your first attempt at apping to this sort of game truly floored us, as this fact was not at all apparent in your application. The masterful way in which you crafted Steve’s personality and how fully realized he is as a character was quite frankly awe-inspiring. So much was said in what was left unsaid, in the minute mannerisms of a man so proficient at manipulation that catching him in a lie is a tremendous test in itself. The way that you explained both the experiment that lead to Steve’s downfall and the steps he took, and continues to walk, to clear his name left us hooked and dying to see how much further his ambition will take him... or, perhaps, how much further he might fall. We're so excited to explore the wonders and horrors of scientific endeavor at Steve's side. We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Hello, π. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to evoke you for the role of [𝑂𝐿𝐷 𝑆𝑃𝑂𝑅𝑇].

Well, what can I say other than thank you and love you, too. I am happy to have been allowed to tag along on this journey with you. The passion you brought to this project and your unwavering determination to make this game as polished as possible is what got us past the point of just brainstorming. Thank you so much for all the effort you have put into all of this; every single aspect of this rp was touched by your creative vision and I think you should be very proud of that! None of this could have happened without you and thank you for leading the charge every step of the way. Thank you for the countless sleepless night you worked to ensure everyone will have as much as fun as possible. We struggled so much at launch and then at the launch part 2: electric boogaloo so thank you so, so much for not giving up. And thank you for finding solution for all the minor hiccups and major setbacks we faced along the way and for finding hope when all seemed lost. I'm so excited to get to write with you and against your characters once more. I'm so happy that everyone gets to meet my favorite long guy, In-su. I can't wait for them to experience all the charming things about him and for them to fall in love with him just as I have. He is really is my absolute favorite out of the character that you've written and I will never stop being obsessed with him 💕 As always, I'm happy to collaborate with you and I am so grateful that you got me into writing in the first place. I would have never tried it before had it not been for you and I'm so grateful that you encouraged me to try even when I didn't have an confidence in my writing. Thank you for being by my side as I experience the ups and down of the rpc for the first time (and for better or for worse). 🥴 This has truly been some of the most fun experiences I've ever had had. I love every story and character I've gotten to write with you and the lovely people we've met along the way. And thank you for creating a space where we can explore the types of stories we want to tell and for finding like minded people to share this with. Love you always. — clow Pi, who dreamed the dream first!! There'd be no beginning without you, and we've come so far with you leading the way, organizing, imagining, and building, building, building - I'm absolutely, totally thrilled to see where you'll take us from here. You have the hands of a master wordsmith, the heart of a pal, and the mind of a mad genius. — gray

Welcome, 𝐻𝐴𝑅𝑃𝐸𝑅. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to scout you for the role of [𝑄𝑈𝑂𝑇𝐸 𝑈𝑁𝑄𝑈𝑂𝑇𝐸].

A Succinctly Candid Perspective. A Subtly Crafted Pretense. A Superbly Charismatic Person. Matias — “Loch” — is an amazing find for the Foundation, as well as for us reading your application. It is not lost on us that this role was one of the Foundation's newest acquisitions, and yet your take on him was so intimate, familiar to us. The thorough rapport one feels for a relationship spanning years, every quip so quotable. Loch’s vision, a most singular scope found in his story, elevated him to gleeful heights. Where that zest for anomalies comes from is removed from just fantastical fancy. There is real love in there, protective and strong for the causes he believes in and the people he adores. Really, an absolute treat of an app. We’d let him hack our mainframe any day. Please don’t, though. We need that. We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Welcome, 𝐶𝐻𝐴𝑌𝑌𝐴. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to deploy you for the role of [𝐿𝐼𝑉𝐸 𝑊𝐼𝑅𝐸].

While Nadia’s as sharp as any blade in her armory, she seems to be letting her formerly polished career — and what little life she has, outside the Foundation — go to rust. Her acerbic wit corrodes every edge she brings to bear, revealing a bone-deep disillusionment with the institution she's served so keenly. But where is she meant to find justice for the tragedy that sent her spiraling? Who is at fault? The Foundation who lead them down that path, or is it her hands on the knife, again, always? What happens if both are true? Your app delicately picks at Nadia’s armor, cracking open the iron maiden that’s bleeding her dry to share what she struggles to see: that she’s more than her mourning, or her mistakes. How desperately will she chase the end of guilt, though? And who should ultimately face the punishment? We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Welcome, 𝐷𝐸𝐿. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚛 is pleased to select you for the role of [𝐵𝑂𝑅𝑁 𝐴𝐺𝐴𝐼𝑁].

What makes up the foundation of the self? Is it one's memories, a deep history record etched across the surface of a mind? Or something profound, unknowable, and unachievable to those deemed inhuman? The anthropocentric perspective believes only humans have codified history, lineage, evolution, and survival. Yet this viewpoint is as limiting as it is egotistical in its conclusion. A boundary forged and hotly guarded by those unwilling to question the status quo that places humans neatly on top of the social hierarchy? In Nat, we ask ourselves, "What makes a person a person?" and, "Who gets to decide who deserves personhood and who does not?" And how do we, from a human perspective, come to understand the behaviors and desires of those who are unlike us? We are so excited to see how these themes unfold. We are so incredibly happy to invite you into the Foundation.

Hello, 𝐶𝐿𝑂𝑊. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙴𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚜 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚎 is pleased to anoint you for the role of [𝑆𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑇𝐻 𝑂𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐴𝑇𝑂𝑅].

So, where do I start except that I love you? We've always been great collaborators, but I knew this task was a daunting challenge and called on you for so, so much. I wanted my return adminning a game for the rpc to be thoughtful, passionate, and always, sincere. These are epitomes of what I always find in you. And truth be told, I did not expect this little what-if exercise we invoked during our chat would grow and develop into what we have now. Probably the reason why I didn't expect it was because I didn't account for you wanting to be my side through it all. But you did, and I couldn't be any more humbled by your breadth of knowledge for the world we've chosen to inhabit these muses, your careful considerations of what this world means to us and everyone we want to invite in, and of course, your exceptional writing, emotive and so, so moving. I made this world for Gael. It's the same selfish reason I have for everyone I accept in the game (oh, to showcase their talents! to tell the world, "please, I need you to acknowledge what I see, because it's just beautiful.") I feel in exponentially when it comes to you. I'm sorry! Please allow me to be this self-serving, just this once! (Sorry I'm so cringe, I don't care! I love caring!) I have no fandoms anymore except this singular man with so much on his shoulders!! How charismatic his sad big brown eyes are!!! Jesting (not jesting) aside, I know you’ve given incredible amount of thought and care to him, just as you do for everyone else, and I cannot wait for others to see the heart that enlivens your creative works. Thank you for giving it your all with making the arcane lore as accessible as you could. That meant hours of poring through countless pages to summate thousands of peoples' vastly different ideas, policies, and viewpoints. Thank you for shining the skeletons, polishing Gray's and my drafts 'til they gleamed with Foundation Approval™️. Thank you for staying up late with me, in both of our timezones, helping me through the highs and lows of an rp launch. Being in my corner as I had childish little tantrums about 'Dobe locking me out of PS because they're a greedy yucky corp, or when I was so heartbroken about our not one, but two shadowbans. Mind you, this is a lot to handle for someone who is adminning for the first time ever. (Please everyone reading this, please give Clow his flowers, he deserves a big bouquet.) Thank you so, so much. I know I would not have made it this far, or even have started, without you and Gael. You're my companion wherever we go; I hope this adventure will be one that will be fulfilling for you as it has been for me. So where do I finish except that I love you, haha. — π

From taking on the daunting task of leading this wild team to your max-level lore mastery, you've been the strong and steady right hand to sculpt Pi's vision into this project we're all about to enjoy! It's been a joy to while away these odd hours tag-teaming replies and powering through to bring Foundationhq together. You're a true architect, and I can't wait to see what you and Gael build on the dash. —gray
