Angsts your LoSAs

Finally after taking entirely too long i introduce the first human of the project, ME! hahahahahahah Fret not though, while Creepen may be a part of this i am by no means it's protagonist, you'll meet her soon enough.

This will serve as an introduction to Creepen as a character, and to me as a person. Creepen is a Prospit Lord of Time(whose extended zodiac is PIRIST by the by) and the group skeptic. a guy a little too concerned with how he’s perceived, plagued by chronic headaches, and cursed with a mean resting bitch face. Despite it all, he means well and can be quite the goofball. He rarely takes things seriously, sometimes to a detrimental degree, and often sabotages his own intelligence or integrity if he thinks it will earn a good laugh.

He also feels compelled to list off all his flaws to prove he’s worthy of being part of the narrative, as if to reassure readers that he isn’t receiving any special treatment. He is incredibly impatient, gives up easily, and is difficult to convince of anything he doesn't witness for himself. He has a habit of making others around him feel stupid, even though he does not think of himself as particularly smart. He knows how to play the drums but has not touched a kit in over nine years. At this point, he feels he should probably list off a few good traits to balance things out but admittedly he's coming up blank.

Oh yeah, right, he can skateboard. He knows a few simple tricks, but he’d never vert off anything taller than himself. He’s kind of wondering if this is going on for too long, and that maybe he should mention something cooler, like how he has a parasite for a tail. A dead parasite. Its corpse, when it was less… that, had attempted to graft itself onto him and, in a bid to take control of his body, died, leaving its physical form permanently fused with him. Despite this, its body remains functional to an extent and now acts as an extension of his own. His land is LOGAS(Land of Glass and Sand) and his consorts are Thorny Devils.

He uses the Mood Modus, a Modus that links every stored item to a specific emotional state. To retrieve said item, he must first embody the corresponding mood. For example, a sword might only become accessible when he is angry.

Powerful enough emotions may cause an ejection from the Modus, and a keen eye can kind of always tell what he might be feeling at any given moment due to it.

hell yes :) :) :) When there’s active development, stuff will show up first in the experimental branch as we work the kinks out. But since we’re putting effort into SBURBSim 2 (i.e. the general purpose story engine I’m working on in LOSAS) it hasn’t gotten a lot of love lately,so the two branches are the same.  There’s an experimental branch for just about everything I do (I just don’t normally advertise it because usually what’s in there is a half finished game). Actually, let me use this an excuse to ramble about the Land of Storytelling and Sorcery real quick.

It’s hella alpha, but it already has a lot of the features we WANTED for SBURBSim but it was way too entrenched to sanely get.

Things like full DollSim support. (Yes that includes faces).

 And things like limited two panel animations.

Plus we have simple background music, a fully modular AI system. It’s fun :) It’s more graphics heavy than SBURBSim, so it defaults to having a “homestuck”-esque panel viewport, but once the simulation is over you can view it in “big stupid pile” mode which is nice for sharing.

The basic system we’re gearing up for is having “scenarios” such as SBURB, Hogwartz, Gem Society, Alternia, Segundia, Star Trek AU, etc, you know: basic frameworks for what to expect from a story.  Then we’re gonna have you define the dolls for all characters in the story.   Once you got the look and feel you want, its a matter of picking different traits the scenario has to give to each character.

As an example,  SBURB Scenario will have Traits like Mind, Knight, Derse, Goldblood, MusicInterest, AthleticInterest, that kind of thing. 

Without going into too much detail (I know not everyone reading this is Wasted), each trait will effect how the story works and what sorts of thing the character can do.

So yes, you can do dumb-shit like deciding to have a dual-mooned character, how did you know?

Additionally, sufficiently Wasted Observers will be able to discover the means to define their own scenarios and Traits. This’ll be useful if it turns out my headcanons don’t mesh with yours, or if I left out your favorite fan aspect or whatever.   Or you know, if you’re in fandoms I’m not :)
