Welcome to the world of Fortuna, a land of fantastic proportions. This is an original fantasy roleplay that takes place in a world developed over nearly a decade of work and collaboration. We aim to encourage all participants to have a hand in the stories of the characters here, and the world around them. Your choices are key - so make them with pride. You decide who wins the wars, you decide who becomes King, the world is ours, and together we will bring it to life!
If you're going away for a little bit, this is the place to let us know! Whether you're going on vacation, starting a new job, or any other possible reason you might be gone for a few days to a while, you can let all of your RP partners know here!
Alright guys! I'm heading out in the next couple hours here, I'll be driving for a while, at a hotel, then driving a while tomorrow, and I'm not bringing my computer so I won't be around. I might pop into the cbox from my phone when I hit the passenger seat, but otherwise... See you all tomorrow afternoon/night!
Hey, everybody. I've started working concession at my local movie theater, and generally work gives me too much time. I'm not going away, but I want to give a statement that I will be posting much less frequently. All my characters are still active, and I intend to post in every thread I have available, as well as the ones I've been meaning to start, but it may take some time to work on them all.
Next month is The Coin of Fortune, which I've been marking as a major point in a few of my storylines. I'm pretty sure that I won't actually be reaching that point next month, but I do want to move all my characters forward in time. My current goal is to make sure that all my characters have finished any parts their storylines that are set during The Scales of Judgment.
1. Relos Voden: His current thread is "Moment of Reprieve", which is still open. I haven't posted with him in a while, but I'd say his storyline has moved past the Scales, which I'm happy with. I also plan to post a thread soon where he will meet with members of the SSPB, which will be set during The Empty Lantern. He's also been paired for Lady Osmene's roulette.
2. Edgar Vanros: His current threads are "A Favor for a Friend" and "The Past in Question", both of which are set during the Scales. Any more Scales threads will likely follow up on those two, but otherwise, Edgar's furthest planned thread will be set during The Winter Storm, in a meeting with Zota, Ichabod, and Solana.
3. Nicole Vanros: Her current threads are "Appraisal" and "Predator and Prey", both of which are set at the end of the Scales, so any threads after that will probably be set during The Winter Storm or later. I might prioritize these threads just because it means I can wrap up Nicole's Scales scenes.
4. Zechariah Vanros / Acacia-Black: His current threads are "The Past in Question", which is set during the Scales, and "Nuclear Family Model", which is set during The Winter Storm. I'm not sure if there will be anything set between those threads.
5. Zota Vanros: His current threads are "The Past in Question", "Appeal to Authority", and "The Questing Beast". With the first two set during the Scales, I especially want to get through with them, especially since "The Past in Question" includes three of my characters. Zota has also been paired for Lady Osmene's roulette. Since he'll be the one leading the expedition during the Coin of Fortune, his threads so far will be a mix of reacting to his children's other threads while doing his own work to prepare for the expedition. I imagine I'll have to be pretty busy with him eventually.
Generally, my hope is that Zota's expedition will be the culmination of much of my story so far, although there will be other subplots to explore. However, I might have tunnel vision here (…No pun intended), so I'll probably be skewing some threads towards that, at least where it makes sense, but I don't want to "hijack" other storylines and force other players' characters towards this unless they're interested. Simply put, my priority is to move away from The Scales of Judgment and towards The Coin of Fortune. That's about five months worth of storylines. It might take me a while to get through it all.

Hey all! First of all I want to apologize for my absolutely abysmal activity the past couple months. A lot of stuff has been going on in my life lately (mostly good!) with grad school applications, adjusting to a new job, and dealing with a bit of sickness, but I really should have said something sooner and I really, really am sorry for the silence.
So in order to save Mellie from having to email me anymore this is just me letting you know that A. I'm actually going to be going on vacation starting tomorrow until the 23rd in Mexico and that B. I'll have some time in the car and plane to catch up on my posts and work on finishing up some new characters and storylines I've been thinking about, and with the whole week providing a nice bit of rest, I should be back and ready to be active again afterwards. If people don't want to wait (more than they have) for my replies I completely understand and I'm okay with dropping or just summarizing the threads and starting fresh after I get back, but it's up to y'all!
Otherwise I'm really looking forward to getting to RP with you guys when I get back!!!
Thanks! It was really fun (and really nice to have high 80s instead of low 30s for a bit haha) even if literally everyone got food poisoning in the end oops. And not yet! They aren't actually due until late December/early January so I'm still finalizing recommendation letters and what not. I won't know anything until early spring probably!
