Did Mc's parents ever try to look for them after they were kidnapped?

I don't want to get too deep into what happened since it would spoil a lot of chapter 6 and 7. But, yes! They did try to find their children when they were stolen. I should mention that the MC's birth Parents, Abeshai and Lillemor didn't just lose the MC that night. But the twins, Soren and Gralon (names subject to change - Poll incoming). Both of whom were 16 years old at the time. (The MC was around four/five at the time.)

Near the end of the Prologue, the MC has a chance to decide the singular memory that they remember of their past. That being:

(Nothing) The day they met the apprentice. The crone. Everything else is a blur.

(Fear) Running through a burnt forest as they are hunted by a howling monster.

(Comfort) A soft voice whispering in their ear, a hand covering their eyes.

(Blood) A pair of boys, young and vicious. Fighting a never-ending sea of shade and rot.

(Daggers) A man, grizzled and bleeding screams a name. Taken by the ghosts that control him.

(Singer) A woman with burning eyes, laughing through the pain as music fills the air.

I like Asha but I wish she was a man Bernie to Why can't ladyb be lordb Or indigo a man Why did you only make the gender of the snake selectable? everyone else has gender selection in their games, why not you?

I’ll take your ask into consideration. Currently the Characters are as they are purely to conserve on time and coding. Since these versions of themselves are from the original concept of the game (sans the stranger.) But we shall see in the future if Gender Selection is viable.

Also I want to add that Bernie is AMAB (assigned male at birth.) They are non-binary.

[shibe-myths]

Mc's Mom kinda feaky tho 🥴 The one true monsterhugger!!

ya'll act like that trait won't be genetic.

[shibe-myths]

( In response to my other ask about the pantheon of gods)

Yes I would

This is gonna be long, expect multiple parts.

Edalehan Deities

Gwælbáeth.

Lady of Light, Goddess of Justice

The Goddess of both an ancient death cult found in Edalehan and that of the Goddess of Justice, Gwelyn, Gwelbáeth is the personification of the Dale’s tribal past and of the Houses that make up what remains of the past. In later years she became known as Gwelyn. In her divine form she took on the aspect of a winged she-ram, better known as a Satyr with a woman’s torso and goat legs, a pair of ram’s horns sat atop her head. In her divine aspect she was seen dressed in a man’s toga, one breast on full display- tattoos and all, while the other was chastely covered. Her hair was the color of the darkest of ink with eyes the color of the deepest greens was seen across several paintings born during that time. Scholars claim that her weapons of choice were an ironwood bow and axe, and from eyewitness testimony, her arrows were bolts of air.

Gwelyn was one of the few gods to have arisen, before the She-Dragon’s rampage. However, it is not known when or how she came to have awoken- if she ever was asleep in the first place. The Goddess of Justice was also one of the few gods found to be at full power at the time of the End. In journals and paintings dated around the same time as The Fell, Gwelyn is seen shooting arrows at the She-Dragon and her followers while the sea rises in anger at her feet. The goddess is also believed to be one of the first gods to to have vanished not long after the arrival of Magic. No one knows if the Goddess of Justice and Light was killed or not, however, like her daughters, she has not been seen since.

Dwæla.

Twin of Life, Goddess of Death

Twin of the Three-faced Life Goddess, Morcana, nine-winged Dwæla ruled over the other side of her sister’s coin, in the domain of Death. Specifically on where the dead dwelled, The Final Plains. She along with her sister were one of the few gods who did not awaken during the rise of the She-Dragon, nor have they been seen since. Instead, they still slumber in places unknown. From murals it can be deduced that Dwæla was similar in form to both her mother and sister, with goat horn atop her head and goat legs. Unlike her mother, she possessed an additional seven wings, the eighth having been removed for unknown reasons. Like her sister she appeared in the form of a young girl with solid green eyes and dark lifeless flesh.

Morcana

Twin of Death, Goddess of Life

The Three-Faced Goddess of Life, much like her sister, Dwæla, Morcana has not made an appearance on the mortal plane in eons. Instead, it is only her influence of creation that has been witnessed in the rise of new species and races that tells us that she still lives. In murals, Morcana took on the visage of a young faceless girl born with small horns atop her head and three floating masks, or faces, that she would change into depending on who she spoke to. Her true face was never seen, however one myth claimed that if one were to ever look under it, they would find themselves entranced. Like her sister and mother, she possessed a pair of wings, however hers had never matured and remained close to her body, unfeathered and burnt.

The Burning Stag

Master of Good Omens, God of the sky

The Burning stag, while ancient, was believed to be a strange god formed long time before The exile of Elves. Born from a backwoods cult, The Burning Stag was one of the few gods to have been awake before the She-Dragon arose as well as one of the few gods to have never taken on the aspect of a human. Fully seen as a Deer, The Stag is believed to have been hunted by the She-Dragon’s followers for three months and eleven days before falling to her merciless talon. He was the first to perish at her hands and it was his blood that many believed to have brought back magic. Or cursed us with it more like it.

The Deer God’s bones and horns make up both the Godswood’s throne of the Round Table, where King Dugant and his Mistress of the Hunt sit during meetings, as well as the King of the Deep Wood’s crown. Neither acknowledges the fact that neither worshiped the Burning Stag, nor that his followers have all since vanished past the Fell-Mountains. Interestingly a few of the Groa and Lilibuel bear shields with the aspect of a burning deer...

The God of the Forest

The Whisperer, God of the Mother-grove.

The God of the Forest, also known as The Whisperer and Bane of the Phantom was a possible Godling, who lived at the edge of the Fell-Mountains in what is Modern day Edalehan. He took on the form of the mutilated corpses of both man and Deer. With elongated limbs, rotted flesh spliced with hundreds of eyes along his flesh. antlers and horn ridges that ate at the festering crown of his head, and a twisted- doglike smile filled with jangled teeth that made up his mouth. It is known that he could drive followers of his and other gods to madness with just his voice- and some believe it was he who maddened the She-Dragon. His voice still calls for rescue and vengeance even as its speaker sleeps.

Not much else is known about The God of The Forest, other than the fact that he was born not long before the Rise of the She-Dragon and that he was turned to stone while in mortal combat with a woman only known as The Ghost by modern historians. His body can be found in the deep forests, just south of The Thuldarans, his killer's body however was taken not long after the battle and was interred in a mausoleum within the Deep Forests of what once was Dunholde, by a hamlet that claimed to have been saved by her while she still lived. The bones of her steed are buried below her glass casket. Those who journey to her resting place have noticed that her body has not decayed since her ‘death’; as her blood still oozes and her lips seem to still draw breath. She has not aged in the near six-hundred and fifty-three years since her death. A Mourning Owl guards her grave, though none know why.

Grima, The Crone

Crone of The Mother Grove, Seer of the God of the Forest

The Crone is not a god in the traditional sense, it is believed that she was once the follower or mother(?) of the God of the Forest, who was eventually given immortality and magic not long before the rise of the She-Dragon. Or that she was one of the first mages to be born during the age of the elves. Either way, she is an ancient beast,

It is said that both she and The Ghost are bound by the God of the Forest and that they will not perish until either magic is taken from the earth or That every God has perished. She is often seen as an exceedingly elderly woman with deep, purple and pitch black sclera. She wanders the Deep Forests and the various slopes of the Fell-Mountains in search of children and the lost to sacrifice to her god. Driven mad by unheard voices. She is seen as an ill-omen to those who travel in the area.

Though, there are times when The Crone is calm, in these times she takes on the visage of a middle-aged woman with ink-black muck for hair and funny lilac eyes- she tends to help passerby and claims her name to be that of Grima and that she is searching for her missing children; a girl and a boy named Lorelei and Zagreus. However, few know if this is to be true. When she is in this Grima persona she tends to give startlingly accurate fortunes and advice.

Domus

Shadow of Death, God of Guiding the Dead

An ancient psychopomp, Domus is believed to have never gone to sleep before the rise of the She-Dragon. Forced to wander the lands of Tor in search of the Dead, he was one of only a few gods able to survive the fall of Gods and the rise of Magic. Even the She-Dragon bade him credence once he came for her soul, or so it is believed. Taking on the aspect of a young man in a traveler’s cloak, his veil was a black as the night and his blade gleamed with the wrath of the last soul he slew. It can be noted that he was seen in the company of the shapeshifting godling, Rūn not long after the fall of man.

Rūn

Hound of secrets, Godling of loyalty.

The shapeshifter Rūn is a godling, born from the remnants of a tribal-woman and a wolf within an unknown Mother-Grove. It is not known how old Rūn might be, seeing as how they frequently come up with different answers depending on their rather weathervane mood. Though, what is known, is that they chose to wander the earth in search of adventure and companionship. Even while they are a new god, Rūn is old enough to have seen the end of the old world and the rise of magic in their human and wolf lives respectively. In their Godling form, Rūn has seen much, much more, though they do not always understand it. Recently they have taken up following the Psychopomp, Domus for their own amusement.

Rūn takes on the appearance of either: a robust Canine of impressive size- with silver fur and yellow eyes, or that of a human of either gender with silver hair and yellow eyes. Not much else is known about them other than the fact that they enjoy wandering and keeping their life debts. The only thing that remains are the eyes and color of their fur/hair. Yellow and silver.

I’m letting my coworkers decide on songs for my characters and why do they keep suggesting divorced dad rock for Amynta? Like REPEATEDLY THEYVE SUGGESTED THE BITCH CAME BACK FROM THEORY OF A DEADMAN

Does this man look like he’s in the backyard on the grill with his 30 year old new balances that have seen him through three divorces and at least two mid life crises’

[shibe-myths]

How many children does each love interest want to have?

I SWEAR I SAW THIS ASK SOMEWHERE.

Lamis: already has eight kids; might want more. Would be fine with what she has as well.

Bernie: Two, purely so that they have an heir and a spare. Otherwise they would prefer One or None. But knowing the fecund nature of his mother’s house. And their shit luck, they’ll end up with MANY.

Laz: ninety. As many as they are able.

Amyntas: One or two.

Bishop: it changes, sometimes they want a lot of kids, sometimes just a couple, one, or none. Very much a- if I have kids I have em. Otherwise they don’t care.

Indigo: one, or two spread apart by several years.

Lace: Already has two daughters. Wouldn’t mind more children. I def see him as a girl dad.

Secondary Romances:

Perierat: None. But would acquire some IF the mc wanted one.

Asha: Already has one child. But wouldn’t mind a few more.

Ribbon: none. Never wanted to ever have children, but, did want to be a wine aunt. Already dead and happy that she can’t reproduce.

Stranger: Already has four sons with his wife. Plus whatever amounts to seven thousand plus years of unprotected sex with multiple partners might bring him.

[shibe-myths]

Can we have some prologue spoilers?

Nestled high atop the Fell Mountain's summit, mere steps away from the very throat of the world. Leagues away from all known bastions of civilization- a hunt was taking place. A cruel affair to be had, born of rage, hatred, and panic. Twisting, turning. Bursts of pain and fright. Worse than the Snake, worse than the fowl. An Ouroboros.

Neverending.

[shibe-myths]
