In Character; Is this a memory loss game? What happens to my character when the game shifts?
No. While NPCs and the physical area may change, characters themselves do not lose their memories or change between shifts in location. There may be an occasional event prompt that offers some amnesia-like effects, but these will always be optional for players.
What kind of situation might trigger a bond?
Whatever you and your thread partner are being inspired by. Bonds in Cyndane can be anything from tender to toxic, we simply ask that if you choose to engage with material that may be violent, graphic or sexual you content warn for it.
How does my character arrive?
Your character arrives in clothing from home with the inventory that is in your character application. Because Cyndane is everchanging in terms of location the TDM will call out more specific arrival details for that location.
What can my character bring in their inventory?
Your character will arrive with the clothes on their back as well as up to three items submitted in you app. These items must be small enough for a character to carry with them. For example, a pocket watch or sword would be permissible, a grandfather clock or a motorcycle would not. These items will be stabilized along with your characters and events will allow chances to gain other items from home. No pets are allowed as they would not be stabilized as living creatures.
Can my character die?
Different locations in Cyndane will have different levels of danger that can cause characters to die. If your character dies in one of these situations they will not be resurrected until the next cycle happens so be careful off your choices. As the game goes on events will offer different opportunities for death that lasts less time, but be careful, each death no matter the type will have some effect on the state of your bonds and the world even if your character doesn't see it directly.
Can my character be canon updated?
Due to the nature of this game cannon updates will be extremely limited. We expect for this to happen approximately once a year but no more then once every six months. If you wish to change your characters cannon point outside this opportunity you will need to drop them and reapply fresh.
Will my character be able to turn the bond off?
By default bonds will always be on. There may be some events that allow for adjustment of this such as a learned skill to mask it if characters choose to work on such. Realistically with multiple bonds reacting to every little thing will not be realistic but we want to leave the door open for the players to do with it as they wish.
How strong do the bonds pull on a character, from what distance?
This varies by bond and we want to leave it up to characters for how they wish to play with the mechanic. The mechanic is meant to allow for players to get creative in their threads and allow people to access feelings and emotions they otherwise wouldn't. The level players choose to engage with it is up to you, we just ask that you pay attention so you're not using it only to your characters advantage and never disadvantage.
Out of Character; What is the game pacing?
Cyndane is run in three month increments. Each set of three months will have one TDM and two events. The TDMs will count as game canon for those currently in the game and can be used as supplemental event material for those who are in game.
What happens after three months?
After three months, there will be a shift of environment based on the stabilizations achieved by characters. OOC, the theming of the location will change as well as some of the elements.
What are the themes of the game?
Threads/Bonds between characters & mysteries. Threads/Bonds are the currency of the game. Genres will shift, but events will both strengthen and challenge those bonds. Additionally, each new shift of the game setting will have a mystery to unravel that folds into the larger metaplot.
What sort of content warnings apply?
Content warnings will vary by event and be updated as they come up. You can expect a mix of suspense and mystery that will involve both physical and psychological danger situations. This includes things like gore, violence, emotional and mind-altering substances, and other adult situations.
Can my character keep their powers?
We ask that powers be nerfed to a non-game-breaking status that aims to not put one’s own character at significant advantage over others. A character that can teleport across their world will still be able to teleport, but the range may be down to a hundred yards or so. A wizard who may cast a fireball can still create fire, but might be limited to something the size of a bonfire. Players will be asked to identify powers in their application with suggested nerfs, and mods will provide additional feedback if needed.
What sort of characters can I apply with?
Fandom or Original Characters over the age of 16. We do not accept "fandom OCs" any Original Character must come with an original backstory and information. We do not accept CRAUS.
Is there a cast cap?
Yes. Since this game is about creating and forming new bonds we want to keep casts small. There shall be no more then five characters per cast at any given time.
What are AC requirements?
AC will consist of fifteen comments across no more then three threads. One of these threads needs to be a tag out.
Do I need to know the Wheel of Time to understand the game?
Absolutely not. Some of the ideas are inspired by the series, but having knowledge of The Wheel of Time will not provide players with any advantages, and not having knowledge will not put players at a disadvantage.
Is there a network?
There is no default network as most of the settings will be those without the required tech. There may occasionally be a short-term event or settings that do allow for one, and it will be set up in those specific cases.
