This is the first SB I've ever made, so please pardon me if it's a little clunky and/or anxiety-riddled and if I've forgotten anything and and and—well, you're here for the story, not my apologies
The world of Feather will be rather small; I intend for this to be something of a linear story. I've taken care to limit the number of characters so the whole thing doesn't turn into a huge exploration of Lorne as we know it. (While that would be pretty awesome, that's not what this story is.)
Three people fell on the night of the meteor shower. Another two will be their Guides back to the sky, normal inhabitants of Lorne who managed to get caught up in this mess. Aside from that, there will be two major NPCs important to the story: the Crow Man, who will be your in-game guide, and Unkindness, who sheds feathers where she walks.
A quick briefing on the world of Lorne: Think of it as lifted out of a darker, more magical version of the English countryside. The names and culture in general are English, though there might be some differences (along the lines of Rus, Hilry, Jesca, Simon).
There are three townships of note, an abandoned church at the end of a long path, and some other notable places. I'll have a map up soon, both here and in the first post of the SB itself.
As far as magic goes, each person has control of one type of natural element—venom, heat, decay, light, etc. The only ones off-limits are the big four (earth, fire, air, water), so be creative! Just don't make yourself overpowered, okay? Also, since our cast is so small, let's try not to overlap magical abilities too much, or else we'll have five characters who can all do the same thing.
Overall, I just want this to be a kind of surreal thing for us all to have fun with. It's originally taken from an idea I have for an RPG, so I'll probably use game terminology for no discernible reason, haha.
Any questions or concerns, anything I need to clarify?
