Gnosis
[Subtitle Pending]

Spoiler: Introduction (click to show/hide)

Gnosis is a discovery-based suggestion game being run by me and my RL friend Mechanical Marvel. Notes by me in places will be done via alt-text marked by a “*” Notes by Mechanical Marvel will be marked by a “°” Seeing as it is discovery-based, I can't really tell you much in the introduction, so let's just get down to things and I'll fill in more later.

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

Standard suggestion game: One character with actions suggested by the players. If you're suggesting an action then please indicate in some way; bolding is preferred.

If you do not clearly indicate that you are suggesting an action, please do not cry at us if we miss and/or ignore it.

Spoiler: Setting (click to show/hide)

The game will take place on the planet Holon, a setting I've been developing slowly for the past year or so.

Set in the country of Osteris which is located on the continent Brillca and is similar enough in culture to America and Britain that it needs no further elaboration°*. If you wish to find out more about the setting you'll have to find a history book or other source in-game or wait for me to get off my arse and actually type out the details in readable format.°*°*

Please choose your age:
Child: ~10 years old
Young Adult: ~18 years old
Adult: ~30-40 years old

Please choose where you live when the game starts:
Aeon Dearborn: A dark riverside city that serves as the immigration center for Osteris. (You may not choose this if you chose Child as your age.)
Khoyne: A bustling new city located in the mountains north of the Great Lakes.
Okóra: A small rural farming town located in the central plains of Osteris. (You may not choose this if you chose Young Adult as your age.)

[Phantom of The Library]

You hear the doorbell ring. Both of your parents are unavailable, so you decide to answer the door.

When you open it a strange woman stands there with a large cardboard package and a clipboard. 
She is wearing what could pass as a standard delivery uniform¹. Instead of the standard brown the uniform is colored a deep red and has black and yellow circles running up the sides and down the sleeves. She has a newsboy cap perched on top of curly white hair that frames her face and orange eyes that seem completely unaware of the physical barrier between them and your soul. A brass name-tag on her chest reads: “Analiese”.

“Ah, salutations!” She says in an airy voice with a smile. “I'm afraid that you'll have to fill these out. As is standard procedure in this world.”

She hands you a clipboard with a pen attached. The form seems slightly strange.

[I myself am fond of the “Pop” which comes from the continent/country of Compola. Though I also enjoy Ambient Industrial, mellow piano and vocal pieces that remind one of the large expanse of Grey void that will one day Consume us all lest we manage to ascend to a higher Plane of existence, and “Rocks” that “Roll.”]

[A parable to clarify:
"A world without color is bland." Andrew said.
"True" Bert replied, "But in the shades of black there is a certain clarity and besides, it's easier to tell the foreigners apart.

"A world with color is confusing." Andrew said.
"True," Bert replied, "But in a chromatic world we can see our personalities better and besides, it makes it easier to hide."]

If people did speak in color what color would you speak in:

+1, but proposing to change the purple glow to green with red glow. :T

Also, would Deception or Persuasion work as a concept? Diplomancy Diplomacy, perhaps? There appear to be none in Zal's thing.

Deception as th' concept, then.

I couldn't really think of anything good in that department, so the whole concept thing is up to you. I just posted something thinking no one else would probably do it. (Even though someone would eventually do it) Also I want to change the purple glow to green with red glow too. (I use purple way too fucking much)

Deception works best, but the other two can work as well.
