The city, for once, is quiet. Though the streets course with its inhabitants, both human and inhuman, it doesn't pulse with its usual buzz of a thousand indifferent conversations, in what an outsider would call respect, but what any inhabitant would know as dread. The whisper of the winds snakes through the populace, spreading whatever intangible message it carries. Overhead, the clouds are gathering, slowly and softly. A storm is coming, and in the ensuing cataclysm there will be no knowing what will happen. The world rests on the anvil of the gods, and soon the hammer of Fate will strike. But before the world can be reshaped, we must first give it any shape.

Who are you? An academic at the College of Mages, sitting on the precipice of the city? A sellsword, wandering the streets for work? A nomad, caught up in happenstance and fortune as you so often are? One of the Meteorologists for which the city is famous, who is silent not to dread the storm, but study it? Something else, more obscure or pedestrian?
What are you? Human, constant and hardy? Elemental, tied strongly to the world? Fragmented, shifting and writhing, whose past is unknown to all but the dead? Or something else, more unique, born from the storm only once?
And of course, the one constant, the one shred of identity that you will always cling to: What is your name?

Or perhaps, before answering these questions, you have questions of your own?

We are a Cult leader, leading our people to glory and praise to our gods! We are human, of course. Our name is Kal Reyas.

To specify, we are a homeless cult leader with a shady history. Don't ask about our past, ask about our future.

Perhaps this is you. And if so, then another question, a better one: To whom do you give your worship? Is it one god, or many?

[Fniff]

Why, we worship the one and only deity: the False God.
(OOC: Mainly because I'm curious to see how that would even work.)

[flame99]

You work your way through the awestruck, trembling crowd with purpose. You mutter arguments against the exist of the False God, He Who Does Not Exist, as the rain begins, gentle at first as always. You can already feel the threads of reality starting to shift and unwind. Before long, you come to whatever place it is you might've dwelt in, though 'home' might be a bit of a stretch. It won't be around for long, though, as you search for your dearest possessions to keep with you. The storm takes much, but a person is rarely changed, and those things you carry with you are included.

What is it you took to shelter from the storm?

[heydude6]

We hid inside a church. What better place to spread our beliefs than a place of worship?

Perhaps this wasn't clear. Hiding from the storm is futile; what did you take with you into it, to keep with you in the bedlam?

[heydude6]

200$. We've been saving up for years. We wanted to save it up for something special but it seems like soon it will be the last time we will ever be able to spend it.

We also took the holy book that does not exist

We also took the holy book that does not exist

It is a blank book, which only we can read.

And we took as well the holy robes that do not exist, which only we can see.

Not to mention our kirpan. It's not very useful without venom, but it was one of the more valuable things we have in our possession, and, perhaps, the only one that was actually materially valuable.
