You are the Werehouse
« on: February 15, 2022, 10:23:18 pm »

Spoiler: Quoi? (click to show/hide)

You become aware of your surroundings. You... you're not a person. You're an object. The word slowly comes to you - genius loci.

You were made by, evidently, some kind of powerful runesmith or technologist. Who knows why?

You get a dim sense of your purpose - protect, expand, and reclaim the building you find yourself as... being. Much of it has collapsed over the... centuries? millenia? you have been inactive. Something has caused you to regain awareness, but you do not know what.

In the centre, deep inside the building you are, there is a - what is the word? - dungeon core. It ticks quietly, absorbing mana from the world around it. It allows you to summon and construct things and houses your consciousness. Destruction of it would mean the cessation of your existence.

You look at two things - yourself (or at least the representation of yourself), and the building you are.

Who are you?

What is the building you were created to protect?

Rewind, can't keep going
My mind keeps replaying

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

We feel no particular need to give ourself a designation at this time.
...Nor do we remember what, or even if, we were supposed to be named by our creator.

Our mind is projected from the Core, and the locus of our focus, what could be called a digital avatar, is simply an immaterial green arrow. A mere hologram to improve ease of targeting.

Our charge is the Shrine of the Sky, a grand temple of white stone built on the holy mountain, in honor of the New Goddess of the Sky.
The old gods were cruel, so mankind built their own, kind and gentle.

Fixed that for you, also a compromise with Max's idea.

You are the Werehouse. On nights when the moon isn't full, you guard a warehouse, which is totally different and contains wealth, knowledge, and other stuff. So not different at all if you were a rich human, really!
