[x] Yes.
After a long struggle with executive dysfunction, you manage to sit up and open your eyes. It feels like a monstrous effort of will, though the physicality is extremely simple; you're not sure if this is because your body no longer has automatic processes for this, or if it's just depression again.
The midday sun beats down, as if judging you for rising late. You are sitting on a wooden bier, in a small barque which seems to be cast up on a sandy shore, dunes obscuring the view inland. If this is an afterlife, it's singularly lacking in the 'life' department. You can't quite remember what you expected, but it was at least a bit grander than this.
Actually you can't remember much of anything, come to think of it. Who
were you, anyway?
[ ] A Noble Warrior - You were a highborn warrior of one of the Kingdoms of the River, skilled in all the arts of war. (
A versatile pure martial fighter.)
[ ] An Outlander - You were a nomadic warrior-mystic from the Unwatered Lands beyond the River. (
A specialist skirmisher, who can also call on a little of the magic of the God of the Desert Winds.)
[ ] An Astromancer - You were a Scholar of the Incantations, working magic by speaking words of arcane power. (
A specialist arcane magic user, and also a passible skirmisher.)
[ ] A Priest of the Sun - You served the will of the Sun God, working magic through the Invocation of divine power. (
A specialist divine spellcaster, and also a passible melee fighter.)
[ ] A Priest of the Moon - You served the enigmatic and many-faced Moon God, member of a mystic order of scholar-priests. (
A multi-disciplinary pure magic user.)
[ ] A Serf - You were nobody of any great importance. (
Warning: Hard Mode. You have no learning and only the barest militia training. The worst at almost everything and the best at nothing, this is the equivalent of Dark Souls' Deprived or Elden Ring's Wretch.)
You may also choose an Introspection; a question or topic you want to ask, recall or ponder. Introspection may sometimes take more than one update to resolve, and you may only focus on 1 topic at a time.
[ ] What was my name?
[ ] Write In.
From here on, you may always vote to Introspect if you do not currently have an active Introspection. You may unlock specific topics that will be added to the list, but write-ins are always welcome, and I may add particularly interesting failed votes to the list for later. Sometimes you won't get a good answer though!
