Market of the Vanities: Plot Role Info.
Jan. 12th, 2019 06:24 pmIf you are not a plot infiltrator or someone with IC reasons to share knowledge available to plot infiltrators, please do not read the comments of this post.
If you ARE a plot infiltrator, please comment under your toplevel to let us know you've read it; please also pop over here to announce your plotroleishness to the game at large. We prefer that you do any confidential plotting with other plot-important folks in the comments here, rather than on plurk, and please comment no later than January 23rd, January 31st, February 8th, February 16th, & February 24th with a brief (as brief as 1 sentence; as long as you like) summary of your activity during the week & plans for next week. These comments will help the mods shape mingles and plot events to keep the story dynamic and player actions important to the outcome. Likewise, comment at any time with any questions you may have, and a mod will get back to you within 36 hours at the outside.
-Links to folklore are included not to pigeonhole you into using those names or background details, but only to share our inspirations for the roles and allow you to draw from them as much or little as you like.
-All your characters may be safely assumed to have access to monetary resources and minor magic items to sell or trade; doing so will constitute skill proof for the character receiving the item. Such magic items should convey a minor advantage, a cantrip or trick - an endless torch, a self-mending piece of clothing, a sword that draws itself in times of danger - but not an item that conveys a major advantage or wholly new ability, such as a sword that fights on its own, a torch that can light endless fires, or clothing that can alter itself into other outfits. If you're not sure of an item or want to sell or trade something more powerful, contact the mods under your toplevel and ask - the Market is meant to be a place of wonders and you're the biggest suppliers in it.
-Obviously the skills listed below are exceptional even by Traveler standards. If you have concerns about a skill, yours or someone else's, potentially unbalancing the game, please let us know ASAP so we can address that concern & work out a fix if necessary. Your characters are under no obligation to sell, trade, or give away these skills, but are able to do so, and we've worked to give many or most of you some possible motivation to justify the skill trades. If you cannot imagine a circumstance where your character would make any trades, let us know so we can clarify and explain.
