I might give this setting another try. Would there be the possibility of playing a genetically modified (by non-magical means) human/avian hybrid as part of the hunters? I was thinking of making a fighter (or a medic, unsure yet.) who in their spare time is tinkering with chemicals in order to...
Is it ok to have a detailed description instead of a picture for my character? I'm thinking of making a werewolf-ish creature who used to be a human who messed up dabbling with magic. They'd be changing involuntarily every full moon, but also voluntarily at other times.
I'm ambivalent about that. One one hand, it might make sense. On the other hand, the implications it has for real people with multiple identities is territory I'm not sure I want to get into. Have you considered water as sort of, for lack of a better word a "trigger" for certain tendencies and...

Actually, re-thinking it, I think maybe changes in instinct may be valid provided they aren't the single-minded drive of a character. So, I might actually accept such a character if we could discuss it in more detail.
Depends on what you mean by that. Canonically, the transformation doesn't change anyone's minds beyond maybe traumatizing them or making them question reality. I can't say it leaves the person mentally unscathed, but the idea that it makes someone into a murderous monster is just propaganda so...
I've been working on the official threads, but am unsure of when I"ll actually be finished with them. Still, I thought I'd provide an update on progress.
The year is 2047, the month February. World War Three ended fifteen years ago without nuclear detonation. Electric vehicles are mainstream. The USA still can't come to a consensus on the same basic issues of human rights that have been struggled over for half a century or more.
There are many...
Aaand more questions! I'm very excited for this, if you can't tell.
Do the naming conventions differ much from those of modern America?
Do people still swear?
When the NeuroThread dulls strong emotions, is there any noticeable difference in comparison to emotions that are genuinely light in...
How long does the Government Service time last? Can someone work more than one type, either in succession or as an overlap?
Are there symbols considered to be representative of New Heartland? National animals, plants, or minerals? Any insignia, coat of arms or flag?
What sorts of art does the...
Are any holidays widely celebrated?
Could a character have worked in a nursing home for the elderly? Would they need to be threaded for that?
How old does one have to be to get threaded? Could a parent or guardian have their child/ward threaded against their will?
What is the age of emancipation...
Ok, I guess here's the next round of questions.
How does the outside world typically view New Heartland? Are there many immigrants or tourists there?
What happens if someone wants to leave New Heartland?
You've mentioned private companies existing. Would a character who was previously a...
Aaand another one: What holidays, if any, are celebrated in New Heartland?
Also, I should specify that if I can make a vampire, they'd probably subsist on normal food, but with the addition of animal blood to their diet. (feel free to ask me questions too.)
