APPROVED
❧ we are happy to accept your application to the game.
Please refer to the premise page to review your character's entry into Asgard Genesis. We do want to remind you that our first round of applicants will be immediately involved in a mandatory metaplot, as they will be the very first Wanderers to ever appear in this world. Our story starts right now, with your character appearing randomly somewhere in Yggdrasil: for the briefest of moments, you will see vibrant colors and feel a static buzzing across your skin before a building pressure in your head goes pop! The last thing you will see is Honir reaching toward you as your eyes close, and when they open again, you will be in the room described on the premise page.
To be clear, this means that your character will die immediately upon entry to the game. This is for plot reasons relevant to the mechanics of the game. You are among the very first group of Wanderers, which means the gods are learning what needs to be done based on your arrival, the foremost being figuring out how to bring you to Asgard safely. This is something you may want to discuss with your nearest available deity! That aside, what exactly your character remembers of this death is up to you. Some may not have even noticed it happened, the transition was so seamless. Some may remember a vague feeling of panic or even intense pain. Whatever you decide, remember that it lasts no longer than two seconds before they wake up in the welcome room. This death is exempt from death consequences. For more details, see this post.
Our monthly intro log and June event descriptions will be going up later today on June 8; please keep your eyes on the mod plurk at
❧ welcome to asgard genesis.
Let us know if you have any questions, and welcome to the game!
