Hi cyncie! ? I noticed this the other day but didn't get a chance to comment until now. You've got an interesting setting with the Myst!SpoilerIt’s so interesting to see all the different ways that Morgyn gets interpreted across the forums ? I like the idea of a safe haven for everything supernatural. It’s so sad that he is the last of his kind, though. That must be lonely.
Oooh, I’ll admit I did not think about ghost rights, either. My first thought was “but they don’t actually need to sleep or eat or take care of themselves, so why would they need a nice apartment over someone that is still living?” but if you flip the perspective around, of course they’d want to be treated better. That’s very interesting. Hm. I wonder what will come of it.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I’ve got a lot of catching up to do on all of the creative efforts here.
This whole thing represents a bit of a change of approach for me. I usually create characters, set up an environment and supporting cast, then play through to the conclusion of a story arc. Premades are usually just part of the surroundings. When I got ROM, I saw in Morgyn the potential for a fantasy quest character, and pulled him out to play that through. I decided to play it out with mostly premades or lore families in the main roles. I set a rule for myself that I wouldn’t drastically remake any of them and would just expand on the existing character personality and history to support the story. So I didn’t alter Morgyn’s base programming or give him a drastic makeover. I just gave him context that fit with the tale I wanted to tell.
Morgyn’s retrospective above, otherwise known as a Myst info dump ?, was actually the result of almost a year’s play through with this set up. It was definitely about Morgyn’s personal journey. As that arc was concluding with the creation of The Myst, my computer died and took it with it. So I reset the story for a new game and have now fully created and populated The Myst. The stories now will be about the various beings trying to make a life there.
I hope you continue to enjoy them.
