And the Arc VI destination is...

[groundrules]

Hello, hello! Eid Mubarak if you celebrate & happy Friday if you don't! Voting for our Arc VI destination has now closed and, with 23 votes in favour and 7 against, the winner by a waterslide is... The Sunken.

All hail our moist overlord.

Indicatively, Arc VI should last roughly 10 weeks and will kick off after part II of our train ride mystery — for which you will get further details on 24 April, along with a list of clues uncovered and shared ICly by their discoverers so far. There will be a test drive event & an app round after the train journey.

To help prepare your character's triage and entrance into the Arc VI moist madness, please optionally fill out the following at some point over the next two weeks:

Memories confused to know they are themselves, but think they arrived and decided to stay in the village some time ago.</b> <b>3. Memories unchanged, but they have a deep sense of rightness about staying in the village (for now).</b> <b><small>WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR CHARACTER'S BIGGEST REGRETS</small>?</b> Just one, please! <b><small>LIVING ASSIGNMENTS</small>:</b> do you want a mod-RNGed living unit with other characters for your character, or will you make your own arrangements?

CHARACTER | CANON: Stephen Strange / MCU

IS YOUR CHARACTER ABLE TO USE OR PERCEPTIVE OF
TIME TRAVEL: has a lot of time travel nonsense wrapped up in his past but doesn't have the capacity to do it himself anymore - could be perceptive to it, depending on how things shake out.
ILLUSIONS: if magical in nature, yes and yes! sorcerer + third eye baybee
BLOOD MAGIC: probably perceptive of! blood magic isn't his personal niche but he remains a Wizard

MEMORY STATUS:

Question before I decide on this one - if I go with 2 and close CR has chosen 1, will the memory confusion include writing said close cr out of his personal history and him instead believing he's met them since arriving in the village? Or will he still remember that he already knew them before arriving in the village?

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR CHARACTER'S BIGGEST REGRETS? Not being able to find another way to deal with the Thanos problem and all the death and suffering that happened as a result.

LIVING ASSIGNMENTS: RNG please!

Hey! Re: memories — it would be fumbled. Let's say his close CR is now "native," and he thinks he only moved in years ago — he might know with certainty that he's very close to America, native fishergirl, but he would have a diffuse sense of how they met, or the bonds that tie them. He'd know they're fiercely connected, as would she, but he might struggle to remember how. The memory situation is temporary and progressively waning (think, over between a few days to two weeks at most), so it shouldn't outright impact your CR. It's more a case of, 'this is how the natives would perceive you' and also a blood-curdling, 'this is how this place can mess with you. It's down to how much trauma you want to shove his way consequently.

Eeeexcellent, thank you for the clarification! In this case I'll stick with 2.
