arc vii reveal + badges

Hi folks! Drumroll, please —

With 20 to 16 votes when polls closed, our Arc VII destination is hereby... the Accolade.

Prepare for a citadel of decadency and plot, an undead liege's ~~false~~ election, Akhuras' largest army, gladiators, and — to honour the tight race between the two Arc destinations — an assassination subplot as a treat.

Your downtime event is still ongoing until 15 September, but to help with mod prep work, if you don't mind commenting to this entry with the info below by 23:59 GMT on 3 September. Thank you!

Meanwhile, you can find the character badges for Arc VI: Yancai (and, as a reward for everyone's patience with the wait, a handful of badges for the House of Manouk ) below. If you've never done this before — grab and customise your badge wallet and stuff it full with any badges from the general or Arc-specific set that you fit your character's experiences so far! This is all just for fun, play with it as you will!

YANCAI BADGES

HOUSE OF MANOUK

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

CHARACTER NAME: Wrathion
CANON: Warcraft

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE?
1. Strategy
2. Silver tongue
3. Tie between magic and weapon combat, given he does both.

I'm fine for any of these, but definitely have a pref for wherever Wrathion can get embroiled in the most shenanigans.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:
In order of pref:
1. involved in the political echelons
2. a gladiator
3. infiltrated in the group supporting the death liege
4. affiliated with the citadel’s immense army

Slight pref for one of the first two, 1 just because it sounds like shenanigans, 2 because it sounds fun, but I'd make the other two work!

No worries, you should be able to get your #1 preference unless we get a massive, massive skewing (think 90% haha) in one of the categories!

You can always bribe me into another category if Wrathion can have a very funny title with the job. That's all it takes tbh.

Very much noted.

CHARACTER NAME: Number Five
CANON: The Umbrella Academy

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? Pragmatic Genius/Tactician (and the best assassin in the time-space continuum, but he'd rather be known for the first thing)

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

■ infiltrated in the group supporting the death liege (no that's not a different lord's finger around his neck, he's just accessorizing)

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? healing, subterfuge

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:
First Choice:

Second Choice (just in case):
■ involved in the political echelons (note: you will need to keep track of political developments in the Arc and strategize )

CHARACTER NAME: Mo Ran
CANON: Husky and His White Cat Shizun

CHARACTER NAME: Jon Snow
CANON: Game of Thrones

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? Realistically, combat. But secondarily, diplomacy/leadership-type stuff. Not a silver tongue (he's pretty much as aggressively honest and taciturn as he can get away with), but the ability to inspire, unite, and rally groups of people.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

In order of preference:

- Politics
- Army
- Gladiator

He's not a good choice for infiltrating the death liege's group because of his dislike for lying and subterfuge.

CHARACTER NAME: bucky barnes
CANON: mcu

CANON: Warcraft

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? Healing, first and foremost. Diplomacy second. And he's pretty good in a fight.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

■ involved in the political echelons (it's technically what he'd be best suited for)
■ a gladiator (getting a taste of what his father went through, during his time in the pits, should be very tasty from a character perspective)

CHARACTER NAME: Benedict Fox
CANON: The Last Case of Benedict Fox

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? He'd like to say it's investigating mysteries with or without his special abilities (reading emotions/memories), but he's honestly really good at combat (melee, firearms, and supernatural abilities).

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

■ a gladiator
or
■ affiliated with the citadel’s immense army

Yes, I'm sure he'd be good at the political intrigue but he wouldn't be good at remaining civil for longer than necessary and mostly just I would not be able to keep up ngl. He also has the whole child soldier background so that works well.

CANON: Harry Potter

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? magic, fire, thinking on her feet, hitting the books, stealing the books...

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

CHARACTER NAME: Wen Kexing
CANON: Word of Honor

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? ~~His pretty face~~

Combat, but also more currently noticeable, his silver tongue.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be: You know what, I'm leaning towards political stuff because Wen Kexing is currently not interested in showing off his fighting skills, they might be a useful surprise later. But if the mods prefer absolutely throw him into a place with sweaty, muscly fighting. He could also be part of the infiltration bc he's a lying liar who lies. Uhhh.

Can we toss a coin?

Can you pick one, please? c:

i'm a libra, decisions are not my forte. 😞

jk

gimme the politics and then if you have too many politics people you can give me the infiltration if absolutely needs be.

■ a gladiator (note: this will expose your character to violence and keep them based away from the rest of the group in the first event)

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? A nice lil strategy/magic combo!

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

■ involved in the political echelons
■ infiltrated in the group supporting the death liege
■ in another role

I don't have any preference between this variety of juicy options so these are all equally good (and if you come up with a way for his magic to be more useful in either of the other roles those also look good! I just assumed they'd be more hand to hand combat-reliant over magic battles.) Worth noting I start uni at the beginning of October so may end up unable to do my due political diligence, so poss best to nix that one.

If you need an actual concrete answer I will do an RNG just lmk, otherwise I am ready and eager for him to be placed wherever suits.

CHARACTER NAME: Caitlyn Kiramman
CANON: Arcane

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? Investigations and gun-slinging. She's also decent at delivering impassioned speeches off the cuff but is painfully bad at any form of subterfuge, so her political abilities are a bit of a mixed bag.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

■ affiliated with the citadel’s immense army

Though she can be put in any role she's needed in, and I certainly don't mind her being stuck doing something she's bad at.

CHARACTER NAME: Marty McFly
CANON: Back to the Future

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? a comical willingness to Just Be Helpful, actually. also a creative mind that only serves to bolster his previous work experience as a mad scientist's assistant in inventing all kinds of things. actually being the assistant is probably his best attribute. he's trying!

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:

army, then infiltrating. in that order. he's too dumb for politics and too normal for gladiator business-- having a killer right hook, sadly, does not a killer make.

also open to other roles as needed, considering his willingness to help! but of the defined ones, those two stand out most. 👍

■ involved in the political echelons (noted)

CHARACTER NAME: Red
CANON: original

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? her hair apparently, also connection with death/afterlife/etc/helping spirits move on, being supernaturally talented at Finding things and people

CHARACTER NAME: wei wuxian
CANON: the untamed

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? quick, creative thinking

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be: give wangji a heart attack but say gladiator (politics as second choice, i'm game for either)

CHARACTER NAME: nynaeve al'meara
CANON: the wheel of time (amazon)

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? stubbornness. i'd say healing but the reality is her stubbornness is what makes her a good healer

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be: literally any role where healing is a part of what she does, and where either she has to attempt to (poorly) curb her temper or pretend to be high class and hate the pretense of it all. i'm not sure where that fits best so pulled on "other" so you can slot her where any of that'd be possible within framework of the arc

CHARACTER NAME: Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel)
CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe

WHAT IS THEIR BEST ATTRIBUTE? Kamala is a creative artist, has the ability to physically fight (or at least throw her power around enough to cover for her lack of experience!), is good at making friends/talking people down from the ledge.

Your character will be assigned a specific identity at the new destination. Given the choice, you would prefer them to be:
■ in another role - I am not sure any of the rest fit her. Only the army or gladiator could she even begin to hang and even then she doesn't really fit with an army. I guess Gladiator is exciting??
