Survival is the exception
"living is an act of courage."
THROUGH THE INGRESSThe Ingress has pulled you in. Your body experiences several sensations at once: being pushed forward as if a hand is resting on your back, momentary and startling blindness, a gentle ringing in your head. You have difficulty discerning whether it is hot or cold, but where you have been prodded is noticeably warmer than the rest of you. Some may suffer from dizziness while others are perfectly fine. Once equilibrium has been reestablished, you will notice you are standing on a rocky planet. Former crew of the Moira are there to greet you, and it’s a grim message they have to share. The Moira has crashed and is beyond repair, but there’s good news... the destination the crew has been heading towards for over a year? You’re standing on it. But before you get into exploration and survival, it’s best to deal with the effects of coming through a broken Ingress. ☄ slip and tripfind your footing fastComing through the Ingress has left your character with one of three changes - an age slip, a form of body horror, or an extreme weakness. The first, the age slip, will mean that the character is either older or younger and this change can’t be rectified during their first month in game. The second, body horror, comes in the form of an alteration to the character's body due to whatever they were carrying at the time they came through. If they were wearing a watch, it’s now fused to their wrist, clothes are permanent, knifes replace fingers, and many other alterations (anything goes) and it lasts the first month as well. The third, extreme weakness, can be a mental or physical decrease - weaker arms, legs, or the weaker ability to talk or do math.
ooc: the choice of change is up to each player and this prompt can be game canon.
☄ introductions aren’t awkwardas long as you don’t shake their hand too longA new planet. Physical and mental changes. Talk of a ship that crashed and a Hub that is home to the ‘creators’ of a technology you’ve never heard of. A lot is happening and the best way to sort through it is by getting to know the Moira’s crew. They’ll help you settle in and get you any care you might need, all the while informing you that the group is on its way to the center of the hub. Something that might seem mundane is an absolute necessity for survival. Ask a seasoned space traveling veteran for answers and guidance.

☄ dealer's choicejust make the right oneCharacters have the option of coming through an Ingress that is any possible location on this planet. It can be inside a cave, at the top of a rock formation, etc. This means you can have your character have to climb or slide down, have them yelling for help, and have other characters see them and come to their aid. Your character's arrival is completely up to you, and since this is a unique situation that hasn't happened before, go nuts with it!

So, where is "here," exactly?
no subject
We just crashed here. I think it's near the midway hub but where that is, I'm not the one to ask.
[She figures it's best to say it before outright.]
I was on a ship that sailed in space before that crash. And was there for over six months.
no subject
Are you sure you didn't hit your head when you came through that portal?
no subject
[WOW YOU ARE SO RUDE.]
Why am I always the one hitting my head? You're taller than me! You're much more likely to hit your head.
no subject
No, no, I don't hit my head, I get hit in the head. Big difference, love. [Aaand awkward silence in 3, 2, 1...]
no subject
Do you want to stick with that or do you want to say something else and I pretend I never heard the first part.
no subject
[This is the face of a very confused mage. A very handsome face, he would like to remind Hawke. How can anyone say no to this face?]
no subject
[She reaches out and pats him on the arm. Hawke is oblivious... perhaps somewhat by choice. It's much easier to be oblivious than to deal with things. At least that's her motto.
His face is handsome though. Go out and share it with the world Anders.]
So welcome to... this place. No idea where it is.
no subject
[That's fine. He'll just be over here trying in vain to figure Hawke out. As usual.
After a moment, he squints at their surroundings, at least marginally more sure of himself now that there's a familiar face. Rocks, rubble, rocks... This place is really happening.]
Well. Still better than Kirkwall.
no subject
Too soon to tell. Unless you really really like rocks and kept it a secret from us for all these years.
no subject
Sure, I like rocks. Rocks mean I'm outside.
no subject
[She observes the landscape like an art buyer commenting on a painting.]
no subject
If you're so displeased, why don't you spruce up the place a bit? I'm sure you could pile the rocks into the form of a sofa. Perhaps a fancy dining table in a great hall of stone. Oh, you could put a writing desk over there!
no subject
[As if that means something. It apparently does to Hawke. But she chuckles at his enthusiasm.]
Clearly a healer was a mistake. You should have been a decorator that only works with very large and heavy stones.

It's rude to set someone up and then not deliver. I was counting on my stone bed to sleep on tonight.
