— —  PREVIEW: MANIFESTATIONS

while various laboratories and research facilities throughout the world have different terms for the beings that the break produces - demons, the fae, aliens, spirits - the shrike island botanical center refers to them as manifestations.  in their research, manifestations appear as unfamiliar human beings (with minor, difficult to recognize nonhuman traits - such as multiple pupils) at the site of atrocities, either during, shortly before, or shortly after; they are occasionally even noticed by onlookers, although their significance is rarely recognized.  

the center currently holds three manifestations in an undisclosed location in their facility and conducts nearly ceaseless research on their subjects.

WHOOPS in the excitement of the discord launch we forgot about the lore preview!  expect the manifestations preview and a code preview later this evening!

second reserves are open!

with a little more lore and a few previews posted, we’re hoping you’ve been thinking about a character (or two)!  

share your thoughts in #shrikerp - words, graphics, playlists, interpretive dance, however you express yourself best - then let us know that you posted and claim your second face.  

(don’t forget - our discord launches tomorrow, 12/6, and members of the discord will have first access to the site when we’re live on 12/13!)

[shrikerp]

are you planning on giving written credit to these sites when you open?

sure! do you have any thoughts on what exactly we should credit given the limited content we’ve previewed? i’m happy to chat about it over discord if that’s easier for you, you can find me at lucky#9098!
