Hihi! Could you please elaborate what being a pure-blood means? I'm afraid I didn't quite get it and I'm super curious! Unless "spoilers" and you plan to divulge the info later in the story ofc. So, does the term only mean being blessed by a stronger deity which has nothing to do with blood literally, since smn who is blessed by a lesser deity is still blessed by a deity just a weaker one? As in there are at least 2 fire deities, one strong the other one weaker, hence the terms "regular weaver" and "PB"?

Would an offspring of two pure-blood parents inherit the talent since birth and so that kid would be called a PB? And for the talent, blood and power not to get diluted a PB must only marry an offspring of a PB? But shouldn't the first person in the PB's family tree who got blessed by a higher divinity be categorized as a spontaneous weaver like mc, since that first person had to get that talent from the deity as an adult and pass it on to their kids? So if mc ever has children their kid would be considered a PB if their spouse would be a PB as well, since the lightning deity is considered to be strong?

Sorry I'm just a bit confused rn and would love a bit of elaboration! 🤧

The ’pureness’ in their blood refers to the high amount of raw power they possess that is now etched into their bloodline. Blessings are passed onto offsprings, but there’s no mixing of weaves. If a PB and regular weaver (or non-weaver) ever bear a child, there’s a 50/50 chance they’ll either be a PB or the latter. Whichever gene prevails.

A spontaneous weaver is only a temporary state for newly realized weavers, eventually they’ll be classified into PBs or regulars.

Yes, there are dozens of deities with the same element, and a single deity is not limited to one chosen. There’s more about the nature of these ‘blessings’, which you’ll eventually discover in the game (can't say anything more !)

But you’re right with the MC being a progenitor of their bloodline! If MC had a kid, it’s up to the lady of luck if the kid’s gonna get the cool lightning powers or not ⚡️

what is your character arc?

CORRUPTION ARC.

so. you got worse. and i'm not entirely sure i can blame you for it. maybe it was in you all along, hidden and waiting, or maybe someone planted it in you and watched it grow. either way, it's there now and you hold it in your fist like a second heart - this blood, this hunger, this thrill of having teeth and using them. perhaps you are right to. you are a mirror for the hardness of the world, and a mirror that we could all stand to look in more often. it's hard to watch the bleeding bring about more blood, but it is undeniable that you are very good at wounding.

Just played the demo for the first time, I really like the whole concept of the story! I think it's been the only story I've read about elemental users in a modern setting, so I can't help but find it refreshing (bonus points for having ATLA/TLOK as inspos, good taste indeed).

My thoughts, in no particular order: I want to give MC a warm hug, a fluffy blanket and a cup of hot chocolate (+ praying that the lightning deity that blessed MC will also smite the orphanage and Mother down in the future. Do it for the poor little meow meow, o great deity!), Mother sounds like one of the caretakers or the head of the orphanage, I love L and A to bits, after the new info about J (what with MC having trauma regarding earth weavers) I'm looking forward to their interactions w/ MC, I hope we see Professor Astor again...

Lore questions that popped in my head: Do people know how many elemental deities are? Since there's apparently a hierarchy in place... And the fact that lightning as an element is very rare for weavers makes me think that there're probably more deities for an element than others (either that or the deity is very stingy with their blessing lmao).

Romance-centered thoughts: I absolutely will romance all of the ROs, I can't resist their allure at all. I'm making three separate playthroughs as I speak 🏃‍♀️ (though I have to admit I'll romance A first. 'Cold and detached exterior with a warm and nice side underneath it all for those who break their walls' characters are my one-hit K.O. weakness fr 😔). It also makes me think... How would you rate the RO routes for slowburn and angst purposes? L and A seem to have some baggage concerning their families, J is a mystery for now, and MC can be the biggest touch-averse yet touch-starved person in the whole story. Also, the implications of some of the choices make me imagine that MC could potentially not see themselves as someone worth loving, you know. They're gonna be so confused and scared at the whole falling in love business that will ensue in the future 😭.

Ohhh I love asks like these. They make me re-think some of the decisions I’ve made while writing - in a good way of course!

I’ve always adored the world of ATLA/TLOK (though I admit I have not finished the original series yet, only Korra’s). The little fanfics I’ve written for it (for myself only) are my favorites

The amount of deities that exist are unknown, but there is more to be revealed about the existence of weavers like the MC in the future. Let’s just say that the realm of elemental deities have their own shit to take care of 👀

The relationship angst and pacing entirely depends on how MC interacts with them romantically. The variables for MC affection for RO, and RO affection for MC are separate. I’ll just let you imagine what that means 😏
