Boss: Kœmo, Eater of Worlds

Diversity win! The demonic worm trying to kill you is nonbinary!

Kœmo is a bit strange because I haven’t shown xyr name or soul in the comic before... this is the only mention of it so far! At least with Rahelin, his name had been mentioned in passing! That said, xe’ll surely play a role later on, so enjoy this preview with a side of EoW lore! And yes, the Eater that Mysta killed halfway through Chapter Two is non-binary because I said so.

Boss: Ocàyuu, Brain of Cthulhu

Hey, I almost forgot I hadn’t posted this one yet!

Boss: Rahelin, Eye of Cthulhu

To add something a little different alongside the character sheets, here’s a bit of lore about EoC’s in general, and some specific details about the EoC Mysta killed in the Chapter One finale! Oh yeah, remember how Ocàyuu mentioned his name was Rahelin? Well then, this should answer a few questions.

Playing the #BossCard

Being a leader is different than being a manager. Normally, the direction you take your "followers" - be they social or your team at work - is guided by some set goals, objectives, strategies and tactics.

But sometimes as a leader, you have to play the Boss Card.

You play the Boss Card when your team needs a break and you tell them to take a day off.

You play the Boss Card when your team needs to fill in for you at a meeting.

You play the Boss Card when your team needs to drop what they are doing to hit a surprise deadline.

Under these circumstances, if you're a good leader, your team doesn't think twice about you laying down the Boss Card.

But there are other times you play the Boss Card that might get some funny looks. These times are normally predicated with the phrase, "You gotta [see, hear, taste(?), etc] this."

You play the Boss Card to get your team up-to-date on the latest YouTube sensation.

You play the Boss Card for your team to debate Oscar travesties.

You play the Boss Card so your team can have an awesome dance party to the Harlem Shake.

In these circumstances, playing the Boss Card is risky. You're spending valuable time and energy on an unknown return. At best your team bonds over your decision; at worst, your team bonds in spite of your decision.

My co-worker Eryn recently gave me my installment of Boss Cards (10, averaging 1/month for the rest of the year). If I use the Boss Card in a worthy manner, I get it back. If I abuse it, I lose it.

Here are the rules we've defined:

1. The Boss Card can only be played in the latter of the two illustrated circumstances. They cannot be played on legitimate Boss Card circumstances.

2. I cannot vet out whether she has already seen the content in question. No feeling out whether she's already seen Sloppy Swish.

3. Rejected Boss Cards can turn into Approved uses post-mortem should Eryn deem appropriate but Approved uses cannot turn into Rejected after the fact.

4. Boss Cards expire on 12/31/2013

So I've decided to periodically test out Boss Cards on my social networks and crowd source ideas on whether they are Boss Card appropriate.
