Ask me question about my adventures

      Not so far. I've kinda lost some of my older pictures and don't tend to collect much the most recent ones. But I suppose it could be a thing if I step aside from the adventure format.

      Devised on the sight of their hives, it's clearly so. Plus mixing fluids on the pairing cells just have a nice color palette

      A kitten, obviously. More exercize, less fat and endocrinians pollutants

      Only the first two tomes. Setting very interesting, but I didn't like the characters and the omnipresence of foreseeing, plus the way the events happened quite quickly. So most of the cast is scheming, some can see what will eventually happen, and it just does.
      Beside the main charater I didn't see any evolution in the others, another thing that deterred me from reading the next books.

      Some public answer : yes the ending was a bit rushed. The big reveal was defined a long time ago, but could have been only the transition to another part of the story. I wanted to move on and try something else artistically, and wasn't getting much input anymore, that's why I railroaded the adventure to its conclusion sooner than imagined.
      It was also a way to gain confidence, with at least one adventure meetint its conclusion in a proper way.
      There could be a sequel but honestly I have no such project at the time being.

      Writing, I guess, but it's kinda digital in it's final form hehe. Actually I really use some notebook to write my novel before typing it.

      Chthonic Crusade features its own supernatural setting which share some elements with the lovecraftian universe as usually portrayed.

      The creatures, deities and specific notions are different however, and this adventure is focused on subterreanean entities rather than cosmic ones. They have a similar level of power and maleficence that makes mortals fate somewhat desperate though.
      The human world is something of a slight steampunk uchronia, but it's not really relevant to the chthonian theme.

      Electrum is the name of an antique alloy. Now the crystals habe several names, at least four possible in the scope of the story.
      The common use name, aka "Electrum" because of the "scientifique" sounding name and their properties, their energy output is part electric.

      Of course it's likely that the name used in scientific circles is different, being Phlogoxyde, Etherigen, or else.

      The crystals will be reffered with some others names by the natives, translating to something like StormStone. Finally there will be the more arcanic references by individual believing more in magical properties, but they are mostly unpronouncable.

      I just used a cliche wording, to convey ambiguous feelings. Usually this means a person has a love interest but don't want to admit it. In this case, it may be understood without innuendo : she wanted to remove the gag, but not because she loved him.
      Or does she ?

      I'm missing quite an amount of information to provide a sensible answer. :3

      It's unlikely it could bypass the securities of important systems. Unless they are built around such a self destructive trigger.

    17. ShadowPhoenix

      This is the feeling. Nukes exists, but may be only triggered by some extreme self-destructive programs or external events. And systems designed to host sentient beings are quite protected from blatant hazards of the sort. There is still the possibility of physical damage, but heh.

      The routines are just emanations from a higher security program. The monitoring system will engage its assets to restore the normal state in the systems its being in charge of.
      Routines have some similirities with processes associated with programs. Hypatia display them as smaller entities with the color of their original programs. In the kind of network in use in the story, they play both the role of semi independent agents and direct effectors (like our limbs) or receptors.
      The more usual routine activity isn't displayed at all for the sake of simplicity, but the background color around some higher entities can be modified when this activity is intense. In any case, they are expendable and only by altering the source can a flow of subroutines be stopped.
      Yet, the security doesn't overwhelm the persunits because its programmed to avoid clogging the systems to guard. This kind of limitations explain why no one use these tools to indistinctively erase or corrupt what surroung them : they all have to keep the whole network hosting them functional. And often enough, there are safe fail measures preventing total corruption of whole memory banks at the lowest level. Thus most "weapons" are actually used within the range of "legal" process operations.

      It's my plan, yes. Makes the party half female/male, besides I love female characters. And the more I thought about Cyan, the more I believe it would work better.
