FEB 2017 NEWS & UPDATES - Achera - 02-19-2017
News and Updates
Staff has been hard at work trying to stabilize the site better and bring you guys new content! It has been awhile since our last update, but fear not! We have some exciting news to share with you all. We are proud to say that there are 3 new species added to the guidebook as well as a new curse! Please welcome the new lesser species: the Helvates, the Kirkastas, and the Driares and the new curse, Chimeras!
We also have a new item available in the shop called Reverse Reality. It allows same couple sex to have a baby for even for a male to have a baby in a female and male couple. It is an enchanted item that can be applied to any piece of jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and more. The wearer of the item is the one who will carry the child. In order for this to work, the person must wear the item for the duration of their pregnancy from conception to delivery. It may be removed for up to half a day, but must be immediately placed back on or they risk losing the child. This allows for bathes and other activities if the wearer does not want to damage the item. Once the child is born, the item no longer works and acts like a normal piece of jewelry.
Staff has been busy trying to create a better user experience for our members on the board. As part of that, the guidebook and the species pages will be receiving a new updated look in the coming weeks. At the moment you will see a new navigation bar added running across all the species and map pages. There will be a new splash page for species added so the dropdown link to the species is not as long as it is now. Please bear with us as we try to make this transition! The elementals image as also been updated to keep in the style with the rest of the species art. We are excited to bring you these new updates and hope you guys enjoy them!
New Members!
Welcome all new members! We hope you enjoy your stay in Antarsia. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to poke staff. We're here to help you!
New Species!
As mentioned before, we have 3 new species and a new curse. The Helvates are a race of wolves who have adapted to living with the demons. Each one shares similar curses of the house they live with. The Kirkastas are the Helvates opposite; they are wolves who have adapted to living with angels. Just like the Helvates, they feature similar curses to the house they live with as a way to make life easier when living in coexistence. The driares are a race of equine. They are considered the most diverse group of creatures in Antarsia. Driares are found throughout Antarsia from living within kingdoms to having their own herds in the wild. Each has adapted to its habitat much like the Helvates and Kirkastas. These all are considered lesser species as they are created through two Gods' combined magic.
The Chimeras are a new curse that affect hybrids. No matter how small the percentage, a hybrid can be affected by this curse. However, unlike other curses it is at random when it will appear. Two parents can have multiple children but only one exhibit the chimera trait. The opposite is just as likely where they have multiple children who all exhibit the curse except for one.
Go show these new guys some love!
Champions & New Plot Positions!
With the introduction of the new lesser species, we now have Champions! Champions are the lesser species' equivalent to the oracles. Champions are an individual agreed upon by the two gods that created the new species. They are often gifted in some form that sets them apart from the other member. Most often they are the leaders of their group but not always. A champion can turn down the position. Rarely is there more then one champion per population but it is not unheard of.
Each new species has champions available for plot positions! We have added other new plot positions for leaders in various herds or packs. Go check them out!
Suggestions!
Staff has been working on trying to bring what members would like to see most to the site. If you have any suggestions for a new species, a new item, or any other type of suggestion, feel free to post in SUGGESTIONS or message a staff member!
Plot!
The plot has started! It is still in the early stages so if you are not apart of it already, feel free to jump right in! You can find the plot HERE.
This will be moving into the next stages within the next week or two. At any point you are allowed to jump in with new characters or leave if you no longer wish to participate. This is an open thread, so anyone is welcomed!
