My name is Seleon Fotos, I am a part of the Lucernian Army and have been in the war for 20(-ish?) years. Ever since my brother, Jediah, had died in battle and transferred the blue light that is powerful among regular Lucernian light, It had also led me to a mission to seal Pandora and put an end to the war.

I am Keleshenses II of the Nyolnish Empire, and I am conflicted. I am old, my body weakens, and my mind plays tricks upon me. My priests tell me that I am riddled with rot and will likely not survive another two years, at best. Why is it now that the deities have seen fit to test my judgment?

For nearly 20 years, my chosen heir seemed certain. Certainly, when my firstborn son Keleshenses III was stolen away from me and carried off to faraway Cuivas to ensure their independence, we tried to bargain for his safe and immediate return. We even considered a covert strategy to steal him back. But after five years of this, the Empire needed to see that its emperor knew when to cut ties and move on. And so did its enemies.

Thus, Anashipi, my second son, was treated as my heir in place of Keleshenses, who was regarded as dead. Anashipi spent some years studying at the Academy of Mur, but has for the most part remained by my side learning courtly functions and building relationships with the imperial representatives. In many regards, he has ruled alongside myself. He is now 25 years old and is certainly ready to take the reins of the Empire. I am so proud of him.

But there is now a fly in the ointment. A man claiming to be my firstborn son has arrived at my palace. He speaks with a thick Cuivasi accent, carries himself like a brash, godless brigand, and insists on being called Celasinsi, but he lacks the complexion of a northerner and my priests who have examined him claim he is about 31 years old, which would make sense for how old Keleshenses would be…Deities forgive me, I had him interrogated for a month to confirm his identity and ferret out his allegiances. By all accounts, it seems that this Celasinsi might be, in fact, my firstborn son.

But how do I choose between a son who has spent his entire life learning what it is to rule and this rough cutthroat who is entitled to be my heir by all of our laws of succession and has only lived in my palace as a mistrusted prisoner for a little more than a month? Anashipi is of the opinion that Celasinsi is not his brother but in fact a Cuivasi plant meant to steal the throne and destroy the Empire from the inside out, but his interest in the throne conflicts with his judgment, even if the common people trust him more as one who has lived his entire life as a Nyolnish prince.

Meanwhile, Celasinsi asserts, as he did the day he fell upon the palace steps covered in the dirt of months of overland travel, his birthright to the throne, and on that ground alone he has garnered the support of many nobles and traditionalists who would rather a brash and inexperienced Emperor whose inheritance would not set a dangerous precedent for their own…while potentially providing them with a naïve and malleable emperor. That said, if Celasinsi is indeed my firstborn son, then is it not my duty as his father to pass the throne to him, to the unfortunate chagrin of Anashipi?

I can only place my faith in the Rays of Murlat to guide my decision well…the Empire may not survive a war of succession.

Hi! My (13F) best friend (??) is a shadow. Well, kinda. He’s not literally shadow or anything. He just looks like one. Like, he’s all person shaped, but he looks like a shadow with gold eyes. He can hide in and move like shadows too.

Let me back up a bit. So when I was like four or five me and my dad went to some Forrest somewhere. I think it was a national park? I dunno some kind of tourist attraction like that. I don’t really remember. But anyway, I went off the path and got lost until I found some kind of pendant in some kind of rock. I don’t remember any more details of it. Part of the reason I remember that much is because I did a writing assignment on it in second grade. Anyway, I fell asleep and when I woke up I was back with my dad. At the time we thought it was super lucky but actually it was my friend who brought me back to him.

I wore the pendant as like, a lucky charm since then. But I never knew he was there too. It was only in the last couple months that I have known.

So a few months ago, dad and I moved, which was super lame since my other friends all live far away now. But anyway, I guess he got a bit comfortable over the years cause I started noticing things being off. Like, things moving or being cleaned. Once he folded my laundry and really didn’t think I’d notice haha.

Anyway, I thought he was just like, a house ghost or something which was neat. He was super nervous to come out at first. He also seemed surprised that I wasn’t scared of him but I don’t see what’s scary about him. He isn’t even taller than me or anything.

Anyway, he couldn’t seem to talk so I got him a whiteboard so he could talk which he really loved.

Through that he told me that he wasn’t really a ghost, but he also didn’t know what he was or where he came from. He also doesn’t have a name. He didn’t really want to tell me he was tied to the pendant at first but he did anyway. I didn’t push him to or anything though. Turns out he can’t be far from it so he doesn’t really have a choice in being here. He said he doesn’t mind though.

I still wear the pendant all the time too. It’d be really mean to leave him stuck here all day. He’d get super bored. For some reason he can’t move the pendant himself. He doesn’t know why either.

Let’s see. I should probably answer some obvious questions before anything else.

Yes he has been around for all those years before I knew him. He’s mostly just kinda hung out for what I know. I would have thought he didn’t show himself earlier cause he’d be concerned I’d say something, which would be fair since I was a little chatterbox back then. But him being scared that I would have been afraid makes me feel kinda sad.

The reason no one ever noticed before was because he mostly just hides in shadows. They look a bit darker when he’s there but otherwise you totally can’t notice, except for his eyes sometimes. Now that I know him though he comes out more.

The range he can be from the pendent apparently changes too, but it’s usually about the size of a building. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Uhm, I actually can’t think of any other obvious questions right now so I guess that’s it. Until you guys ask of course, if you want to haha.

Oh! PS. Since he doesn’t have a name I’ve been trying to come up with one for him. If you have any suggestions that’d be super cool!

Ask me anything that you want to know about the life of a large bat-like creature.

My life's goal is to become a ranked summoner, gain my surname and crest and join the Lunar Research Squad.

Whether you'd like to know about the Summoner's Association of Solomond, magic, the local environment, the difference between Monsters and Familiars, the wonders and terrors of the moon, the tower and its history or just me; I'm surrounded by enough books and researchers here to answer just about any questions you may have.

Yep, you read the title right, I’m a werecat. My name is Buddy and my ancestors have been werecats for as long as we can remember. I have three forms, a human form, a feral werecat form and an anthropomorphic werecat form that resembles a reddish rust Maine coon with green eyes. I draw my power through my cat’s eye talisman. I’d show my face but considering how clever people online are, I think someone would be able to find me and I don’t really wanna have to deal with the repercussions. Anyway, ask away folks. 🐾😺

Wasssa' Dudes. I'd tell you my full name, but it's not a wise idea for demons to give their true names, know what I'm saying? In other words, just call me Ryle The Riot.

Since I'm not in Hell anymore, allow me to give context about it, in case I reference something from Earth's #1 winner for "Worst Places to go"

Hell is an open bureaucracy and "Constitutional"/Puppet Aristocracy to heaven, with 7 [fake] representatives of the sins and a puppet King Satan & Queen Lucifer/Mercury

• King Satan is the only demon in hell with a spot in heaven, he's mostly an ambassador and chief prosecutor to God's Court.
• Queen Lucifer/Mercury is the more popular ruler. Not just for her looks, but also the fact she instigated independence of hell (which failed, but who expected anyone to win against God). Fun fact, she recently came out as the Roman Goddess Mercury (don't know if she's related/equivalent to Aphrodite, yet, but it makes her motive for independence is a bit more sympathetic)

We don't like heaven, but we are required to obey their rules since God created it or whatever.

If you read the title, you're probably wondering how I represent Wrath if I am considered the least violent.

1. I'm son of the Red Horseman of War & Conflict, so Nepotism is involved.
2. Wrath, for me, is not about striking first, it's about angering and provoking people to "let loose" on whoever is close
3. If I were, hypothetically, a God (which I can't because, y'know), I would be prayed for to start revolutions by placing the wrong things at the right time, sow distrust in current governments, and just insure rebellion victory.
4. I am an incredibly lazy smartass, even by Sloth's Rep (he at least shows up late, but sober). I do things slowly & apathetically, I always make things difficult for reps and worshippers alike, and I love to do my own thing.
5. I'm not a Sloth Rep because of the aforementioned reasons 1-3, plus the fact I am an innate rebel who refuses to listen to anybody. That and I just don't care about anyone's feelings or opinions unless I agree can find a loophole to shut them up.
6. In my time on Earth, I have yet to do my job, not because I don't want to but because I am bound to the service a demon hunter, an angel, and a Twistling (half-demon) kid I caused (long story) and bound to (I hate the first two, but I can admit they're better parents without feeling envy/bitterness).

Anyway, ask me whatever you want. I don't care if it's stupid.

I'm Joe Azzuro, a Buffalo-born guy who got tangled up in the mob life. My old man had ties to the mob, and my life took a dark turn in '87 when I ended up in some trouble. That's when I decided I was going to be a gangster.

After some years in the Calabretta crime family, I broke away and met Frank O'Shea in '89. I worked my way up, became a Capo, and ran a pizzeria, which was a front for my real business - dope and guns.

For 12 years, things ran smoothly until the Feds came knocking in 2002. I served time and came out in 2006, rebuilding my empire. Trouble followed, but in 2008, I took out Frank O'Shea and took over his family.

Things looked good for a while, and I'm still around today, a 55-year-old guy with back problems and 80 million in cash.

So, yeah, I was abducted by aliens and turned into their representative. That’s not even the strangest part, the aliens look like cartoon characters! My guide for instance, Via, looks like a bright blue poodle puppy from a kid’s cartoon like Paw Patrol or Bluey. So I was taken back to their home planet and experimented on, which ended up turning me into an anthropomorphic lady coywolf (Coyote and Wolf hybrid) named Melody in hopes of her being their representative on Earth. As for superpowers, she’s got standard cartoon physics like pulling stuff out of thin air and being able to be flatten like a pancake with no damage taken. So, yeah, now I’m having to navigate my new life with Melody in the background. So ask away folks.

My name is Chad Hill. I am the former student of methamphetamine kingpin Walter White. I posted here because I was reminded that tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of his death. When he was a teacher at my school, I never respected him that much. I remember when me and my girlfriend found him cleaning my car when I took it for a routine clean. It was funny back then, but now I feel a mixture of emotions.

I got my start in 71’, I was 25, my father was close with Genovese so I had an easy in. When I was 37 I was led into a room, their was high ranking members of the family, that night I had my making ceremony, in 1995 I became a Capo-Regime in the family, i now operate a crew or mostly older men, I’m now encroaching on 77.

i am s superhero in a world full of superheroes (duh)

my father is the world greatest superhero of his generation

each generation the people choose a villain and hero to represent each generation

my dream is to be my generation's ideal hero

i always lose my fights which is my main problem

due to my powers i never take damage, but that doesn't stop me from losing

i am a deity cast down to the mortal realm by my father to learn about mortals and how they live
my role in my pantheon is to embody good and hope but my ignorance led me to cause harm and i was cast down

i need to find something called valhaly to return to my realm but there are challenges and villains who try to stop me for reason unknown to me

what valhaly is is unknown even to me, it could be a person, an object, a place, a state of being or other

each day i get a single power that helps me find the challenges and obstacles in my journey

My titles are as follows:

Interim President

Head councilman of the nationalist worker's Union

Chief Councillor of the committee of national stability

First Marshall of the People's Revolutionary Defence Army

First Marshall of the People's agency of ideological purity

General constable of the Litio Union of security

And High Court Judge

I rule over the planet of Litio as aside from it's moons it is the only planet in the system.

Hi. I'm Nova. I've just started uni and am just getting used to life a long way from home. So, uh, questions would be nice.

Also I have a power. I was born with it.

The virtual reality Cocoon costs several months' worth of typical wages in post-2050 society, so it had to go on a payment plan.

GeekSquad brought it to my domicile and installed and set it up for me. I tipped them well.

While the nanowires connect to my brain through the ears, it dilates my sense of time so that a month inside the simulation (at max setting) is only going to pass a minute in the real world. Prisons are getting done away with in favor of these time-dilating cocoons. Saves so much in operating costs.

But unlike an inmate, I can choose my own simulations. I use it when I fall asleep, so I plan to live a good, long life in the 8 hours that I sleep. Then after waking up the next day, I can get back in that simulation again to pick up where I left off, next time I sleep.

Unlike traditional dreams, I remember the simulated life vividly like it was really lived. It's replacing traditional education as we speak because children can become Ph.D. candidates overnight due to going to virtual schools for virtual years in them.

I decided to live a 2nd childhood with my adult memories and experiences intact. That way, I become a child prodigy in this simulation.

This is turning out to be a far better childhood than I had lived my first time! Too bad it took me until I was a senior citizen to access the means to get a second childhood. But it's the most fun I've had in decades! AMA.

Edit: *IAmA simple ...

I farm 20 acres of land for my liege the Prince of the nearby Elven hold.

I cultivate grain mostly.

I have one unicorn but he is getting on in the years poor beast, he will have problems pulling the plow soon.
