Hello, everyone, and welcome to the opening of Limelight Stage! What the heckies, IDK how we are here already, but I guess that's the power of time. I'm excited that you're all here to join me, and I thank literally everyone and their mother who has helped me with setting up stuff, giving me ideas, etc. I wanted to try and make a game that would be my own personal maximum indulgence catered specifically to my tastes, but I'm really glad that it seemed to intrigue a lot of other people as well so even if I made this game to my taste, I plan to run a game that will hopefully be something that everyone can find SOME enjoyment in!!

I will say I appreciate the patience that everyone has! I've never tried an AU game (or have done many AUs in general) so this is actually new territory for me, and you'll likely see me rearranging things, rewording things, changing things, etc. I'll try to remember to notate when I do update any of the pages so you'll likely see a LOT of changes in the coming weeks. Months. Years. If you've been in one of my games, you shouldn't be surprised, ok, ok.

I know one thing that is causing some confusion is the overall themes/messages of this game. Is it plot heavy? Is it dark? Is it pvp? What is the whole point of any of this? I'll try to clarify a few things in some of the plot/setting posts for sure! But to give a basic rundown:

Everyone here has been given alternate memories once they arrived in this world. As they regain memories, there will be questions as to "why?" and "how?" when it comes to how they ended up this way. To answer these questions, you'll have to uncover some of the secrets of this world and that includes the secrets of the eight families. It isn't just your memories that have been forgotten. There will be many opportunities for that along the way

.

It's pretty vague because it's a game where part of the goal is to unlock the lore of the world! It's inspired a lot by stories like Mushishi, Honkai Starrail, Made in Abyss, Hunter x Hunter, etc. I'll do my best to help make things feel a little more concrete though, but I appreciate you all willing to work with my brain until then.

This is not a game that is built around the idea of pvp or pve, this is a game about unlocking and exploring the lore of the world and the lore within your own character. There will be pvp moments, there will be pve moments! It will have dark themes because identity and self can be dark, but also it is not meant to be a hopeless or stagnant game either (whether I can succeed on that is TBD but we'll see what happens!!). Also if you wonder if there will be physical and mental harm in events and games, the answer is yes.

Hopefully that gives off some of the vibes I'm aiming for! So let me get to some general announcements that I think are important!!

• Apps are now closed for the time being. This is to keep me sane in terms of getting everything situated and to let initial teams settle. I'll have to create a new intro for new characters that magically appear on a boat, you know!! You can swap characters if you would like. Also if a couple last minute apps appear, I'll probably let them in if it's within the first week so don't be surprised if someone gets a new teammate.

• Abilities and Powers: I'll work on this upcoming week, I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE ON THAT.

• If you drop a character, I do not care if you still rp threads afterwards. There will be hiatus/drop options where a character can still be on the boat, just on a different floor. More on this later.

• Profile team templates are in announcements, I'll link them proper to the actual post this weekend. Thanks Cleo (she made them)!!!

• You'll see some of the teams get buffs (more flavortext) to their profile soon! I'll announce it when done!

• Quests and missions to be unlocked later! Stay tuned, there will be updates on that in the near future!

• Yes, we're still working on locations, I'm sorry forgive me.

• The first event is happening right now! The first team specific game will be on the weekend of August 22nd-August 24th, more on that later.

• If you're interested in becoming a gamerunner or running a game OR event, feel free to email limelight.stage.mods@gmail.com.

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOT STILL IN PROGRESS but I feel like at this point, most of you know who I am as a person and many know who I am as a mod. i didn't edit this for like eight months. But I'll definitely try to be way more cooler as a mod for a game that isn't just a structured musebox!!

Katy's innocent though, her only crime is being Miguel.
