Y'all know I love polls. I couldn't resist one more since the Discord server only collected ranks on race and class.
Vote for Starmourn! Don't hurt Poffy.

I will certainly not have any OOC commentary tied to my actual character.

well I am picking Scatterhome because I wantd to see how that city will fit what I want, as a human, I will maybe alt with the other citys though just to check them out though.
Thanks

Otherwise, I have no qualms creating a human nanoseer or Jin Scoundrel.
I've been vacillating a lot, but the fact that Song seems the least popular so far might solidify it as my choice.
No worries to the Song population! If/when I alt, that's where I'm going lol
Partly I settled on Shen because I figured they'll be more niche.

While I am a bit disappointed with its portrayal in Martias and the Angel (was hoping for something a bit more dystopian, more Shadowrun-esque), Scatterhome doesn't appeal to me and I already tried authoritarian orgs in previous MUDs so I'll stick with my initial choice.

That said, playing an Elgan, I will likely end up on the wrong end of that dystopian hierarchy but eh, screw it.

I do hope it balances some, I may change my initial creation depending on this thread lol

Assuming you can talk about that, of course. If it's all a secret that's fine too.
I liked the story, by the way, it was excellent writing. I only ask because I spoke to a few others who, like me, were slightly disappointed by the communist utopia slant, because what initially drew me/them was the dystopian flavour. I liked the idea of playing a resentful urchin born in the Litharge, or even one of the privileged working to fight the corruption from within.
Purely out of curiosity, did anyone choose CA specifically because they liked the communist utopia concept? And was anyone turned off by the destratification in the lore?
