![]() If there's still room, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. PFS: Been laying PF2E society for a few months now at my local game store. So I have a general idea of what I'm doing. PbP: I'm currently in a non-society game for Starfinder, but haven't gotten a chance to mess around on the forums beyond that. ![]()
![]() Kind of got inspired to write more of Flux's backstory after reading The Lion Cleric's backstory for their character. Flux's Backstory: The Vents, Liavara.
Around 12am Dr. Alphonse Halvale's day had been blessfully serene. His team had been getting some interesting results from this week's readings of the engimatic beings called the Dreamers. and the petty squables between his team and some the gas-miners seemed to have thankfully calmed down for the time being. So, Dr. Halvale was more than alittle upset when he awoke to the sound of someone rapidly knocking at his door. "Hey boss! Hey, are you awake? I gotta talk to ya about something! It's big, HUGE even. Could change everthing!", said the offender, its insistent crackly voice given it away instantly. With a heavy sigh, Dr. Halvale slowly made his way to the front door of his small apartment and cracked the door open just enough to see the small purple robot hanging on his door. "Flux, by Sarenrae's merciful light, if this is anything less than a Dreamer personally wishing to make contact with me, then I'm going back to bed." "Naw, it's even better than that. I QUIT!" With a quick hop, the spider-legged robot landed on the ground and offered a handful of papers to his his supervisor. "What?!" Slamming his door open, Alphonse grabbed Flux by the arm and dragged him into his apartment. "You can't quit!" Flux simply patted the suddenly stressed man on the shoulder as he spoke. "What are ya talking about? Course I can quit. Already filled out my two weeks right here, so everything is order. But, it ain't like its a permanent thing or something. I mean, the only reason I'm quiting is because I don't know how long I'll be gone. The dream was pretty vague, so finding out everthing could take awhile." Slapping a hand against the wall, Alphonse braced himself as he felt his blood pressure spike. "You're quiting, throwing away years that you spent helping me research the Dreamers, because you had a dream?" "Yeah...well not exactly. Boss, I know I told you about that dream with the earthquake and the huge city and the giant crater and the... well anyway I found it. I found the dream place! Its that new colony on Ikirit. It has the city, the crater, everthing. This means the Dreamers finally asked ME a question, ME! After all these years of me asking them stuff and they finally want me to help them with something. So, I gotta go find out what happened on Ikirit so I can tell my Dream Pals." Massaging his temples, Dr. Halvale could only glare at the annoyingly upbeat automaton as it bounced in place in barely contained excitement. "...Fine. Go waste everyone's time frolicking on some distant blighting planet because of some dream that the Dreamer, who nobody has ever spoken to, maybe gave you. But if you come back here with anything less than ground-breaking insight into our research, I'll personally sell you for scrap." "Geeze boss, kinda harsh ain't ya. Well, whatever. I know the Dreamers want me on Ikirit and I know that whatever's there is has to be important for our research. I'll make ya proud, just trust ya buddy Flux!" ![]()

Backstory:
Flux has also been sort of an oddball, even before he gained the ability to manipulate reality. Originally build to study the Dreamers of Liavara, Flux performed his duties with a chipper attitude. Every day, before it powered down to recharge its batteries, it would ask the Dreamers multiple questions so that they could answer it in its dreams after it had powered down.
One day, it had a dream of a city that had eaten its world. Shadowy beings lived their lives upon this metropolis until a great tremor shook the world. Racing to the spot where the tremors had originated, Flux found itself at the edge of a massive crater. When it turned to look back from where it came, Flux saw a city abandoned save for other automatons that continued to work in a city now reclaimed by nature. It wasn't until a few months later, when news of the newly discovered Ikirit reached Liavara, that it knew that the Dreamers were asking him to solve the mystery of Ikirit. Why they wanted to know this information didn't matter, its Dream Pals had finally asked IT a question! Appearance: ![]()
![]() I’m thinking I’ll play a Human Witchwarper Icon. She’s going to Ikirit for two reasons:
2: Due to how her powers work (interacting with alternate dimensions), she is starting to feel alittle overwhelmed where she is now. Since she subconsciously experiences alternate versions of herselves’ lives while she sleeps. So she feels she needs a change of pace |
