[ DELVE & DELIVER ]
one slot remaining
dystopian - sci-fi - exploration - magic

You wake up in the body of an android, memories of your past life slipping from your mind despite your best efforts of remembrance until nothing but inklings and the possibility of the future remains. You sit up from your cryopod, pale green liquid sloshing at your disturbance, and a line of text scrolls across your visor.

Welcome to your new life as a DELVER. Your mission is to explore the many realms in search of STARDUST--a valuable material with innate magical properties that is used to accomplish a variety of logic-defying deeds.

You are authorized to use whatever means you deem necessary to complete this mission, though any consequences will be yours and yours alone to bear.

Do you accept?
[ YES ] / [ YES ]

the world.
- STARDUST is a material that possesses magical energy. It can come in a variety of forms, from of variety of sources. The type of energy it contains depends on its source, and its effects can be inferred from its color, luster, and special characteristics.

- ARCANA-TECH refers to the broad category of devices that draw their effects from a mixture of stardust and technology. They have very specific uses but remain stable during transfers being realms. Ex. A sword that generates blades of air when swung.

- CONSTELLATIONS refer to the powers that can be gained from consuming stardust. They give users control over a certain domain, but the specific abilities change between realms. Ex. A storm constellation that gives the ability to summon lightning in one realm and the ability to manipulate air currents in another.

- SYNTHESIZERS are a type of machine, which can be used in place of oral consumption for androids to absorb stardust. Player androids come equipped with this technology and can use it to gain constellations from any stardust they harvest.

- SYNCHRONIZERS are a type of technology that bind items to their owner. They function as an easy access storage space, keeping unused items in a rift dimension and recalling them upon the user's request.

- THE PLANETARIUM refers to the ever-expanding group of realms that are currently colonized by humanity--or whatever remains of it, anyway.

- REALM-HOPPING refers to the method of traveling between realms.

gameplay mechanics.
- Each player starts with a basic ship, which will allow them to realm-hop. I will request one to three words, and a new realm will be generated. You can travel at any point in time, and you can return to generated realms.

- After arriving at a new realm, your job will be to harvest stardust. This can be done through a variety of actions such as combat, exploration, or negotiations, depending on your preferences.

- Once you collect stardust, you can choose to synthesize it, which will consume it, or to sell it back to your company in exchange for credits, which can be used to buy arcana-tech, appearance modifications, upgrades for your ship, or other stardust. Used stardust can also be un-synthesized at any point and traded in.

- Deaths and injuries are to be expected and will likely occur several times between each collection of stardust. The monsters are dangerous, and the citizens are cutthroat. Your character can always recover or reawaken on the ship with all of their items. Use your immortality to its fullest and probe the weakness of your opponents.

- Anything can be upgraded in any way if you have the right materials. For example, arcana-tech and constellations can gain additional abilities, and your ship could gain weaponry. Be creative, and ask if you're ever curious.

known realms.


the glistening city | starting location & shopping
A capitalist empire that floats atop a still sea. Venders hark their supplies and services from drifting boats, and mega-corporations advertise offices and merchandise from steel-forged islands, earning it the affectionate nickname: "Every-ware."


the drifting archipelago | keywords: quiet, promising, home
A collection of islands, laden with an innate magic that causes them to constantly move. Some drift along like sea turtles in an ocean current, and others blink, changing scenery between one breath and the next. On top of them sits a cheerful village, long since accustomed to their home's oddities.


house of the dragon king | keywords: mystical, grand
A tower of sleek architecture that looms across the horizons, standing sharp against a backdrop of billowing waves that rival the heavens. Underneath the water, it stretches down into the depths of the ocean. A variety of traps and puzzles lie in wait for adventurers and heroes, with the last being the very dragon king himself. Yet, when it opens, why is it a moonlit garden that lies in wait?


isles of elysian | keywords: shore, serene, infinite
A beautiful pink shoreline that stretches into the horizon, frozen in the dreams of sunset. Walk down these beaches and they will continue underneath your feet forever. Sail towards the landmasses on the horizon, and you'll find more locations of picturesque serenity. Sleep, and allow yourself to find peace eternal.


the cinema house | keywords: knowledge, haunting, dogs
A quaint little cinema, tucked away in the space between realms. It's said that you can see any memory, any dream dancing across its colored screens. The owner, a mysterious woman with a kitsune mask, is more than happy to let you have a try if you're willing to help her with some housework, so why not give it a try?


the cheering arboretum | keywords: beautiful, friendly
The spirit of the world flows freely here, taking the form of swirling, dancing fish. The shine in splendid colors, beautiful iridescent shades formed from the many lifeforms that swim through the seas. After all, does the same life not flow through all of their veins?

factions discovered.

delve & deliver | stardust seller | the glistening city
A corporation that collects stardust using androids. They are responsible for the player's awakening as an android and for their ship and initial gear. Though they allow their employees some semblance of agency, its balanced out by their low buying prices. Gotta make money somehow in this economy.
