beneath the stars

It's been a week since our newest expansion officially launched! And, I know, I know... some of you already have a lot of feelings that you need to air out. But canon updating in your games is a struggle! And so is finding PSL partners! Luckily, that's what we're here for.

This is a post for you to play out all the Shadowbringers-related content you might be dying to write. Behind-the-scenes nonsense? Between-the-scenes angst? It's all welcome here!

1. Toplevel your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops.
2. Reply to other people's top levels!
3. Have fun!

⚔ Please clearly mark all spoilers in your thread subject lines. Clearly indicate whatever spoiler preferences you may have. We're only a week into the expansion, officially, and there's no shame if you're not far in it or haven't started it yet.

⚔ You are welcome to play characters who are new to Shadowbringers. However, please try to avoid topleveling with icons and descriptions that convey major plot-related spoilers.

If you aren't certain about a character's playability, feel free to PM

No, I'm simply a bit tired.

[ The best lies were the ones based on truth. In a way, she is tired. It's simply an exhausted soul rather than an exhausted body. So Hen changes the subject. ]

How long have you been Captain here?

[Well, she won't be all too effective against sin eaters if she's too tired. Lyna's certain she's hauling something else around, not exhaustion, but she lets it go. In her experience, all the Exarch's acquaintances are like this in some way. They brought burdens to Norvrandt they can't even make one another understand.]

Years. How many isn't important. They're all the same, or they were, until the last three or so.

[She doesn't mean to lay it on thick that the Exarch's visitors have given them all hope - rather the opposite. What she wants is for Hen and hers to understand what it is they're carrying here.]

[ Hen nods. Three years...about as long as the Scions have been here. She wonders just how much things have changed in between the first summons and the last. But more important, is the Exarch.]

So being the Captain of the Guard, I imagine you work closely with the Exarch correct? What's your read of him?

[ She knows better than to hope, but... ]

[That answer comes easily.]

He's a good man. Easily the best of us.

[Lyna takes one chakram from its loop at her side, not to throw, but to give her hand something to do while she talks.]

All he does, he does for the good of this world and her people. They say it has been so from the moment he arrived. I've never seen anything to suggest otherwise, even when it is clear what he gives can cost him dearly.

[Those moments are her least certain. At times he folds upon himself, as if grieving. He's terrible at hiding how he feels, so he closes himself off in the Ocular so nobody can see - nobody except the captain of his guard.]

[ Hen listens with a soft smile on her face, clearly amused. If she didn't know any better, she'd say there was a bit more than simple loyalty here. ]

Sounds like you hold him in a high regard, not that I could blame you, seems everyone here does.

[ No she isn't going to prod at the sleeping coeurl just yet. Hen's seen those chakrams at work and would rather keep her head on her shoulders. ]

[Lyna won't cut down an ally outright! Though her teasing would be off the mark if she tried it.]

He oversaw the building of the city from nothing. Gave the use of anything people could find in the tower. We have our hope because of him.

[There's a certainty he carries in his steps, at that.]
