May Anniversary Swap Requests

Happy two year anniversary, Aefenglom!

As you know, we just updated our Bestiary to add three new Monster types, and our Magic page to add a new ability for Witches, all of which will be available on May 4th with the start of our second Fourth Wall Event.

Whether you've been with us as a player for a long time, or you're still on the newer side, we appreciate you sticking with us! We know that sometimes, you just need a change. Normally when it comes to swaps, we do them case by case for those who are having trouble playing their characters as their initial choice, and those who want to swap into Dragon or Fae need to drop and reapply. But this May, with new stuff available, we feel it'd be unfair if we didn't offer a freebie swap for any current player who wants to request one! This will not require a reapplication, even for swapping into Dragon, Fae, or Dryad.

ICly, this can be done any day during May after your request is approved. Characters who are swapped will have a strange dream of either themselves as the new Monster type or as a Witch, or they will dream of joining a group of faceless people of that type. This dream can take whatever shape you'd like, whether it's a dream of going to join a gaggle of Coven Witches for classes, or a dream of dancing with Dryads under the moonlight. As they dream, they will sleepwalk to the Looking Glass House, and will walk through their mirror. They will not be aware of "going home", or that they walked into their mirror. They will return immediately through their mirror and wake from the dream in the Looking Glass House with their current changes vanishing or receding. Maybe Geardagas thinks it has a better fit for you?

This is not a process any NPC or PC has IC control over, and the Coven will be just as confused as your character is!

After that, it's up to you how quickly you would like them to change into their new form, from a minimum of the month of May to fully complete their new changes, or a maximum of the full 9 months if you want to do it gradually.

You have until June 1st to fill out the form and request a swap from whatever your character is currently to whatever new form you would like to play - Witch, or any available Monster type. Please note that for fairness' sake, we will require an expanded justification for anyone who wants to swap into Dragon, Fae, or Dryad.

Player:
Character:
Current Type: Is your character currently a Witch, a Turnskin, what?
Desired Swap: What do you want your character to be instead?
Second Choice: You can just type NA if you want any type except Dragon, Fae, or Dryad. If you are going for one of those three, what is your second choice if your justification doesn't meet standards? You can choose to remain the same if you don't get your choice.
Justification: For most types, a sentence or two stating why you want this change is sufficient. For Dragon, Fae, or Dryad swaps, we require a bit more thought - how does this Monster fit (or conflict against) the character's personality? What development do you want to explore with it? Etc. A paragraph or two is enough.

May Anniversary Swap Requests are now closed!
