conversations.value: *A handful of strangers wake up on an obsidian disk, suspended above the clouds with only one way down. Soon, they are thrust into a series of difficult situations with no clear purpose. It becomes obvious that somebody, or something, is judging their every action. But why? And what are the consequences if it's displeased?*
  
  Fantasy/Drama/Light Horror
  
  This game is centered on the characters. With that in mind, I need well-built, carefully thought out characters. If it takes you some time to build one, don't worry, this story will stay open and looking for players for at least 24 hours.
  
  **Important Notes on Character Creation**
  
  Characters are modern-day, real-world humans. Other than that, they can be anyone. A young woman studying law in Hong Kong? Sure. A professional fortune-teller from Germany? Go for it! They do not need to speak English, all characters will be able to understand each other.
  
  Your initial strengths and weaknesses must be those of a moral nature. The wild cards and later cards can be of any sort, but they must start with strengths and weaknesses of the spirit. That said, feel free to write your own virtues and vices.
  
  Due to the incredible variety of human experience, it is highly recommended that you author your own natures and sub-plots.
  
  Hep me out in getting to know your character. In the comment box when creating your character for submission, tell me your character's greatest fear.
