Philosopher Caste Recovery Centre -
The Chosen's "Scorched Earth" policy in regards to Corruption did not apply to their own assets, particularly archons. One of the Philosopher Caste's primary duties was cleansing Corruption from important members of the paracology.
#PennedPossibilities 630 — Is your MC receptive to warnings and advice given by others?
Hardly. The only time he ever listens is when either Junk or Dante give him any advice. Warnings as well, to be fair. A warning is generally taken as a challenge in his eyes, and advice can and will be either taken into consideration or discarded, one or the other. Sometimes he's an idiot. If the words come from Dante and / or Junk, however, he's liable to actually listen. He has a habit of doing rash, stupid things because of a fiery temper and they've been able to stop him. On occasion, Cosmia has been able to change his mind as well, but it's a rarity.

Acceptable Collateral Damage -
Chosen doctrine explicitly stated that any "third party" collateral damage was acceptable in the response to even a hint of Host activity.
#HexIsland - eine kleines Spiel, um dunkle Zeiten aufzuhellen: Lasst uns #HexIsland-Mikrosettings erschaffen!
Hex für Hex erstellen wir eine Insel. Ab MORGEN stelle ich hier täglich einen Prompt ein und zwar für:
- Eine Hexfeld-Beschreibung
- Einen Eintrag für eine Zufallsbegegnungstabelle
- Einen Abenteuer-Schauplatz
- Etwas Anderes – z.B. ein Monster, eine Hintergrundinformation etc.
Jede Beschreibung sollte idealiter in einen einzelnen Post passen.

#PennedPossibilities 628 — Tell us about the trauma your antagonist / villain has endured. (If they have any.)
There was this one time that Dr. Death broke a nail in early adulthood...
This idiotic arsehole has never truly "suffered" in the ways we normies and peasants would understand. He's always had enough money to rid him of any troubles he might have.
A recently completed city map commission where I was given complete creative freedom within the requirements of the various districts layout and the dragon theme (which I made the most of!).
Homestead Interior -
Although not the norm, "single family" dwellings did exist among the Chosen, usually for people who did dangerous or disturbing work at home.
#PennedPossibilities 627 — How does your MC have their home decorated?
Alexios has an interesting cyber-flat. His home is neat, decorated with a few posters from his days playing in bands, and he has a nice bedroom area and a small kitchenette. It's his private space. It's clean, well-kept, and cozy. There's even a sitting room area with a television, sofas, and some gaming equipment for whenever he actually has the time for relaxation. His musical instruments are there as well. Not that he spends much time at home, of course, but he enjoys it whenever he's there.
(I'm including a screenshot photo from #Cyberpunk2077 for reference, just to help.)
This week saw the release of Dark Deity 2, a fantastic turn-based CRPG by Sword & Axe LLC. They commissioned me to create the map of Verroa, a lore rich fantasy world that proved a prefect fit for my approach to map making! Such a fun project to contribute to!
Happy #MusiciansDay! 
I'm a musician and visual artist soundtracking the 
MOULE WORLD with multi-genre electronic music and cartoon animal characters!
Last month I released 
, an album soundtracking the Cyber Threat Resistance League's fight against rogue malware agents from the dark web called the 
Bugs! (Links to it in my pinned toot!)

Beginning Containment Procedures -
Newly risen archons were at the greatest risk of causing Corruption - Filled with new power, and lacking the experience to realize that actions have consequences. Judges existed to clean up the messes - which had its own risk of overreaching.
#PennedPossibilities 626 — MC POV: Are you afraid of your capabilities?
Alexios: Every. Single. F*ckin'. Day. I'm constantly terrified. Does it hold me back? Never. Could it? Yes, it very well could, choom, but I choose not to let it. I'm capable of terrible things and yet I choose to instead do /good/ sh*t. I mean, /good/ in terms of the Midnight City but hey. I might be a gang leader but I choose to help the little people, you know? I give back when I can. As for things that I'm physically capable of, in terms of fighting, yeah... Sometimes it scares me. It should scare the other guy, too. *wink*
Somehow we've come to a point where Space Opera does mysticism much better than High Fantasy.
In fantasy, deities, spirits, supernatural forces, and realities beyond human perception are simple taken for granted. There is nothing mysterious or unexpected about them.
It is very rare that I come across any works of High Fantasy that feel in any way magical or wondrous. 
Outbreak -
There is no 'green' technology, only 'greener'. Similarly, the Judge caste was responsible for a politically unspeakable fact in the Chosen - There was no "pure" soultech, only soultech with less evidence of Corruption.
Another favorite…the #Petrofuture map of San Francisco. Melted ice caps on a vintage Chevron gas station map.
