[gynvael]

Player Name: Noa
Character Name: Geralt of Rivia
Thread 1 Link + Summary: one; Geralt meets a doctor, who decides not to tell him that no, he did not order an arachnid for delivery, but they work it out in the end so it's fine
Thread 2 Link + Summary: two; having relocated to a larger space, Geralt helps Rinwell settle in and put up a couple of shelves for her room
Notable actions: Caught a man's prized pigeon and may or may not have been seen in the academy halls with an oversized live spider in a jar

[sorser]

Player Name: Jen

Character Name: Stephen Strange
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Visiting Julie’s domain, discussing Nott and its magic.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Sharing a drink with Thancred at his new Horizon domain.
Notable actions: Other than being seen in the castle as extra grouchy and impatient due to struggling with his magic during the player plot, not much this month!

Character Name: Sephiroth
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Worked with Geralt, Jaskier, and Viktor to catch a missing pigeon. Wishes to speak of this experience never again.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: A simple escort job with Ciri goes sideways.
Notable actions: Sephiroth (and the others, I GUESS) managed to capture and return Aleksander’s lost pigeon! Post-eclipse, he escorted civilians traveling along the roads near Cadens to abate their anxieties. Traveled from Cadens to Aquila in one of these escort missions with Ciri (in the linked thread above), and will return to Cadens again early next month!

Character Name: Julie Lawry
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Just having a complete emotional breakdown, nbd
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Telling the fresh meat what the factions won't, one by one

[falcony]

Player Name: dai

Character Name: sam wilson
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Sam's open comment around Cadens both during the Eclipse and after, while his powers went a little haywire and he started absorbing other's emotions.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Sam consoles Julie after Lloyd's disappearance in the Horizon.
Notable actions: The most notable would have been during the eclipse when Sam took charge pretty quickly of the entire situation at hand. Some guards actually listened to his direction (though probably not all) and he was quick to help anyone and everyone get back to their apartments, get settled for the day, and tamper off any potential chaos that might have erupted through panic. Additionally, he was once again back and forth from the barracks, welcoming any and all Summoned into Cadens and helping where he could to get people up on their feet.

Character Name: yennefer of vengerberg
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Yennefer greets McCoy now that he's arrived in Thorne and chosen to switch factions.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Ronan confronts Yennefer about her strange behavior recently, to which Yennefer is going to have to talk to him.
Notable actions: After her return back to court, Yennefer can be found almost immediately back into the same spheres and meetings she'd been in prior to her illness and time away. During the eclipse she was quick to step in and calm any potential worries - Singularity related or not, she has seen many eclipses in her time, and she is certain there is nothing to worry about that the Queen could not handle. Additionally, she has made an effort to reach out and make contact with any new faces, Summoned or otherwise, who she may have missed during her illness.

[frontlinetitties]

Player Name: Kam
Character Name: Gideon Nav
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Alucard shows Gideon his latest renovation project, and they proceed to eat cheesecake and get thoroughly drunk on good wine.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Gideon ropes Ciri and Harrowhark into a pigeon-hunt because she honestly wasn't sure what a pigeon was and was hoping the reward was lots of cash. Hilarity ensues
Power or physical gain: N/A
Notable actions: Just trying to get herself well-established as a swordwoman for rent within the city (monster-hunting, bodyguarding etc). She honestly thought the pigeon hunt would help her along with this, but alas, it was just one little pesky bird that she couldn't even catch!

[sealingpower]

Character Name: Zelda
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Link Zelda wakes at the summit with a dream of the Calamity. Link takes her to Horizon for the first time to show the differences in their timelines.

[cryptsleeper]

Player Name: Dia
Character Name: Alucard
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Thread 1 which Jaskier checks out the Old Public Hall and he and Alucard plot.

Power or physical gain: None
Notable actions: Alucard began work on restoring the Old Public Hall, and the venue hosted a large concert as a fundraiser headlined by Jaskier (log forthcoming.)

[leitstern]

Player Name: Lisa
Character Name: Jasper
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Jasper visits Horizon courtesy of Stephen Strange.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Where he encounters Link.
Power or physical gain: Visiting the Horizon expanded his senses: to hear and see into the afterlife. Jasper will realise he can speak and communicate with deceased ghosts and spirits. He can feel their presence and pose questions on past and present events. Spirits are under no compulsion to be honest and can mislead with false information. But they are limited to what they knew in life; they cannot comprehend anything that happened after death.
Notable actions: Jasper volunteered to escort Sasarai in his quest that will be submitted next month. Supported townsfolk during the eclipse.

[cointosser]

Player Name: Hannah
Character Name: Jaskier
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Jaskier visits Nadine after the disappearance of Lloyd.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Jaskier introduces himself to Viktor while naked in a bathhouse, as he do.
Notable actions: (If applicable)

- He participated in a (successful!) pigeon hunt with Viktor, Sephiroth and Geralt.
- Jaskier made a wise financial decision and purchased a toy gryphon, who accompanies him on most outings and performances.
- He has also opened a small flower stand in the Cadens marketplace.
- Jaskier began helping Alucard repair the Cadens Old Public Hall and will be hosting a concert there at the end of the month (log upcoming!) Flyers advertising it have definitely begun popping up in Cadens. :)

[standvastig]

Player Name: Athena
Character Name: Hendrik
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Hendrik connects to the Horizon for the first time with Jasper
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Congratulating Nadine on her work
Power or physical gain: From Horizon - Animal Friendship magic, making eye contact with an animal and vocally assuring it that you mean no harm, thus enchanting it into a calm state. Enchantment naturally ends after Hendrik is out of contact with the animal for over two hours or can be broken by anyone harming the animal. Will initially only be able to influence one small animal at a time (raccoon or smaller) and slowly grow stronger with practice; at max strength, can influence four small animals, or two medium animals (like a wolf), or one large animal (like a bear up to a moose). (No mixing and matching of size groups.) This magic would not work on animals capable of human speech via vocalization or telepathy, or on animals far beyond those example sizes.

Notable actions:
- He continues to work at a smithy in the city, hauling heavy loads and starting to occasionally help with forging tools.
- During the solar eclipse, he was out around town assisting townsfolk who lost their way in the dark or were otherwise inconvenienced (healing those slightly injured from stumbling in the dark, etc.).
- Participating in quests (Sasarai's player quest and spoonce chasing), which will be submitted by April AC.

[necrosaint]

Player Name: Kit
Character Name: Harrowhark Nonagesimus
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Back at the Summit, Harrow talks skull paint both with Jesper and with Ciri, having two very different conversations but maybe also forging some genuine human connection.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Along with Gideon (who volunteered Harrow for the job) and Ciri (who thinks they are both idiots), pigeon catching attempt is made. They did not get the piles of cash Gideon hoped, since they also didn't get the pigeon, but maybe they're bonding?

Notable actions:
• Having received help from Alucard with saddling in the previous month, Harrow is occasionally seen in Cadens with her large skeletal horse, who is just a construct with no mind of its own (though she refers to him with a name and male pronouns). If asked what he is, Harrow will make oblique references to New Magic and a project of improving travel methodology.

• Harrow participated in the pigeon catching quest; the only team of girls will fail but they put in good effort!

• During the few days that were the Bad Moon Rising player plot, Harrow's necromantic vision overtook her normal vision which means she was staying closer to Gideon when she was at work anywhere that was safe for Harrow to go (ie NOT the middle of the desert, that's for next month), and begrudgingly let those who offered help her with things.

[rinwell]

Player Name: Farli
Character Name: Rinwell
Thread 1 Link + Summary: new home, new room, Rinwell spends some time bonding with Geralt.

[itookashot]

Player Name: Dee
Character Name: Jesper Fahey
Thread 1 Link + Summary: One Jesper approached Wanda at the peace summit seeing her use her powers and revealed his own and how the world hated and feared his kind so he was in hiding.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Two Jesper met Geralt at the peace summit making flower crows with kids and asked him about hunting and his suggestions on how to get by here.
Power or physical gain: from his first Horizon visit, I'd love Expeditious Retreat. Jesper can have super speed up to 10 minutes. Not Flash level, no turning back time or breaking the sound barrier, just very quick. He'll only be able to use it once a day and tire afterward.
Notable actions: Jesper hustled a lot of people playing darts at the peace summit and no one caught him potentially using magic, but there may have been some whispers. He's currently undefeated in darts.
He's been working at Mag's inn and making friends with regulars. He's still bothering people about how much it takes to buy a gun.
During the eclipse Jesper helped take care of a group of kids and got them home since they were playing in the square with him. 
On the Summoned side, he made a post about the general attractiveness of everyone there and vowed to meet all the Summoned to prove his theory.

[subhuman]

Player Name: Freya
Character Name: Dante
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Two bros, chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart because Geralt likes space.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Dante's first for-ray into Horizon where he meets a man and his not-quite-dog.
Power or physical gain: From his first trip to Horizon, I want to give him "Summon Pizza". It's low level and creates something of the quality of a mediocre pre-frozen pizza. Not quite Digiorno. Cheese and one topping only, marinara sauce (and no sauce substitutes). He'll have to level up to learn higher qualities and create more varieties.

Character Name: Himeka Sui
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Discussing implications of Solvunn's gods with Sasarai.

Power or physical gain: New magic: Abraxan Haste. (Supportive magic: speeds target's actions by 15%.)
Notable actions: Hyth used his soulsight to assist applicable Solvunn NPCs with refinding spooked and escaped livestock during the eclipse.

He has also used his creation magick to make some improvements to his and Emet-Selch's house. He will have 0 access to creation magick for the next month as he recovers his aether. After he's back to normal, he will have access to Abraxan Haste, if it is approved by mods.

Thread 2 Link + Summary: Met Jesper
Power or physical gain: (From Horizon) Lay on Hands - Fandaniel can heal a person by laying both palms on them. The longer he touches them the more they are healed. Does not purge status effects like diseases, poisons etc. Stabilizes grievous injuries (more thorough healing needed for a full recovery). Does not work on more immediately lethal injuries. Knits wounds but does not regrow lost body parts.
Notable actions: Was among the people helping out during the eclipse, otherwise nothing.

[hegemonwings]

Player Name: zero
Character Name: byleth eisner
Thread 1 Link + Summary: spoonce hunting with thancred
Thread 2 Link + Summary: talking strategy and relaxing with edelgard in the horizon
Power or physical gain: courtesy of her first trip to the horizon, i'd love Abraxan Shadow Blade. forming a sword of solidified shadows that strikes better in the dark, and can be re-summoned to the hand if thrown or dropped. she can sustain the spell for a minute at a time, and only use it twice per day, with at least an hour's wait necessary between each casting.
Notable actions: quest participation, which will be linked with april ac. she was helping where she could during the eclipse, but there was a lot going on.

[yeshou]

Player Name: Tea
Character Name: Wen Kexing
Thread 1 Link + Summary: antagonizing Geralt and testing the waters.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Discussing Hotness Theory with Jesper.
Power or physical gain: For his first Horizon interaction, Wen Kexing is getting an ability like a light Charm Person that let's him temporarily create a comfortable, friendly atmosphere with one person he's near. It doesn't change their perspective so much as give him some extra good vibes for a time and eventually wears off. Just a little charisma bump unless conflict arises.
Notable actions: He's been continuing his quest to make friends with the young thieves and troubled teens in the streets of Cadens, finding them little jobs and starting a small network of less desired locals.
