Soooo... this is the Roleplaying corner. I've never been here before!
My main work here in the Tamriel Vault is Roaring Thunder, Hissing Lightning, an ongoing story that's garnered its share of readers, but it's becoming increasingly inaccessible because of how long it's getting... and then last week my little brother who's still living halfway across the planet sends me a huge care package of alllll the local novels and comics I used to read as a kid, and among the dozens and dozens of colourful pages was a neat little pile of databooks~
For those of you who don't know, authors of long-running series in East Asia often produce databooks of their characters, both to refresh their readers' memory and to draw in new attention. Immedaite idea! Databooks are especially charming because a lot of authors choose to put in character interactions in the form of notes and remarks to 'show off' their universe's personality.
I was also running low on mystical story juice so doing this really let me take a break from writing while still being creatively productive.
This is a bit of an experiment since I haven't done anything like this before, but I hope you all enjoy, whether you're familiar with my story or not!
If you're not, though, reading this little Apocryphal lore article that I wrote a while ago might help you understand the background history. I don't cover that much in the databook, since it's mostly just about the characters. Briefly? RTHL is about ninja. In the ES universe. Kitty ninja. In a kitty ninja village.
Then, without further ado-
So thanks to typical Phil brilliance, I've now put the Databook in an album, so it reads like an actual book! (-ish)

I'll leave the thread up because I appreciate your comments, but do read the Databook from the album from this point!
