Frequently Asked Questions - World Questions

Character's dress, piercings, tattoos, etc, should be more suited to the times, but mostly in backstory explanation, etc. We don't require period specific pb choices or the like, and so long as things can be explained we're fine with a lot. For instance, we've got a tattoo artist in game who has many piercings, explained in her backstory as being a part of her act when she traveled with a freak show. Having pink hair would be much harder to explain, however, than tattoos, or other things that actually have an older origin in history.

The game takes place in Eidolon City itself. That is the life your character knows and the one which he/she lives day to day. Who they are in Eidolon City and their interactions there are what drives this game.

Although the Dreamers are all residents of Eidolon City, in the real world they come from all over. They are spread across the globe. If you are playing a dreamer, they can come from anywhere you like. They can be from any country of origin and any ethnic background.

One thing to note, though, is that all citizens of Eidolon City have been there for at least a year, meaning that your character will have at least a passing knowledge of the language!

The short answer is that Eidolon City isn't real, but the people living in Eidolon City don't know that. Eidolon City is an illusion - albeit an all singing, all dancing, very real seeming illusion. It is the only world that the dreamers know and remember.

No. No one that is contributing to the city is related in their real lives. The dreamers are scattered across the globe in reality, so it's unlikely they've ever even met before their respective comas, never mind be any kind of relation.

For the city, it's a timeframe that takes bits and pieces from the 20's, 30's and 40's. For the real world/dreams it's set slightly ahead of the current time. It's not got a specific year date on it, either for the city or the dream.
