Legend
Take a Character! Any Character!
Ever since I started the Asrakosian culture, I realized that people might have difficulties getting started in creating a character for the culture. I also thought it would be fun to set up a few characters for the region in general, just to get my writing juices flowing. So, I decided to make another adoption thread, with characters that might be refugees, natives (Asrakosian or not, but likely Asrakosian), or what have you; each character would be barebones in terms of description and personality, and all one would need to do is to contact me (Via Discord or forum PM) and inform me that you wish to take them. Obviously you aren't restricted from playing a character that's only from this list; but if you don't want to take the time to make a baseline for a character, this thread might help! Once you take them, they're yours forever- feel free to flesh them out/change basic details however you wish! So, here goes!
For Asrakosian characters, I would suggest giving this thread a quick read, just a quick one. For general information on Astrakhan's climate and sights, I suggest reading MelodyComplex 's gorgeous thread here.
