Shadekin discussion
* Comparison of the Luminea lore from Alina, versus the concept from Keekenox of making them more of a Bluespace fauna entity
* Have Keek and Alina work on this together
* The consensus is that we would like to pursue the tribes route, turning them into a sort of “benign ‘dark wanderer” entity
* A possible limitation on abilities mechanics wise, turning the phasing into more of a ‘blink’ of several tiles to escape from danger, and reducing the healing ability.
* Their communities being able to perform a long range teleport, either through group effort or through the senior leader of a group.
* A “White-Eyed” shadekin that is admeme spawned with the full abilities as we have now, versus the reduction of power (fine, nerf) of the standard version, which would not be solely “Black-Eyed”.
* These ‘standard’ Shadekin would be likely still whitelisted, with discussion about removing this need at a later date and where other whitelist species stay
* Back end lore wise, Saying that NT finally found a way to heal them would allow Black-Eyed Shadekin players to heal their character if they want to, instead of having to make a new character who just looks the same and has the same name but has colored eyes.
* Their own name for themselves would be Lumelea, while they accept that all the other races/species call them Shadekin

Paracausal lead

Consideration of a long-term event planner/ ‘game master’ for developing long-term storylines’
* Trojan mentioned the issue of it going badly or poorly if put into the hands of a single controlling person.
* Perhaps a planning session on where we want things to go with our plot, with a small team (Sentre to follow up)
* Would be a good thing to look at when we move to the big ship map.
