Syka is a new settlement of primarily humans on the east coast of Falyndar opposite of Riverfall on The Suvan Sea. [Syka Codex]
If you are playing your PC in Syka in The Summer of 523 be sure and register! I will use the information you provide in your registry entry to plan for Syka Events this season and further your personal plots. It is important to not give generic answers but to be very specific and thoughtful responses.
Before you start playing in Syka for the first time, you'll need to speak to me about accommodations, a job, or whether you have coin enough to support yourself. If you want to start a business or get a loan for a home, there are funds available via a loan from The Founders of Syka.
There are also leadership positions available in the form of Guardians of Syka. Also, let me know if you are interested in one of those positions.
Syka requires certain skills. For example, if you do not have a Wilderness Survival skill of Expert or higher, you cannot leave the confines of the Settlement to venture out into The Maw without an expert guide. The entire list of the Syka Recommended Skills is as follows:

Tell me why you chose Syka? What are some of its good aspects? What are some of its drawbacks? Syka is a fresh start for someone. Far enough away from other locations to be its own thing but also a melting pot of many different people. The danger of the jungle is both positive in it can create great drama. But also, the fear of a big ol crocodile taking off your leg if you stray off the path is certainly a drawback.

"A mark of an open mind is being more committed to your curiosity than your conviction. The goal of learning is not to shield old views against new facts, but to revise old views with new facts. Ideas are possibilities to explore, not certainties to defend."
Who are you? Be as lengthy as you'd like. I am a survivor but I am still learning what that means. I understand little of the world aside from loss and disappointment. A large part of who I was is gone because it was recently invalidated so I struggle to find purpose. However, I am still young enough that little things bring me small pockets of joy and I do strive to find more of that every day.
Are you a resident or a tourist? Resident
Tell us one dream your PC has for the future. I want to be needed. I want to be useful. I want my suffering and loss to mean something because of how it changed me.

Does your PC have any goals this season? Skill grind -a bit-, try to play into the shadow self and writing prompts as much as possible.
If you were here last season, what skills did you work on and why? Animal handling - it's my job.
Tell me why you chose Syka? What are some of its good aspects? What are some of its drawbacks? It's Fhlostan Paradise, baybee! The lore and self-propelled creation of the settlement is really unique and fantastic. Only drawback is that there aren't more people to write with...
Is there anything you'd like to see changed or improved? N/a
What does your PC add to Syka? An emo PYT
Do you have Wilderness Survival at Expert or higher? Y/N. This means you are now a Sykan Ranger. Not yet.
Additional Comments? Last season was a dipping of the toes. I plan to get clear up to just below the belly button this season.
Attn: Thread Partners Ebrashi has level 1 Azenth. If your character is having strong emotions, he will be able to sense that. Feel free to use this as a plot engine!
Azenth :
An Azenth with one Mark has one very important ability; they gain the immunity to fire. At one mark, the heat of a fire can still be felt, but it does not burn them. If they work with fire routinely, say as a magical discipline of Reimancy or routinely build fires, then the heat of that fire is often absorbed by them and keeps their body temperature relatively higher compared to 'normal' individuals of their race. Singularly marked Azenth often make incredibly talented firewalkers and firedancers with very little effort. In addition, at this level, Ivak marked people often sense the underlying strongly building emotion of another person, but cannot tell specifically what has caused those emotions. For example, if someone is experiencing a powerful upheaval of emotion - say grief - the Azenth can detect that, but will not understand what caused it. Mundane emotions - everyday joy, sorrow, etc are not picked up by Azenth. Instead, Azenth hone in and narrow down on only strong intense boiling emotions. They can often tell when someone has newly fallen in love, or if another completely hates something or someone with a passion. The only rule is that the emotion has to be intensely strong for them to feel it. Even urges, like the desire to steal, can be detected if they are overwhelming.
Who are you? Be as lengthy as you'd like. I'm a weaver and spiritist by trade, faithful devotee of Leth, and most certainly not some kind of spider monster, thank you very much.
Are you a resident or a tourist? New resident.
Tell us one dream your PC has for the future. To be able to return to Lhavit with gifts and wealth for the descendants of those who helped him get on his feet.
How do you plan on supporting yourself? I plan to find employment at Tropical Fever.
What would be considered your PC's absolute dream best day? A day by the docks at Lhavit with my adoptive family.
What one aspect of your PC do you really want to explore this season? His stilted relationship to life and death.
Does your PC have any goals this season? To get established on Syka, hopefully finding both a job and some more permanent housing.
If you were here last season, what skills did you work on and why? I'm new to the place.
Tell me why you chose Syka? What are some of its good aspects? What are some of its drawbacks? I came to Syka at the urging of my good friend Bilian, who claimed it was just the place to go for those trying to start fresh. Its far from what I know, much smaller than what I'm used to, and the tropical sun isn't exactly great for my skin. But I think coming here will end up being the right decision.
Is there anything you'd like to see changed or improved? N/A
What does your PC add to Syka? I'm a weaver and a spiritist. Whether you'd like to get grandma a new cloak, or would like to get grandma's ghost to move on from the mortal coil, I can help.
