Domems
From Metro Wiki
Domems Applications are now being accepted. This is Metro's first time ever allowing for Secondary Supernatural Slots, and is currently on a test run. Not only will this be providing another option for players to have RP, but this is also providing players with a chance to try out Wraith without having to give up their Supernatural PC.
What is a Domem?
A Domem is a Wraith who has lost all their fetters and no longer has a link to the Shadowlands. At best they can travel to the shadowlands for only a few minutes and are restricted to staying within areas of the Tempest, like Stygia. Most of Stygia's, and other Dark kingdoms administrative class are Domems, as they have no place to go. Domem are not without prejudice as they are sometimes faced with the criticism of the Gaunts and other wraiths who have kept their fetters, partially because without resolving fetters, one cannot transcend easily.
What is Stygia?
Stygia is the vast capital of the western dead, located on the Isle of Sorrows, where the Deathlords sit and rule. Where the decisions of the Iron Kingdom are made, where many thrive and call home. The city itself is built of buildings that were destroyed in the skinlands, a melding of modern skyscrapers, rising from the ruins of Rome dating from the city's founding to demolished factories sitting alongside family homes. Here all of the legions are found, as well as the underground and not so underground circles of the Guilds.
What kind of RP will I get?
Mainly, insphere rp as you will be cut off from the grid, but will still be able to interact with the Shadowlands Wraiths as they can come to Stygia.
What kind of concepts are you looking for?
Any and all. Think of this like the 'Mortal' sphere for wraiths, only you do have access to Arcanoi. Politicians, soldiers, merchants, citizens, sailors, slavers, entertainers... The concept possibilities are vast and quite open to discussion.
What templates are available?
The same templates for Shadowlands Wraiths are available for those who will be in Stygia.
What are the Pro's?
Well, for starters! No need to worry about any other description than what you would need for wraith! This opens up more players for our current Shadowlands Wraiths to interact with, as Stygia is a very important part of Wraith society.
'What are the Con's?
No interaction with the Toronto grid. No access to Mediums. Some limited or no usage of certain Arcanoi as well as limitations on some merits and flaws.
Do I need to know Wraith?
No, you do not need to know wraith in order to play a domem. I do ask that you do look into the Wraith Core, Players, and the Hierarchy book.
What is needed for Applications?
Unlike Shadowlands wraiths who have to speak much of their life before death, I will ask more that you write about what your life has been post Death. Explain why you no longer have your fetters and how long you have been in Stygia, what you have been doing since you arrived.
