[STATIONARY_FRICTION]:
Vembrace looks good.
Alright, so the starting area is going to be a forest. I don't have every single life-form around completed, so if you're looking for something in particular and I haven't mentioned it to you, feel free to ask about it. Especially for plants you can probably even just make one up. Anyhow, first off, I'll talk about the forest and it's current situation.
The sky is overcast, but calm. It is about mid-day, though between the clouds and the dense foilage, this particular forested of Ascent is reminiscent of night. Luckily, the local wildlife helps some with this problem. From some of the fruits on an oily shrubbery to warning marks on some poisonous bugs, there are quite a few pieces of wildlife which are bio-luminescent. Hopefully though, any present haven't forgotten to bring their own source of light. You could very well stub your toe on a root or trip on a vine if you're not careful.
For Maxim...the forest has plenty of options for ingredients for anyone coming for culinary reasons. Whether someone is a returning visitor for any reason, or they're coming in for the first time by chance or by the stories of a small local village of Beacons not too far off, it will likely have many interesting specimens. The glowing bittersweet purple fruits on one type of oily shrubbery and a variety of types of beans and flowers which are edible make up some of the plant life. There are of course a variety of mushrooms to decompose the fallen, some of which are safe for most biological life to consume. Some are not. The array of small game available ranges from non-poisonous bugs. to some small reptiles that feed on nectar, to various birds. There are a few larger creatures reminiscent of deer, with glowing markings, though they can put up a decent fight. Additionally, there are a few scarce predators which can leap from tree to tree, though they avoid Beaconkind, if one cornered such a creature it could likely be dangerous.
Kara on the other hand, likely has no bearings on this situation, as it's yet another unknown exit from The Connection, left her once again in an unfamiliar part of Ascent. I'd figure it would be most likely that she would have dropped near a peculiar orange flower much larger than most Beacons, which glows incredibly brightly, in the midst of the forest. If not, then the nearby small town could have been a decently likely spot to drop-in. If you're going with the town, I'd consider talking with Maxim's player about maybe starting together?
Vembrace...it likely wouldn't be from any nearby ancient ruins. More than likely I would think it would be from an outpost in the desert or on another moon. Whether by means of a long journey, or perhaps even just a short journey through the twists of The Connection, it could have found the town or just wandered straight into the forest? Anyway, you can also feel free to talk to the others if you all want to have already met up in the town before reaching the forest. Otherwise I can somewhat corral things so that it happens that you meet up in the forest.
By the way, if you have any ideas about who/what sort of things they were protecting or fighting, feel free to let me know. I can work with that to give you some specifics. I can also offer some specific options offhand, like a facility related to and on good terms with that of Pinnacle's installation, or perhaps some lone inventor's creation that's left in the world after its creator and sole charge left long ago. There's a lot of options there. I can give more ideas or work with ideas you have of most sorts.
Anyhow, I'll give you all some time to look at this and maybe, ask additional questions or figure out why you're going into the forest or if you're starting immediately together or not. Then, I'll start up the proper game thread and leave this as the out of character thread.
