VOLITION [Medium: Success]
Something based on the Yatagarasu novel series (also see the currently airing anime: Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai/The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master) with its incredibly interesting lore mixed with some gritty Game of Thrones court politics.

A couple of lore beats to whet your appetite on:

  • People in this world are called ravens, where they can shapeshift between their human form and a large, three-legged raven form. Their third leg in this form allows them to shift back into their human selves.

  • Ravens are separated in a caste system: from court ravens (adjacent to being a noble), to hill ravens (commoners), to "horses" (ravens subjected to remain in their raven form permanently and work as beasts of burden)

  • The kingdom's ruler called the kin'u, or the 'golden raven' oversees four provincial lords, from North, South, East, and West, and these four noble houses compete for the throne's favour by sending brides to be wedded into the royal family.

  • A lot of political nuances, from jealous princes with plans to usurp the throne, to the complicated dynamics of the caste system and how it affects the lowest members of society (i.e. one of the worst punishments shown so far in the anime is something called disarticulation: cutting off a raven's third leg while shapeshifted so they can never return to being human again, consequently working them as a horse for the rest of their life)

what do you want to know? my height, hobbies, quirks, the color of my underwear?
honestly, i've been really craving something with a low-stakes member-submitted questing system

sometimes i don't want to save the world with a big site plot level mission, i just want to exist in my corner making my 9th installment to my crazy dinosaur island ongoing side questline that has somehow escalated into shooting dinosaurs into space and that everyone icly hates with a burning passion and oocly yells about excitedly in chat every time i drop a new quest even though it literally has no impact outside of the people who keep agreeing never to go back to dinosaur island and then go back anyway

if you got that reference, you have great taste

It's probably the part of me who's likes Silent Möbius and Shadowrun speaking right now, but I'm kinda surprised that no one has tried doing a cyberpunk urban fantasy. Figured that a departure from the typical modern setting into a more futuristic one could be a nice change of scenery. (Not to mention, IMO it makes some of the urban fantasy tropes make more sense)
