BUILD-A-PULLED WORKSHOP
Full Navigation Design Workshop

Greetings and welcome to Myddvai's First Season! Take a look around and let our mod team know if you have any questions!

Our game discord is open to prospective players! We also have a plurk account for this game!

This workshop is the first step into the World of Myddvai and is open to all, along with our current Test Drive Meme!

Player-controlled characters are known as the "Pulled". Pulled will arrive in the game as a Myddvai Breed!

Below are quick summaries of all available Breeds, more in depth descriptions are on our Breeds and Magic Page. Breed choice will affect what magical abilities your character has. All Pulled must arrive visually recognizable as their designated Breed, see "required" traits for each breed to know what makes each distinct! Traits listed as "optional" are potential extra features that suit the breed. We encourage creativity within these guidelines!

Moderation will be on-hand in this post to answer questions and clarify any limitations. Final decision is to be submitted within the application to the game proper. Please choose a Breed that is appealing and comfortable OOCly, first and foremost. This is not an IC choice!

How do you join? Anybody interested can request an invite on our Invites Page! Interested parties do not need to be friends with or know anybody in game, we simply wish to review potential players in advance.

Our current game cap is (30) players, limited to (1) character per player upon joining. 2nd characters can be earned via completing two months of AC! This game has a planned end, concluding in about a year from now. Take a look at our game calendar which accounts for the full run of Myddvai's First Season.

Our Navigation Section has been updated to better reflect what new players should focus on. Anything within the Further Lore section is an optional read! That section is for players who really wish to deep dive into the setting and plot. New players should focus attention on the Getting Started section before joining.

Considering a character with a future tech limb? Aid devices like mechanical limbs or other body parts will be replaced by the Springtide Druids, with Bottle Prosthetics Visual Guide (also in Plain Text Here.)
