Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
  • Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
  • When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
  • Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
  • Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
  • Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

Live and learn. Thanks, though. I don't know what projects I'll work on after these prosthetics- I was thinking about some trolley improvements? Still feels a little small scale compared to what I used to do, but it seems like it'd help people, and that's really what my work is all about.

Nothing has happened yet! All things are tame! And innocent! >_>

What did you used to do in your Piltover?

Is there anything like it you could be doing here, or while on any of the missions?

I helped develop a revolutionary new type of technology called Hextech.

I could, but I've got this nanotech project taking up my time first. Once I'm sure it's working and successful, I'll be getting back to my magic research.

Them, just mostly getting along fine was amusing me so much before, too

Magic and science together?

[ The name is kind of a dead give away. At least for someone who deals with people like Zantanna and John Constantine often enough. But, you know, it does make her think of that quote, too. Even though her world very much so has both. ]

he doesn't have a problem with any of them!!

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-23 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly that. You know, when I named it that, I thought the name would be pretty self-explanatory, but some people still ask...

He's innocent! He swears, ma!

How does your world differeniate the two?
Or more, how are you combining them, and what does it do?

Technology is technology. Metal, electrical power, steam. Magic is esoteric knowledge practiced and utilized only by mages, they keep tight control over who's allowed to learn and use it. It can be as useful as it is dangerous- like any other technology really- but it's because it's kept a secret, that means more people fear it. It's outright illegal to even study magic in Piltover, let alone use it. But in the right hands, it can do wonderful things. It saved my life.

It can do anything, with the right formula and language use. Teleportation, graviturgy, and forcefields are what I've been more recently focused on, but really the sky's the limit on what it's capable of once you understand it.

[ ... that's a lot.

Also. Dicey. By his own setup.
Illegal. Yet it had saved him.
And the applications ...

Was it hard to move from something so widely open-ended back home to here?

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
No, actually, I like being here. There's still magic to study, and I'm learning new types of developments I wouldn't in Piltover.

[He's not so honest he'll just casually mention all the stresses he's avoiding dealing with at home by being here.]

The same magic or different magic?

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-26 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I'm trying to figure out. So far I haven't found any remnants of physical magic, like there is on Runeterra. It might be solely in the leylines, which would be harder to use, but not impossible.

How would you use them, if you can?
hexcope: (5)

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-27 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on their capabilities, really. You need to know what tools you're working with before you can decide what you want to make, you know? If the magic here is only capable of say, elemental magic, that means I could do some things with fire, but not with teleportation.

Have you met any people using magic from Etraya?

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-30 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen mages here yes. I don't know how they source their magic, though. It might be something natural, from within them? Or maybe they're drawing on the power from Etraya, and don't know it?
