If I hadn't fallen ill, we would have started already by now. As it stands now, I've been working on it over the weekend and am hoping to get up the first post either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much energy I have.

Guys, since this is my first time playing on a forum, I wanted a mini-elucidation. In her first post, Gravity specified that she is waiting for Mal's reply to her tease. In case one of us is interacting with an NPC (in the form of a question in this specific case), what is the standard practice? Waiting for the interaction to end before posting? I wouldn't want to have pretty much done the equivalent of talking over her.

Gravity has the right of it. Time is fairly fluid in forum games, and it's often necessary to rewind a bit to address earlier posts.

I am here. Sorry for being late for the party. Welcome to the game! Now that we are all here we can open the betting. Is Mal really a human or is he just posing as one? It's rather sus that he was reading in complete darkness.

Yup, I noticed the same thing. And Daos implied he has some hidden motives behind his altruism, so... who knows, maybe he is a human but made some infernal/demonic pact to earn some powers (like infravision) but there's a price to pay (helping people..? In that case maybe the pact was more celestial in nature).

I think in our group, Mal being a human is a relative novelty. I think more backstory mysteries stuff.

Oh, can I get in on this? Here are some theories:
Vampire with a soul.
Polymorphed dragon of some kind.
Ghost. Or maybe a revenant.
Mindflayer wearing a hat of disguise.
Cursed werewolf or other lycanthrope.
Incubus with a heart of gold.
Reformed Rakshasa.

I'm banking on the mindflayer hypothesis. Because the world needs more mindflayers.
Anyway, it is possible he's a human who has made a demonic pact and acquired infravision through said pact. I don't know if as in 5e there is any similar to devil sight for warlocks in AD&D 2e, but I could see it. Not that it explains why he goes around rescuing desperate souls that pay little or nothing.
But that's boring. I still prefer the mindflayer option. A monster who kills people to eat their brains and generate work for the agency by framing random people for the murders (core idea developed by matt4 Inc., all rights reserved).

I was just about to say that you stole my idea, but you saved yourself at the last second u.u
I like the reformed Rakshasa idea myself by the way.
