Creating your character
Character creation will happen in a mixed format: The general character concept is all that needs to be complete before session 0. I will guide players through character gen so that everyone is playing a character they enjoy by the end of the first session.
This is a Sunday night game, with a heavy roleplay component.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Come up with a concept for a person as they appear to the outside world. What do they look like when attempting to seem human? Worry about making a fully fleshed-out person before they become a monster, we will deal with the mechanics of rolling a character session 0. Give serious thought to your human upbringing and your religious leanings, real world religion plays a large part of this campaign.
What Gogo the Game Mistress brings to the table
I will bring my own dice if we play in person, a boosted discord server to play in high-quality audio if we are playing online, reference PDFs of game books, and a 600-entry mind map for the plot of the game.

Safety
How Gogo the Game Mistress creates a safe table
Players can expect a tense roleplay-heavy campaign, punctuated by moments of extreme violence. We do a nightly negotiation on the lines and veils of the campaign, not censoring the horror elements but never lingering on the edgiest material.
