[Well, this is a new username! Meaning this is clearly a new person. His text comes off as mostly curious. Inquisitive as he might be, he hoped this won’t come across as intrusive. ]

Hello there, as I have come to understand…this place is comprised of many people from many worlds.

Call it being curious, but won’t some of you tell me about your home worlds? Do you wish to return to them? It’s quite alright if you don’t wish to answer, call this satisfying my own curiosity.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Would you tell me more of your world?

Of course. Our star was Etheirys, and our capital was Amaurot. I personally spent much of my time there, as I worked in the city as Chief of the Bureau of the Architect. You see, my people had the power to create anything they could imagine, but in order to keep ourselves from destroying the ecosystem we'd so carefully cultivated each creation had to go through a screening process.

My job was to approve or deny those concepts that came across my desk. Of course I had an entire Bureau at my disposal to take care of most of them, but I got the final say in many creations! Would it benefit the star? Would it destroy other species, or help them flourish? Would it be of significant use to us as a people, if it happened to be an item?

Ah, but you asked of our world, not my job! We were a peaceful people who prided ourselves on the sense of community we shared. The star itself was governed by the Convocation of Fourteen, who would often convene to discuss the affairs brought to them. And as stewards of the star, our people's goals were always aligned: to better the star for our children, and their children.

Thank you for sharing that with me. I think that the world might be a better place with a goal such as that.


Though as imperfect as our own world may be at times, I still love it quite dearly.


Now on the subject of your job, that seems like quite a lofty position to have. What are the parameters of approving or denying a concept?
