HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Hello, everyone!
Futurology has officially been in existence for a year as of today! Time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? It’s almost hard to believe that the game has only seen three (and a quarter!) missions in that timespan, but regardless, we’d like to offer all of you a sincere thanks for your diligence, patience and kindness towards us and each other over the last twelve months.
Your creativity and openness has helped make Futurology the game it is today, and we hope it continues to in the future! We still want to hear your feedback and ideas even though the game is no longer in its infancy. An especially big thank you to those who have been working with us to make Futurology the best it can be since the beginning.
As mods, our job isn’t always easy, but having a playerbase as energizing as this one has certainly helped us get through! So, on Futurology’s first birthday, we’d like to offer you all our gratitude, and we hope that the game will continue strong for more to come.
Of course, what’s a birthday without presents?
Wherever they’re staying--be it a local’s house, a barn, or the cold hard desert ground--characters will wake to find a ring tucked beneath their pillow or right by their head. (If your character can’t or won’t wear rings, please substitute the appropriate jewelry of your choice!) The ring lacks any particular powers, but within its cabochon head is a kind of snowglobe-like representation of home. What that means for your character is up to you: where they live, where they work, their friends and family.
Along with the ring is a little rolled-up note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUDENTES!
We have a birthday request!
If you'd like, please tell us below what your character's home-ring is! We'd like to coo over how cute they all are. |

In the daylight, his ring reflects the small remnant world of Oska, castle and all. It's peopled by members of his rather large squad — in particular, the ones he's gotten to know quite well. One has to look closely but if they do, they're sure to recognize one little figure or another milling about this little setting. If Haise is reasonably familiar with someone, there's a good chance of seeing them if one looks.
During the night, on the other hand, what one will see is the Tokyo skyline. Instead of ALASTAIR members, instead individuals in white coats populate this scene. They're faces that are mostly unrecognizable, people who Haise would name as his associates in the CCG. The only one people may recognize (and the only one to appear in both day and nighttime scenes) is Arima Kishou, as a member of both organizations.
Notably, Haise himself isn't always depicted in either image of home. Sometimes one can spot him among the others. Sometimes, he's not there at all. And on few occasions in just the right lighting, what might be Haise looks a lot more like a young man who was wandering lost in Oska not too long ago...
Haise won't wear this ring on his hand, but he'll carry it in the breast pocket of his coat unless he anticipates that he'll be in combat. Wouldn't want to break it, after all.
