I may need some clarification about what you mean here, because when I read ‘no pants and no shirt’ what I understand is ‘naked’. It is socially unacceptable for Dersite to appear naked in public. It would be considered either[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dersites do wear undergarments, often in any case, though no universally. Below I will outline the types of undergarments I have or haven’t seen available, and worn. As a note, you will find that all carapace undergarment types are unisex,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I find it rather insulting that you insinuate that all Dersites might have the same temperament as their Queen. That said, I see very few quotes that I included that would imply a lack of fondness or admiration, aside from[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I will admit my poll of Dersites was not exhaustive, though that is because I typically spend my time around the palace. To be frank, I didn’t think that it required casting a wide net, as typical Dersite sentiment is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“She’s a fucking bitch! If I had my way I’d– Hey! Hey! Why the hell are you writing that down? Are you gonna fucking quote me? Come the fuck back here!” -Jack Noir, Archagent “I think she’s an enormous bully[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You are quite right, there is no authority that could directly punish the Black Queen for breaking prophecy in some way. However, due to the nature of the medium it is believed that if this were to happen then Skaia/Prophecy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It seems that I have received this question so many times now, I can no longer avoid it. Yes, I have been avoiding it, as I am certain some of you suspected. Why am I on Derse? Why am I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have many questions to get to and rest assured that the answers to them are coming. However there is a topic of particular interest to myself which I have wished to cover, and, returning to this blog after its[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This blog is not dead. There has been a certain amount of… trouble lately in the medium which has kept me from answer. Now that such things are at least apparently done with I intend to return to my habit[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The typical word referring to the dreamers used when I first arrived on Derse was ‘demons’. We are the sleeping threat, and one even closer to home than the horrorterrors. Our bodies slumbered on the chained moon of Derse even[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Firstly I must apologize as in a rather stuporous state I accidentally deleted this ask. Fortunately however, I keep screenshot backups. Secondly I would like to apologize for my prolonged absence. I am afraid I indulged a little too heavily[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I will be absent for 9 days during Derse’s Dark Season, starting today. After I return there will be a full post about the Dersite calendar and holidays.
To put it simply, both the King and the Queen rule Dersites, but only the Queen rules the planet of Derse– this is the same for the Prospitian royalty. Because the King spends his life of Skaia waging war, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A peaceful resolution to the conflict over Skaia *can* be reached under certain circumstances. Every session is unique, as is every group of players, and I am sure that numerous solutions are possible, however there are several key points I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jack Noir and Jack Blanc, a simple sketch of mine to illustrate the concept of Carapace twins.
I feel by now it should be apparent, but I will state here for the sake of transparency. At this point, I live full time on Derse. Before our session began, I was one of those rare and in some[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yes, Carapaces are biologically immortal. If their vital functions are not impaired by any outside intervention they can and will live forever. Most of the Dersites that live and work on Derse (I would say greater than 80%) were created[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ah the Black King. There is at once so much, and so little to say here. I wrote before that the Dersites fight their war for survival, and this is true– just not for the Black King. The Black King[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I would say that typically thousands, or at least hundreds of years pass in the medium before the players enter it. I know of at least one session where the consort civilizations on the Lands each burgeoned and fell to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is in fact a question I had intended to answer quite soon myself, so I’m glad that you asked. There is in fact, an exact, reflected physical duplicate of each person, on each moon (for the most part.) This[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
They will be answered to the best of my ability. My knowledge on Prospit is slightly less than Derse, as I have not spent as much time there. Additionally, some people suggest that I answer more than two or three[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is a complex question, and my answer will touch some on the Prospitian philosophy of the war as well. As you comment, the war between Derse and Prospit is absolutely predestined. The two moons will fight— must fight over[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Due to receiving a much higher volume of questions in response to my last post than expected (at last count more than 13) I wanted to take a moment to assure everyone who asked that their questions will be answered.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Black Queen Portrait in her boudoir, done shortly after the death of the unmourned Black King.
Ah a question at last! However, I do wish you had been a little more clear about it since I’m not entirely certain if you’re referring to genetics or cosmetics. I believe you’re likely referring to genetics, which is a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For Dersites, reproduction is completely decoupled from sex and sexuality, therefore those topics will be covered in another article. Dersite reproduction takes place exclusively in the Veil, on dedicated asteroids built as enormous laboratories. Inside these laboratories are a vast[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Portrait of the Draconian Dignitary, a high ranking official or ‘Agent’ at the palace. The Dignitary is tasked with handling interplanetary relations on behalf of the Queen.
Painting of Dersite ‘dawn’ by the Major river in the palace district.
Internally Dersites are strikingly similar to humans, with a nearly identical skeletal and muscular system, etc. The combination of a heavy internal skeleton and an outer shell makes them incredibly tough and durable. It also results in them being quite[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
