The Web of Fate Visualized

Question: Could we have a relationship chart of your PCs/NPCs? It seems really confusing.

Yep, you definitely can... but I'm not sure, given how many PCs and NPCs there really are, that it'll really clear up the confusion.

This chart, lovingly crafted during hours when I should have been sleeping instead, is pretty straightforward. Click to get the biggest version Blogger's capable of handling, or you can see the full-sized version here.

As you can see, three years of gameplay means a lot of people get involved. This is technically a "simplified" chart from the full one - several of the less pivotal NPCs have been omitted (sorry, Canadian Vanir brigade!) and only Scions are represented on the chart, leaving out gods, Titans, Fatebound mortals and other people that couldn't possibly have been included without causing immediate cerebral hemorrhage in viewers. There are also a few people who technically ought to have connections who don't, mostly because I couldn't find a way to get them together without getting lost in the Forest of People Aurora Knows or sucked into the vortex of festering animosity that is Kane Taoka. Note also that the Eastern Promises PCs are not present; they're technically in a different setting and predate everyone on this chart except for Woody by at least a century anyway.

This is also pre-Ragnarok; a lot of shit went down during the Gotterdaemmerung that changed some peoples' opinions of each other and forged new connections between some who hadn't met one another before, but there was already a pretty insane amount of detail going on, and John convinced me that my time might be better spent eating and sleeping instead.

And, of course, there are a lot of NPCs on here that you guys have probably never heard of, because as usual the fiction hasn't begun to include everything that's going on yet. You'll just have to consider them tantalizing teaser characters and wonder where they came from and what they're up to.

If your confusion has only increased, I apologize. Feel free to ask any questions about specifics you like, and we'll try to help unmuddy these Scion-infested waters.
