I'm feeling down about having to move.
I'll reply to your gaming posts in the morning; I'm a bit jealous.

I was busy with work and other things and was planning to play with other characters, but then I decided to bring back an old character and this is what happened...

Yeah, I just randomly remembered the mafia from 7 years ago. Come on, admit it, you just want to dominate. There's nothing wrong with that, don't be shy...

/ Two charismatic characters met. But never mind, I hope he arrived at a convenient time when Ayko was at the base. /
/ Kosh, just move already, I'll order food for everyone from Pamparam then))) Five people is probably a good order./

When Raphael appeared on the horizon, Ayko was busy in the yard. Being without a maid, she had to participate in some cleaning, hopefully without too much effort...

- Hello, little one! Are there any adults at home? I'm here about the job advertisement.

Yeah, I just randomly remembered the mafia game from 7 years ago. Come on, admit that you just want to dominate. There's nothing wrong with that, don't be shy...

it's listed that way in the post about the deities. Just open it and see what it is.
and the GM also describes the specifics...

That's how it's listed in the post about the deities. Just open it and see what it is.
And the game master also describes the features...

There's a lot of information there. And choosing a character from the Mafia seems strange when there are many others from the expansions.

I've already played with the char from the expansion, but not with the char from Mafia. There should have been an expansion for Mafia as well.

Origin: Astrologer of Alriona
Unlike other newcomers, the character arrived in this world without a "beacon," that is, without the support (ritual) of any of its inhabitants. 
The Astrologer can open a portal to Ertheinia and summon a character from there into this world once, making them their slave (other players' characters only with their consent). To perform the ritual, characters with a total health of 5000 or higher must be sacrificed (royal blood is available, but there aren't enough subjects in this world, hence this requirement). 
The character possesses an aptitude for magic, and their spell learning speed is twice as slow as normal (does not stack with other similar effects).
The character can wear armor.

How can he be a historian if he has amnesia?

So, amnesia can manifest in many different ways. In this case, I believe he doesn't remember the facts of his personal life, but his knowledge base remains intact.

"Apparently, the parents forced him to work. I wonder if the SRI investigates such cases?))"

- Hello, little one! Are there any adults at home? I'm here about the job posting.

Maybe the gnome girl was feeling a bit down at that moment, unlike her usual seriousness. Or maybe Raphael just imagined it.
/Who knows if the news about Gloria had reached her by then, but if it wasn't just Raphael's ability to "sense" such deaths, then... And she could have read the newspaper; I'll think about how to play that out./

- Sir, if you're here about the job, please just say so, because there's a time for jokes and a time for business, - she stopped cleaning, not bothering to pick up her hair with her dusty hands, but slightly shaking her head and tossing her hair. Maybe that's enough to make her ears visible...
- What is your question?

I'm really not looking forward to moving.

/You've already paid for the Hearth, and you don't pay for living on the base... But it's your decision./

I could have ported Nuesha or given Kafira another chance with her manticore...
But no, the cold-hearted rogue with her sex-slave is cooler. Besides, Nuesha would have needed a redraw, and I'm too lazy. If Beata and Gion both wipe out, then maybe I'll think about porting the old champion.

I'm currently trying to decide who to create. I had some ideas for non-isekai characters, specifically to create a doctor, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Besides, even a doctor, buffed with persuasion, can't prevent injuries. He's still valuable, of course, but still. And it's unknown which squad he'll end up in. I could still bring back Shanaz, but with her skill set and how conversion works, with my new sword, she'll end up specializing in two-handed weapons. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Definitely not for me. Moreover, you can always portray this as a fighting style with grappling (if I remember correctly, certain schools of two-handed combat historically practiced this, but I read about it a long time ago and might be wrong) and kicks. But then they might assign me to work as your maid, and they don't pay much!!! And there's also a real temptation to bring back Alaria from Heroes of Might and Magic II. Revan confirmed that you can bring back a character from any stage of their life (as long as that stage was present in one of the games), like they're resurrected with memories from that time. There's also the option of Calentia, but in that case, I'd have to cooperate with the other students of Gungnir, especially Gulveig. I find her potential the most interesting, but specifically in the context of interacting with her relatives. Without them, she still has potential, of course. But it's a bit depressing. I also thought about other old characters, but then I decided that there's not much point. They all have pretty much complete stories. Dalia is an exception, but she has more interesting roleplaying alternatives, even though she looks great in terms of gameplay (especially considering the abundance of interesting spells). But choosing purely based on gameplay isn't ideal. It's not that she doesn't have potential, but she's one of those characters that I'll keep as a backup.

Having carefully listened to this monologue, which turned out to be much more profound than expected, Myco falls into deep contemplation, and then finally says: - I would like to dispel all your sorrows with one or two snappy motivational phrases, the kind you can find in crumpled pocketbooks, but in reality, there are no simple solutions. For better or worse, life is a difficult, yet absolutely natural form of the soul's existence in what we call the material world. It is not linear in nature – it has no predetermined path, and its ups and downs depend on the specific, subjective perception of it. The lives of the vast majority of people are filled with short-term and long-term difficulties and represent a burden. And yet, they do not die out, but continue to exist, and quite successfully, conquering new territories, inventing new machines, producing new goods – all that is commonly associated with the success of civilization as we know it. They do all this not because conquering, inventing, and producing is their deepest dream, but because these are the laws of the life offered to them and their own nature. The dualism of human nature lies in the simultaneous desire to escape difficulties and to overcome them head-on. An old man who has achieved everything he wanted in life and has retired will not enjoy the fruits of his labor in peace – he will die of old age and illness, while a grumpy, hundred-year-old shopkeeper, selling groceries and bending his back every day, will outlive some of his customers and, throughout this whole story, will be happy in his own way. And the dream? It's just a bonus to life, making it more enjoyable. Few people have it; most prefer to drift on the waves like a splinter, - Aiyano sighed. - What is your dream if you were to translate it into reality? Well, for example, to play the main role in the greatest play, to be on the front page of the newspaper. To repeat this n times. But life is not a book, and it does not end at this point. What then? The fact is that after achieving your dream, you will have memories of this happiness, which will warm your soul in especially cold seasons. Thus, the concrete realization of a dream is not an end in itself for life, but something that gives you energy to move forward and to reflect in the future. For now, you are in the first half of this journey – the dream is somewhere ahead, so far away, but at the same time so close. Try to turn all your sadness, bitterness, regret, ambition, and thoughts of a bright future into a creative impulse. After all, it is believed that true masterpieces are not born in a favorable environment, - the woman fell silent, then sighed. - I apologize. I started with contempt for motivational speeches, but it seems that in the course of the reasoning, I myself ended up on the same path. ... Nevertheless, my heart feels the correctness of this approach, - sitting on a bench with her interlocutor, Aiyano mindlessly twirled in her hands an ordinary store discount platinum card from another planet, with nine names scratched on it with a nail. - In the future, you will remember these hardships as something that you successfully overcame despite everything, and this will temper your character. The very fact that you are here and alive now, unlike your acquaintance, speaks to the fact that fate has saved you from further self-destruction through actions contrary to your nature. And true love? I implore you. Look in the mirror – you are a young, attractive girl, and your heart is in the right place; otherwise, you would not be so tormented by this situation. There will be someone who will share your feelings in their most noble manifestations. Aiyano lets her words settle, then adds: - For your own peace of mind, I recommend that you undergo a cleansing ritual. It is not long and not difficult, and it will ward off the evil forces that despair may have attracted. But for this, it is better to move a little further away into the park.

I believe that if you filled out the questionnaire, you have already played this game.

-- Sir, if you're here on business, please just say so, because there's a time for jokes and a time for getting things done, -- she said, interrupting her cleaning, not bothering to pick up her hair with her dusty hands, but shaking her head slightly. Maybe that's enough to make her ears visible...
-- What is your business?

- Ah, I apologize, you're from Noir.
"I hope the assignment won't involve seducing a dwarf, that's like dealing with a child 🤢"
- In that case, I'm here to apply for the secretary position. I can write beautifully, I can communicate well with people, I have a good appearance, I'm well-mannered, and unfortunately, I have no experience.
