It's About Time
Welcome, one and all, to the new timeline!
First off, thank you all so much for your input and patience during this process. We are so happy that you have all been as hype as us for this new era, and we are so excited to share what we have created!
On to business, though, and as is standard with large changes to the site such as this one – it’s audit time. There is no requirement for activity on the characters this time, as we know times have been tough. This is mostly just to make sure our lists are up to date, especially with how much change will be happening with either remodeling characters for the new timeline or creating and dropping charries as your muse sees fit. As a token of our thanks, we will be giving 200 dazzles to each of you who complete the audit! You can find it here.
Now, due to the large changes between our old timeline and this new one we are exploring, we will need you to update your characters’ profiles with any changes prior to posting any writing with them. If you can do this before you post in the audit, even better. Staff are fully prepared to fast track any character profile changes through the system, and additionally any dazzle purchases that are attached. Don’t forget – the new RP time is March 2023! Character ages will have already automatically changed to reflect this. Or, if you’re feeling in the mood for something new, please check out the updated site adoptables, all of which are considered positions and thus come with a shiny title.
You’ll also find we’ve made a few changes to set up for our new timeline! The most obvious being – all of your old threads have been moved to the archive, keeping them safe while cleaning the slate for all of your new, wonderful threads.
Then, over in the About Seattle and SWE forums, a wealth of information awaits you. New descriptions for the Seattle districts, an updated site history timeline, an explanation of what your character will know about other species, and an explainer for our brand spanking new supernatural organisation The Network have all been posted for your reading pleasure.
Faction wise, we have an amazing new faction for you all to join, designed by our very own lovely Poncho! The Order of Eish is a secretive sect, dedicated to ensuring supernaturals follow the Order’s code or face termination. You can find out more about them here.
The Vanguard and Solace have also had some major new upgrades, including two new locations for your characters to plot at – The Catacombs and the Montlake Clinic, respectively. We highly recommend you go check those out too! And while you’re at it, pay some respects to our fallen factions, for we bid adieu to the HPF and the Sentries in this new timeline of supernatural secrecy.
Now, get ready to write, folks, because we have a bumper set of rewards for you all! For the next month, to make things easier to transition your characters to this new timeline, the following are all free: face claim changes, faction and coven membership, and vampire or werewolf bites. Additionally, we are waiving the species price for any new character created, up to a maximum of 5 characters until the 20th of April! You will also find a 50% discount on all remaining dazzle purchases for the same time period. And to top it all off - you will be earning double dazzles for every post!
Finally, for the kick off site wide event, let your muse run wild all across Seattle as The Awakening dawns over the world. People everywhere are confronted with strange memories, curious discrepancies, or totally new lives. We can't wait to see what you write!
Good luck out there in that brave new world!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like
❤️ DAYS OF GIVING!!!! ❤️
Pinch and a punch for the first day of the month everyone! And with it, lots of goodies, give aways, and prizes are on their way to you all.
Firstly, as I'm sure you're all aware from my yelling, we are running our annual Days of Giving again this year. So pop on by the Discord and OOC chat to see what we're dishing out this time. (Hint hint: day 1 can be found here) Along with it is also a brand new secret santa gift exchange, and you have until the 12th to sign up for that!
Also in OOC chat is the new challenges for December and January. 10 new challenges, plus a bonus, for a potential total of 700 dazzles on top of all the writing you will do. Check them out here!
You may also have noticed some new resources around the site as we continue to port over previous encyclopedias and information from the old site, as well as add new wealths of information for your usage. As part of that, the plot request thread is back in Subplots, the witch spells and druid materials/runes lists have been reuploaded into the Species forum, and we have a brand new Scents (and tastes) For Dummies resource for all your carnivorous character needs. There will be more of this sort of stuff on the way, so keep an eye out for that >.>
In terms of SWEs, we shall have some for you about mid month, just in time for all the Christmassy cheer. If that makes you sad, or you're just looking to complete the monthly challenges ASAP, don't despair! You can find plenty of other SWEs to write in here, including last year's Christmas charity ball for Seattle General Hospital and New Year's celebration. Plus, if you’ve got any ideas you’d like to see turned in an SWE, please feel free to request it using the form here!
Happy holidays, and happy writing! ❤️

move, i'm gay (JUNE-JULY UPDATE)
Howre ya? It’s June, it’s Pride, and it’s time for a new NOX update!! With this new update, there are a couple of things to highlight!
Click here for the June-July challenges; once again, we’ve got ten new challenges for you to take part in and two months to get them done. As there are two months of challenges, the maximum dazzles to be awarded are 500, so get on it!
The latest NOX COTM goes to … Robert Birdson! Congratulations! Good job! You’re amazing! June/July nominations are now open; please go nominate people, pls pls, thnx.
Our Adults Only board (The Red Light District) has returned for those 18+. Also, as a reminder, threads posted here will not be counted for dazzles, and if you want access to it (heathen), ask a staff member.
On the topic of asking NOX staff members things, over on Discord, if you’ve got a NOX-related question, we’ve got a new @ to ping any available NOX staff to help you with your question. If you type in @Nox Avail into the ask-the-staff section, the available NOX staff should be to the rescue in no time.
Finally, SWEs. Two new SWEs have just dropped; there's some chaos brewing as the people of Seattle gather to watch the Lunar Eclipse; and also, we've got a nice and cosy Pride event about to take place! As always, if you’ve got any ideas you’d like to see made into Site Wide Events, please feel free to request a SWE here!
All the best, and HAPPY PRIDE!

APRIL UPDATE
Hello, hello, welcome to the April update for NOX. Firstly, big apologies for the lack of an update last month; unfortunately, your lovely staff team had a busy time, and we decided to save it all for this one. So with that, let's get on with what's to come!
If you hop on over here, you'll find the challenges for the next two months. We’ve decided to run 10 challenges every two months from now on. This allows you all more of a chance to finish the challenges you want to do and thus get more sparks! If you have any feedback for the new system, please feel free to let us know, whether that be in chat, the suggestion channel, or through a quick message to a staff member!
Also, there are a couple of SWEs open for you to join. The night before Imbolc, the vanguard and other bloodthirsty vampires are on the attack and aiming to turn as many witches as possible. If light and fluffy is more your speed, there's a family-friendly Open Mic Night at CJ's café; come along and get involved or maybe witness the next biggest act in the making. And lastly, get your cosplays ready for Emerald City Comic Con! Watch this space; there may be more to come during the month.
Like EH, we're combining March / April nominations for CoTM. Head over to the CoTM channel on discord and get your nominations in (there are two at the moment), as we will close it in 2 weeks to poll for our winner!
Have fun!

I Couldn't Find a Pun for February
The votes are in, and it's been decided that the SWE timeline will remain in 2022 for now! RP time has now been added to site and your character's ages are now all set to what they were in 2022, and we have begun to release our new SWEs for the year! Don't worry, the old SWEs are still available though, with the last 5 from temp site reposted for your convenience and any others available for reposting in The Archive forum at your request <33
As for new SWEs, you can find the first of them, a lovely little NYE celebration right over in Turnwood here!
If that fluff isn't quite up to your evil writing mood, then rest assured, we have more coming for you. Vampires are descending on a surprised Spellbound Plaza, catching them before the wards for the next day's Imbolc celebrations have been set up. The link to that shall be posted in the coming days, so hang tight!
Finally, the usual housekeeping. You can find the challenges you desire hereeeee, and the new Character of the Month channel on the Discord! Don't forget to vote for that by the 20th and also the impending end of the welcome dazzles and double writing dazzles special come March.
Happy writing!! :D

WELCOME BACK HOME
Welcome back and Happy New Year! It has been a while but this is our brand new site for all things NOX and we'd like to thank you all for your patience by giving every player who signs up by end of February 1,000 welcome dazzles. We will also be running double dazzles for all posts during this time too!!
Further, we will be resuming our monthly challenges and hope that this month's picks might assist with brushing off the cobwebs and giving you a chance to start anew with your characters.
Moving forward, as the sites will be separate now, we will look at the best way of running these challenges and may alter the amount set in future. Any suggestions are welcomed. Check them out here.
For dazzle transfers, please notify a staffer once your first character has been approved for the dazzle amount that you would like moved across from sazzles.
All existing characters will be approved immediately, however, any characters you wish to tweak will need to go through the approval process. If you plan on dropping any characters, please let us know so we can update any necessary threads.
Some site features are not quite ready but get excited because they shouldn’t be too far away!
For reposting of old threads (if you desire), we have a dedicated forum here so you can reference back to what has already happened or for timeline purporses. No threads in here will not be counted for dazzles. Please do not repost any older threads in RP forums as they have already been counted previously.
I hope you all are just as excited as we are and we can’t wait to write with you!
