Perhaps the Caretakers might care enough to give some power to those who specifically try and aid what their role is, or people who attempt to make their task a little easier.

Well, I don't see how necromancy makes Death's job easier. It could go two ways: either the corpse is reanimated and nothing else, or the soul is pulled back with the corpse. The former doesn't affect Death, and the latter just makes things more difficult, as Death will then have to carry the soul back.

Then there's Murus. Tending the barrier is a full-time job, and it already has the Aspects of Good helping it.

Ventus controls the weather, and Solun controls the sun/moon. I don't really see how mortals can help with that. Also, I'm not even sure what magic either of them would provide. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

...Actually, I just thought of an idea for Murus. An order that actively hunts down Demon Summoners. I'm still not sure if it would give any benefits though. Again, maintaining the barrier is not an easy task. Death's Order would be anti-necromancy, but I'm not sure what it would offer them either. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Sorry about the wait, I got wrapped up in a story involving a girl wrapped in a groundhog day loop. The setting prodomenantly follows a guy who moved into a small town, who is now being lusted over by a group of four yandere's - each of whom are affected by the towns "curse", which alters the weeks events slightly so they can't be predicted. At the end of each week, these girls will conspire to kill someone - and after they do, someone will go missing soon after, thus resetting the week.

It's an interesting idea, to say the least. Could a groundhog day roleplay work?

I was actually considering a groundhog day style superhero roleplay not too long ago. Never got around to making it, but I found the concept very interesting. Such as with each restart to the time loop the characters not only retain memories, but get slightly stronger as well to help their efforts in putting an end to the loop. I am Inferi.

*shrugs* One of the big appeals of this story for me was that the "heroes" weren't the centre of the time loop - but rather, the true protagonist was an auxillary girl from school who feels responsible for all of it. This means everyone (but the girl) starts fresh everytime, and we watch them become something new at the end of every arc.

Still, a Re:Zero-esque timeloop could be interesting...

Would you have the groundhog day loop set for a traumatic event (or ritual), or just a randomly specific time?
