Editing LeviathanTempest:ArchivedConflicts (section)

=== Transition ===
Thematic elements focusing on the in-between state; unceratinty about one's future. The Leviathan comes into his or her power at a point in their life, and that alteration in their basic nature makes everything else go haywire. They can't have a white picket fence and a wife and two-point-five smiling children and soccer practice and track meets. Not anymore. Hell, they might not be able to hold down a real job. That sort of thing might stop seeming, y'know, relevant, in the face of the real history of the world.

Transition elements in plots are meant to give a sense of loneliness and isolation to a game of Leviathan. They have some strength inasmuch as they cover fertile ground in terms of social status, personal security, and anxieties about the future. However, the heavy use of transition means that some other elements of the way that Leviathans function, in-game-wise, means that settling down isn't an option for some reason. Things always go wrong, or whatever. To make the theme meaningful down the line, participation in "everyday" average life has to become increasingly problematic for the Leviathan.

Leviathans are fluid; they know no peace.
