OOC INTRO ( JANUARY )

OOC INTRO: JANUARY

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! In December, the island of Chol made its debut, bringing with it dire hints as to the state of LifeAftr for the duration of January. We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the specifics of Chol as linked above, as this will be relevant in the intro log. We've loved the feedback we've gotten about the game thus far, positive and negative, and encourage you to contact us whenever you feel it is necessary!

Our intro log will be going up on the comms on January 5th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event that your character perishes, to let us know so that we can take a note of it, whether or not it counts for your character's total death count! If you're having trouble thinking of a penalty, we can definitely provide one for you. Remember to use the Deaths page for Death Penalty removal as well, once that time is up! An event in the latter half of January will come with a high risk of death, meaning that the span of time for death penalties will be significantly reduced

2. AC. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people to tag their characters in the comms. This is the only compulsory form of AC we have, but after the first few months, we are going to stop warning people for forgetting to tag their character. Characters who fail AC will be swept. An additional reminder, also, to make use of the drop post should your time with LifeAftr come at an end instead of simply idling out!

3. Additional goodies. Newcomes showed up with some extra treats in their knapsacks, to better prepare them for the cold and dark days ahead. This should have been noted in everyone's acceptance notices! Please let us know if, for some reason or another, you didn't receive these particular goods.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of January - for new players to introduce themselves, for old players to meet and greet, and for general plotting to occur! If you want to chat or keep up with game updates, we also have both a plurk and a discord channel!

Go ahead and use the template below if you haven't introduced yourself already!

Say Hello With This Handy Dandy Template!

<b>Player:</b> <b>Contact:</b> Plurk, Discord, whatever it is you use, as well as if you mind if people add you! <b>Tell us about yourself:</b> Timezones? Preferred pronouns? Favorite dank memes? We’re all ears! <b>Character:</b> Character name and journal here! <b>Permissions:</b> If you have any permissions posts for character interactions or powers, here would be a good place to list them! <b>Tell us about them:</b> Nothing too fancy is required, but here's where you can list things like permissions posts and inventories, as well as a brief introduction/overview of your character and how they're adjusting to LifeAftr. <b>Current plans:</b> Looking for positive/negative CR? Been up to any exploration? Need to get out more? Remember that forming groups is the best way, ICly and OOCly, to start getting CR and affecting the setting! <b>Anything else:</b> You’re just going to use this section to post an awful gif, aren’t you. Well have at it, you shitposters.

Player: Jess
Contact: raspberrydrink feel free to add me, but be warned next round of Airlocked is coming up so I tend to chatter about that a LOT.
Tell us about yourself: est, though I work night shift. She/her
Character: Ingway, occasional antagonist from Odin Sphere
Permissions: Here. Ingway has a shape-shifting ability that requires ooc permission to use. So please take a look!
Tell us about them: Ingway is just arriving this Friday, and is coming from his own death and the end of his world- so he's going to be pretty disoriented and touchy. He's a sneaky cunning asshole, and thought the best way to solve his deep rooted childhood issues was to turn into a giant dog and eat his dad. But thanks to ~love~ has started coming around a little.

Then his love and everyone else died.
Current Plans: As he's just arriving he's gonna need a place to stay and something warm cuz he has no shirt. So anyone looking barter or take in a hobo is nice. As people he can troll with his magic.
Anything else: I'm on mobile so show me your gifs instead!

Can he and Cat-Eyed Boy just impersonate each other with their shapeshifting/illusion skills

[darkova]

what ele would you use shapeshifting skills for? B3

[grimalkid]

Nothing, if you aren't a LOSER.

[covertizer]

if he mentions those warming potions, akira will absolutely help him find the ingredients or ingredient substitutes in exchange for a couple of them... pls.... freezing to death is not on his to do list....

also had has a spare shirt now that ingway could borrow in a pinch

[darkova]

Ingway only has the stuff to make like, two, but if people are willing to pool favors to get him more ingredients he will ttly make as many as possible 83

[covertizer]

for the sake of Not Dying he might find some takers....!

[mindread_it_all]

Wow, an Ingway! This game's cast has been very exciting for me and your character is no exception.

[achievementhunter]

Put a damn shirt on you heathen.

Also welcome to the game!
