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: Eric
Contact: overbringer
Tell us about yourself: Timezone: PST (GMT-8)
Pronouns: He/his
Favorite dank meme: Boneless Pizza
Character: Sonje Forstner (quietknight), an Original Character and castmate to Isette, who will probably also be on this meme somewhere
Permissions: Sonje is an ordinary human with no special permission requiring powers. The only unusual thing she has is an enchanted shield that deflects magic, causing it to ricochet wildly. I made this thing though.
Tell us about them: After her family was sent into dishonor and poverty by a rival noble house, Sonje took up her grandfather's adventuring gear and set out to try and seek her fortune as a wandering mercenary knight before her family went COMPLETELY bankrupt. She hasn't gotten rich yet, but she's always hoping that maybe the NEXT job will involve a dragon's horde. She ended up working with a penniless light mage/archaeologist and a dimensionally misplaced tourist from Earth.

Sonje is incredibly focused and driven when she has to overcome physical hardships and focus on survival, but she becomes a self-conscious mess in social situations. She will headbutt a troll while screaming one day, then hide in the corner of a party while stuttering awkwardly the next. She's also very gay and very thirsty.
Current plans: Looking for attractive women in their mid 20s to early 30s for her to awkwardly crush on, fellow adventuring types for her to fight side by side with, people from Earth she can ask weird questions to (she knows of Earth, but has never been there, you see). I'm open to whatever though if you have some other kind of idea!

We traded tags and SURE WE CAN ALSO BE FIGHT BUDDIES

SURPRISE this child is very driven and adventury so if she's the type to look past someone's age she will find that this child will immediately be ready to Die For Her

[quietknight]

She might definitely underestimate Chara because of their age at first. Give her time. She'll come around.

Or just like, violently be awesome at her until she has no choice but to admit that Chara is not to be fucked with.

[achievementhunter]

They can be violent does that count as awesome???

[quietknight]

It counts as scary, at least.
