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!

Tell us about yourself: They/them, EST. My hours are going to get shorter since I'm doing a new job so I might be slower on the tag front. But if you need something tagged ASAP, just let me know!

Character: The Batter | [personal profile] unpurify
Permissions: N/A

Tell us about them: The protagonist of the video game OFF. Stoic to the point of near emotionless but is currently trying to work on that (and kind of failing). Still fails to have a sense of humor and is nowhere near as chill as that icon suggests. Can't human for the life of him.

Current plans: Fresh off of the Memory Event, setting his positive CR with Ren on fire and getting punched in the stomach, the Batter is actively trying to learn how emotions work and how to live in general without trying to think up ways for the island and himself to die. So this time around getting positive CR with him will be slightly more easier but expect him to fuck it up at some point. And as always, those with negative CR may find the Batter looks a little different to them.

Anything else:

You're welcome.

YES MORE OF THE DISASTER DUO

If there's a safe place established during the event, I might have the Batter take a break there, if Ren is able to stay glued to the elves and not get lost.

Come meet Omega! And WTF over the fact that nobody else is seeing the dinoduck like she is lol
catpiper: (at 10:15 in the morning kids tequatl)

[personal profile] catpiper 2018-01-03 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
OH YEAH SHE'S GOTTA MEET HIS OTHER CIRCLE

heck they'll find a way to meet during the event!! i'm sure someone will establish a camp and ren isn't about to run away from the safest place. She's gonna be so upset he's still a duck tho oh my god. change back please.

Yes come meet glowing circle of pure energy #2. This one's a little less aggressive and comes with neat healing spells.

That's out of his control sadly, sorry Ren. If she asks why he's still like that the Batter will probably give Ren a run-down on how the human -> dinoduck shift works.

God I have no idea what kind of CR Sonje would have with the Batter, but from what I know of OFF it seems super interesting and creative and I'd love to find out! Sonje is a socially awkward knight in shining armor OC so...maybe that will lead to something interesting???

I don't even know. I just woke up.
unpurify: (33)

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-03 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Same hahah. But let's toss them at each other and see where it goes! OFF is...well, it's sure something lol and I'm down with socially awkward knights in shinning armor so it should be fun!
quietknight: (Ooh cute)

[personal profile] quietknight 2018-01-03 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I forsee lots of awkward silence as Sonje tries to think of anything to say and the Batter just remains stoic as shit.

Silent protagonist party for the win.

[personal profile] quietknight 2018-01-03 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we've also got like 3 characters who are actually mute. Let's recruit them too.

I mean, Muffet is already trying to help Ardyn deal with How Do Existing and he's basically a bunch of daemons in a suit, so helping the Batter learn how to live like a people isn't that much more of a stretch, right? ...Also she's from a species where emotions are literally magic, so she might have some knowledge on the subject.
unpurify: (35)

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-04 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yes please Muffet, please help this jerk with emotions because he sure as hell can't people. But yeah, UT's magic will probably help him out and he'd be interested in learning a bit about it.
prettypurpleparlor: The way into my parlor (Default)

[personal profile] prettypurpleparlor 2018-01-04 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
She'd be happy to help. ...Huh, now that I think about it, bringing Undertale-style magic into the picture raises an interesting question: does the Batter have a soul?
unpurify: (87)

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-04 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
He actually does! It may come off as younger then he appears because he was made by a kid, and in UT terms I think it'd be somewhere between Justice/Determination? Or just a very twisted example of it because the Batter makes Poor Life Choices like they're going out of style.

[personal profile] prettypurpleparlor 2018-01-04 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily for him Bad Decisions are definitely not something that disqualifies you from being a person. ...If anything, it's evidence in favor of it.
unpurify: (65)

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-05 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think he'd realize that but the Batter has depersonalization issues out the wazzo. Good luck Muffet!
achievementhunter: (eh what's the prob bob)

[personal profile] achievementhunter 2018-01-04 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
More Batter all day erryday. I'mma be hitting up memory stuff tonight so that'll be a great start to that!
unpurify: (09)

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-04 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes it is a great start! I am so sorry for that particular memory Chara.

BRING IT ON BUDDY

I've been meaning to get CR with Guzma sometime so an arm wrestling match is clearly the best time to do so :D
mamaterasu: (Annoying god)

[personal profile] mamaterasu 2018-01-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I mean

not like the sun is dying or anything.

[personal profile] unpurify 2018-01-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly the best timing ever.

But the Batter is going to be out and about during that even so if you wanna do something for that I'm all ears!
yallstupid: (BRUH)

[personal profile] yallstupid 2018-01-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still fairly unsure what Guzma will be doing, though afaik right now, he'll remain on enso, protecting his shack and trying to keep himself from freezing to death or whatever. DETERMINATION.
