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: Ruri
Contact: saltandburn (plurk), marvelouscheer#4580 (discord)
Tell us about yourself: CST. Lately, I've only been able to tag at night.
Character: Ushii, Warrior of the Ox, geniusofslaughter.
Permissions: Pow
Tell us about them:

Ox is one of the Zodiac Warriors of his world. Essentially, he's tasked to fight in wars until he dies. (laughs) All the other Zodiac members have some supernatural capability (e.g. flying, almost impenetrable skin, etc). Ox doesn't have any supernatural ability -- he just is the apex of all human physical capabilities. He's honestly pretty chill outside of battle, and tends to be rather almost exceptionally cordial to people which off-sets how he is fighting.

Current plans: Super new character for me so I'm just attempting to figure out his voice and go from there. I hope to be able to have positive and negative CR. He's the kind of person that tends to make people not fully understand him 'cause his way of thinking is kind of out there.
Anything else: He's seriously a chill ass-dude, though.



... yeah he has huge horns that stick out of his head but that is to indicate his place as being the Warrior of the Ox. Way to make it super obvious, yeah?

[lightlessfuture]

the knight doesn't know shit about humans but you have horns so you get extra points from them! horn buddies

[geniusofslaughter]

Horn buddies! Share concerns of how to walk into rooms and duck 'cause entryways aren't meant for horns.

[growingpains]

Idk if it says anything about me but that coffee he's drinking looks so good.

But hello Ruri! I'm Jenni and brand spanking new! I bring in small cat boy Ritsuka from Loveless. Ox sounds just like someone from his canon and I'd like for them to meet :)

[geniusofslaughter]

Not copyright Starbucks is always delicious!

Hello, Jenni! That would be lovely. He'll wonder if Ritsuka is a fighter, too, 'cause weird animal parts. Comes with the gig. (laughs) Surprisingly, no one really mentions it in canon as being a super weird thing ... even though it's pretty odd to see someone with huge-ass horns on their head, I'm sure.

[geniusofslaughter]

Whomp-whomp.

[achievementhunter]

I'd love for him to have some chill around this child who is constantly confused when their lack of chill is just met with a line face.

[geniusofslaughter]

Met with the most line face and calm-ass response -- but also his calm ass responses tend to be also really weird.

[mamaterasu]

hey uhhhhhhhhhh so her canon had gods that are based off the zodiac animals and Ammy may be interested to know about you, strange ox man. Why isn't your attribute ice THIS IS ALL WRONG AND WEIRD, MAN.

[geniusofslaughter]

He comes off as a very serious, gloomy ox-man, but he would be very happy to talk to her. He'll happily talk about the weird shit that is Zodiac households and treat her respectively as a god/representative of her own household. Prepare to be treated as a warrior of your amazing caliber, Ammy.

[mamaterasu]

oh man, she doesn't talk (or chooses not to as I play her), but would happily listen and doodle pictures of her own world's Ox God for him and stuff. But his stoic attitude will not deter her, LMFAO. She'd just find him hysterical and love on him more.

Prepare for smooches, my man.

[geniusofslaughter]

;A; Finally someone who doesn't find his stoic nature a threat. It warms his heart.

WHAT A GOOD MOTHER SPIRIT.

[mamaterasu]

LISTEN, SHE HAS DEALT WITH ALL KINDS, THE STOIC ONES ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE SNUGGLED THE MOST IT'S TRUFAX 100%

aaaa i'm so excited.

[geniusofslaughter]

IT'S REAL TRUE ;a;

someone: i thought you were a pacifist
ox: i'm not.
someone: [oh shit he wants to fight]
ox: [just answering the question, mate]

;A; DOGGO-MOM.

[yallstupid]

LMFAO OH NO, THIS POOR IDIOT BOY.......i love him already.

ammy loves him too. gonna protect the heckie deckie outta him. ;w;

[geniusofslaughter]

granted, he was in a battle royale so he would have to fight eventually, but wasn't planning on fighting immediately. he's a dummy who is overly straight-forward and confuses a lot of people 'cause he doesn't explain himself since he figures that he's being very clear.

;w; he's never been protected. what a concept!!

[yallstupid]

LOL WELP, WELCOME TO OUR GAME (squidward). where everything is made up and the sun don't matter, only it really does. holy shit. please save the sun. But aaahhh I am so excited now. I can't wait to thread with you. ♥ hopefully after some breakfast I can get on the Intro log soon and/or tag out.

ALWAYS TIME FOR TRYING NEW THINGS.
