OOC INTRO ( MARCH )

OOC INTRO: MARCH

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! You've arrived on the cusp of some brand new developments in terms of plot and exploration both! Islanders last month were given the opportunity to vote for whichever destination they wanted to travel to next, and the decision boiled down to an island that contains civilization. You can read up on the brand new island of Ai'tuoh over HERE!

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 March 4th. 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!

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; it helps us out a lot!

3. Drops. Sometimes games don't click, or RL takes precedence, and that's fine! In those cases, we would vastly prefer it if you used the drop post instead of idling out of the game, as LifeAftr's AC system means it will take up to two months for you to be removed from the comms.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of March - 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.

Aster (Xion)

[attheclocktower]

Character: Aster (a.k.a. Xion) attheclocktower
Permissions: nah
Tell us about them: Xion is from one Square Enix property, Kingdom Hearts. A very sweet child whom a lot of bad things happened to and absolutely deserved better. Except this one also comes circa the horror towerofanimus. After two years of actual hell, in which she was put through the proverbial meat grinder and came out actually the better on the other end, she was sent home with memories intact, determined to try to avert the cruel fate that canon has in store for her. And then she ended up here instead. Which has had it's ups and downs but has gotten a lot better.
Current plans: So uh. She is gonna be regretting her vote pretty hardcore. So she will be trying to make up for it by running covert recon. And possibly stealing a book of rules from the library, which according to Bird will be a lot easier than stealing from elsewhere. I'm actually planning for her to not get captured and attempt to help with what inevitable rescue happens. Besides that she's working on fixing up her house and sparring/training with folks to make up for lost progress.

It's important to note that Aster is often found in the company of Shion (savedbyasong), her adoptive brother. So if your character knows her from more than a couple interactions, chances are they've probably at least seen him. ALSO A REMINDER THAT SHE HAS ASKED EVERYONE TO CALL HER ASTER FOR NOW.

Tell us about yourself: Timezone is EST and they/them pronouns. Currently working at a restaurant so my hours are later then usual.

Character: The Batter (unpurify) and Seto (buryyourfriends)

Permissions: Seto | The Batter. Please fill out Seto's permission post if you're interested in opting into his empathetic ability!

Tell us about them: The Batter is the protagonist of the RPG Maker game OFF. A stoic guy who's life goal was to beat up ghosts with a baseball bat, succeed and destroyed the world and killed himself. Tends to answer everything with either 'yes', 'no' or 'whatever'...or just very short sentences. Pretty much never smiles. Currently trying to do good things, but it's a one step forward two steps back progress so far and is also rapidly starting to lose his chill in not-so-nice ways. Tends to look like this to those with negative CR with him, so enjoy your sudden body horror.

Seto on the other hand is a rather cheerful kid and the post apocalyptic protagonest of Fragile Dreams, aka This Is Fine: The Game or Silent Hill: Kids Addition. Currently heavily overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people on the island and the fact his BFF Crow is back from the dead. Currently living with Ren and is part of the three raccoons team along with Crow. Likes collecting junk, can pick up the emotions contained in said junk and has a very deep fear of being alone. Having everyone you've met die pretty much within a week or so does not do good things to your mental health.

Current plans: I don't have any plans for the Batter beyond him learning to actually give a fuck about things and his not-so-subtle breakdown that may be incoming. Seto on the other hand is very likely going to get tossed into jail with the rest of the Fragile Dreams cast in the new island because they're all walking rules violations. Yay. Other then that I have no plans so hit me up with anything you might be interested in doing!

Tell us about yourself: she/her, GMT so backtagging into infinity is how I play this game. I am not cool enough for memes- I volunteer with six year olds who inform me of this fact on a weekly basis :P
Character: Shion savedbyasong
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them:Shion is a naive child from a dystopian city who got into more trouble than he could handle, got rescued by an overdramatic jerk and has white hair and red eyes due to an incident with a parasitic bee. He believes that people are worth saving and tend to try and do the Right Thing even if that causes further problems down the line. He comes to these islands via a two and a half year stint in a horror game and so is... less innocent to say the least.

He started off on mostly good if unsure footing as his adopted sister Aster is here. He made friends and has started learning to draw via Yuka's art club. However the floating islands made him upset as they used memory and also controlled him to hurt people and then his wish was mean. He wants to escape (though he's less sure about going home).
Current plans: I mean he's going to be exploded on four times by baby phoenix's. So look forward to that please. Also on more serious notes he would like to plan some kind of information sharing gathering at some point. Also the new island is going to be all kinds of not good for him- he is likely to end up in jail, probably for public displays of affection because he is very physical in how he interacts with people. Really I am up for anything though, he's still new, I've loved all his CR so far and more is always good!
Anything else:

[suspecteverything]

Depending on how possible things are (and probably even if they aren't at all possible), if Jules hears that Shion has been put in jail he's going to make a rescue attempt. Totally.

Character: Ren catpiper
Permissions: Empathy opt out! .
Tell us about them: Dying girl from a post-apocalyptic world where everyone is dead. She's grown into being a super curious individual that wants to be near e v e r y o n e. She's a literal raccoon that collects trash and thinks that shiny rocks are awesome treasures. Generally ambles around, likes to play games, to be around people and hold hands. Her special talents include hiding from anything that remotely scares her, being a cat whisperer, playing tag, and making flower crowns. She might accidentally steal from you!! But she's doing her best and has a good heart and wants everyone to be happy. Also has a cat friend she will happily ramble about forever. Here's her inventory. Surprise, it's mostly garbage!
Current plans: Jail Ren is offensive in every way to the new island. That's the plan.

Permissions: it here

Tell us about them: Phantom Thief, coffee lover, curry maker and professional risk taker. I was on hiatus last month, so Akira's a bit out of sorts and had a weird dream at the end of the month before he woke up, so he's a little behind on recent events. Aside from all that, he'll be uh... trying not to get himself arrested this month just for existing, pretty much. Help him.

Current plans: I still want to expand his current CR where I can and get plenty more for him if possible! Come to me....

He's also apparently going to have two Phoenixes not love him, two explode on him and then find himself a new pet.

Anything else:

[alittleditty]

So fun fact I'm actually watching an LP of P5 right now (because one needs money to buy it, though I will do that someday).

So as for that CR... grabby hands with Aster or Tataru both whichever works easiest... Aster's going to be trying to do the covert recon thing and Tataru's gonna get arrested so....

Character: Eichi Tenshouin finethanks
Permissions: General permissions & info
Tell us about them: The ~Emperor~ of Yumenosaki Academy, which is an academy of all boys (and one new girl) focused on idols! He's been sickly since he was born and can be very fragile for it, but despite that he's caused an idol war and overturned an entire school, even affecting things overseas with his actions. He's from a rich, influential family and he knows how to use that along with all of his other assets to get his way. It's just that he also thinks this is the Right thing to do, no matter how merciless he has to be! He really does mean well, but he's known to be kind of a tyrant and a lot of people are afraid of him. Now, he doesn't regret his actions, but he does realize what he's done and the weight of it and doesn't expect forgiveness from anyone. Tl;dr he's a sweet looking sick boy who will do Anything to get to his goals when he believes they're right.
Current plans: I need more CR in general! Positive, negative, anything anyone wants to throw at me. Tea lover friends, people he can pun with endlessly, someone who can teach him to not say "commoner food" or the like and just teach him what it's like to not be rich, someone who can hook him up with some clothes or help when he nearly dies?? But also people that he can help out in some way with his rambling 5 paragraph speeches on existentialism and who knows what else. Friends... enemies... people he can sing to or people he can encourage to follow their own paths, everything!
Anything else: ignoring that they typoed virtue, look at him

Player: Zero
Contact: arrpee and zero#8942 on discord; feel free to add if you don't mind pointless rp blather!
Tell us about yourself: PST, they/them, one third of ur modteam
Character: Tim Wright of Marble Hornets (postictal), The Drifter of Hyper Light Drifter (hyperlit), and Gabe Goodman of Next to Normal (ungrieved)
Permissions/Opt-Outs: TIM | DRIFTER | GABE
Tell us about them:

TIM is a CRAU, a chain-smoker, a depressed boy, and is in the process of unwittingly adopting a great deal of children. He's chock-full of mental health shit so feel free to give his opt-out/permissions post a poke if you're like "uh zero what the fuck is this". He's bizarrely adjusted in some ways and shoveling himself deeper in his own shit in others, but he's doing his best to be like, slightly more organized as a person than he has in the past. Last month he got in touch with his inner "let me help people" and tried to do some nice stuff for the kids and people around the island which is weird because this is maybe the first time he willingly did something nice just for the hell of it. Look at that he's growing.

THE DRIFTER is a silent, blue-skinned wanderer who communicates via sign language and/or a little bobbing sprite thing that hovers by their shoulder and projects text. They're suffering from an incurable terminal illness and learning what it is to live in a world where people Aren't Fantasy Racist. They're just a good bean.

GABE is a walking spoiler and a tiny baby who looks like he's seventeen years old but is in actuality something like eighteen months and behaves about as maturely as you'd expect. Routinely mocking, frequently cruel, and still adapting to what it is to live in a body made of flesh and blood. He has no conceptualization of his limits while constantly trying to push into those of others. He has a 95% chance of latching onto literally anyone he comes across so that he can either a) harass them nonstop or b) project his weird idea of what a family should be like onto them. He's actually learning to be like, in a mortal human body now, so that's nice I guess.

Current plans:

TIM is likely to try and fit in with the populace of Ai'tuoh in the interest of not causing a scene but he's also liable to fail if he catches someone he knows getting on the wrong side of the law, because he'll want to intervene and that will probably go...Bad. He has the cautious instinct going for him but his desire to Help The People He Gets Attached To is likely to bite him in the ass.

THE DRIFTER is...fucked. They're fucked. They're used to being fucked thanks to fantasy racists giving them a hard time in their universe, but their clothing is too bright and they carry too many weapons anD THEY COMMUNICATE VIA WRITTEN TEXT SO. yeah. theyre Fucked pretty much immediately. whoops. who wants to be jail buddies.

GABE is........shoCKINGLY AND HORRIFYINGLY the most likely of my trio to last the longest??? god this is awful. as long as he cuts off his pockets or stitches them shut he'll make it through fine. thanks to the Shit that january shoveled on him he's way less likely to make a scene just for the hell of it than he was in the past. He might even be encouraged to raise a little ruckus and steal shit because he's probably not gonna like these people too much lmao

Anything else:

[catpiper]

I can't believe Gabe's gonna last the longest. Wow. YOU GO BEAN DO YOUR BEST.

Also, Ren will be thrown in jail early on. Does Driftybean wanna hang with her? She's gonna wanna make sure they're okay at least.

Tell us about yourself: US central, they, I exist occassionally
Character: Shouto Todoroki (byhalves) from My Hero Academia, though you might recognize me from when I was here as McCree but he's been put out to pasture for the time being.
Permissions: Over here!
Tell us about them: Shouto is the youngest son of one of Japan's most prolific (and notorious) professional heroes, who really wanted his son to be number one. Unfortunately Endeavor's idea of how to make that happen was Very Fucking Bad and Shouto is now about 85% motivated by the desire to spite his father.

He's currently attending a fancy high school to learn how to be a pro hero, has ice AND fire powers that have been nerfed real good, and he's Not Great With People. For anyone familiar with the canon, he's from Chapter 167, so there's spoilers for anyone who's just watching the anime
Current plans: Well he's New so there's that whole "where am i, what year is it" situation, which isn't going to be made any easier once the new island pops up.
Anything else: shoutout 2 maggie for making this

[finethanks]

Eichi hates heroes but in a complicated "fairy tales aren't real and I never had a childhood to hear them" sort of way, so I want cr instantly just from that tbh

But also "not great with people" is a recipe for Eichi bugging someone immediately, so prepare to be pestered as soon as possible

Tell us about yourself: EST, He/Him. I'm a huge awkward dork with a lot of anxiety issues so while I may not approach you very often, I always welcome contact initiated by others. Mostly I just complain about overwatch and play Skyrim all day.

Character: Gobbet (ratsinadaze) and Atsuko "Akko" Kagari (thatsmymagic)

Permissions: Gobbet | Akko

Tell us about them:
GOBBET is an ork shaman from the game Shadowrun: Hong Kong. She's a criminal mercenary operative (shadowrunner) and kind of an asshole when you get down to the nitty gritty of her personality, but is generally pretty chill when she's not punching heavily injured men for perceived slights. She's alone most of the time and you've probably only ever seen her napping in her hammock outside her shack, but she's not unwilling to help out, especially if supplies or some form of pay are provided.

AKKO is a young witch from Little Witch Academia. She is very energetic and cheerful, and her enthusiasm is often extremely contagious. She believes in herself, and in you, and in the best of everything. Currently living with three "monsters" (she sees nothing wrong with any of them - they look a bit like fairies or trolls, and she thinks they're all very nice), Akko can be found out and about on her broom or practicing magic, or gathering supplies with which to repair and maintain the cottage she lives in.

Current plans:
GOBBET needs to get out more and do some stuff. She wants to organize some easier methods of gathering/maintaining food. Gardening has proven to be Not Her Strong Suit, but she's been spear fishing in shallow waters and could feasibly teach others how to do the same. Let me know if you want her anywhere, especially on explorations. In the upcoming event she's going to wait for some preliminary reports of the island before visiting, but her initial visits will be jailbreak attempts that inevitably fail.

AKKO needs to continue getting settled and focus a bit more on survival aspects of life rather than practicing magic all day. She'd be very glad to teach others magic or help them out in any way they might need. What I'm saying is: if you need help, want to learn a new spell, or want to interact with akko at all hmu I'll love u 5ever. During the upcoming island reveal/event/thing, Akko is going straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Come save this child please.

Character: Wade Wilson (ishotyouuu)
Tell us about them: Nutty mercenary with a healing factor who struggles every day to rid the world of the stereotype that Canadians are nice, well-adjusted people. Hero with a heapin' helping of anti. He's also amazingly handsome and an absolute tiger in the sack... ladies.*
*above statement may not be accurate

Okay fo'real-- Wade's basically a chewy nougat of insecurity and abandonment issues wrapped around a layer of witty quips and pop culture references. He's a dual CRAU coming in from havenrpg and sol_raveh, so he's been trying to reconcile his sudden bouts of heroism and compassion with his desire to push people away as a defense mechanism (making friends is hard when you know they'll all die someday and you won't haha...ha), so he's still very conflicted as a result. Expect him to be shallowly funny to a fault until you really get to know him and his inner demons. Deep down, the dude's a mess.
Current plans: I’m up for anything! Positive CR, negative CR, people he can have awkward sexual tension with, whatever!

Character: Kanata Shinkai (seafriends)
Permissions: puka puka

Tell us about them: Kanata is a very 'my pace' type of boy that honestly is less troubled than he ought to be after being whisked away to LifeAftr. Back home, he's the winning combination of being an idol in a power ranger themed unit at his fancy idol academy and he's a living god with many devoted followers. While he probably will not speak about the latter much if at all, please come speak to him if you like idols, need someone to soothe you, or just really want to learn about the ocean because there is nothing this boy loves more than fish.

Current plans: I really just want lots and lots of CR, be it good or bad or otherwise! Kanata is unfortunately going to get so jailed on the upcoming island, but also he'll be looking for eventual help in setting up the inflatable kiddie pool he got from the floating islands once he's not so jailed? Please stand and watch help him carry sea water back and forth to his home, perhaps?

Character: Takane Shijou (sorewatopsecret)
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Known as the "Silver Queen" by her fans, Takane is an idol from 765 Productions. She's known for her oddly-colored hair, her elegant and princess-like aura, and having everything beyond her public profile shrouded in mystery. No one knows much about her, where she comes from, and why she wants to be a top idol. Any personal questions directed towards her usually ends up with a change in subject, a vague answer, or simply shutting it down with her catchphrase: "That is top secret/classified information." Rumors have it that she may be an alien from the moon, a royal scion from Germany, or simply from Kyoto. No one really knows.

In reality, she's actually a complete weirdo. She speaks with outdated terminology, can't pronounce modern words properly, and doesn't know how a vending machine works. Waves at billboards like they're actual people. Also, she has a strange fixation on food (especially ramen!) and the moon. Might be a black belt in judo.
Current plans: As she has only been here for one month, I'm looking for CR of any kind with her! Takane is polite and rather easy to get along with, being somewhat passive and will never get jalapeno business. She gets along well with children, having a bit of an older sister type of approach towards others. Since she's weird and a bit air-headed/ignorant towards everything ever, it would be interesting for her to get to know someone who could keep her eccentricities in check and also prevent her from enabling other people's bizarre tendencies.

I think for the first few days, for this new island, Takane will try to contribute by using the fact her appearance and personality is easy to conform with the Unerring Law to her advantage, and try to help in spying/gathering information. However, she's made quite a few friends during her stay here, so when she finds out that they're being drugged and jailed by the island's militia... She's going to try "borrowing" a militia member's possessions and infiltrate the barracks in disguise... only to find out this doesn't work like in the movies and also get drugged and jailed. If you must fail, at least fail with great effort.

Ritsu is one of the two Sakuma brothers who are both vampires, we think it is never fully honest, but because of that he is going to be a half vampire in this game! Since he doesn't have to have blood to live but does enjoy it. He also is lazy and barely even dresses himself. Ritsu sleeps anywhere and everywhere, catch him sleeping in new exciting locations! In canon it is said because of low blood pressure but also because he is weak to sunlight. He likes to tease and poke at people but also will fight for you if you're his friend and he cares about you.

Current plans: EVERYTHING! I am looking for anything and everything! The only plans so far is that he lives with Eichi and will probably be arrested at some point!
Anything else:

In Ren's world, sleeping A Lot means v bad things, like you're about to kick the bucket. She'd be worried about him like the second or third time she saw him napping somewhere and would want to keep an eye on him.

She's actually arrived in Lifafter immediately after fleeing Arvis' shack so she hasn't met ANYONE from her canon yet. FUN. She was in LA before, and now she's back so. ya~y~

Current plans: Still getting accustomed to LA, and finding material for stories since she plans on submitting to get some of her memories back. (though I suppose she could bum a story off Noctis or Ignis.. XD) I welcome positive and negative CR and pretty much all the things. :3

[suspecteverything]

Character: Jules Dagger Samari suspecteverything
Permissions: Here since Jules has telepathy
Tell us about them: Jules is a former prince turned Tavali pirate after his family disowned him and put a pretty hefty (and vicious) kill warrant out on him. He pretty much trusts nobody given the number of people after his life, both family and otherwise. He hasn't been here very long, so his distrust and paranoia are pretty high.
Current plans: Definitely need some new CR, especially with people who can deal with a sarcastic asshole that thinks you might be trying to kill him. He's also big into charity, so if there are any obviously clueless/kind characters that don't appear at all threatening and are in need of something, let me know! Jules is already anonymously leaving food for one person on the island. I'm sure we could come up with a way to have him identify a need even if they never officially meet.

He will likely be avoiding our lovely new island since he hasn't explored much of the current ones. Anything he hears about it could make him change his mind, or confirm that he should stay the heck away from there.

Anything else: Turnips. Yeah.

Fighting as the team support, she has medium-tier punchy abilities, plus stat buff and healing powers. Her team's mentor turned out to be a lunatic trying to merge the dream world with the real world, and she actually got Yuka on board to betray her team, then there was a punch of punching and crying and now she's a good guy again. It's a bit complicated.

- Art club! Just started, meets once a week in the Chamber of Glyphs. People of all artistic passions are free to join, regardless of experience level or medium. She draws.
- It sounds like Kyouko is probably going to jail on the new island, so a jailbreak plot may be in order. Yuka herself is unlikely to go there untill that happens - blue hair, so she'd be in trouble immediately.

Stuff I'd like to go on:
- Some actual new CR! I was pretty scarce last month, so I wanna dive into the newbie pool and meet some new people soon. Yuka is a soft girl who's good at picking up on social cues, so she's a decent fit for people who have Hidden Depths or who are just kind of subtle about expressing themselves. She's a lot more outgoing than she was when she started the game, so if you want someone who can be an anchor of sense in a world of chaos as you adjust to the fucked-up new world, or if you get your ass kicked and need a quick heal, she's your gal.
- Getting closer to her old CR! She has a decent number of Pals, but the number of people she's comfortable opening up about her Various Anxieties with are pretty limited at this point. If you've hung out with Yuka before, I am basically guaranteed to be down for more of it later.
- Art club can always use more people.
- Yuka wants to learn how to dance. Ballroom, ideally, but anything's good.

Anything else:

It's hard to find appropriate shitposts for OCs so here's an inappropriate one, also gender is fake

[finethanks]

Eichi's "special skill" is ballroom dancing, actually....... but also his thread with Yuka was super fun!! I'd love for them to interact more in general tbh

Character: Lady Maria (cainhurst)
Permissions: here!
Tell us about them: Maria comes from a gothic/lovecraftian horror setting, so by default she has Seen Some Shit. But she is actually a very kind and caring individual, a little aloof and soft-spoken, and generally just tries to be helpful. Though there are times that she can be very Intense in contrast, she generally means well. She is basically her canon's version of a vampire, though not quite enough to be truly defined by it. She rocks a cool sword and a pistol, and will probably take everything that happens on all these islands in stride.
Current plans: She is new! So I want all the CR! Saying hi to her neighbors, maybe, when I figure out where she's going to stay. Trading for supplies, exploring, etc.
Anything else: IT'S LATE AND I WILL HIT UP THE INTRO LOG TOMORROW BUT FOR NOW-

[catpiper]

Ren's pretty easy to get along with and they might end up being friends! She's a weird, kind person that tries her best to make people happy and has also seen some shit.

Character: Laurent, crosslaced
Permissions: bam
Tell us about them:
Laurent comes from medieval political intrigue series, which has a lot of nsfw material at the start but I promise it's worth it :,) He's been described as a snake- cold-blooded, venomous, dangerous, will eviscerate you when he opens his mouth, unable to generate his own body heat and desperately craves warmth, kind of just wants to mind his own business please stop disturbing his snake nest, He is without a doubt awful. Don't believe his giant dog boyfriend. If you're a kid, though, you get a free pass and are welcome to pet his horse (with supervision.)

Yes, he comes with a horse!! If you love horses, come talk to him!!

He also comes with magic, cus he's a soulgemmed CRAU and he's a magical girl!!! (Actually he's a Wraith because of uh reasons but boy is that a long story.)

Current plans:
I'm up for anything really! He'll be sneaking around Ai'tuoh when that comes up, let him teach you how not to get arrested.
He is (still) currently a hunter by trade and lives near the FFXV bros on islet 1! There is extra space in his cottage and you will live in close proximity with two horses… but its current residents are literally a couple on their honeymoon so I'm not sure if you want to put up with that

Anything else: guys please butternut is a master of psychological manipulation,

Keith

[thermalwind]

Character: Keith [focusedroar]
Permissions: Here.
Tell us about them: Keith is a serious, intense swordsman that used to be part of team space cat. He's got moodiness and sass down pat but if you need someone to leap into danger he's your man. As far as surviving goes he has that down fairly well. Whether knife or sword, he can wield both and pilot like a dream. There is a gentler side to his rough edges but you have to earn your way towards it.

Then there are people who confuse him and will always be side-eyed that works too.
Current plans: Keith is going to put his scouting and stealth to use on the next island. He's gathering resources but is pretty willing to work with a team. He might go do his own thing during said team's mission but rest assured it won't be unless he feels it needs done.

With a pet on hand now he'll be looking to replace his hut with all stone. He likes you baby firebird but no burning down his shack.

our current plans are ruling Enso economically and being too good at crime to go to jail.

how about Taako rolls to get his own firebird and he can name that one Hot Wings

Character: Prompto | want_to_belong
Permissions: Permissions

Tell us about them: Prompto has been on the island since the beginning with his bros Ignis and Noctis and his non-bro, Ardyn. He's generally friendly, willing to help and open to most people (but might take a while to warm up to giant bugs and spiders, sorry Muffet). He likes girls but he fails at life when he's around them, and he can be a little oblivious to how he treats them like mythical unicorns that fart rainbows and poop tiny perfect pearls.
He's more used to the idea of non-humans now and is more open to people who are other species.
He also has a baby chocobo that he adores.

Current plans: I'm open to any kind of CR, positive or negative. Prompto is going to be a positive person around most other people, so he wouldn't likely try to start negative CR on his own without good reason (e.g. Being Ardyn).
Currently he'll be partaking in efforts to get fresh pairs of underwear, try to make coffee, and build pens or stables for all the birds they're collecting.
I'm not always the fastest tagger, but I will backtag into oblivion.

[onegreeneye]

Character: Ginko (onegreeneye)

Permissions: Here! General interaction permissions plus some content warnings, since he’s originally from a horror anime and CRAU’d from a horror game.

Tell us about them: Ginko is a tired furry rock monster who used to be a tired magic pest control guy. He’s overall a pretty sweet guy, though with some incredibly low self-esteem (that he mostly avoids bringing up) and some aggression problems from his time in Ryslig (which he does his best to stomp down). He’s got a huge soft spot for kids and would really appreciate if everyone could chill the fuck out and stop making bad life choices for five minutes.

Current plans: Ginko won’t be spending too long on Ai’tuoh when it goes up, because it makes him VERY uncomfortable, but he WILL be observing the baby phoenixes from a distance a lot and also. You know, running around trying to do damage control when people explode them. And being sad after his totally-not-boyfriend McFucking Dies because that’s what happens when you’re a plant man trying to tame a phoenix.

In general, he’s always on the lookout for people he can help out one way or another, which is most relevant when it comes to basic first-aid or stuff involving plants. I am good with any number of CR types arising from his nosiness; negative CR can be kind of hard to maintain with him since he’s far too forgiving and also usually just avoids people he doesn’t like, but I am not at all opposed to trying.

Tell us about yourself: She/Her, EST, I'm easy to get along with.
Character: Minako Aino/Sailor Venus (loveme_chain)
Permissions: here
Tell us about them: Before she was Minako, she was Venus. Her mission back then is the same as it is now; protect Usagi/Serenity. Some would say that the physical resemblance between Venus and Serenity was fortuitous in that she'd make a suitable stand-in if the occasion should call for it. The resemblance, physical and otherwise, is still there as is her love for her princess and her sisters-in-arms.

TL:DR is that she's a happy, bubbly girl who likes to have fun, likes to sing, and loves her friends. But she also knows when to be serious.
Current plans: At the moment, I don't have any brilliant plans aside from her taking one of those firebird chicks home. She's naming it Rei~ She'll also need to see about learning some practical life skills.

Character: Commander Shepard tenthstreetbred
Permissions: Right here!
Tell us about them: Shepard is a space marine from the far future where the entire Milky Way galaxy is getting munched on by giant robotic space squids. She's managed to save said galaxy from said squids but ultimately died in the process and now she's here! Her time in LifeAftr has been mostly trying to figure out what brought them all here, why, and how she can help get everyone back home where they belong. She's also barely talked about any of her problems because she's just Like That but boy howdy do they weigh on her.
Current plans: I'm good with all kinds of CR with Shepard, especially CR that will make her open up more about where she came from and the things she has going on with her. I'd also love more CR with characters who really want to tear apart the mystery of LifeAftr and figure it out together! Plus when we get back to exploration I'd love more of that too. Basically, give me all of your CR, thanks.

[savedbyasong]

Shion here has only been in life-aftr a month but he is very much wanting to tear apart the mystery and get everyone home. He is a crau and so has already done the whole escaping from a weird world and fixing everything thing once. He definitely wants to at least gather people and share info. So these two could definitely meet.
