OOC INTRO: JUNE

State of the Game
...now, now. Don't look at us like that. We know that at least some of you were happy to see the end of Bliss.

Welcome, new arrivals, and hello again to the oldcomers! May sure was a busy month for all of us, wasn't it? Between exploring an island, fighting some sentient plants, and killing a god, you islanders have been awfully busy. The island of Ziziphus won't be around for much longer, we're sorry to say - but we still do recommend that newcomers read up on said island on either the locations page or its introduction post, so they have some context for 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 June 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. As of last month, we've officially switched to the ACSavior tool! This means that, while we no longer require that you tag your characters in the comms to have your AC counted, we strongly recommend it for housekeeping purposes! Characters who fail AC will be swept. We will also be following up with players who are getting consistent strikes or regularly passing with the bare minimum. 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. Setting Changes. As we mentioned earlier, Ziziphus won't be around for very much longer - the god that lived there certainly lived there, to a very, er, "in-depth" extent. For those who were with us back in December, you'll be seeing a very familiar shape on the horizon, come this month's intro...

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of June - 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: Ruka
Contact: rukafais Sure, add me, I don't mind!
Tell us about yourself: Weird backwards australian timezone, I take they/them, he/him, she/her, I draw a lot and I do a lot of tabletopping chatter in between RP. Like, I draw a shit ton.
Character: The Knight | Hollow Knight | lightlessfuture
Permissions: There's a permission post in the Knight's journal here. Check it out if you don't want to be spoiled for the game, since the Knight is taken from postgame.
Tell us about them: The Knight is a quiet, tired little bug with an alarming amount of competence in stabbing the everloving shit out of things. Doesn't know what they're doing here among so many tall squishy nonbugs, but is doing their best to protect as many of them as possible. Pretty curious, sometimes childish, totally mute. Draws and writes competently, good listener. There's some other stuff relating to their origins but uhhhhhh waggles hand, spoilers,
Current plans: ANY CR IS WELCOME, the knight is always curious to greet more people and get to know them a bit better. You're all weird, large strangers to them.

Chara would adore continuing to be a weird, large stranger for Knight to hang out with. If Knight is up for some more passive stuff maybe they'd like to help Chara with some potting of plants to take back to Enso from Ziziphus?

[lightlessfuture]

they'd love to be a helper especially after the weirdness of like, the last few events, so they're always happy to pot some plants and learn more about gardening!!

[achievementhunter]

Heck yeah time for a touch of SoL in these hectic times

[tenthstreetbred]

HELLO HELLO I want Shepard to meet this amazing little bug

[lightlessfuture]

HELLO YES the knight is always down to meet more tall, strange people who understand fighting for your life situations!! maybe they can explore together some time

[tenthstreetbred]

OMG ABSOLUTELY I need her out there doing more searches and the fact that the Knight will understand fighting for their life is gonna be confusing but nice for Shepard
