OOC INTRO ( JULY )
OOC INTRO: JULY

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! June saw our adventurers take a much-needed break from their shenanigans back in May; killing a god will take a lot out of you! But now, the latest voting session during the Storytelling must be taken into account. It was a close call, but islanders voted in favor of the island that contains ore.
You can look forward to more information regarding the island you've chosen appearing in our OOC comm soon!
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 July 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!In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of July - 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 a plurk for the purpose of making mod announcements. We also have a game discord channel, which you are welcome to join!
2. AC. We've recently 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!
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: backwards australian time, +9:30 GMT tho my sleep schedule's a bit weird sometimes so i can be up at all hours
Characters:
The Knight (
aaand NEW THIS ROUND, Papyrus (
Permissions: The Knight and Papyrus both have them in their journals if you need em, but they don't need much.
Tell us about them:
- The Knight is very small and tired and a literal mute and Ready To Fight if the need arises, which is apparently like all the time. They're learning how to be a person after someone finally thought to ask them questions about like
anything. So that's exciting!! They're always ready to make new acquaintances too because sharing is caring.
- Papyrus is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the knight except in his enthusiasm to make friends with people. He is VERY tall and VERY loud and VERY enthusiastic and has more than a few people here he'll greet with EVEN MORE ENTHUSIASM THAN NORMAL.
(Sorry I am not making him eight feet tall, he's gonna be about six feet so still tall but not ridiculously so)
And also he actually has casual clothes, which is a shocker. (Ignore the delta rune patch i'll make a proper ref for him later.) I'm gonna be a bit wobbly with him until i get used to his voice, so please bear with me if he sounds weird, let me know if i do anything horribly wrong. I'll be setting up a HMD for him in a bit.
Current plans:
For the Knight: nothing much, just continuing to greet people and explore and figure out who knows how to speak ASL. And fight things, that too.
Papyrus: Settling in, mostly! Getting used to the place and wandering around and greeting all the people he knows with ENTHUSIASM. Do you want a super gung-ho skeleton on your hands? Well, you're gonna get one.

Also I would love CR with Papyrus. ENTHUSIASM and theater dramatics would go well together I think.

Tell us about yourself: CST, SHE/HER
Character: Ren
Permissions: Empathy opt out
Tell us about them: She's a terrible dying child that comes from a post apocalyptic world. All she wants to do is hold hands with people and learn about every single ding dang person on this island. Would probably die for someone if they smile at her. She's childish, kind and scared of her own shadow, but does her best being the raccoon that she is. Also has a cat friend and would trade anything for a shiny rock or two.
Current plans: I'm always always game for everything! Positive/negative CR, search requests, playing games, flower crowning, cat doting, stealing someone's fork-sign her up.

Tell us about yourself: 30, he/him/his, perpetually exhausted, grocery store drone, lives in The South, big gay furry. if i dont tag you back for a week, it's not you it's me. im just so tired yall
Character: Yellowfang
Permissions: Yellowfang has some BULLSHIT CAT EMPATHY MAGIC that was literally never mentioned throughout the entire first arc but the Erins saw fit to give her in her Super Edition for some reason. Its a simple opt-out form if you don't want her being nosy and feelin your characters' physical pain.
Tell us about them: She's a feral cat from a society of feral cats that have an intense cat religion and sometimes actual magic. She used to be the cat equivalent of a cleric (receiving visions of the future, communing with the dead, and healing other cats with herbs) but in LifeAftr she's cut off from her ancestors and no longer receives visions from them. This has made her really salty considering she's from her death point and is obviously not in Cat Heaven or Cat Hell.
She's also super weirded out by all the Twolegs that can now speak perfect cat language but still say all their stupid Twoleg words. Yellowfang's slowly being introduced to concepts like "a backpack" and "planets" and is trying to distract herself from how upset she is over no longer having access to StarClan by putting these concepts to use.
Current plans:
I WANT:
- someone to alter her backpack so she can more easily open and close it
- someone to introduce her to writing
- her to meet the other cats on the island (you can decide if she can understand them or not, they're your characters)
- a small group of CR that she gives terrible cat names to (she's already named a few of you! keep your eyes peeled)
- positive cr
- negative cr
- for the love of god someone BRUSH HER
- someone to teach her to say FUCK

Character: Lillie (
Permissions: I should probably make one...It's not like she has any powers or anything but a general interaction one would be good probably...
Tell us about them: Lillie is a smol nervous child who just really wants everything to be alright, you know? She has a very uncooperative little pokefriend (Cosmog, aka Nebby!) who refuses to stay in the bag. You are 100% always free to say that Nebby has escaped and crashed into you if you need an excuse to start talking to Lilli because quite frankly it probably has and she's never far behind. I'm taking her from before her big personality shift, so she's still very timid right now.
Current plans:
- Get her settled in and find her a place to live!
- Make all the friends forever
- Get lost at least once

Character: Héctor
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Not at all happy to be yanked away and dumped on some island, but he's a good guy, he won't take it out on anyone else. It also helps that everyone else is in the same damn boat. Friendly and chatty, good with kids, the master at pretending Everything Is Fine.
Current plans: I don't really have any plans yet! I want all the CR and jesus christ maybe get him some better clothes.

Tell us about yourself: My time zone is EST and I currently work as a school custodian so the time I take to answer tags may fluctuate on occasion. I'm also fairly new to Dreamwith RP so if I make a mistake somewhere please let me know :D
Character: Troupe Master Grimm |
Permissions: Here. There is also a spoiler opt-out if you don't want to be spoiled for Hollow Knight, the Grimm Troupe DLC or both.
Tell us about them: The theatrical Master of the Grimm Troupe and one of the more rage-inducing boss battles of Hollow Knight. He has a flair for the dramatics and is basically a bug version of Dracula without being up to his eyeballs in Belmonts. It's also heavily implied Grimm knows a lot more of the world of Hollownest then he is letting on and has connections to nightmares. Many connections. Grimm Background DLC please Team Cherry.
He will be arriving in LifeAftr just before the Knight uses the Dream Nail on him to begin the Nightmare King battle. Grimm also has a child with the Knight called the Grimmchild but he'll have to talk to the Storyteller to bring that in.
Current plans: Grimm is new so I'd be happy to receive any sort of CR you'd like to bring to the table :D
Anything else: I don't know how to post gifs, but here is a super cute video for Yume Nikki.

There’s a lot of possibilities for dat good good CR and I’m really hype. Also I don’t mind spoilers!! I’m playing HK right now but I’m terrible at it so fffff. It’ll take me a million years to complete and Grimm interests me too much to keep things secret until I get to them.

Character: Lucas Miller,
Permissions: here!
Tell us about them: Lucas Miller is a nerdy scientist who once tried to resurrect his mother with the help of an insanely dangerous magical item called The Philosopher's Stone. Long story short, it sort of worked, but he almost turned the entire world to crystal and unleashed a whole bunch of angry ghosts from the afterlife in the process. Whoops? Anyway, Lucas is a weaselly little dweeb who is Very Tired, but doing his best to make up for the whole 'almost crystallizing the entire planet and also causing a ghostly jailbreak' thing.
He, uh. He might've also brought a horrible talking elevator in with him. Sorry about that, Lifeaftr.
Current plans: Settling in, trying to make sure that Magnus doesn't punch him across the entire island, having an existential crisis since he's an inventor with no access to technology apart from like... a hatchet, and a couple of rocks.

Tell us about yourself: She/her pronouns, theoretically on Eastern Standard Time but in practice a mess who does not have a consistent sleep schedule.
Character: Muffet at
Permissions: Right here on her journal.
Tell us about them: You'd think her main power is being a literal magic spider monster, but apparently it's being one of the only people here with actual common sense. A helpful, practical businesswoman, adapting to the island setting and doing her best to keep her fellow castaways alive through all this mess.
Current plans: Muffet is, as always, here to Mom Friend at everybody within reach, and is happy to help anyone in need of it. She's going to be helping out at the Denny a lot, so you're likely to encounter her there, and also has a couple projects related to information gathering and recording that she's currently working on.

Tell us about yourself: GMT so backtag forever, she/her
Character: Shion
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them:Shion was a naive elite child from a perfect city who got liberated by an overdramatic jerk, had an incident with a parasite bee which turned his hair white and his eyes red, learned about the Real World TM but before he could continue his journey of learning how everything was awful he got whisked away to a Horror Tower
And here has been interesting. As it stands Shion has come to the conclusion that he is probably an awful person despite trying hard not to be and that he is dangerous and will end up hurting those he cares about. He is generally friendly though, can pretend to be not a messed up puppy long enough to have a decent conversation. The last month has been spent mostly taking part in wildlife preservation. He loves plants and animals, will babble on about science forever if you let him and will share theories about what might be going on.
Current plans: He will definitely be finalising the clinic he and Hinata have been working on this month. Probably more science (what does happen if you lure a flustercluck into a centre of gravity?) He is always up for exploring and a new island will mean a lot to explore.

Tell us about yourself: I'm EST, she or they pronouns, slow tagger but getting better about it. i work with antiques and i like to cook, i have animals and i play a very limited selection of video games, so that's mostly what my plurk is about when it's not about tags. feel free to add me wherever!
Character: Taako
Permissions: here
Tell us about them: Taako is a flippant and dramatic elf wizard. he is a lazy coward who avoids most physical work and fighting, but he does run elf walmart with the help of his transmutation magic. though these days he is employing others to do some of the clerking in his stead, including but not limited to child labor. i will probably put up another store post soon, but of course things can also be handwaved! he is part of a horrible infestation of TAZ characters and stolen orphans camped in the woods in a kind of small shanty enclave.
Current plans: Always down for CR of any sort. Would love more negative CR in particular, as people on this island are just so weirdly nice, weird how that is, Taako is weirded out, someone please do something about that. Other plans? Maybe this is the month he blows up the mana pool.

Tell us about yourself: EST, she/her, and far as Dank Memes 2018, i gotta go with "absolute unit." other things i like include: dogs, vidya, pickles, autumn, sleeping, foxes, coffee, disney, cooking, that thing they do in regal cinemas where it's like a roller coaster ride before the movie, and key lime pie.
Character: princess zelda at this journal!
Permissions: permissions post here!
Tell us about them: zelda is a princess from a medieval wonderland, and just like her ancestors, she's supposed to be able to lock away the Big Bad, but she doesn't do a good job, and things end badly. otherwise, she's a science and technology nerd who means well and tries really, really hard.
Current plans: nothing yet, because she's brand new!! i'd love to just jump into this and have her meet everyone and get lots of CR wheezes

Character: Jowan (
Permissions: This is Jowan's permissions! He is 1. a spider and 2. has mind control venom he's bad at and 3. was previously magically lobotomised so lmk about whether any of those things are ok for you.
Tell us about them: Jowan is a minor character from the Mage Origin in the first Dragon Age game. He's whiny, self-centred, and deeply depressed although he's trying to do better since he poisoned an Arl and accidentally got a child possessed by a demon! Also he's CRAU from Ryslig so he is now a spidertaur. LifeAftr is going to honestly be a vacation for the poor dude.
Current plans: None, really! Just gotta get him out there cos I'm new!

also I reuse my replies for this every month. fight me
Character: Laurent,
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 is a snake. He will absolutely sell you out for one corn chip even if he's done nothing of the sort yet.
snakes mostly just wanna be left alone tbhANYWAY YES 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! Laurent fucked up some limbs recently doing tigershark rodeo (but he won, which is the important bit), so he'll be taking it easy this month. At least until the shiny new island ambushes me. :,)
Laurent will be MOVING from his usual place on Islet 1 Cottage 1 to somewhere in the forest compound, for a much-needed vacation! Some uh, Chocobro drama happened, and he needs some alone time. He'll be around Denny a lot, as well.

Character: Gladiolus Amicitia
Permissions: Basic Permissions he's nothing fancy.
Tell us about them:
Gladiolus Amicitia, Shield of the Chosen King. He's lived his entire life for duty and it's only now that he's been here for a couple of months that he's allowing himself to have things because he wants them for himself (ie: he's finally told his BFF he's in love with him).
Current plans:
More building and repairs! He's going to be building beds and making mattresses and gifting them out to people. Harrassing Ardyn, getting into trouble, y'know the norm.
Anything else: He really loves his friends. Even the Chocobo.

Character: CT/Agent Connecticut from Red vs Blue, this journal!
Tell us about them: CT's been here about a month and is adjusting...about as well as can be expected? She's a murdergame transplant (Airlocked CRAU), and while there she met and started dating Varric Tethras from Dragon Age. She was in Thedas before coming to LifeAftr and still misses Varric a lot.
Kirkwall, not so much...Current plans: I love both positive and negative CR - CT can be prickly and stubborn, and sometimes has trouble keeping her spirits up, but she's trying! And she always needs more friends. Current plans are mostly just to keep working on fixing up her shack on Islet 4 and meet new people - I'd love to have her get out and explore a bit, too.
CR hooks include anyone who can help with home sweet shack improvement/DIY stuff, anyone with a tie to her Airlocked buddies, anyone who looks like they might be from Thedas (hey elves what's up), anyone who can teach her to cook something besides fire-roasted bludroc because man that gets boring.

Character: Legion
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Legion is a robot from Mass Effect. For those who know canon, they're from their bad end, and are more than a little bitter about being betrayed and murdered. People on this island have been super nice to them though, which has helped quite a bit.
Current plans: Now that they've begun to see that not everyone here is out to get them, they'll be more willing to join searches and stuff. They also have a house they're fixing up, and would be willing to offer that service to others.
Aside from that, I'm interested in strengthening their current cr as well as meet new people.
Anything else: Nope!

Character: Pyrrha Nikos
Permissions: here It's all pretty usual.... I should probably make a more in-depth thing about her powers tho
Tell us about them: Pyrrha is a good, good girl who just wants the people she loves to be safe and happy, which sometimes includes everyone in the current world she is on. She happens to be a CRAU from the murdergame Airlocked, which she managed to survive, against all odds, and become both a space pirate, and something resembling a jedi. She has a broom that turns into a lightsaber, is what I'm saying. She'll Friend ya good.
Current plans: Pyrrha's still settling in on Islet 4, where she's living with her gf Nari. Gotta get used to this place, gotta meet new people, GOTTA EXPLORE! So she's definitely going to be checking out the new island when she can.
Basically good CR, bad CR, people she can befriend and try to help, people she can fight with or wanna see her lasersword and be inducted into the belief of The Flavor. Anything!!

Contact: Railerat on plurk, feel free to add me!
Tell us about yourself: He/Him/His, and EST but I have a complicated relationship with sleep, so who knows when I'm awake or not. Cool Raile fact: I'm legally dead at the moment. This isn't a meme or anything, it's an actual true fact about me. I've been legally dead since March 15th.
Character: Kaworu Nagisa
Permissions: No permissions!
Tell us about them: This is not the Shinji-centric, cryptic, omnipotent-and-omniscient seeming Kaworu you grew up on. Not yet, anyway. Right now, though, this is the Kaworu of the early Sadamoto manga. You may know him as the Kaworu who gave Shinji mouth-to-mouth (the "kiss"), or the Kaworu who killed a kitten. He has mere days of experience with being awake and alive, is indifferent to his own existence at BEST, and no one ever explained to him what a pervert was after that one time he walked into the girl's bathroom to talk to Asuka. His being human is a scam he is running very poorly, and honestly he's a pretty obnoxious and inhuman 'person.'
Current plans: Kaworu has no idea what he's doing, no interest in knowing what he's doing, and no plans to do anything with whatever he may learn. I'm just gonna let him blunder into things and annoy people (or endear himself to them?) as he goes, call it character development or something. Don't be afraid to let CR turn negative, I'm great with negative CR but positive CR might teach him to suck less at a faster rate, who knows.
Anything else: Manga don't give me much in the way of gifs, it's very sad.
Character: Foster van Denend
Permissions: Here! It also has an opt-out, which I prefer to know about so I don't accidentally trigger anyone. You can just scroll to the bottom for the pertinent warnings. Note: I WILL NOT TAG OUT TO YOU unless you have filled this out, because he's a very trigger heavy character.
Tell us about them: Foster is a nine-foot-tall bear-mushroom-horse-cow-man suffering from a combination of fae influence and pretty serious psychosis. In his home canon he was a necromancer with a progressive neurodegenerative condition who raised himself with an impossible moebius necromancer-and-undead soul loop. He stopped being undead ages ago and actually lost a chunk of his existing brain damage to Herbert West (the Reanimator) in his last game, but hasn't changed his behaviour at all, possibly because of all the fae magic and maladaptive personality bullshit. He has a lot of opinions about death and control and reality and so on, all of which he refuses to stop projecting on everybody else.
Current plans: Foster is radiating psychosis less intensely now that he's had time to cool off after Ziziphus, which means that it's much easier to talk to him. I don't really have any plans for him at the moment besides building on his existing CR, making new CR, that kind of thing. He's extremely weak to iron because of the fae changes to his soul, though, so the ore island might get interesting.
Anything else:
/wanders in halfway through the month like a champ
Contact:
Tell us about yourself: My timezone is EST, my pronouns are she/her and the Depression Wiggler has been keeping me down for like, a month now for some ungodly reason so here's me trying to punch that in the face. As of right now I'm very slow on tags but I will backtag into infinity.
Character: Commander Shepard
Permissions: right here!
Tell us about them: Shepard is a space marine that gave her life to save the galaxy from some giant mechanical squids and ended up here as a result. She's adjusted as much as a woman who is used to non-stop fighting can on an island that is (most of the time) rather safe, which means she's restless and antsy. Despite all that though she's managed to make some friends and even start to like some people
(coughLupcough)romantically. Which has been quite a bizarre thing for her in all honesty.Current plans: Honestly my current plans are to get my ass back in gear with tags in general but I would love love love more CR! As well as more search requests. Get my girl out of the house, she's trying to be a hermit.
Anything else: I don't really got anything to post in here other than I love you all, thank you for your patience, and a special shoutout to the mods for being wonderful friends and for being so awesome in making this game fun for everyone. (I was feeling a bit gay and also expect no one to see this soooo shhhhhh)
