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!

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!

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!

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.

Hello! CR with Guzma would be fun (I guess Grimm could be considered a Bug/Fire mix hahah) and he'd be interested in meeting Guzma's Pokemon too! I'm actually canon blind to Ōkami - I've seen a bit of the gameplay/story but haven't personally played it - but if Ammy can sense/tell that Grimm is Hollow Knight's God of nightmares then she is free too! It'd be interesting since it's not something that really comes up.

And thank you for letting me know about your preference of being fine with spoilers :D Hollow Knight certainly is a hard game and Grimm is fairly infamous for having two very hard boss battles. They're over here if you're curious. It's fun! Hahahah...

I mean, you're not....wrong...technically?? And Guzma would be more than happy to show off his two pokemon. He comes with Golisopod and Ariados, if you're familiar with those two.

And I highly recommend playing Okami (get the HD version if you can) - it's a gorgeous game with a beautiful art style, outstanding music, and a wonderful story. Plus the gameplay is relatively simple and very fun. All you really need to know about Ammy though is she's the Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu and she loves painting and does magic via painting as well. :B But it'd be really interesting to see the two gods interact, since they come from such distant parts of the so called good/bad spectrum. Though if Grimm is a chill guy, Ammy will respect him as she does any and every other god.

I've actually seen those two fights. xD;; I got interested in Grimm's character when you apped and from my own light playing of Hollow Knight so I looked them up. I am ready for hell whenever I get there 8Db

All his boss battle music is AWESOME and I may use it in a D&D session battle sometime.

I am familiar with those two! I've been getting back into Pokemon lately although work is making my 100% run go slowly.

I'll look into it :) What I've seen of it does look like a lot of fun and I'm a sucker for games with a good OST. As for Grimm he's fairly chill? He appears to be more interested in running his Troupe and keeping his ritual going rather then advertising he's a God. And Grimm's pretty up-front and nice about involving people in a sketchy ritual, so there's that haha. So I think it'll be interesting CR, if kind of strange in the beginning.

His fights are a nightmare and one of the many reasons I know I'll never be able to do a no-damage run of Hollow Knight DX And yes, his themes are amazing but I love pretty much all of Hollow Knight's OST. It's so pretty and a good source of nightmare fuel (Deepnest why)

[mamaterasu]

Ahhh yes, same. 8C idk if you're familiar with Nuzlocke, but I've done a few and am making an attempt at doing one for Ultra Moon but work keeps me away from it most times, as well as other things/games.

The OST is gorgeous (and very long), especially if you like traditional Japanese music. I'm pretty sure you can find it on youtube easy, but yes. I am much the same - a game with a good sountrack draws me in a whole lot. It's why I like Hollow Knight, Okami, and other games similar to them. Even the pokemon games are really upping their game in their music, too. I'm very pleased. |Db BUT YES, I am so glad. Ammy will definitely side-eye him at first, thn probably be nice to him afterwards, and GOOD GOOD GOOD. Ammy acts way more like a wolf/friendly dog than a god, so they have that in common, too. It's going to be a very interesting friendship, methinks.

oh god I can only dream of a no damage HK run ffff. I've died so many times already /STARES INTO THE VOID. Good luck, though!! AND I HAVE HEARD HORRORS OF DEEPNEST, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS OTHER THAN AGONY AND PAIN AND TERROR.
