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.

Player: Raile
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 braceforimpact
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 cacoethes_mori
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:
