OOC INTRO ( SEPTEMBER )
OOC INTRO: SEPTEMBER
State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! August was a dark time for us all - our character death tally hit new records with the latest event - but that doesn't mean you can't turn this around! You all clearly have a great deal that's been repressed and hidden. Doesn't it feel so much better to have that all out in the open?
...well, we thought so.
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 September 4th. Until then, a few quick points:
1. Umui. The island of Umui is still present in the archipelago, and has shown no sign of departing anytime soon. There are still some pockets of exploration to be had, and certain characters don't seem to want to say goodbye to ARUM-25 just yet. You might also be interested in looking over the information players have helped consolidate in regards to what is this island's...deal, exactly.In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of August - 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!
1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event of your character's death, to let us know so we can account for it. Don't forget to request the removal of your death penalty!
3. New Island. On September 10th, the fourth island the Storyteller promised will be making its debut! This one, if you recall, is laden with a great deal of animals, though the risks and dangers of this new land are not yet known. You can expect more information on what the latest island will entail soon!
Go ahead and use the template below if you haven't introduced yourself already!

Contact:
Tell us about yourself: CST, soon to be EST as I go back to school, she/her; I’m an art student so that can occasionally have an effect on my schedule, but I check plurk/the game discord pretty frequently!
Character: Ginko (
Permissions: Ginko here! Ginko’s canon backstory deals with a lot of body horror and themes of mental illness/suicide/child abuse, and his past game has EVEN MORE body horror plus a lot of gore and cannibalism so uh… letting me know if you’d like to avoid any of that would be appreciated.
Erika here! The big thing with Erika is that she can be pretty abrasive and likes to solve problems with violence/threats thereof, so!! Just tell me if that’s an issue.
Tell us about them: Ginko is a very tired magic pest control guy from a really low-key horror anime, who then got deposited into a way less low-key horror game and is now a furry rock-covered monster. He used to have to eat people, but now he does not, and it’s great! He is still, however, very tired pretty much all the time. He’s been trying to help with first aid and the like whenever he can and also very gradually inserting himself into the business of everyone he meets, because what the fuck is minding your own business and leaving other people alone, he’s never heard of it.
Erika is an OC from the same urban fantasy story as Foster van Denend and Chip Abaroa; she’s a big gay werewolf who likes fashion and punches people for fun and profit! She refers to herself as Chip’s aunt because “first cousin once removed” takes too long, but the point is that their dad is her cousin, and she is extremely protective of them. She’s not exactly a responsible guardian figure, but she’s doing her best, arguably. Her main focus has been and still is looking after Chip, though she’s been branching out some to work on exploring and stuff more and meeting people. Most full moons she can be found tearing around Enso as a bear-sized hyena-wolf-beast.
Current plans: Positive CR is always appreciated, and he particularly has a soft spot for kids and teenagers. Negative CR is also very welcome, though somewhat harder to get; Ginko is often too forgiving for his own good (less so now than before Ryslig), so it’ll generally take either a string of Bad Experiences or one that just happens to hit his exact sore points pretty hard to get him to actually dislike someone. Other people disliking him, though, is perfectly welcome and honestly delightful. He’ll be continuing to look into medical stuff and otherwise get into people’s business.
Erika is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to gain negative CR with, partly because she doesn’t really know how to de-escalate and likes to Fite, so things can get aggressive fast with her. That said, though, she can be perfectly personable and friendly in conversations that don’t blow up, even if her sense of humor can still be kind of rude. She would love to have more people to talk fashion/makeup/etc with, and also to talk to more ladies because what can she say, women are Good.
