OOC INTRO: OCTOBER

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! September brought with it a new island, and along with it the promise of plenty. You've all been working awfully hard to renovate Ensō - but as much as you've done, there's still lots more to do!

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 October 4th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Umui. The island of Umui is still present in the archipelago...though we can't say how much longer it will last. ARUM-25 has started to remember something, and once the Storyteller returns...well, who knows what will happen!

2. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan is still present in the archipelago as well! Characters, new and old, are welcome to sign up for tasks and rewards, as well as propose tasks and rewards of their own if it suits them.

3. Storyteller's Absence. As of October 4th, the same day as this month's intro log, the Storyteller will be departing to seek out new islands for your exploration. The consequences of this absence are yet to be seen...but bear in mind, that from October 4th onward, IC contact threads with the Storyteller and Item Requests will be temporarily unavailable. We will let you know as to the date of their return. However, if you need some vital backdated, just let us know!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of October - 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.

[determinist]

Player: Marti
Contact: Plurk: texelations | Discord: texelations#2055
Tell us about yourself: EST, she/her
Character: The Director determinist
Permissions: Here! This character's originating canon, and his background in particular, deals with some dark subjects, so you may want to check this out.

Tell us about them: Red vs. Blue is a comedy webseries that eventually reveals some heavy backstory details about the main characters and moves in a bit more of a serious direction. This character in particular is a bit of a walking spoiler, which is why I'm avoiding telling too much about him here, but the nature of RP is that people get spoiled for canons they're unfamiliar with. For this reason I won't be avoiding his name or background details in threads, unless you opt out at his permissions post.

What I will say about him is that this character is someone who can't let go of the past. He has a lot of things to atone for and make right to characters who were here before him, and I'd like to try to do a bit of a redemption arc with him.

Current plans: Right now I'm working on him getting used to realizing he's still alive and still in a depression. Circumstances will hopefully lead to him pulling out of it a bit, especially if other characters reach out to him.

Anything else:

[uptightness]

They'll need to run in to each other again >>

[determinist]

Definitely! Now that we know the plot I'm thinking he might send her a short message to let her know her mother has arrived on the island (with that actually being a ghost, of course).

[tenthstreetbred]

Can't let go of the past? Full of ~regret~? Space marine or space marine adjacent?

Sign me up! I'd love to get some CR with you! :>

[determinist]

Excellent! Now that we know the plot I'll likely have him see his wife as his 'ghost', so that might afford some opportunities for CR.

[tenthstreetbred]

Ohhhh yes that sounds awesome!! Count me in!

[crystallying]

'Can't let go of the past but trying to redeem themselves', you say? They could practically start a support group!

[determinist]

They probably should! This month's plot will definitely afford some opportunities for him to decide to let go in the future, so we'll see what happens.
