OOC INTRO: DECEMBER

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! November saw a restoration of status quo, (relatively, in any case), and an introduction of the newest island to the archipelago, Maati. Aside from the tumultuous beginning, a holdover from the events of October, it has all in all been a rather peaceable month, right?

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

1. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan is still present in the archipelago. 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.

2. Maati. The island of Maati arrived in the archipelago last month. As we mentioned earlier, the event scheduled for Maati has been pushed back to occur mid-December. Those new to the game still have until December 10th to sign up for this new event. Please note: as this event includes a chance of death, we will not be allocating anyone into the event unless they opt in. For those who have not opted in, no worries - we'll have something for you to do as well!

3. New Mod. Lastly and most importantly, we are very pleased to announce that we have a new addition to our mod team! As our workload has increased, we want to continue giving our lovely playerbase the time and focus that you all deserve. Thus, we would like you to extend a very warm welcome to Ruka (player of the Knight at lightlessfuture), who has agreed to join the LifeAftr mod team. You've already seen her chipping in here and there - she was the lovely contributor to the illustrations on the Search Requests page, as well as the sigils corresponding to Maati. She'll be helping us with metaplot and NPCs, as well as general maintenance!

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

Tell us about yourself: Hm, let's see, I am a shy extrovert who'll likely be hiding behind someone for a few weeks nbd. I live on the east coast of the US, so that makes EST a Thing. I prefer to be referred to with she/her, though I will also answer to HEY YOU WITH THE FACE if need be. I also swear like the sailor's granddaughter that I am, so apologies in advance!
Also: I HAVE TO MANY MEMES TO LIST HERE.

Character: Noctis Lucis Caelum (

warpstriking) and Allura (

diplomacycheck)
Permissions: They're still quite literally under construction but they'll eventually be here for Noctis, and here for Allura. (I have a problem and it's making everything pretty.)
Tell us about them: Noctis is a tired young man who feels a Lot of things and wants to help others. This gets him in way over his head. He's also a nerd; don't let the goth rock band look fool you. (spoilers: a lot of goths are nerds, le gasp.) He's also the last of his royal line, so... yay?
Allura is also the last of her royal line but has not wandered nearly as much as the other I'm bringing in. She loves to help others and will do whatever it takes to help those in need. I have a type and I realize this.
Current plans: Exploration and settling in until the event, mostly! For both of them. Also catching up with friends and family who are already here and have been for a while. (Joke's on you, Keith. She'll remember that conversation.)
Anything else: JOKE'S ON YOU I USED A GIF ALREADY-

Well, shit.

so how about that stray cat you befriended in dreamland, Allura.

or idk wherever you want to start the CR-ening

Allura just collects all the cats (except Noctis).

She's accepted this lot in life.

Honestly I have. No idea how things will go once Futaba realizes what happened was not an elaborate dream of some kind.

Allura is also kind of adult-shaped at times now that I think about it which might make things tricky? idk basically I could see this going a lot of ways and Futaba's a lot more on edge without an Akiren nearby so we'll. See? We'll see.

Either way I'm lookin forward to it.

Wow excuse she may be 10,000+ years old but she's still a teenager!!

inb4 Ann drags her over for slumber party shenanigans and they rope Futaba into it.

Okay but adult-shaped has more to do with how people act than how old people actually are =~=

THE SLUMBER PARTY WILL HELP LOTS THOUGH I THINK. Also at some point Futaba and Allura could bond over Idolizing That One Parent to Probably Unhealthy Degrees.

Hello! I also play emo aesthetic royalty, but that’s besides the point, my real reason for replying is to say how much I identify with that ffxiv meme XD

I’m a newb still on the free trial (I only recently hit the levelcap), I felt that in my heart.

Haha, I see.

And oh no. Oh no, come here to my mentor arms. /pet (I may have been playing since the beta on PS3 haha)

Don't listen to Star, Laurent is not emo aesthetic he's just an asshole. He stabbed Gladdy in the gut for trying to give him a hug :|

(I kid, Star is amazing, love her.)

He has (well he had, then clothes shortages) the emo aesthetic!! you can dress in all black AND be an asshole!

Sera's right, actually. My character looks tangentially emo but you should approach with caution, and I hope that the Chocobros warn Noct of the Stabby Neighbour House Feat. Three Horses.

Well, as someone who is actually a goth irl... I feel like I need more popcorn.

oh there will be warnings. About Laurent *and* the horses okay. Noct whatever happens, do not touch the blonde. Announce yourself before you get within 10 feet. Or better yet? don't talk to him at all.

as for the horses? only one of them bites but one's new too.

Yeah.... their CR is definitely popcorn worthy. :,D

(no subject)

Wow. Calling them out on their shit already? Le gasp! (Nah, I figured; hence the laughter.)

I do hope they warn Noctis for that, though. Geez. xD

BELATEDLY, /cries

I'm super not an mmorpg/games in general person myself so I'm still trying to get the hang of the shifting camera..... and turning corners properly in a dungeon...... but I'm having fun! An Established friend like yourself got me into ffxiv, haha

I'm a WHM main currently!

don't think he's forgotten that conversation, allura

he remembers.

She highly doubted he would forget. A promise is a promise, after all.

(Want me to do a custom top level option for that conversation when the IC intro goes up?)

Oh, absolutely. It can only go well!

Superbly well. Especially since she's likely to also wake up with a tattoo at some point (I'm evil).

hello and welcome to the game!! wash here has some pretty firm cr with a couple of the voltrons so if that interests you he would be INTERESTED IN MEETING THIS ALIEN PRINCESS :>

Is this a trick question? Because I am ALWAYS DOWN FOR MORE AND VARIED CR.

GOOD CAUSE I HAVE THREE CHARACTERS AND ALL THREE WILL BE COMING FOR U

OH BOY OH BOY

YEET

BUT THAT'S HER JOB
