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!

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.

Futaba Sakura

[promiselisting]

Character: Futaba Sakura (promiselisting)
Permissions: Permissions Post for her Support abilities and also an opt-out for any of her backstory CWs
Tell us about them: Prodigy hacker and professional menace. Has moderate authority problems, significant anxiety issues, and trust issues out the wazoo. And as bad as she is now? She's a lot better than she was. On that note: please mind the content warnings in her history section/permissions post; she's been through a lot. Oh, she might also be some kind of anarchist crime-fighting vigilante too. Something like that.
Current plans: Futaba is. Going to be in for an interesting arrival. Ann is here, but she's the only one, so Futaba will probably stick to her a fair bit at first. And by stick to I mean "physically be hiding behind." But ideally I'd like for her to get other people that she feels safe around sooner rather than later. Just a heads up though that the more stern/lawful and generally adult-shaped a person is (and that has more to do with how old they act not how old they are), the trickier that will be, though not impossible. I'm definitely going to be throwing her at the event, too!

Long term I'm going to need to work on finding a niche for her, because she's so tech obsessed and that. Isn't a thing here. In any case, COME AT ME. Also in case you missed me mentioning it before, Futaba will not be remembering her previous stay at LifeAftr. For all intents and purposes I'm starting fresh.

Anything else: I said it on her permissions post but I'm going to say it here too:

Futaba can be sarcastic, opinionated, blunt, and even rude, and has a tendency to be outspoken/less than careful with her opinions, particularly after she's more comfortable with a group. These are entirely IC opinions/statements and are not meant to reflect anything more than that. I've previously had problems with people taking Futaba's IC statements far too seriously/personally on an OOC level, so if you ever have any concerns in that regard please talk to me first and I'd be happy to talk things out/explain why she's doing or saying what she is

OKAY with that out of the way:
