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?

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: Michelle
Contact: sweetstacks, sweetstacks#0827 on Discord.
Tell us about yourself: PST, she/her, trying to find a new job because Work Is Hell. I dab a lot and post sweet memes and fanart.
Character: Mira, antepone and Shiro, galrarm.
Permissions: Mira, who has empathy permissions. Shiro.
Tell us about them:

MIRA is a girl in her super early twenties who comes from Washington state. She grew up in France, and later moved to the states. Her world is pretty damn shitty in that it sees people with abilities as a threat; therefore, it works to sort of "poison" people's minds, but only those without powers. In spite of all this, Mira reminds kind and caring, even if she has trust issues and refuses to talk about her problems. She's willing to take on others' burdens, though, and she internalizes. A lot. Ever since coming to LifeAftr, though, she's gotten more paranoid and is trying to teach herself to distance herself from people she cares about, just enough that she won't be devastated when they leave. It's not working, though. Whoops. She also has a corgi and a cat, so come play with them! For the event, she's got an orange mark.

SHIRO is pretty recently arrived. He's a soldier and has been through a ton of shit including: Being a gladiator! Being experimented on! Having his arm removed and replaced with an alien prosthetic! Nearly dying several times! Eating shit in each season opening! Needless to say, all of this has built up and he has a significant amount of trauma. But it's fine. Shiro is still compassionate and strives to make everyone around him feel comfortable. He's also a natural leader and values teamwork. In LifeAftr, he's had to deal with the apparition of his ex-boyfriend. He's also trying to keep his feelings for Keith on the down low, but that's. Not really working. Oops. For the event, Shiro has a purple mark.

Current plans: Let's do some search requests! Shiro is a lot more durable than Mira and can handle longer/more intense searches, but I'm more than willing to push Mira past her limits. Aside from that, I'm not really sure what I have planned. I'm just winging it, fam.
