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.

Player: Birb!
Contact: TheBirdsAndBees || Birb#0593 @ Discord
Tell us about yourself: She/her, GMT+10. Your friendly neighborhood headmod who loves spreadsheets way more than she should. I have a 24 hour, 7 day a week job, so expect to see me about most hours! Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you have a question, or just want to chat!

Character: =) @ achievementhunter and Barry Bluejeans @ youfoundher
Permissions: Chara has an Opt-out if you require it, otherwise I tend to doublecheck with new CR before adding anything related to cws!

Tell us about them:

CHARA hails from a tiny, relatively inconsequential game by the name of Undertale; 11-13 going on 80, they're a tad jaded and bitter due to how things in their life have gone down. Sharp-tongued, paranoid, and constantly distrustful, they're pretty much what you'd expect a kid to be like a few years out of an eternal timeloop of kill or be killed. They're also a little murdery-- but they're getting better!

CR with them can be a little slow burn, but once they lose their sense of stranger danger, Chara's a witty little gremlin with a love of memes and pranks- and now they'll die for you.


BARRY BLUEJEANS comes from another super small fandom called The Adventure Zone. A scientist with a PDH in Fantasy Bullshit, Barold's also a self-turned lich and a tad forgetful "swordsman"- the forgetfulness is not really his fault, I swear. He's a little out of his element when it comes to socializing and making new friends, but his heart's in the right place.

Also ask him about his super hot elf girlfriend.

Current plans:

CHARA: Hoo boy, well there's the event coming up! I'm looking forward to plotting and planning things when the full info for that is released around the 10th. In the meantime, the intro log will have Chara jumping back into action- I haven't decided if I'll be doing a top-level, but I am super keen to tag out here there and everywhere for both postive and negative CR, so let me know if/when you want this kid!

BAROLD: will be a tad more lowkey than Chara, as I get them back up to speed with tagging. I intend to opt-out of the event with him so that he can help deal with... whatever people opting out of the event will be dealing with. =) Again, if you'd like some CR with this boy, feel free to hmu!


Anything else:

[counterblows]

hooray for yellow pals

[promiselisting]

eyyyyy fingerguns

time to roll through here and start/re-start things? idk

also I've had a lot of time to Think Lately (hooray boring data entry jobs) and I'm belatedly realizing that except for like her. Abilities and things. Futaba and Chara would probably get along or at least understand each other better than Aster. Aster bless her heart tries way too hard and is way too power of friendship meanwhile Futaba'd look at 90% of Chara's everything and be like "that scans."

idk which is more interesting for you though. Futaba would prolly squint at Barry a bit (again) because he is very Adult-Shaped from what I can tell but at the same time Futaba's mom basically had a PhD in Personaverse Fantasy Bullshit and she's really invested in her mom's research on the whole so that could be a fun potential point of connection. Or anything else you can think of.

Don't ask me why I've thought so much about this and my reply here is longer than like all my others combined I don't. Even. Know.
