OOC INTRO ( JANUARY )
OOC INTRO: JANUARY

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! December was a month of tribulations and Trials, many of them literal. The true purpose of the newest island to the archipelago, Maati, was revealed, and you all faced challenges tailored to each of you. Some of you succeeded! And some of you did not.
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 January 5th. Until then, a few quick points:
1. Nuidan. The island of Nuidan will be disappearing from the archipelago by January 10th. There's still time to sign up for backdated tasks and rewards before the island is no longer accessible!In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of January - 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!
2. Maati. The island of Maati is still present in the archipelago. Those of you who opted in to last month's event should let us know if they succeeded or failed, so that they may be rewarded accordingly! Remember, also, to let us know if your character used up all their deaths, and must face a penalty.
Go ahead and use the template below if you haven't introduced yourself already!

Say Hello With This Handy Dandy Template!

Feel free to add me!
Tell us about yourself: Hi! I'm Daisy. New here and excited to be in game. I'm in Massachusetts. So eastern time zone (GMT-5, and GMT-4 when daylight time hits). I'm usually around and about evenings and weekends.
Character: Alfor - Voltron: Legendary Defender -
Permissions: None at the moment.
Tell us about them: Alfor is the King of Altea and original Red Paladin of Voltron. He's still very much in his swashbuckling-and-saving-the-universe phase -- but his optimism is taking a big hit with arriving here and finding out where his future is headed so. He's got some adjusting to do. But generally he's gregarious and outgoing, thinks he's charming, sometimes actually is, leaps and then looks more often than he wants to admit. His application is here for more info.
Current plans: Alfor is brand new! He has some settling in and wrapping his head around his daughter being an adult and the horrific future he's headed for to do. So. He will need friends. And exploring pals, because he's not the sitting still type. But really I'm up for anything. Always up for negative CR too.
Anything else:

Tell us about yourself: CST, she/her. My plurk is mostly rp related stuff + some cats.
Character: Ren
Permissions: empathy eyyy new form, please fill it out!
Tell us about them: She's a sick little lab experiment that comes from a post apocalyptic world where humanity is like super dead. All she wants to do is hold hands with people and learn about every single ding dang person. Would die for someone if they smile at her. She's childish, kind and scared of her own shadow, but does her best being a raccoon. Does some casual breaking at entering, likes playing baseball and hide and seek, will drag you into random games, loves treasure hunting which is really just garbage collecting. Don't be scared if she's in ur trash. Really she's just hanging out. Come be a dingus with her. Also has [2] cat friends and would trade anything for a shiny rock or two. i'm lazy and gotta update it still but u know.
Current plans: Nothing much! Positive, negative, whatever cr is all good. Let her drag ur character into shenanigans. She survived her trial and is feeling pretty confident in herself. She might start watching people fight and try to pick up on some self defense things lowkey style. Also monsters and mana stuff. She's just all over the place.

alex | kravitz and beau
Contact:
Tell us about yourself: She/Her, I'm EST, and I'm a fairly slow tagger; when I'm doing well I hit stuff every 2-3 days but I'm still recovering from the holidays so "within the week" is where I'm making attempts. I tag basically every day though so if you need something done faster, I'm happy to oblige.
Character: Kravitz (
Permissions: Kravitz which I oblige people to please please please read and fill out if necessary, and Beau.
Tell us about them:
Kravitz is a half elf ex-Grim Reaper, only ex because he's stuck here and not undead and that's been difficult to adjust to after a thousand years otherwise. He's been around about eight months now and that's starting to mess with him. He's a little uptight, a little concerned, a little too nosed into everyone's business. Also, snappy dresser.
Beau is a DND styled Monk of an order known as the Cobalt Soul, and also just a huge mess. She's gay, she drinks, she'll kick your ass for fun. Possibly too abrasive but doing her... no, she's not doing her best. Sometimes a do-gooder, mostly wants an excuse to kill a guy.
Current plans: Hey those trials sucked huh? For Kravitz, he's doing... alright? He's alright. Those trials were a callout post but He Could Be Worse. Beau is a little more pissed about what she endured and a bit more touchy. Kravitz is also going to try and use this month to contact the Storyteller, because he's beginning to get a liiiiittle worried about what the hell is going on around here. Also, totally up for search reqs with them both anytime! I'd love to get them out there.

Tell us about yourself: EST -5 GMT, He, him, his.
Character:
Keith Kogane
Dirk Strider
Permissions:
Keith's Permissions
Dirk's Permissions
Tell us about them:
So, Dirk first. Dirk is a seemingly cool, unflappable guy and raise your hand if you don't actually believe that or saw him lose it a little on the tdm. Dirk is actually a guy who doesn't really like himself and bases all the things he wants to be off of his legendary ancestor. He's smart, witty, and gets things done. Unless they're real problems. You know...social problems. But if you need soda he can hook you up with some orange soda. Take it. He doesn't want it. Seriously just take it.
Keith is somewhat impatient but learning the full value of it even if that trial scarred a few years off his life. He's always willing to help out. He is the no fun police when it comes to the truly ridiculous but he does know how to have fun. Just as the cat herder of the Voltron crew he has to draw the line. Anyway you'll find he's there when it counts.
Current plans:
Dirk I'm looking to get him settled in. He's new and not all that jazzed by this bullshit.
Keith will be looking to help out new people, keep an eye on what's going on, and deepen existing current cr as well as make new cr!

Tell us about yourself: She/her pronouns, typically awake between 11am and 3am Central time, though this can vary.
Character: Legion
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: This loveable robot happens to come from a bad end version of the Rannoch storyline, the one in which the Geth were destroyed. For those who are canonblind, this means that they're the last of their kind. They also learned a while back that in their timeline they're probably the last machine entirely, so...
Current plans: Not really sure about plans. Want to increase activity, do more stuff with Geth language lessons, and do some stuff involving their history and connection to the agricultural unit.
Anything else: I'm too lazy to bother with posting a gif.

Contact: rukafais on plurk! I talk about whatever catches my fancy so if you're the type of person who doesn't like a lot of chatter on your timeline I am probably not a good fit because i have a billion projects going on at any one time.
Tell us about yourself: I live in Australia so I'm awake at weird times for the rest of you. I'm also one quarter of your friendly neighbourhood mod team! If I didn't tag you back I likely just fucked up or something, so poke me if there's stuff you want to continue, I'm a scatterbrain. I take she/her, he/him and they/them pronouns.
Character: The Knight
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: A tired bug void child who's gone through a lot lately, mostly involving their castmates. Struggling with emotions, but getting better at handling them.
Current plans: I'm wide open for planning! The Knight's always happy to help or fight things, so if you need a fightchild or an assistant they're ready to go.
My most urgent thing, though, is LET'S GET A FORGE. DO YOU WANT TO DO MAINTENANCE? WILL YOU GRUDGINGLY DO MAINTENANCE? PLEASE HELP THIS TINY BUG DO THINGS.
Anything else: UHHHHHHHHHHHH take this gif.

I can tag a bit slow sometimes but I try not to let them get over a week old. If I'm taking too long just give me a shout or feel free to drop the thread!
Character: Lillie (
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: A runaway child with a stolen Cosmog and a mission. After living with Guzma for a few months and surviving some harrowing situations (like hanahaki hell), she's a LOT braver and more confident than she's ever been. Although she still struggles to apply her new emotional strength from time to time, Lillie and Nebby both have matured a lot in a short period of time.
Current plans: Still want to continue getting her out there and having her form bonds with more people! All kinds of CR are welcome. She's scheduled to have her first (sort of mock) pokemon battle sometime in January, which will be a big deal for her. If you want/need to find her, she can often be found at the Denny with fresh water to share or in her shared shack with Guzma on islet 3.
Character: Gobbet (
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: A young ork, and a criminal mercenary operative, which is a fancy set of words for "Shadowrunner". Having made her living stealing, killing, and generally just by being willing to do illegal shit, Gobbet is way more relaxed and chill as a person than she probably should be. She has shady morals, a strong desire to survive, and an intense love of food. Also she's just a trashfire garbage child and I love her, and I hope you will too.
Current plans: Just gotta get her settled, find her a place to live, and start making contacts - what's a Runner without a team? We'll see what the intro event brings o9

Tell us about yourself: GMT+10 she/her! My schedule is a bit all over the place and I'm just getting back into the swing of things after a few months focusing on modwork, so please bear with me!
Character: Chara
Permissions: N/A!
Tell us about them:
CHARA is of Undertale origins, with a side of CRAU under their belt. They're not the happiest child about the place, but they're slowly becoming more trusting of people and are less liable to see every little mistake as a reason to hate you, so that's good!
BARRY is from a totally niche canon called The Adventure Zone that you've probably never heard of, no sir. A total dork who loves his girlfriend and may actually also be a super powerful lich, he's a nice guy once you get past the fact that he has a denim fetish.
Current plans:
For both my beans, I'm looking forward to throwing them back into things as best I can- Chara will be backtagging last month's event whilst Barold over here will likely be out and about the most during the intro- and I have a few potential plans for some fun stuff with Chara later this month but...we'll see...
Mostly, I'm just looking to be where people want me, so if you have plans or just want to grab at my awful slow self, please do!

Tell us about yourself: Hi! I'm in GMT+8, she/her, currently in college! However my wrists are chronically hecked up and so I'm a slow, slow tagger. (I ALSO DROP THREADS A LOT IT’S NOT YOU ITS ME) :( I'm in a bunch of fandoms but as luck would have it I play from the one no one knows. lol.
also I reuse my replies for this every month. fight me
Character: Laurent,
Permissions: bam
Tell us about them:
Laurent comes from Captive Prince, a medieval political intrigue series! Which is basically also a BL. I should probably have said that first, huh. He's affectionately referred to as a snake, thanks to his quirky personality traits of stabbing men in the first tagback (sorry Gladio) and general refusal to make friends. Laurent will absolutely sell you out for one corn chip even if he's done nothing of the sort yet. Currently comes with a big dog
boyfriend fianceh u s b a n d (oh my god they're married) named Damen.This version of Laurent is a CRAU from the Madoka-inspired game soulgemmed, and comes with magic (and uh. other Madoka-related complications.)
He also comes with
a horse!two horses, three if you count his husband's. Uh, some things have changed in the last few months.Current plans:
I have no plans with him this month. I'm probably just focusing on getting back on the tag train, getting some new CR, and catching up with his old!
Laurent is (still) currently a hunter by trade and part-times at Denny. He lives near the FFXV bros on islet 1.

Character: Lydia
Permissions: N/A
Tell us about them: Former (now) lich with a fleshy body that she hasn't had in thousands of years. A manipulative piece of garbage with a high fashion aesthetic. Illusion and necromanctic wizard. SHE'S KIND OF A VILLAIN, SORRY.
Current plans: Any positive CR would be cool since she would try to be on her best behavior since she's all fleshy now. Uhhh. Really, though, I'd also love fashion or aesthetic garbage with her, too. Heck, anything, she's a nerd.
Anything else: I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, AAAAA.

Character: Asgoree Dreemurr /
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Asgore is a big sad monster king, who has actually kinda stepped away from the king thing. He's CRAU'd from a murdergame, so most of his plans for the future revolve around returning to his castmates there. As far as here goes, he's working on cultivating a variety of crops around his house, and trying very hard to seem like he's okay all the time.
Currently, he's blind as the result of a death penalty; that'll expire mid-January.
Current plans: Asgore is currently just waiting out his death penalty, but once that's done, I'd love to get him out some more! He's probably going to look into providing Denny with his extra tea once his recently-acquired tea plants are ready for harvesting. Nuidan's disappearance will probably also give him a push to return to Maati, for the sole purpose of collecting seeds from any useful native plants.
Anything else: I'M AT WORK I DON'T HAVE GIF ACCESS

Character: Pyrrha Nikos | RWBY | This journal!
Permissions: Right here!
Tell us about them: Pyrrha's a good, good girl who wants to help people and has never done a bad thing in her life. Originally, she hailed from the world of Remnant, which she accidentally left in a mess after accidentally killing a robot. Then she was kidnapped and taken to an alternate universe in the future where she participated in a space murdergame called Airlocked. (
Current plans: ...That being said, her girlfriend just disappeared, (There's a brand new post about that right here) and she's still recoiling a little from the Trials last month. Right now, I'm looking for more positive CR so Pyrrha can stop stewing by herself, and even negative CR if you don't like someone who will always offer to help because the trials taught her nothing.
Currently, she's looking after Nari's clinic. Just keeping it tidy and protecting it from thieves and stuff. Come talk to her there, or fight her. Whichever.
Anything else:

Contact:
Tell us about yourself: GMT+1 timezone, she/her. Yells about cartoons, magical girls, and Kamen Rider a lot. May or may not ever actually sleep. It has been [0] days since Rem has cried about robots/bugs/dumb Spider-Man villains no one cares about.

Permissions: just for spoilers and stuff
Tell us about them: The bigger version of that one little bug friend running around the place. Tall, tired, and sad. They're really only just learning how to feelings again, but they're getting better at actually communicating, which is a start. It's tough to be a vessel for a plague.
Current plans: There's the constant quest to get this bug adopted by everyone, because please give them better family. Also just. People to introduce them to basic concepts. Newt is teaching them about fun, it's great. More of that. Teach them how to Person.

Character: Lance (Lonce) from Voltron: Legendary Defender & Lunafreya "Luna" Nox Fleuret from Final Fantasy XV
Permissions: There are generic ones on their journals, but they don't need anything specific.
Tell us about them:
Lance has been around the islands for a little bit, now, if you take away his month-ish disappearance. He's got a cow, DND, and little regard for his own well-being. He's also kind of an unmitigated disaster/trainwreck/mess/whatever term you want to use. He will never live down have a mental breakdown on the rock over hot men, probably.
Lunafreya is new! She's Noctis' fiancee, Oracle, and all around "woman who deserved better". She's also, spoilers, fucking dead. Whoops! Lunafreya is actually from post-game, to boot, so she knows all the juicy FFXV spoilers. As for what she's actually like as a person - she's kind, stubborn, and needs to put herself first more, Jesus.
Current plans: I am looking for any and all kinds of CR for both of them! I am not picky and just need more.

Tell us about yourself: GMT, He/Him, Fledgling roleplayer and writer here for fun times. I can be a bit dense at times, so don't hesitate to ask questions or point things out to me.
Character: Doctor Faust of Guilty Gear fame, located here!
Permissions: It's a work in progress...
Tell us about them: This is the good doctors first foray into Dreamwidth, and it's nothing like anything he's ever experienced before! Faust himself is a rather bizarre individual prone to lighthearted nonsense, very much playing the clown role unless he needs to get serious - at which point, in place of the usual zany antics you will find a highly professional, experienced physician and surgeon ready to do what needs to be done. Faust also knows some semblance of magic, albeit...probably not the kind many others are used to. Or are expecting, for that matter.
Current plans: Right now, just getting involved with the island and it's denizens as a whole! From what I've read and heard, many have just come out of a very harrowing experience with both mental and physical injuries to show for it - Faust couldn't have arrived sooner, and will certainly be eager to get everyone patched back up and ready for whatever new horrors may come next. Maybe he'll even make some friends or enemies?
Anything else: Faust gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint

Character: Héctor,
Permissions: power of hugs
Tell us about them: HMD post, IC contact, A Very Cheerful And Silly Skeleton who is absolutely miserable on the inside. Literally held together with duct tape, as his right arm and left leg are broken, and not able to heal on their own because he's slowly fading away. Wears his usual ratty pants and this stupid shirt most of the time. And no shoes. Shoes are for everyone else. Will talk your ear off about nothing and be as helpful as possible. Gets attached to people very very quickly, because one never knows when they might disappear. Also really, really into playing dumb games with any and all kids!! YOU CAN'T STOP MY COPY/PASTING, BITE ME.
Current plans: Try To Survive And Stay Sane. Piddles around with corn & making cornmeal & cornflour & probably helps Muffet cook or something. Check in on people he knows a lot. GET EVERYONE TO RELAX OR SOMETHING, Y'ALL NEED FUN OR YOU'LL GO INSANE. More CR is always good.

Tell us about them: Suffers from Chronic Hero Syndrome. Will fight you if you ask. Actual professional Murderhobo. Is incapable of using swords but is very capable of making them. Still working through the bullshit that the Trial of the Patient made her reflect on.
Current plans: UH. I have nothing on my plate ATM so definitely looking for some good/positive CR and maybe a friendly rivalry? Adventuring buddy?
Also someone plz give her a job. She can make swords and axes and shields and mine up rocks and punch things and that's about the extent of her life skills.
Anything else: it's 1 am and i'm too tired for gifs. i demand a tribute of hugs.
