OOC INTRO: FEBRUARY

State of the Game
Welcome, newcomers, and hello again to the oldcomers! Last month saw adventurers being unwittingly conscripted into helping the Avatar of Balance do some much-needed re-balancing of their island, thrown off-kilter as it was. After the chaos of Shadows, Lights, and Rejection Rooms, you probably need a few days to rest and recuperate...and maybe mend whatever shattered bridges may have arisen between you and your CR...but Balance, for what it's worth, is incredibly thankful for your help!

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

1. Monsun. The island of Monsun is not only still in the archipelago, but will be very relevant come this month's intro log. It is recommended that new players read up on the island's information, so that they are appraised come said intro!

2. February Event. The Storyteller was diligent as ever in allowing you to vote for your next island location. In the process of said voting, it seems that you all made your thoughts on going anywhere new this month...quite clear. Thus, there will be no new island this month, though there will be an event mid-month to make up for it! Voting will re-resume next month.

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

Tell us about yourself: EST, she or they, live with three cats, very tired all of the time always. i work weekdays but i'm usually easy enough to reach if you ping me on plurk or discord.

Character: Ardyn Izunia | scourgingstars
Permissions: n/a
Tell us about them: You put Kefka, Kuja, and Seymour in a blender with a little of Sephiroth's aesthetic, a very heavyhanded messiah allegory, a real bad case of resentment, sibling rivalry, and a lot of space malaria, and you get Ardyn. Don't worry, he hasn't murdered anyone in like a few years. By now he's mostly just the annoyed evil neighbor living with a black chocobo. Don't mind the fact that he almost never goes out in sunlight. It's probably fine. Probably.
Current plans: nothing concrete--following the last event he's still hanging around the desert side of monsun. gradually working towards evening out to being moderately less shitty a person but no less full of demons and till very much Not Totally Alright mentally or emotionally. so basically he's this right about now. i could definitely use a little more crosscanon CR, he's kind of a stubborn sack of daemons and trust issues that's made branching out tricky.
Anything else:

I am always up for more cr and Shion trusts Ignis' judgement enough to believe Ardyn is good despite all evidence.

I'm happy to keep throwing Jules at him if you're game.
