OOC INTRO ( MARCH )

OOC INTRO: MARCH

State of the Game
Hello, and welcome, to both new arrivals and more seasoned explorers! The month of February, short as it was, nonetheless saw a brief opportunity to relax and unwind, in the form of some recreational island-painting. We hope the break was restful and rejuvenating, because there's going to be a new island this month...

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

1. Monsun. The island of Monsun has been present in the archipelago for the last month or two, but it won't be for much longer! If you have any business you wish to complete there, be sure to do it soon; it will be disappearing from the archipelago as of March 20th.

2. New Island. The votes are in, and the majority of characters opted to vote for the island represented by orange flames, a towering mountain, and a village or ruin beside it. This new island will be available on March 10th for exploration.

3. Game Updates. Our mumble-monthly State of the Game posts have declined in frequency, in large part due to a lack of notable updates. However, a new State of the Game post will be going up relatively soon with some important updates, some important thank yous, and also a player poll!

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

Starflight | Wings of Fire

[petrifiedshadow]

Player: Lex
Contact: talianora; Discord talianora#7723, PM to this journal
Tell us about yourself: Arizona Time (MST, no DST); she/her pronouns. I work a lot of hours and love dragons and robots. I also draw.
Character: Starflight (petrifiedshadow)
Permissions: Permissions are Here, most of it is your pretty standard fare but I would appreciate everyone checking out the last bit regarding Starflight's little trinket called a Dreamvisitor. Exactly what it says on the tin, it allows him to visit the dreams of other people and if you would rather he didn't please let me know. Also there's some dragon stuff about discussing topics like eating people or animals, if that's a thing you would rather not deal with (don't worry Starflight won't eat anyone).
Tell us about them: First off, Starflight is from a canon where humans pretty much been driven to extinction by dragons, who now are the dominant life form on the planet and live in various matriarchal societies, which have all been at war for 20 years, which is great. Starflight is one of 5 dragonets who are prophesized to end the war, and was therefore literally raised under a rock to keep them all safe. And once they escaped were immediately captured by someone else and have spent most of the time in various prisons. It's a fun time.

Starflight is an anxious nerd who loves to read and knows all sorts of facts! He's pretty insecure since he's supposed to have all sorts of magic powers which he doesn't and is supposed to be "superior" and "a natural leader" since he's a NightWing (not be confused with Night Fury) and he is definitely not. He is also cautious to the point of cowardice and is a TERRIBLE fighter. He may be a dragon but honestly like, half the people in the game could probably take him out in a fight. But he's a good kid and super loyal and once he is your friend you won't regret it!
Current plans: Starflight is Brand New so my main goal at the moment is just getting some CR and getting involved in the plot. If you want a fire breathing dragon for anything, let me know. I would especially love CR with other teens or academics, but I'm not picky in the least, I LIVE for unexpected CR and this poor boy needs friends (or more enemies, you can never have enough).
Anything else:


Also Starflight looks something like this, he's about 9 ft tall at his head so he is part of the Tall Club with Faust and Foster, I guess. He's slimmer than this pic lets on though, this is the official NightWing coloring page from the book/website. Thanks Scholastic!

...I feel like these two have a lot in common and will need to meet/hang out/be book-nerds together or something.

[petrifiedshadow]

Excellent! I will definitely try and make that happen :).

This anxious nerd child may very well need to be taught about the liars of the world, I nominate Kiriya for assistance there. (Riders all have soft spots for kids, pretty much.)

[petrifiedshadow]

Well, he's been lied to a lot and also thrown in prison several times so he's pretty set on that lesson, but I appreciate all CR!

[truthkills]

Poor kid. I'm good with any sort of CR, myself! o7

[atailoftwoworlds]

Did you say teens? How about a loser teen thief who is sligtly obsessed with girls and tends to help and big brother people a lot?

[petrifiedshadow]

He can't exactly relate to the obsessing with girls thing (he's already got two very confusing crushes and that is plenty for him thanks), but all his real and surrogate siblings are missing so Absolutely!

[hyperlit]

PROSPECTIVE LIBRARY CR ASIDE the drifter has an interest in anyone who is notably Not Human because they themself have...no humans in their universe so people who don't look human are infinitely easier to understand.

once they understand he isn't hostile anyway

[petrifiedshadow]

I am always happy to oblige for Non-Human CR!

[peaceintheworld]

Starflight sounds wonderful! Sayoko's at least sort of nerdy, in the "does crossword puzzles for fun and is kinda sedate" sense, and I'd love to see how they'd get along!

[petrifiedshadow]

I am starting to realize I need to research Kamen Rider and skim everyone's apps because they all seem very much the kind of folks Starflight would get on with!
