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!

Tell us about yourself: PST, he/she/him/her is fine. Student so wonky tag schedule. Currently obsessed with interior decorating games.
Character: Nari Reno [personal profile] everylittlesecret
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: The character has been here before as a CRAU, but this Nari is completely fresh and redone. Anything she's done or anyone she's met will not be remembered. Also, she'd dead in her story, so there will def be a lot of denial and insisting that this is the most messed up after life ever.

Nari is skittish to say the least and will not handle physical contact by strangers well at all (might zap/burn/freeze when panicked). Coming from a world where she is used to everyone hating her will not help, and she will be more likely to be a sarcastic ass to someone than friendly. Mira will be the only spared from the bad mood central. This gal has medical skills but will not use them unless she feels the need to. Worst nurse ever.

Current plans: UP FOR ANYTHING

Tell us about yourself: I'm in CST, usually don't hang around online super late at night because work is a thing I have to sleep for. Big fandoms are tokusatsu (mostly Kamen Rider and Super Sentai) and Digimon, and I have more Tamagotchi than you can shake a stick at. No really the collection is huge and I've honestly lost count.

Character: I'm playing Kiriya Kujo/Kamen Rider Lazer from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, the journal is [personal profile] truthkills
Permissions: I got nothin'.
Tell us about them: So Kiriya is a doctor--a coroner, to be exact--who transforms into an armored superhero in order to fight against a video game based disease...or, well, literally all the other doctors transform into an armored superhero. He transforms into the hero's motorcycle. (And, yes, he does get his own more relatively normal, "look, I have arms and legs" transformation, but the bike's funniest ok ok.) Anyway, in the course of investigating this game disease, he bit off more than he could chew and got kind of dead. Thanks to a particularly weird crossover special (that makes sense in context after quite a bit of explaining) after that, he is very aware he's dead, thanks. He's not the sort to brood on things, so he'll just keep on going with a smile. Back home, he's got a reputation for being a lying liar who lies, which is a fair point since he and the truth have a complicated sort of relationship. Kiriya's a friendly sort of guy, and he'll enjoy talking to all sorts of new people.

Current plans: So I just got here and have no really clear plans other than "here's this asshole who turns into a bike, let's roll." He's going to tell at least one person he's the last survivor of a race of motorcycle people at some point, probably.

Tell us about yourself: EST with an absurdly impractical and unpredictable sleeping schedule; feel free to add me on plurk or discord if you want to chat or plot or be friends or just hear me embarrass myself regarding Resident Evil and shitty Tales villains.

Character: Alexei Dinoia | [personal profile] ideismo
Permissions: Here.
Tell us about them: As the Commandant of the Imperial Knights, Alexei Dinoia did his best to save his world. Unfortunately, his best turned out to be total shit! He's currently...managing? Trying to actually talk to people and find ways to be useful. He has no idea what he's doing.
Current plans: I'm all right with just about any CR, positive or negative; anything goes with me, really, I'm easy. I really appreciate everyone's patience with my erratic tagging schedule, good lord.

Character: Albert Wesker | [personal profile] enhancements
Permissions: I don't have a post up yet, but he sort of warrants one – just in the interest of fair warning, his canon deals a lot with body horror, zombies being just like fucking everywhere, the end of the world, and also eating people? He eats people because of course he does.
Tell us about them: Albert Wesker is CEO of the Umbrella Corporation, and also may have kind of orchestrated an apocalypse that killed over seven billion people but he thinks that's fine because they're all zombies now, and zombies are preferable to humans because he's well-adjusted like that. He also got shoved into a murdergame, made some semblance of friends and then immediately tried to unleash the zombie plague in a sealed environment because, again, well-adjusted.
Current plans: Again, I'm fine with literally anything! One day I will play someone who doesn't have the social skills of a rock but today is not that day.

Tell us about yourself: Eclectic nerd with a weakness for color and making things (3d printing, beadwork, furniture rehab, metal work and soon to be pewter casting) who may or may not be a perpetual motion machine in humanoid form.
Timezone: EST, online from 3pm til 1am workdays, 9am til 1am non-work days.

Character:

Sakuya Tachibana, also known as Kamen Rider Garren, the hot mess who spawned a thousand memes. but not the ondul originator
Permissions: None yet!
Tell us about them:

Tachibana is a researcher turned transforming super hero who was. Not the best choice for the job, but was the only choice at the time. Tries hard, fails harder. He's a few weeks post series so he's had a little time to recover from nearly dying in his final fight and taking a long unconscious swim in the ocean and the world almost ending in a swarm of Darkroaches. He's also going to be arriving at the same time as his girlfriend, Sayoko, who died in his arms.

Also he will want to research everything when he recovers from the emotional whiplash his life has been.

edit: also, his transform gear is currently broken, so no one has to worry about Mr. Trigger Happy freaking out and shooting them in the face. :)

Current plans: An overdramatic reunion with Sayoko and eventually getting his research nerd on are about all I got right now since newbie.

Character: Yeager (Tales of Vesperia | [personal profile] scythegun)
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Formerly an arms dealer and the leader of a group of assassins, Yeager's currently getting used to being dead and also being here and boy he hates the latter!! He's incredibly apathetic about pretty much everything, but he hides that beneath the most obnoxious level of cheer you can imagine. Aside from being annoying, he's also really good at fighting and killing things, so he will happily do that whenever the opportunity presents itself. Better than thinking about home!!
Current plans: Honestly, I'm here for anything! Yeager doesn't have a ton of CR, so negative and positive alike are both fun. He's also available for missions just about whenever!

Character: Jack Krauser (Resident Evil | [personal profile] armamenta)
Permissions: Here and also a note that body horror is a thing that could very easily come up with him!
Tell us about them: Krauser was an American soldier who decided that he really hated the military after being sent on a mission without knowing all the details aaaand also they kicked him out after he was severely injured, so he turned to viruses and Albert Wesker, which was clearly not at all an insane decision to make. Krauser's primarily here for all things combat and occasionally stealth, but sometimes he causes an international incident while trying to be stealthy so you can't have everything. He's also a CRAU from a murdergame! The important thing here is that he kind of sort of learned how to make friends (maybe) and ended up attached at the hip to a different version of Albert Wesker, but that's probably fine. He's going to be mad about being here, since he was planning on going home and returning to work for his boss. Why can't he just live a simple life of being a villain, goddamn. Oh yeah, he's also kind of a zombie! So that's fun.
Current plans: No real plans here, he was just apped in so he'll be settling in. Positive CR, negative CR, very confused CR... anything goes! He's here for missions as well, since he also likes to fight things.
Anything else: Please double check his permissions post if body horror is a thing you want to avoid! While he's not likely to bring it up immediately around strangers, he is the sort of person to make off-color comments about the things he's seen and fought in the past so it could possibly come up at some point! (And no I don't have a fun image or gif, just pretend there's one here.)

Character: Héctor, [personal profile] vagabone
Permissions: power of hugs

Tell us about them: HMD post, IC contact, pointless inventory post. A Very Cheerful And Silly Skeleton who is absolutely miserable on the inside. Did run around with duct tape holding his broken bones together for a while, but they've healed up now. Wears his usual ratty pants and this stupid shirt most of the time. Everyone can totally see his hipbones. (THINK OF THE CHILDREN, BUDDY.) And he has 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, VORE ME.

Current plans: No plans for the month, really. His only survival skills are cooking/preparing flour the old-fashioned way and such, though he could learn? Also Ginko gave him a weed a few months back. A WHOLE WEED

Character: Tim Wright ([personal profile] postictal) from web series Marble Hornets, the Drifter ([personal profile] hyperlit) from indie game Hyper Light Drifter, Agent Washington ([personal profile] counterblows) from web series Red vs. Blue
Permissions: TIM | DRIFTER | WASH
Tell us about them:
TIM is a depressed chainsmoker from a web series called Marble Hornets (aka that one slender man webseries that Started It All) and a CRAU from [community profile] sol_raveh. He tries very hard and does generally mean well, but struggles a very lot with his own copious mental health issues. Has somehow progressed to being the rakish uncle of at least several children? Currently runs Denny, which is lifeaftr's sole eatery, and a carpentry place.

THE DRIFTER is from an indie game called Hyper Light Drifter. Silent, blue-skinned wanderer who communicates via sign language and/or a little bobbing sprite thing that hovers by their shoulder and projects text. They're suffering from an incurable terminal illness and are technically just dying in slow motion, but in general they're here to help!! They will happily teach sign language to anyone who asks.

AGENT WASHINGTON is from a web show called Red vs. Blue, which is a halo-based machinima about colorful space marines thats funny until it stops being funny and starts being really fucking sad. in general, he's pretty dependable in a crisis, is a highly accomplished killer, and has a hell of a Traumatic Past. but he's getting better, kinda. he has a tigerlily that wasn't supposed to be his, and actually has it a lot less together than he seems because he doesn't really have anyone left from his home to anchor him whoops

Current plans:
TIM still runs Denny, which is LifeAftr's one and only restaurant. Let me know if you wanna work there! We can handwave if you want, or if you want some good establishing threads for nascent CR that definitely flies for me too. I try to get a Denny mingle up once a month if possible, unless extenuating circumstances make that unlikely or unnecessary. He also has finally established a carpentry nearby, if you need any woodcarvin done!

THE DRIFTER will be super down to explore the new island this month oh boy!! They also were responsible for putting the library down on ensō and finally, FINALLY have some proper time to consider how best to stock it. they are now taking Suggestions From The Audience and will completely sincerely accept anything you have to offer. prehistoric tablet carvings? your old self-insert fanfiction? bad children's books? they will happily put in a request to the storyteller for exactly that, as they have hella stories saved up!!

WASH is floundering post-shadow event because That Sure Did All Happen Huh. will he process any of this under his own power?? heck no he has a castmate to trade barbs with for the duration of the month instead! he should also probably learn how to take care of the tigerlily he inherited from CT like...properly...because currently he's just kind of letting her do whatever lol

Character: Asgore Dreemurr | [personal profile] journalname
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Asgore is a big magic goat man who used to be a king, and currently just kinda hangs out growing plants and being really friendly and earnest at people! He is a Dad who currently doesn't really have anybody to Dad at. He's also a CRAU from a murdergame, which has maybe ironically made him less content with being here in general, because he actually had a group of friends there who liked him even though he's done some child murder, and he misses them.
Current plans: Nothing specific! Asgore's generally a pretty passive person and just happy to maintain his garden and the like if nothing's actively happening. His garden currently has a lot of vegetables and also some tea plants, all of which he's very happy to share! He's also likely to help out pretty much anybody who presents some kind of community project; he's volunteering at the clinic and he brings stuff to Denny fairly often. He's just a little wary of taking on any kind of leadership role.

OOCly, I'd love for him to, uh, talk to literally anyone about anything that's going on with him, ever. He's died a bunch and his kid wants nothing to do with him (which is reasonable because he is the Worst) and he's pretty sure he's never going home again so see meme below

[personal profile] journalname 2019-03-03 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
At least we can count on Asgore to stab both Wesker and Krauser in the head if they should happen to die?

He doesn't like it, but he learned his fucking lesson that one time okay

also I just realized that's probably nerfed here anyway, but he's still gonna do it if it comes up because that one time was actually ~kinda traumatic~
ideismo: (Default)

[personal profile] ideismo 2019-03-03 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Aside from the CRAU...whatnot that is sure to happen eventually, Alexei actually would like to follow up on the offer for company at some point or another; he's just. rather bad at socializing like a halfway normal person and I am so sorry about him.
journalname: (🔱 grin)

[personal profile] journalname 2019-03-03 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, at least Krauser's got one piece of built-in positive CR! Asgore will be happy to show him the ropes and stuff, and also not tell anybody any of the heinous shit he might know about him. We all keep each other's secrets in Trustfell probably!

Also Asgore likes Yeager well enough from that one conversation! He'd be happy to demonstrate some magic at Not A Party, or to go on missions with either of them whenever. The moral of the story is probably just that Asgore will be friends with literally anyone.
enhancements: (14.)

[personal profile] enhancements 2019-03-03 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
i mean it's likely not helping with the trauma train to know that you're going to have to straight-up decapitate him

destroying the brain actually doesn't work unless you hit him in a really really specific spot and even that's not a goddamn guarantee depending on which writer you ask

either way multiple people have canonically tried and failed at this

very graphically

...i hate him so much
ideismo: (08. Give me time; I will be clear)

[personal profile] journalname 2019-03-03 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that sounds fun! Asgore's kinda in a similar boat - he's actually quite good at socializing like a normal person once he's there, but he's got some weird hang-ups about people not actually really wanting to associate with him so he's not great at initiating unless it's with someone he already knows fairly well. Even then it's a bit of a crapshoot.

Fun fact: one of the first people who met him when he arrived here was Mickey Mouse, who proceeded to threaten him to stay away from everybody because Chara had told him about Asgore having killed human children! So that was hilarious in concept but super did not help, he didn't talk to anybody for like a month.
ideismo: (27. To walk among the living)

[personal profile] ideismo 2019-03-03 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh my god.

But no, he definitely does want to spend time with him, he finds Asgore to be an interesting person and he's actually not terrible at initiating? He's just bad at the actually knowing what to do once he's there, because casual conversation isn't really something he did a lot of over the past long while. Commandant first, actual person second, etc.

So we can definitely let them chill for a while if you want, he's down for it.
