OOC INTRO ( APRIL )

OOC INTRO: APRIL

State of the Game
Hello, and welcome, to both new arrivals and more seasoned explorers! The month of March saw adventurers exploring the new island of Cahypdo, making friends with the local people, the Roaka, and feeling that fertile earth move under their feet. Those of you who are new to the game or have not had a chance to do so already are more than welcome to trade with the Roaka - though we recommend you do so before this month's event.

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

1. Cahypdo. As the newest island in the archipelago, we recommend that anyone new to the game read up on the island of Cahypdo, due to its relevance in the intro log...and for this month's event!

2. Event Scheduling. Speaking of events, last month we held a poll to see how you would like to see us schedule events going forward. The uncontested conclusion was a preference for events to take place earlier in the month. As such, this month's event will start us off in that direction, with the event being held from April 10th to April 15th, with lasting consequences that will persist until the end of the month!

3. Dark Mode. Lastly, it was brought to us last month that our code is not very functional in dark mode. While the fix is fairly straightforward, LifeAftr has a fair amount of code to pour over in order to ensure all our pages are updated. We'd like to thank those who alerted us to the issue - and also encourage anyone to approach us if you notice a page, paragraph, or section that we've missed fixing up, once we've done so! We've already begun correcting a few pages, but we would be happy for anyone to let us know if we've missed anything.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of April - 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: Marti
Contact: texelations — Please do add me if we have any CR or any plans to! I'm also in the game discord as Marti | Agent Texas and I don't mind PMs there!
Tell us about yourself: I'm in the EST time zone and prefer she/her pronouns. I love writing and am currently working on a long-running RvB fic about the background on the Director. I have a fairly mundane existence otherwise as a wife and mom. I'm also training for the first job I will have had in a decade so that's something new!
Character: Agent Texas from Red vs. Blue @ a_shadow
Permissions: You can find Tex's permissions post here. At Tex's pull point she was recovering from an injury and was just to the point where she was able to walk unaided, so she has a ways to go to get back to the level of fitness she would prefer. Also, she has invisibility on her armor and is likely to use it strategically if she needs to in order to win a fight.
Tell us about them: Tex is a combat AI who was placed in a human body in her previous game. ICly she struggles with the desire to use her robot instead—and unfortunately for her, she doesn't have access to it in LifeAftr. Therefore, she will go through some struggles with accepting her lot in not overworking or injuring her human body in her attempt to regain what she doesn't have here. Otherwise, Tex has a special connection to another AI who is in game, known simply as Church. I will likely be exploring her emotions in regard to him as well.
Current plans: So far I just want Tex to meet people, including potential enemies, friends, or ship partners!
Anything else: I played the Director in the game last year, a character who was Tex's creator, so if your character had CR with him and it comes up that could be interesting to explore! Otherwise I mainly want a heads-up if your character has reason to know who Tex is.

And here's your gif:

I need this CR, give me all the synth CR, definitely give me all the badass synth CR.

[a_shadow]

She's missing her robot body so she's going to feel like an impostor of a synth.

[forwearemany]

A synth is still a synth regardless of materials. They've met synths made of magic and synths that are as flesh and blood as any organic.

[a_shadow]

That's a good point of connection, if that comes up!

[forwearemany]

It is.
