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.

Tell us about yourself: They/them, PST! I'm currently in a bit of a rough patch personally and trying to crawl my way out of it, so my timeliness is usually kind of spotty. Feel free to pester me if I haven't gotten back to something you're eager for, though!!
Character: Chip Abaroa demonpuppy and Edward Elric solperierat
Permissions: Chip and Edward
Tell us about them:

Chip Abaroa is a ten-year-old part-demon kid from an urban fantasy universe. They're somewhat shy and skittish but starting to come out of their shell, which has mostly resulted in a lot more impulsive mischief and maybe a few sullen snipes at people they view as edging in on their friendship real estate. Not always the quickest to pick up on things, Chip tends to make assumptions very fast and cling to them pretty fiercely but is also genuinely curious about things they don't understand. (Especially aliens. Holy crap they didn't know there are so many space people around this is SO COOL.) Also, they use they/them pronouns, so please remember that when tagging them!

Edward Elric is a reclusive, gruff asshole with a heart of gold that has a hundred problems and constant bouncing between worlds is like half of them. He's bounced from Amestris to pre-WWII Germany to a little game called Ryslig (where he picked up an impressive new look) before landing here on Life Aftr and becoming kind of tired of everything. He often helps out around the Denny and has recently been attempting to kick a nasty habit of hiding in whatever bottle he can find, which has had...mixed results? Self-care is hard, guys.

Current plans:

Chip is mostly running around being a dumb kid lately, and I have no particular plans with them for the month as I'm trying to catch up on...a lot of backtags, wheeze. However I'm absolutely open to new CR!

Edward needs a giant OOC kick back into the fray of things, so I'm going to try and focus on him this month! He's got an old game-mate returning this month, so that's exciting, but also I'd love to rekindle older CR or start new things! Fight buddies, science buddies, dumb bullshit, come hit me up!

Anything else:
