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: PST, she/her, and I generally tag after 4pm! I'm also a student on top of working, so there will be times I don't tag for a couple days; if you want to continue something feel free to nudge me, I'm super forgetful.
Character: Mira (antepone) and Shiro (galrarm)
Permissions: Mira! Important due to some empathy permissions. Shiro!
Tell us about them:

MIRA is a girl in her super early twenties who comes from Washington state. She grew up in France, and later moved to the states. Her world is pretty damn shitty in that it sees people with abilities as a threat; therefore, it works to sort of "poison" people's minds, but only those without powers. In spite of all this, Mira reminds kind and caring, even if she has trust issues and refuses to talk about her problems. She's willing to take on others' burdens, though, and she internalizes. A lot. Ever since coming to LifeAftr, though, she's gotten more paranoid and is trying to teach herself to distance herself from people she cares about, just enough that she won't be devastated when they leave. She is... a little better about this due to previous events, so that's good, at least!! She also has a corgi and a cat, so come play with them!

SHIRO a soldier and has been through a ton of shit including: Being a gladiator! Being experimented on! Having his arm removed and replaced with an alien prosthetic! Nearly dying several times! Eating shit in each season opening! Needless to say, all of this has built up and he has a significant amount of trauma. But it's fine. Shiro is still compassionate and strives to make everyone around him feel comfortable. He's also a natural leader and values teamwork.

Current plans: I recently just came off hiatus, so! Let's do some search requests. Aside from that I'm just wingin' it.
Anything else:

Last game Tachibana was in (that he's getting updated to the stuff from) he wound up being besties/trauma-survivor-bros with the Shiro there, so once I get him back from updating, he'll want to say hi (and likely cause massive confusion.)

Something you're up for/ cool with?

[galrarm]

I totally forgot to reply back to you--I'm so sorry! It's been a tough few weeks. I'd be okay with that!

[triggerhappytraitor]

No worries! Things have been kinda all over the place here as well.

I'll keep an eyeout for a good opening for semi-mistaken identity times :)
