OOC INTRO ( MAY )

OOC INTRO: MAY

State of the Game
Hello, and welcome adventurers, old and new! April was a month of changes and cycles and rebirth and renewal, as evidenced by the volcanic eruption on the island of Cahypdo and the strange effects that's had on the ages of characters and NPCs alike. Thankfully, by the time April has concluded, things will be restored to normal...or whatever passes for normal here, in any case.

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

1. Cahypdo. We recommend that anyone new to the game take the opportunity to read up on the island of Cahypdo, as well as trade with the Roaka, the local populace, if that interests them. Cahypdo will be vanishing when Storytelling goes up on May 20th, so get in any explorations while you can!

2. New Island. The votes are in, and islanders voted to go to the second option presented - the one represented by green flames and strange starburst patterns reminiscent of explosions. The new island will join LifeAftr's shores on May 10th, when it will become accessible for exploration!

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.

It was! It was supposed to be a thing that I sort of dropped the ball on with Life Being Life, but it can become a regular thing!! Do you want to play pretend, Starflight. It's great.

[fourgasm]

THAT'S

THEIR

MOM

although the insinuation she fucks is less horrifying than the insinuation she would have had Relations with, their dad, aka the worst person to ever live, klaus is going to barf forever

[atailoftwoworlds]

I would be totally up for exploring stuff with Lance. If only because I’m curious to find out what a weird combination he and Zidane would be!

[tenthstreetbred]

JAVID PLEASE.........

Good to know even if you temporarily forget me, you still think I am cool!!!! THAT MEANS I WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN YOUR HEART. like a parasite. owo

[tenthstreetbred]

See I was actually still thinking about tagging into that if you still want to do it! I just can't go willy nilly on tag ins since I am still so slow. But we can also do the old gun thing too!

[tenthstreetbred]

Tbh we didn't have much because I kept disappearing into space. I know Drifter and Shep kiiiinda know each other? Tim and Shep is like nothing, and Wash was just one thread from the intro when he first arrived so I am totally fine in starting fresh with that since there was like, nothing there LOL

[tenthstreetbred]

oh my god. OH MY GOD AZ YOU'RE KILLING ME.....

Queue Shepard being Attached to Gobbet and Gobbet having No Idea Why

god yes. give me this good good angst

[tenthstreetbred]

yes absolutely!!!!

Do we want to do anything on the intro log/any search requests and stuff?

[tenthstreetbred]

Don't worry, Shepard's space also has monkeys. Just different monkeys. That may or may not be human sized!? The jury is still out on that. No gorillas though... yet.

[tenthstreetbred]

JUST TAKES THEM GREEDILY

I know little to nothing about Umbrella Academy but I am so excited for this disaster. Also I know so little about CR except that Jester is good???? She good.

[tenthstreetbred]

LMFAO I have NO idea why this game is so good... I got it for free from PS+ and I was playing it for. hours. but then I couldn't find the last damnable radios and that's when I stopped.

Gosh yes, just Shepard, already pointing a gun at the Pattern: hm. Yes. Not evil. Of course.

[tenthstreetbred]

Yes!!! Shepard would LOVE to teach Guzma both of those things!!! Get ready for some amazing training, Guzma, because Shep was Top Of Her Class and she's gonna whoop you into shape.

Tbh Ammy would have a good chance of actually getting her out of her little shack since dog. Dog. Who can resist dog???

[tenthstreetbred]

I have so many podcasts to catch up on (which I am sure you have heard before) but like.... god I need more supernatural shit in my life. Is it on iTunes?

yes yes yes! Are you doing anything for the intro log or are you going to wait for the event? will he be investigating mothman

[catpiper]

gosh both??? ren and shep can go on a search request and i could always make a starter for two and shep on the intro log. It's whatever works 4 u bc i am game for all things always!!! HIT ME

[sandsister]

i already forgot he has a million brothers. o hmyGOD ALSO she can one up that. move over joyrides, let's talk about DEMON rides and also she'll tie him to a chair and then like tuck him in or smg idk. u kids and ur newfangled games these days.

[tenthstreetbred]

That sounds good to me! Shep and Ren can go on a nice adventuring walk together. It'll be fun! inb4 the island tries to kill them but it's fine

[forwearemany]

I suppose either could work, since it hasn't been long.

Legion would definitely freak out when the event was over if Shep saw them as the agricultural unit.

Player: Fran
Contact: Plurk is Frannyan Discord is... something similar. /not awake
Tell us about yourself: EST, heavily distracted, half asleep
Character: Tachibana is this guy, Bakura ( shiromadoshi )is the other
Permissions: Nothing yet. Tachibana's got healing now and a "calm the f down" button that he hates to use and thus won't unless it's absolutely direly needed which I think are the only things permissions are needed for? /is a big fan of asking when it comes up because what is forethought/ planning
Tell us about them:
Tachibana: Went from being a lab-nerd researching immortal life for his company that he somehow didn't realize was up to No Good to being a monster-fighting transforming hero who tried hard and failed harder to being a hollow shell of his former self once that was over. Then he wound up in Syn where he was forced to deal with some of his issues, lived a bunch of other AU lives, wound up immortal himself, reunited with half the people he'd lost in canon and adopted a sidekick pokemon/digimon knockoff who's basically a small child version of himself in his armor. He's still a hot mess who's prone to knee jerk reactions, yelling, stubbornly refusing to change his mind while other people are in the room (and then doing so the second they leave...) but also has a huge soft spot for kids and is still a giant nerd at heart. Ask him about anything medical or biological in nature (or motorcycles) and watch him go~

So far in LA he's been mostly spending time with Sayoko because she's not dead and kinda just being around. Vague plans of starting up a mechanics shop because tinkering and because he misses his motorcycle and knows how to build a steampunk/magic powered one. (He also knows how to build a hoverbike but those parts are a biiit out of his ability to fabricate here.)

Bakura: A nerd of a different sort, this kiddo loves the occult and games and would have an huge collection of ouija boards if he didn't need the space for all his TRPG minifigs and dice. He also had a brief stint at Syn where he made friends with Discworld!Death and a bunch of video game characters and came to the conclusion that all fictional worlds are real somewhere (which is the most awesome thing ever). He is the sort who will follow the will o the wisp in a heartbeat, fanboy at anything large, gross, otherworldly and/or threatening that clearly should be run from, will cheerfully talk about that one time he died and all the weird things that happened to him when he had the Sennen Ring and how he kinda misses that clearly cursed bit of black magic and all sorts of things that will make people wonder how it is it was only the one time he died....

Currently Bakura is.... uh... ... Around! Doing things! Mapping the island because of course he is.

Current plans: What are plans, can you eat them I have mega brainfry due to RL stuff which is why my guys mostly just kinda... exist? Somewhere? doing things? I'd like to get stuff going but ideas are hard...

Anything else:


When you find one TFLN that covers both your idiots...

[tenthstreetbred]

Then I will definitely tag into your top level!!!! This is gonna be good!

[atailoftwoworlds]

Did you say friends? I have this kid who picks up friends very easily. He also the type to not push people to pour their hearts out but he’d make offers to Shepard to get her to join things and let her take her time.

Player: Birb
Contact: TheBirdsAndBees | Birb#0593 @ Disco
Tell us about yourself: GMT+10, she/her/they! A friembly headmod who is overly affectionate and here to help! Feel free to hmu at any time, I'll always get back to you if I'm not on at that moment.

Character: =) achievementhunter
Permissions: Nein! Whilst Chara may come with some sensitive topics, I will always ensure I double-check before anything close to that comes up!

Tell us about them:
Chara spent a little bit of time Trying To End The World and then even more time Trying Not To Exist and tbh, neither goal has actually panned out in the long run. It's hard to come out the other side of being murdered a couple of hundred times over in a continuous time-loop of No One Is Happy About This, but three years of LifeAftr and a prior stint in a game called Sol Raveh has had them cooling of their jets a little, leaning more into their meme loving nature, and being slightly more chill about people in general. Slightly.

Current plans:
Chara's just coming back from a cosmic Time Out, alongside their Partner in Time, Frisk. They'll be trying to get themself back into the groove of things after a month or so of just Not Existing Again, so I'm looking forward to catching up with old CR and making some new!

Anything else:

[tenthstreetbred]

I did in fact say friends!!!! And that sounds perfect tbh, she needs that kind of energy in her life!

[lightlessfuture]

Q_Q

they're gonna be so happy chara is back and out of respect to them try to act like they didn't just vanish

look they kept the garden tidy and everything...!!

[achievementhunter]

the irony here is that chara is genuinely going to be super concerned about the garden WHEEZELAUGHS so Knight can absolutely expect to be one of the first to see them back as Chara busts in the door like my fuCKING PETUNIAS

but they'll also be v hap to see their lil bug frien you didn't hear that from me

[hellawrath]

WAY TO BREAK LUP'S HEART BY VANISHING she is gonna try to play it cool but also probably cry on them

also i would DIE for some murder toddler cr, a murder toddler playdate??? they're both just not any good
