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.

Tell us about yourself: Arizona Time (MST, no DST); she/her pronouns. I work a lot of hours and love dragons and robots.
Character: Starflight (petrifiedshadow)
Permissions: Permissions here, most of it is your pretty standard fare but I would appreciate everyone checking out the last bit regarding Starflight's little trinket called a Dreamvisitor. Exactly what it says on the tin, it allows him to visit the dreams of other people and if you would rather he didn't please let me know. Also there's some dragon stuff about discussing topics like eating people or animals, if that's a thing you would rather not deal with (don't worry Starflight won't eat anyone).
Tell us about them: Your typical anxious teen nerd except he's a fire breathing dragon. He has a lot of issues with destiny and self-esteem and what it means when you're supposed to save the world but you're terrible at almost everything. He's been on the island about 2 months and honestly is not super thrilled about it but at least there's a library now.
Current plans: Starflight is slowly getting the hang of the whole island/talking human situation, and will mostly be lurking about the library like a melancholy gargoyle so if you want to bug him feel free. I would like to try and get a search thread going with him this month, so if you want to go exploring with a dragon, hit me up.
Anything else:

Ok I need Kate to meet a literal dragon. :>

[petrifiedshadow]

I don't know anything about Kate's canon but I skimmed her app and she seems really interesting and I am always open to any and all CR :) .

[patternseeker]

No worries! I'm canonblind to nearly everything. We'll give it a shot and see how it goes, no pressure!

[achievementhunter]

okay so a hiatus may have stopped this from happening before but

Chara really needs to meet a dragon. Esp if said dragon needs some book recommendations they have a couple of personal favs.

[petrifiedshadow]

Please give him book recs, Chara! He plans on reading the whole library if possible but gotta start somewhere.
