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.

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:
