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.

Player: Nick!
Contact: daintily, nickknack#8156 @ Discord
Tell us about yourself: It's not true yet, but I'll be EST as of tomorrow! They/them.

Character: Lance, thegoofball
Permissions: There's one on his journal!
Tell us about them: Lance is a Paladin of Voltron, ladies' man (lol) and general goof. Obviously. He's been in Life Aftr for about a year, give or take some hiatus and a temp drop, and he's...Been Adjusting. He's got a kind of nihilistic view of the islands - things are going to be terrible or weird so why even bother fighting it?
Current plans: I need to get Lance back in the game!! If anyone wants to do an explore or get up to shenanigans with him, I'm all for it.

Character: Genji Shimada, assoverelbow
Permissions: There's one on his journal.
Tell us about them: Genji is a member of an unnamed crime syndicate family turned cyborg agent of Overwatch. He's been through a lot, but he's okay with things because he spent a lot of time with some robot monks. He's chill. He's also completely new to the islands so he doesn't know what to expect yet!
Current plans: Get him established! Get him some friends! Get him some people to learn his backstory and go "wow that sucks" while he's just sitting there like "nah fam it's chill".
Anything else:

[motherfucking_ghost]

but what about your fuckin spirit dragon noodles genj

[assoverelbow]

Sadly not so noodly here.

[tenthstreetbred]

Hello yes I need an Overwatch in my life. Would Genji like to meet a space marine that is somehow not the same space marine as the others on this island?

ALSO I need my girl to meet Lance too!!!! I haven't Voltron'd in forever but. Need it, yes, thank you.

[assoverelbow]

He WOULD. What is space like without gorillas, he wonders.

But Lance and her can talk about space WITHOUT mention of monkeys. Probably.

[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.

[fourgasm]

idk why i just think itd be funny for klaus to mention to gengy that his mom is a robot

[assoverelbow]

robots fuck and that's a fact

[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

[petrifiedshadow]

I'd love some CR with either Lance or Genji (super excited to see him in the app queue)!

Starflight is technically in charge of the library, and I think monster's & mana as an event there was mentioned at one point (correct me if I'm wrong)? He'd be very interested if that was the case.

[assoverelbow]

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.

[petrifiedshadow]

He would love to, especially in a situation where his friends do not bully him into playing the vain, silly princess, which is unfortunately most of his experience with pretend games.

[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!
