OOC INTRO: JUNE

State of the Game
Hello and welcome to our newest arrivals! And to those of you checking in on the state of things - welcome back! Besides some slight trouble with the local network, May was probably a net improvement, with the introduction of the island of Io. The island's deity, the Avatar of Celebration, loves the opportunity to give everyone there a good a time. So if you haven't explored the island's many attractions yet, you might enjoy doing so. It's worth the chance to relax, 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 June 4th. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Io. We recommend that anyone new to the game take the opportunity to read up on the island of Io. The island will be remaining for the next month at least, so if you have any business that needs doing there, be sure to get it in during the month of June!

2. Network Update. As of May 30th, the Stones of Farspeech are now less Stones and more akin to phones, as they are capable of texting and emojis! This should make things easier for new arrivals, won't it?

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of June - 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!

Player: Michelle
Contact: sweetstacks#0827 at discord!!
Tell us about yourself: PST! I work 9-2:30 on the weekdays and sometimes Saturdays so I generally don't tag until around 4. I'm also starting school! So tags will be slow... I apologize.
Character: Shiro (

galrarm) and Mira (

antepone)
Permissions: Shiro and Mira, who has permissions for her empathy!
Tell us about them: Shiro is a former paladin, current captain back home! He spent a year as a soul inside a giant mechanical cat but he's... fine. Allegedly. Despite all his baggage he's very kind and considerate, and if you're a friend, he'll always be there for you. Currently he's pretty okay! He has his pals and his boyfriend, though with Lance just leaving, he's a little... sad. He's good at clamming up his feelings though, and he's a master of deflection. Nice.

Mira is an original character who comes from a world that has its own defense against people with powers! But she's adjusting well-ish here, even though she's developed some paranoia. She's currently trying to keep her head up, because her boyfriend just left--so she'll be a little out of sorts. But talking about your feelings, what is that? She'll be around party island and try to keep herself busy to not dwell on the sads.
Current plans: I'm just winging it y'all.

Character: Castor Westmoore

littlemhigan
Permissions: n/a
Tell us about them: FFXIV's Warrior of Light. Living Shitpost. Barely literate. Kinda would like to go home but also is having fun with the monthly insanity.
Current plans: The fact that the stones just got a text option coupled with functional illiteracy is it's own plan, imo.

but yeah I spent May half-dead so Castor needs to get out more. She's an excellent exploration buddy.

Anything else:

Player: Levy!
Contact: plurk;

pathogenic | discord; levantholos#4601
Tell us about yourself: Name's Levy. I work at a toxicology lab, science, anime, and vidya game nerd. My timezone is EST and I usually get home late from work so around 9pm, so I will tag later in the evenings! My current fandoms are overwatch, kuroshitsuji, trollhunters, touken ranbu, and many more!

Basically I just like to chill and chat it up, honestly. I'm rather easy going when it comes to pretty much everything? So feel free to add me on plurk and discord if you like!
Character: Maximilien |

laundering
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Max is basically a full fledged robot or an omnic in his world. He's basically a sentient being that owns a lot of businesses and may or may not be into illegal shit like money laundering. He's overall a rather mysterious character in canon still, not much info has been detailed about him or his goals. But he's basically a smooth talking, business man, whose loyalties are rather ambiguous. Aka he sketchy af and doing business with him is both bad and good, so good luck!
Current plans: Any CR at the moment is good for me! He could go for both but I mainly just want to get his footing here. I might have him open up a trading business or something in the future?! But who knows.

Character: Diego Hargreeves | The Umbrella Academy (Netflix) |

guidedblade
Permissions: I have one that's in the process of being created, so for now please let me know if you would like to opt out of any stuff involving severe child abuse, violence, vigilantism, etc. His canon is a trip.

Tell us about them: Diego is the lovechild of Daredevil and Batman, except nowhere near as cool as either of them. After being raised in a horrific environment by a total dick, he's a boxer and janitor who puts on a domino mask and a bondage harness full of knives and fights crime at night as a vigilante. He has the ability to curve anything he throws so he never misses, but that's been nerfed to 5 times a day in game. Which is going to hurt him in his angry little soul. Did I mention he changes all his emotions into anger? Also has a stuttering problem when he's emotional, is a mama's boy, and is secretly very very softe on the inside.

Current plans: Everything! Particularly, right now, I'm excited for him to find out about that nerf and actually miss when he throws a knife and have a mental breakdown about it. He's going to probably spend a lot of time babysitting his brothers Klaus and Ben and pretending to not babysit his brother Five. But I desperately want cross-fandom people to banter with him or be frienemies or BE ADOPTED, especially since he tends to be more open/friendly/nice with people who aren't his siblings. Like really I just want Diego to adopt a horde of people to get overprotective and annoyed at. Please.
Anything else:

(Seriously, look at him, he looks really cool and pretty hot, and then he opens his mouth, don't say I didn't warn you.)

Edited 2019-06-03 05:39 (UTC)

Max and Horatio need to meet, obviously. Robot bros need to stick together. Also please teach him how to survive, he wears gucci shoes and designer suits he's gonna die.

Player: Naz

nazitra
Tell us about yourself: CST, slow as fuck due to working 40+ hours a week, I like skeletons and I like dadguys.
Character: Héctor,

vagabone
Permissions: please hug him

Tell us about them: HMD post, IC contact, pointless inventory post. A Very Cheerful And Silly Skeleton who is absolutely miserable on the inside. Did run around with duct tape holding his broken bones together for a while, but they've healed up now. Wears his usual ratty pants and this stupid shirt most of the time. Everyone can totally see his hipbones. (THINK OF THE CHILDREN, BUDDY.) And he has no shoes. Shoes are for everyone else. Will talk your ear off about nothing and be as helpful as possible. Gets attached to people very very quickly, because one never knows when they might disappear. Also really, really into playing dumb games with any and all kids!! YOU CAN'T STOP MY COPY/PASTING, VORE ME.

Current plans: Not much planned out for this month. His only survival skills are cooking/preparing flour the old-fashioned way and such, though he could learn just about anything. He's getting closer to his one year island vacay anniversary and not at all happy about it. Not. At. All. No set routine, he ambles around and visits with people or cooks occasionally at the Denny. Also likes the library a lot.

Character: Tim Wright (

postictal) from web series Marble Hornets, the Drifter (

hyperlit) from indie game Hyper Light Drifter, Agent Washington (

counterblows) from web series Red vs. Blue
Permissions: TIM, DRIFTER, and WASH - all pretty basic stuff, though some of these are in dire need of revamping. If any of these characters tread near content warning-y stuff for you, gimme a poke and I'll be happy to omit stuff from my tags and the like.
Tell us about them:

TIM has got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match. He's a depressed chainsmoker from a web series called Marble Hornets (aka that one slender man webseries that Started It All) and a CRAU from sol_raveh. He tries very hard and does generally mean well, but struggles a very lot with his own copious mental health issues. Has somehow progressed to being the rakish uncle of at least several children? Currently runs Denny, which is lifeaftr's sole eatery, and a carpentry place.

THE DRIFTER is from an indie game called Hyper Light Drifter. Silent, blue-skinned wanderer who communicates via sign language and/or a little bobbing sprite thing that hovers by their shoulder and projects text. They're suffering from an incurable terminal illness and are technically just dying in slow motion, but in general they're here to help!! They will happily teach sign language to anyone who asks.

AGENT WASHINGTON is from a web show called Red vs. Blue, which is a halo-based machinima about colorful space marines thats funny until it stops being funny and starts being really fucking sad. in general, he's pretty dependable in a crisis, is a highly accomplished killer, and has a hell of a Traumatic Past. but he's getting better, kinda. he has a tigerlily that wasn't supposed to be his, and actually has it a lot less together than he seems because people from home are a BIG CONCERN

Current plans: i feel like i mostly just coasted with all three of mine last month, and that wasnt fair to my close cr and castmates. so i wanna try and kick up their activity more this month!

TIM still runs Denny, which is LifeAftr's one and only restaurant. Let me know if you wanna work there! We can handwave if you want, or if you want some good establishing threads for nascent CR that definitely flies for me too. I try to get a Denny mingle up once a month if possible, unless extenuating circumstances make that unlikely or unnecessary. He also has finally established a carpentry nearby, if you need any woodcarvin done! the latest additions to denny include a handcarved chessboard, tic tac toe board, and checkers, as well as some decks of cards donated by héctor and connor!

THE DRIFTER is still kind of mopey since the guardian vanished and is still unpacking a lot of their shit. it's slow going, but...they backslid a little last month, and it wasn't great. maybe now that we have texting they'll actually communicate a little better. basically they want to be DOING THINGS ALWAYS and it'll be nice if someone can force or trick them into just. sitting down to Chill lmao

WASH is doing the vague coping thing and its not....AS terrible as expected. he still wants to help build a gym, but those plans might fall to the wayside since CAROLINA IS BACK??? OH FUCK, YALL,

Tell us about yourself: EST is a bitch and I haunt the nights like it ain't no thang. She/her, though I will also answer to HEY YOU WITH THE FACE if need be. I also swear like the sailor's granddaughter that I am, so apologies in advance!
Character: Just Allura (

diplomacycheck)
Permissions: Nope!
Tell us about them: Allura is a princess, the last of her line, an alchemist, and the current Blue Paladin back home. Helping others is basically her calling and while she's got her own problems (and working on overcoming them) others are almost always a first. She only asks for something shiny once in a while. With Lance gone, however, she... is a bit more closed off but that's fine, right? Totally healthy to keep those feels to herself, yep.
Current plans: What's a plan is it edible.
Anything else: I have no shitposts so have Allura realizing teen!Coran's taste in music.

Character: Zidane Tribal

atailoftwoworlds
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Shounen hero thief with a monkey tail who likes pretty women and is famous for saving people's lives and helping people out just because. Not the politest person ever but Zidane's a pretty amiable person and a loyal friend who is there for you. Currently he is doing okay despite things he'd rather talk about in his own time being revealed on the network. He's missing home but he's trying to stay optimistic. He's also good at pretending nothing is wrong but he's trying to be better at not doing this (easier if he knows you well enough to let some stuff out).

Oh, and since there are a lot of robots and otherwise artificial people here I guess I could mention that he's from an artificial race and made to be some bloodthirsty emissary of death and war but he turned out nice and pretty stable thanks to 'sibling' jealousy. He hasn't told anyone in LifeAfter of this yet though.

Current plans: Partly I'm going to wait until the announcements are up but thanks to the new text and emoji function, I do plan to have Zidane dicking around with it (because he's 16 and he doesn't have that sort of technology back on Gaia so shiny new toy sort of).

Otherwise, he spends time hunting and gathering stuff with his very friendly pet lorby Blank (who will be very friendly and want pets and who likes food a lot but will screech at the top of his voice until you're unconscious if you try to harm his master). He gives some of the stuff he's found to other islanders so feel free to handwave that. He can also be found at the library looking for material for the theatre he's planning to open up. Or hanging around at the Denny ready to play cards or any games. And if you have any CR with him he might visit you to check up on you. FEEL FREE TO ASSUME HE'S VISITED YOU.

Anything else:

Edited 2019-06-03 10:00 (UTC)

Awww poor Allura. If Zidane notices she's sad he might check up on her. Not push her to talk but maybe invite her for hunting for food or playing cards. Something to keep her mind off things.

Hey Drifter do you need someone to help you chill a bit? Come and play some games or do some hunting with a friend. Or playing with fireworks. Something to keep your mind off things!

Edited 2019-06-03 09:48 (UTC)

I would totally be up for exploration shenanigans with Castor! Or maybe some hunting for resources? Something relaxing which can lead to weird shenanigans.

Character: Legion

forwearemany
Permissions: Here
Tell us about them: Legion comes from their personal bad end timeline, the one in which the Quarians destroy the Geth. This has hurt them pretty bad, but they've been here for a while now, and are adjusting.
Current plans: Not much in the way of plans, thinking I'll just see how this month goes.
Anything else: Don't feel like bothering with a shitpost.

Good news! Legion is not only a pretty good fighter, they also know all about this organic life thing ~~and how terrifyingly dangerous organics are~~!

They'd be happy to help, and are always interested in meeting more synth friends.

Well Legion here would be very interested to learn about a world where synths are allowed to exist freely in organic society and even own property, instead of either being shackled slaves or hiding out in remote corners of the galaxy.

Obviously these two should meet.

Tell us about them: Supersoldier, WWII vet, superhero, artist. Lonely, stubborn, allergic to following orders. Has PTSD, depression, and the occasional death wish, but otherwise a friendly guy willing to lend a hand. Shaped like a dorito. Coming in just before Cap: Civil War.
Current plans: He's new so all the CR. Please pester Captain America while he gets settled in.
Anything else:

they'll probably accept that......probably. they're weird about most things that people would consider "Fun" so you have to make it seem like a competitive effort, or something useful!

HORATIO.

ngl i'm thrilled someone plays from primordia, and horatio is so excellent. i'd be very happy to get cr with horatio with any of my three, though the drifter here is more likely to have things in common with horatio, due to being synthesized to an extent themself - though they are organic!

i want this excellent robot. he seems like such a shitlord and i want him in my life. idk if you have a preference as to which of my three i throw at him but idc as long as i get cr

tim has regrettably amassed cr with two of diego's brothers already and the more of these siblings he collects the more he's going to realize that They're All Just Like This. tim is so tired, but he runs denny, which is where people to go to eat and drink and hang. and brood probably. do you want to brood somewhere diego

Character: Leonard Church | this journal!
Permissions: n/a
Tell us about them: Tortured amnesic artificial intelligence turned robot boy. He's a good noodle [citation needed]. Lives with the other RvBs and sometimes gets real annoyed about the fact that he feels a bit like he's missing out and not being useful and also really hopes nobody remembers when he kept introducing himself as Alpha hahaha.
Current plans: With the network fixed, he's gonna get on the horn and ask people to teach him how to study the blade. Because Wash got him a sword. Because honestly that's still safer than letting Church use guns.
Anything else:

Edited 2019-06-03 20:06 (UTC)

HAH. You underestimate Diego, he can brood literally anywhere.

Seriously, though, why would Tim have CR with any of these brothers. /slow headshake

Not that I'll deny him more, Diego would absolutely dramatically wait in the shadows to be noticed at Denny. Also I am totally canon unfamiliar with Marble Hornets (though I keep meaning to get into it) so I'm not sure what any good bonding points would be besides "oh crap, more hargreeves."

Character: Agent Carolina from Red vs Blue

uptightness

Permissions: Here but also have LifeAftr things tagged

Tell us about them: Former Freelancer in Project Freelancer, she is a bit uptight (hence the username), but after meeting the Reds and the Blues, and trying to use them to hunt down and kill ~~her father~~ the Director, she has learned a thing or two. She will remember her previous stay here, and be super confused, and has a coconut, so be ware. 8) But she has mellowed a little since PFL. Still doesn't do idiots too well, but she tends to be more bark and bite. Wants to be on the right side like she thought that she was in Freelancer. Currently from her retirement in canon, but had a bit of a hard time adjusting. She likes to keep busy and remain in fighting condition. Don't mess with those that she considers family, and you're all good. I do use a PB for her, just to give her more icons that aren't all in her suit, but she does tend to wear said suit.

Current plans: Anything! I am fine with Carolina rubbing people the wrong way, as she isn't sunshine and lollipops. She actively tries not to fall back in to her old ways, but in certain situations, that can certainly rear its ugly head. She will help, but more in a subtle way and not being I SAVED YOU. Rather, take care of the issue, and move on. She'd get on slightly better with more mature people, but open to having her be annoyed. Going to be a bit miffed and pissed as to wtf is going on, and why the heck is she not where she thought that she was.

Anything else:

Look buddy, they're the last of their kind for a reason, and that reason is pissed off organic life.

...Organics are worthy of admiration too yes (Legion loves them even now) but Legion's gonna worry about this robot who doesn't know anything about them.

Since I know a bit about Primordia and that Horatio likes to fix and build things, I will also note that Legion salvaged a whole bunch of stuff, including their own corpse that got left behind when they died, so they have a lot of spare parts Horatio can fiddle with to build things and are willing to share them.

They can also tell him about other planets and aliens and stuff.

lmao i play like...2/3 obscure muses here i never expect anyone to be canon familiar

basically tim is a depressed chain smoker with a lot of mental health issues but he's getting better, steadily. since ending up in LA he's adopted several knife children and mistook five for a knife child in need of adopting only to learn that with the addition of klaus every hargreeves he's met is just a walking talking posterboard for "hi i have fucking ptsd" so thats where he is rn
