OOC INTRO ( AUGUST )

OOC INTRO: AUGUST

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! Last month, you all got the option to learn what it was like to be a merperson of sorts, and uncovered a sunken city with remnants of a long-lost people. Come August, the Jormun will be dispersing once more, but remember that they're always a shell-call away, if you ever feel like contacting them for any reason!

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

1. New Island. As we pushed back the emergence of the last island in this voting round, it will be coinciding with this month's intro log. New arrivals will be arriving on the new island, so be sure to read up on the island's OOC info post! It'll be relevant to the state of things when you show up, if you're new.

2. Network Functions. As of a generous donation from Kravitz (deathfindsaway) and Chara Dreemurr (achievementhunter), the LifeAftr network now has a notes function! This is a rather simple upgrade, and just means it's possible to create and store messages without having to immediately send them. But it might make it easier to draft things and send them as attachments! This information will be available on the FAQ as well.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of August - 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: Casey
Contact: Gryphcat, Casey#5471 on Discord!
Tell us about yourself: PST, they/he, constantly tired and distracted. I can be fairly slow with tags, but please feel free to pester me if you need a thread to move quicker!

Character: Edward Elric (Ryslig CRAU) solperierat
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Edward is a smart-ass young man that got duped into working for the military because of some dumb shit like 'accidentally made an abomination against nature and got his little brother stuck as a soul in a suit of armor'. It's kind of a long story, and he doesn't wanna talk about it--especially when there's the fun trauma of having been shoved through the horror-game wringer and come out the other side as a fuzzy winged goat man with a whole lot of self-identity issues! He's rude, blunt, impatient, but still good-natured at heart and willing to put himself on the line for people he barely knows.

Ed is in the process of shoving himself back out into the ordeal of 'being social' again, which mostly entails getting out and about, helping out at the Denny more often, and puzzling over some of the plot hints that have cropped up recently. He's also been quietly dying inside about not being able to just shove the other two resident Rysligs in a closet to JUST KISS ALREADY, but that's another matter.
Current plans: Mostly looking to kick up some new CR and reconnect with older friends! If anyone needs a blunt asshole that's too clever for his own good and Punch Good, Ed's ya guy!

Character: Chip Abaroa demonpuppy
Permissions: Here!
Tell us about them: Chip is a silly little kid from a modern fantasy world (same one as Erika! They're family) that has demonic ancestry and more than a few issues because of it. They're generally curious and cautiously friendly, though it doesn't take much for them to get defensive or suspicious. Chip also has an unfortunate tendency to charge straight into trouble that might cross their path and double down on Very Bad Decisions, though they do at least admit to when they've done a bad. Or even admit it when they haven't actually screwed up! It's kind of a problem.

Chip has been gaining confidence during their stay here, but with some of their CR having left the island they're kind of on wobbly ground. They hang around the Denny a lot and explore the beaches plenty, but there's only so much a kid can do to distract themself.
Current plans: Do you want a friend? Of course you do! Grudge matches are also more than welcome, you gotta have someone you can get into an embarrassing baby-fight with.

Anything else:

Zidane and Ed explored that last area so they'll know each other by now. We could have some stuff following that if Ed needs new CR. Also Zidane is good with kids including bratty ones so he's happy to be an older friend to Chip if they need friends.

I'm super down for both of those! I can tag Zidane on the intro later.
