OOC INTRO ( DECEMBER )

OOC INTRO: DECEMBER

State of the Game
Hello again, islanders, and welcome newcomers! November saw the introduction of our first island outside the mainland, Monsun, which has brought tides of change both good and bad to the relationships between our player characters, between NPCs, and more! We heavily encourage newcomers to read up on the psychological effects of Monsun, as this will be relevant in the intro log. 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 December 3rd. Until then, a few quick points:

1. Deaths. Remember that, in the event that your character perishes, to let us know so that we can take a note of it, whether or not it counts for your character's total death count! If you're having trouble thinking of a penalty, we can definitely provide one for you. Remember to use the Deaths page for Death Penalty removal as well, once that time is up!

2. Communication. Due to some resourcefulness and the ingenuity of our resident Severs-the-Threads player (stoleyoursweetroll), we have a beautiful new network community (lifenet) for your use! Bear in mind that the network currently operates in more of a bulletin board capacity, with all the benefits and drawbacks that entails! Be sure to join this new comm if you haven't already!

3. AC. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people to tag their characters in the comms. This is the only compulsory form of AC we have, but after the first few months, we are going to stop warning people for forgetting to tag their character. Characters who fail AC will be swept. An additional reminder, also, to make use of the drop post should your time with LifeAftr come at an end instead of simply idling out!

In the meantime, feel free to use this post as an OOC intro and CR meme for the month of December - 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: Sam
Contact: skyheron, or discord: sam#4924. Or hit either journal.
Tell us about yourself: EST, here in sunny florida and being a dude (He/him) that's swapping majors. Pardon my dust as holiday stuff kicks off (gonna be a big year because we're celebrating more than just the holiday).
Permissions: Hinata | Keith
Tell us about them:

Hinata Hajime (thisisourfuture): Hinata is a mostly typical japanese highschooler if you look past he's seen a lot of death and violence. He carries a lot of horrors in him but keeps soldiering on. He reaches out to others to under them and the world around him.
Keith (focusedroar): Keith is a hybrid of human and alien, with a mix of problems that he keeps on the down low (not always successfully). He can be moody, argumentative, and too fixated on the end results. But in a scrape, he'll be right there to back you up.
Current plans:

Hinata - Getting a top level up for him when I have freetime. He's doing pretty poorly as all that stuff he normally keeps inside is just rearing up. You can meet him at his worse, a stressed mess of issues and anger or his best. Either way I'm building up to him facing truths he's not been asking for.
Keith - Fresh as a daisy and focused as a blade. I'll see how things stand when he's unleashed before I make too many plans.
Anything else:

If anyone who tagged him in the tdm wants to keep cr, you have a blanket permission.

After the TDM, Yuka owes Keith a conversation about why are you so intense and so good at knives

What have you seen, Keith

[thermalwind]

The stories he will never tell. well, he'll admit he is intense but when everything could be a trap/trying to eat your face off kinda good to be focused on survival.

[alittleditty]

lbr I'm looking forward to any of the possibilities of ours interacting with each other and how that could go. Like... I literally can't think of any combination that won't be fun to see some way or another. /)'u'(\

[thermalwind]

I'm super looking forward to it too! I'll find a way we hit something/have stuff going on before I update hinata.

[alittleditty]

sounds good! Obviously Xion and Keith plotting of any kind will have to wait until we figure out what happens with newbies but on Tataru's side... well, she'll tackle newbies in general, and on Hinata's side if he comes back from Monsun at any point she'll probably tackle him because she wants to know what's going on and she did tell him this whole fussing thing is her job.

[thermalwind]

it's true she did! he'll definitely explain well uh a bit. he'll try to skirt around and then i lost my shit part of this whole tale.
