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 ([personal profile] stoleyoursweetroll), we have a beautiful new network community ([community profile] 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!

Tell us about yourself: My preferred pronouns are she/her, I'm EST, and am currently trying to kick my butt back into tagging gear after falling behind for awhile. I backtag into infinity though so if you're fine with that, we're gonna have a good time!
Character: Commander Shepard [personal profile] tenthstreetbred
Permissions: Here is Shepard's permission post. Feel free to give it a look over!
Tell us about them: Commander Shepard is a space marine from the video game series Mass Effect. She's strong, capable, and has an unfortunate tendency to sacrifice her own well-being for the greater good. Shepard has been adjusting to the island life a lot better now that there is more for her to quote unquote do. All the same, it still gnaws at her that she's not back home, especially since she knows that back home is frozen but is kind of torn over how much good she would even be doing going back. It's all very complicated for her, poor dear.
Current plans: Shepard finally seems to have friends here, but she can absolutely go for more! Negative CR is also welcome. What I'd really love for her are more people who can slowly drag it out of her what exactly happened back home and who she was there. She's been trying to be lowkey about that for awhile.
Anything else:

I've enjoyed what we've done so far, and I feel like Shepard and Roy are people who could get along reasonably well given the opportunity. There's definitely a "things are hell back home" vibe for both of them...

Oh definitely!!! I don't know like, anything of his canon, but DND always has a wild way of making things Very Difficult so these two could commiserate over a lot! Even if he's more Lawful Good and Shepard is Trying to be Lawful but mostly ends up a bit neutral and/or chaotic.

Ha ha, interesting fact: Roy got called on the fact that he'd done a lot of not-exactly-Lawful acts in his time when he was being judged for his worthiness to enter the afterlife. And the thing that earned him entrance was the fact that he was trying. So they could have a fair bit to talk about indeed.

Aw man, I'm excited for more of these two!!!

LMFAO amazing, Roy, never lose that snark

So did Shepard make it to Monsun? Otherwise we'll have to hunt something when Roy gets back.

Yeah she did!! She's with two teenagers on the eastern side of the island, I think. The one with the forest. Though she ends up on the Western side later. She's Team Mom over there and is going to be pretty cranky lol

Roy's hanging out on the west, so they could bump into each other there given the chance.

[personal profile] tenthstreetbred 2017-12-05 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh yeah that could work! I need to figure out if I want to toplevel with her over there or just tag around, but if you've got something already up I'll be happy to hit that!
greatcleavage: (talky man)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2017-12-05 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not, but I COULD put something up if you need the opportunity. I know how it is when two people want to tag and neither top-levels. :D

[personal profile] tenthstreetbred 2017-12-05 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL YEAH IT'S A MOOD I'll let you know when I'm caught up on my inbox (I'm almost there, after forever!!!) if I'll put one up myself since you may not be the only person I want to hit up that hasn't topleveled for whatever reason
greatcleavage: (sometimes things do go right?)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2017-12-05 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not like I'm actively opposing your efforts to catch up on your inbox or anything...

[personal profile] tenthstreetbred 2017-12-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Lmao, I'm just excited, I have been so far behind in this game that it feels like a breath of fresh air to be this close to actually feeling like I can DO SOMETHING after so long of being buried under various things. That's why I keep mentioning it.
catpiper: (oh my god why is tequatl a thing)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-12-03 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
IF REN IS GOOD FOR ANYTHING IT'S BEING SUPER CURIOUS ABOUT PEOPLE so she would def ask about her previous life/things from her world?? I don't know if she could get all that info out of her, but gosh she would try.
tenthstreetbred: (Default)

[personal profile] tenthstreetbred 2017-12-03 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ren is a sweet, sweet angel so Shepard would have a much harder time brushing her off because just. look at her. She's Perfect
catpiper: (your brows will cut a man in half)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-12-03 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
she looks sweet but she's actually a little heathen that'll draw all over your stuff. tragic. Poor Shepard doesn't know. i'm so sorry. rip your stuff.

But NICE I'll be sure to slam into Shepard this month and get have her try to that juicy space commander info outta her.

[personal profile] tenthstreetbred 2017-12-05 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no, that's worse, Shepard loves heathens!!!!

yes yes PLEASE I've been meaning to snag some of that sweet Ren CR for awhile but then life comes in swinging into my apartment and then I have to fight it in hand to hand combat for a few weeks and lose track of everything lol
catpiper: (what is coral anyway)

[personal profile] catpiper 2017-12-06 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
SHEPARD YOUR TASTES ARE QUESTIONABLE??? HEATHENS WILL BE THE DEATH OF U
