Intro / CR Meme / Extra Notes


INTRO / CR MEME

Welcome to Expiation, where the points aren't real and absolutely don't matter. But you do, and we're happy to have you! Please note that this intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Please note that all players / characters accepted in March are exempt from the March AC. For everyone else, March AC is due by 31 March, 2023. Halfway through the day AC closes, we will give one (1) warning on both plurk and the OOC community for anyone who hasn't submitted (this will also be linked in the player-run discord).

To give you a very general overview of how the upcoming timeline will be...

17 March - Event #1
31 March - Character Action Poll for Event #1 (This will be further explained on the event post.)
14 April - Results of Action Poll for Event #1 + Game Environment Alterations
15 May - ATP / Enable Me for Expiation's TDM #3
19 May - Event #2
22 May - TDM #3

Where are the reservation / app dates for our next cycle? Our poll is still being used and looked at. At present, most participants don't have a preference on how we adjust dates to better suit [personal profile] enablemeplz, which is posted the second Saturday of each month.

With that said, we currently have more votes for 1 week forward, rather than 2 weeks, which would place reserves to open on 03 April, and applications to open on 10 April. We will, of course, adjust this accordingly as we get closer to the end of the month.

One more reminder:
After this upcoming app cycle, our TDMs, Reserves, and Applications will open on a bimonthly schedule, opposite of event months.

This means the next TDM, Reserve, and App process will begin at the tail end of May 2023.



EVENT NOTES:

The Short of It:
The units used to preserve food in Aldrip have malfunctioned and Aldrip's townspeople face starvation. Characters are encouraged to lend a hand in the crisis, though of course, can choose not to. (Don't be that person. Or do...! We're not your parents.)

Prompts Include:
đź§Š Fixing the refrigeration units. Potential electric shocks during repair.

🍳 Cook a thing. Burn a thing. Hunt some animals. Fish some... fish? Dry / smoke some food? Have a large, improvised grillfest? Please feed the people. They are probably hungry.

🤝 Travel through Pessiria Forest with Aldrip locals to meet the Rumpiturians and barter for goods. (TW: They're a people with snake-like features. There will be reference links.)

đź’° Alternatively, steal supplies from the Rumpiturians instead of bartering. Or steal some of their other things. (TW: They are still people with snake-like features.)

đź‘» Pessiria Forest creepy things. No one will be outright hurt by this. Select characters sensitive to ghostly, phantom apparitions, and related will have nightmares regarding the forest for an undetermined amount of time.

âť“ The party returning from Pessiria will be minus some people (read: locals, not Chosen; this will tie into a future event). Speculate, count heads, do whatever you need to in order to sleep at night.



Until then, please make use of the below form for all of your intro and CR meme needs! In the future, we will include a Table of Contents section that will contain intro links for all of our new players for convenience.

Hello! I love playing him off of Nikolai! He is a terrible joy and I enjoy throwing Seimei his way. People that unnerve everyone are so good!

[personal profile] emyoji 2023-03-14 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Seimei will gladly hang around to spectate and learn from him without wanting to do any of the hard work. Although he's there to play tricks and shoo away other troublesome people! He can be a social helper in exchange for food!

Thank you for giving me that great thread! I really think they managed to connect and I'd love to see more of where they go. I'm definitely down for more in this upcoming stuff if you are.

/sticks a tentative leg out

Hello! I'm somewhat casual bsd-enjoyer (haven't read the most recent chapters buuuut I think I have gist of what's going on lol). I can't promise friendship (probably the opposite, oops) but maybe some sympathy over the whole being manipulated and used by others? Also, anger management issues bring people together?? :D

eeeeeeexcellent. likewise, let me know if you want me to avoid MHA spoilers - I'm already planning to avoid the "the anime hasn't gotten this far and it's only in the manga" kind as much as I can (until the next season catches up) and I can work around the "big story beats" kind on request!
orphne: (Kotone 261)

[personal profile] orphne 2023-03-15 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
i'm totally good with spoilers! MHA is one of those series that i keep meaning to watch/read and simply never get around to, so i'm totally fine with any of the story beats!

Definitely not doing any crimes... on the record, anyway.

YES omg if he comes by her shop for some mending, would she have it there, or is it living in her inn room- he can drop by there easily, too.
theleadingman: (49)

[personal profile] theleadingman 2023-03-15 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
... well, that is a form of diplomacy, perhaps.

YES that sounds great to me across the board! Do and farmboy event plans are a go.

Player: Terra
Contact: PM, Discord (I’m more responsive here), or hit me up at [plurk.com profile] timescars.
Anything Else?: Constantly tired, very clumsy. I feel like I love a lot of different things but then forget them right when I need to talk about things I’m interested in. Some fandoms I’m into are Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Doctor Who, all the Finals of Fantasies, Ace Attorney, Persona 4, and Star Wars! I’ve been diving back into reading as of late so hit me with your recs for anything sci-fi, fantasy, or just generally heart-wrenching destroyed your life when you finished it books.

Character: The Doctor (12)
Canon: Doctor Who
Canon Point: Right after Last Christmas where he told Santa to shut up, but was reunited with Clara.

Crime: Affecting the lives of others and spinning the wheel of their fate.

Background: The Doctor is a Time Lord who’s been around for 2000+ years. Technically he was supposed to end his regenerative cycle of lives with his last face (AKA Matt Smith), but thanks to some clever begging by Clara, he now has another set of twelve lives to cycle through. Fun! This particular version of him is pragmatic, blunt, less grumpy (but still quite grumpy), and starting to thaw out a little in terms of personality (ie. quite possibly on the verge of a mid-life crisis). Consider him your eccentric, socially awkward but kind grandpa/uncle/professor who is very into rock music.

Abilities: Being a Time Lord means he’s not your average old man looking human despite looking a lot like one. He’s got two hearts (which probably doesn’t do him much good here), an incredibly large brain (which can be annoying or useful depending on the situation), and psionic powers. This can include but is not limited to, sending messages over short distances, mind linking with someone, and in rare instances, scramble or completely wipe someone’s memory. I will usually err on the side of not using these unless we’ve discussed it beforehand, but if you’d like to opt out of this, please comment here!

Other miscellaneous powers include sword fighting, being a regular ol’ handy man, and being a general menace. He rarely does any actual doctoring.

Plans:
— Event plans include doing some handyman maintenance in and around Aldrip. He’ll probably try to make the fridges better, stupider, or both. While he personally wouldn’t go out of his way to steal, I’d find it hilarious if he accidentally stole/was coerced into stealing. Please get him into trouble. And sign him up for those spoopy ghosts.

— General plans include potentially starting a collection of myths and fairytales from everyone here! He’s got plenty to tell himself, but what’s a time traveller if he doesn’t learn from the others around him considering he’s currently sans a time machine? He’s pretty tempted to start exploring the rest of Aldrip and see if there’s anything else to uncover about the surrounding areas that isn’t on the maps; specifically he’s curious about the rest of the locals in this world.

— CR wants include any and all! I’ve kind of tossed him around a little bit but admittedly haven’t done as much as I would have liked to with him yet.

idk what i want but i want it

HANDYMAN MAINTENANCE? EXPLORATION? strictly speaking, marc isn't curious about the locals as such, although he is still curious as to whatever the fuck is actually going on. he's curious as to why, like, there's no other groups that are so like theirs.

...also marc would absolutely, 100% not contribute to any myths or fairytales unless they're, like, weird religious myths (and some ""myths"") because that's just the type of charming guy he is

truly the dumbest thing that could actually happen is if they brought on a monster attack with the strongly-spiced food. which would be hilarious, and i would welcome it
oracledriven: (calm; finally a smile icon omg)

[personal profile] oracledriven 2023-03-15 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, let's throw these two together and see what happens! he's very cagey when it comes to talking about the "last human" thing , but i'm sure they'll have plenty more to do before long
