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:
🧊 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.)

💰 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.)

👻 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.

❓ 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.

Hey, no worries at all! Life happens to the best of us- take all the time you need.

Also, I'm very much enjoying this idea! I can already see them looking at the youngsters causing problems everywhere and grumbling about kids these days.

I also recall that the Doctor is a pacifist of sorts (Haven't seen much since the David Tennant days), so I'm curious to see how he'll mesh with a soldier like Młynar.

I would love this! I've been meaning to hit up Joel, and this is a perfect opportunity. Let's steal some stuff. :> The situation demands it!

yes!!! they absolutely should


and also, like, sorry joel for how Weird marc can be. i feel like marc's ability to Do Violence would be a positive point for him in joel's book, but the rest of his whole deal would be a massive

uh

drawback

S A M E

and also yes, however if it gets to philosophising about murder, marc will very much be 'wtf, no' and it would also be a very good way for fyodor to shoot to near the top of marc's mental 'keep a motherfucking eye on this dude' list.

(how? probably by making impromptu appearances like this and sending Weird messages to check-in at random times because that's just

marc for you.)

after all this time, the doctor will meet marc in an outfit that actually isn't his three-piece suit because it's actually really hard to keep it clean and, like, he doesn't have an entire wardrobe of the exact same suit here like he did back home. it's terrible, truly :(

just to be absolutely transparent, marc is 100% better at exploration and destruction than he is at any kind of maintenance or fixing literally anything, which is to say trying to fix a fridge would mostly involve him getting annoyed. he used to have people1 to fix things!!!

Anything Else?: I'm a very busy guy, currently running a job, an internship, and finishing up a master's degree. My tags and replies might be slow, so I appreciate it if you keep that in mind. That being said, my interests are philosophy and theology, and when I'm not being a snobbish asshole, I'm into horror and video games. I especially love rpgs, with some of my favorites being Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, and old school Shin Megami Tensei.

Character: Eiji Biwasaka
Canon: Caligula Overdose
Canon Point: Post accomplice ending

Crime: There's a variety of crimes Eiji is guilty of. The one he is guilty of here, however, is patricide for having murdered his father in a burst of rage.

Background: A charming, intelligent gentleman on the outside, Eiji is a charming, intelligent gentleman who is also a psychopath on the inside. A defense lawyer of notable skill and pedigree back home, Eiji takes joy in his ability to manipulate and wield the law as a tool, seeing it is as sign of how much he's above other people due to the fact he's skilled at manipulating such a foundational point of society, and rests in a position of authority that lets him do so. Driven by self gain, Eiji is willing to dive into the unscrupulous as a means of benefitting himself, while putting on a much friendlier and law abiding face on the surface. Eiji operates under a Nietzschian philosophy in regards to the concept of Ubermensch (overman, or superior man) - which he regards himself as - and personal meaning making. He has little ability to empathize with others, and while he doesn't tend to mean others ill will (unless they anger him, at which point he absolutely means them ill will) he isn't opposed to hurting others to get his way.

That being said, Eiji isn't simply a brute hiding behind the façade of a gentleman. There is a truth to his exterior that is held within the interior - decorum, polite behavior, and the mannerisms of high society are important to him. He believes in reciprocation, whether that is helping him or harming him. While he sees the great majority of people as below him (in truth, he really only sees his partner, Ritsu, as comparable to him, if not somewhat above him at this point), he his sociable a lot of the time. Eiji isn't a people person as much as a people pleasure, which is a face he puts on to do his best to lure others into thinking he's far kinder than he actually is. He'd work in a group if that's most beneficial and would do what work he can, because the group succeeding might be necessary for him to succeed in that case.

Abilities: While it's never fully explained in game, Eiji seems to have some form of pyrokinesis. It's uncertain how Eiji came to have this, but it seems to manifest when he's incredibly angry. Along with this, Eiji was bestowed powers that activate based on his emotional state in canon. These are easiest to explain with what's in his app.

Plans: At the moment, Eiji is still getting settled. I'd like to meet people he could possibly work with, both those who'd be taken aback by his sociopathic and cutthroat nature, and those who couldn't. Eiji is far happier with the people he's seen here so far than the last few places he's been, so hes willing to be chattier.

As far as the current event, Eiji believes on self-reliance and has learned some cooking skills. He'll be helping with cooking, so if anyone would like to taste his food, or (to his annoyance) offer tips, that'd be great. He'll also be going to see the naga. Eiji will want to actually talk with and set up relations with the naga. If he caught anyone stealing, he'd likely confront or even report them. Eiji isn't morally opposed to taking advantage of the naga by any means, but doing so so earlier and so blatantly is astonishingly dumb and can only hinder the group, and himself, as a whole.

Yeees, definitely! I love knight-type characters expressing and grappling with what the principles of knighthood are and how to fulfill them when their world isn't interested in them, or when they've been twisted into something else.

Oh man. Ethlyn's feelings on her kids are a little fraught right now, because another Choice she made was to bring her two-year-old daughter close enough to the battlefield that she was also caught up in the ambush that kills Ethlyn and her hubby--so she has no idea if her daughter is alive and her infant son is now motherless. :'D And so she would do her best to carry on a normal conversation not talking about those particular circumstances, but it would probably... not last very long. (Which is to say I'M ALL FOR having them talk about kids and she really will commiserate over the normal part of the woes! Knighthood + parenthood is no easy thing.)

Kids these days indeed but also...in before the Doctor is also out there causing some trouble. It really does depend on which side of the bed he wakes up on.

Funny you say that because! Twelve starts off his arc completely disliking soldiers but at the canon point I've taken him from he's seemed to cool off a bit. He's also a little more pragmatic about things than Ten and Eleven were.

Anything Else?: I am a /jennamarblesvoice ☆~32 yEaR OlD lAdY~☆ that runs on a PST schedule in a healthcare setting and I sometimes require an IV drip of black coffee to stay afloat. All that to say I apologize for being slow,,, and if my tags ever do not make sense, please feel free to power cycle me for clarity. My sense of humor ranges anywhere from gallows to Whose Line is it Anyway quotes, so while I resonate deeply with the opener, please don't hesitate to drop my ass if I make a joke so terrible you have to step away. Roast me for my shitty ass puns, I'll agree with you.

Character: Satoru Gojo
Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen
Canon Point: Trapped in the Prison Realm aka Go Directly To Jail Do Not Pass Go Do Not Collect $200 aka Jackass in the Box

Crime: Boring old murder :/

Background: Overpowered Mary Sue in a blindfold teaches kids that it's okay to stop being nice and urges them to go apeshit. Strongest sorcerer of his generation, and professional pain in the ass. Has gorgeous Billie Eilish Ocean Eyes which is the weirdest flex from the animation team, but I personally think he looks like a Furby.

Abilities: I'M NOT TYPING THESE AGAIN I'M ALREADY EMBARRASSED THE ABILITY SECTION IS NEARLY AS LONG AS HIS NON-EXISTENT PERSONALITY

Plans: I'mma level with all y'all, he is here to make Nanami Kento's life a living hell and I Will make increasingly escalating dick jokes at his expense and everyone else's expense if I can help it. If I do not get at least one anon HMD comment reminding me that penis jokes do not good rp make, I will consider my life forfeit and proceed to throw myself into the sea.










That being said, he's good for hijinks and tactics. As his powers have Limits now, anyone who can knock him down a few pegs and remind him of his own mortality and humanity is fantastic! People that can roll with his troll wavelength, please... get things done... kill god together... share a typical Tuesday afternoon together... I am that Nerd that likes to come up with elaborate starters for very stupid jokes and I apologize.
