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.)

πŸ’° 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.)

πŸ‘» 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.

ABSOLUTELY she doesn't really talk about spy stuff because well, spy stuff, but I'm 100 percent sure it'll pop up eventually in their conversation because she's not at home anymore so she can talk shit and not get in trouble

spice

for real though, i know we're handwaving the sparring bit, but I'd love for them to adventure together and to get into dumb shit that will get them into trouble

PEACH they have to go through the forest together!! Rin's OK with bartering because lol spy and assassin but with the two of them, they will be unstoppable

ayo let him cook tho

(they can batch cook together and be overall good people)

[personal profile] maiestas 2023-03-14 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
celes and rin can bond over being child soldiers :> but overall she's a very cheerful person, so maybe the two can become friends during the event! Rin loves to cook so Celes could def learn from her.

She's also recently opened up a tailoring shop so if Celes wants some clothes, she'd totally be down to make her some clothes.

The pancake enthusiast...

Aaaa yes! They can form a Dead Persona User Club with cool t-shirts and all that! Though I have to admit that it's been over decade since I played P3 and my memory of it isn't the best.

OH MANNN Astralin and Dohalim can go fishing together... and maybe he can teach him how to cook it after they fish.

I want them to meet during the event :> so I'm gonna bug you then

FWENDS... our tdm thread was so good and I want to consider that canon!!

they can absolutely farm veggies together... astralin will help shinji assimilate into cottagecore life.

honestly once he probably starts growing his veggies and flowers, he'll give shinji the surplus as gifts of friendship screams

I'M SO GLAD he's honestly a nice guy once he brings down those walls so I'm happy that Aerith and him get along so well. They should definitely get a flowerbed together so they can plant flowers to give to fwends...

i'm gonna drown YOU in CR

Player: Mir
Contact: I'll probably respond faster to DMs. There's also [plurk.com profile] encrelapin but I'm never on topic for long.
Anything Else?: I'm in EST (GMT-5). I'm a very normal citizen with a very average job irl which kind of explains a lot about the characters I choose to play.

Character: Nikolai Gogol
Canon: Bungo Stray Dogs
Canon Point: Manga chapter 98β€”The anime isn't there yet so let me know if you'd like to avoid spoilers!

Crime: Humanity

Background: A common enough fandom term of endearment for him is "murder clown" and it isn't a stretch.
Nikolai is one of five major players in a terrorist organization that specializes in murder. Said organization had world domination-like plans Nikolai did a lot to facilitate... Until he did-but-also-didn't for his own purposes. Everything comes down to "proving the existence of a true free will" with him. You probably will see him do some mental gymnastics over it.

Besides that Gogol is just some lil guy who is in a silly goofy mood.

Abilities: I have a opt-in for The Overcoat up now. Please feel free to opt-in to shenanigans here. There is a general opt-out here because BSD is a series that tackles a lot of dark themes ngl.

Plans: Gogol can achieve extreme heights in violence and destruction but he's not mindless about it. In addition to the heeheehoohoo face he is a deeply existential man. Since it looks like "[crime] repercussions may affect all of the Chosen, not just the ones committing said crimes." I think it may be interesting for people with good sense (of any alignment really) to catch on to that with Gogol and run some r...redirection(?). I live off of interesting CR whether that's positive, neutral, or negative doesn't necessarily matter. Dazai only has two hands but three castmates causing problems so please take pity on the man ok

As for Event Plotting:
🧊 I'll be honest I don't think Gogol knows how to repair this kind of thing. BUT he does have the ability to access things in otherwise inaccessible spaces so :}? More importantly I'm always happy to have someone get zapped repeatedly for comic effect.
🍳 Hey I want the excuse to put him in a ridiculous apron and perhaps even a silly little chef hat. Thank you for your understanding.
🀝 Negotiating with terrorists or stealing... get you a man who can do both. Because stealing is hypothetically on the table I figure it would have ramifications so I'd really like to plot this out well if it did happen.
πŸ‘» Is he actually screaming in genuine fear? You decide!

???:
Don't let the heart censorship fool you. That is another man's leg.

oh yes, Astralin needs a mom friend...

But he's also a healer! So he'll definitely come and help out when needed. His skills are a bit nerfed here, but his healing spells can still heal somewhat SO!!

let me throw this awkward, and pretty shy dude at Noel... he totally understands a species dying out so they can possibly bond over that, if the conversation arises.

[personal profile] scythedance 2023-03-14 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
it's fel again with a new character and i'ma need more CR with you.

he'll definitely help out cloud with trying to fix the units. He's pretty good with his hands, and can help out with that sort of thing.

cloud and astralin are pretty similar in personality, so they'll probably understand each other and get along v. well.

corvus!! i'm so happy to finally meet you officially. I've been enjoying our tdm thread and would love to consider it canon.

but HMM they're both awfully similar so perhaps they can do domestic tasks together, and cook. just overall be Good people

Ahhh! It's lovely to meet you too- Astralin is absolutely amazing, and I'm more than down to make the thread canon!

I could see that being a fun time for them both. Honestly, once MΕ‚ynar learned that Astralin has dark forces chasing after him, it woke up his protective-knight side. He's earned himself a faithful guardian.

He just sort of does that. He's a horse-uncle with a few adoptive wards that he'll *go to war for.*
(apologies for the strange edit- handsfree typing can be awful sometimes)

yessss definitely! Peter's cooking skills cap out at grilling, but it sounds like that's actually going to be a useful skill for once

they are just a pair of nice people c: helpful team! stealing is bad (unless they deserve it)!

I'd love to! I loved that thread and how they play off each other personality-wise, so I am all for more interactions between them. Let him nerd at you, Noel~
