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 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. |

laura | new guy shinjiro
Contact:
Anything Else?: all i do is go to work and come home to video games..... I teach middle school, so that's 80% of my time, but!! Fandoms!! I am an enjoyer of: Persona, Yakuza, Dragon Age, Jojo, The Locked Tomb, uhhh Pathologic?, Zero Escape... Trigun, recently. etc.
Character: Shinjiro Aragaki
Canon: Persona 3 Portable
Canon Point: Oct. 4, or: after he gets shot.
Crime: Involuntary manslaughter.....
Background: He's a grumpy teen with Issues. Or: local teen desperately tries to protect his friends, accidentally kills someone in the process, immediately is consumed by guilt and quits being a world-saver forever until he goes back on that, too. He has self worth low in proportion to how much he loves his friends, which is hyuge amounts, but he'll never admit it out loud because that's mortifying. He likes to cook. He kept a photo album of the team dog and no one else. He has resting jerk face and a mean right hook but under 1mm of Gruff Mean Guy he's the softest person on earth. He once pretended to be asleep to get out of a conversation.
So yeah! Shinji...
Abilities: Shinji has a Persona, Castor, which hits really hard and not much else. He has to shoot himself with a magic gun to summon this thing, in a very normal way to use abilities. He's also a really good cook and he hates being praised about it until he can fuss about it somewhere alone, like the bottom of the ocean or the moon!! Tell him he's a good cook.
Plans: ya boy desperately needs friends... he does well with the aggressively friendly type so that he can grumble about being pulled into Situations without having to admit that he enjoys the company. He's also an overprotective big brother type and, like, a mom? Like, he will make sure you eat your veggies? If you need this kind of energy in your life please lmk. He will also be your anime rival (tm) if you really want.
Re: the Event Snippets, obviously, he will be doing a lot of cooking. He can teach cooking perhaps?? Also ready and willing to march through a creepy forest to gruffly keep watch, etc. And... steal... he'll steal if needs must.
???: basic state of the shinji:

she'll help him cook! she's more of a baker but she'll be more than willing to help, if by "help" you mean, "tell everyone who walks by that they have to try this, oh, this? shinji made it, isn't it good-"
no subject

YES excellent, I am here for competitive moming. Also zzs definitely needs to be bullied into things like consuming anything other than alcohol, so you know. I foresee this going swimmingly.

Because... just saying Shinjiro is way more talkative than Squall and therefore, much easier to pester.

I hope that Aerith gets many more opportunities to annoy him (in the most affectionate of ways)!
If tougher ladies are more his thing, I have Kisara in my back pocket and she is very much the mom friend of her group, but really knows how to kick some serious ass.
