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. |
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.

Noel Kreiss ⭐️ Final Fantasy XIII
Canon: Final Fantasy XIII
Canon Point: After fighting Lightning in Lightning Returns
Crime: Reckless endangerment 🥲
Background: Noel comes from a post-apocalyptic future timeline where humanity has almost died out, leaving him the last living human at eighteen years old. And things just go downhill from there. He's been through a lot at this point, and due to Wild Timeline Fuckery he accidentally killed a god, resulting in 500 years of hellish limbo, which kind of made him bitter and guilt-stricken. He's had a little bit of sense knocked into him, so he's going to be...trying hard not to brood and overall be A Major Downer. Underneath all that angst, he's a fairly cocky do-gooder who just wants to help and is very good at telling people off, while also being kind of an idiot.
Abilities: Standard Final Fantasy spells, meaning he can sorta set you on fire and then heal you! FF13-2 is also the Pokemon Final Fantasy, so he'll have the ability to temporarily train and use monsters in battle. This is going to end so well.
Plans: he's brand new, so mostly I'm interested in developing CR for him! He's a little prickly right now, but he's also pretty curious. He comes from a timeline where there's just not...a lot of stuff, so he'll want to a, know what everything is, and b, try all the food. He's got a bit of a mouth on him too, which can make interactions fun and complex.

Aerith will do anything with him because that is the way she is. They only met once and she's pretty sure they're going to be friends.

Re: Noel Kreiss ⭐️ Final Fantasy XIII
If I had infinite time I'd be tempted to app in LightningI love Noel. I'm actually replaying FF13-2 though I need to get back into it. I got far too distracted by other things.

Lightning! that would be really interesting, given his canon point, lolAw, I'm glad. I was super stoked to see Galaxia on the TDM; I just recently finished a rewatch on Sailor Moon and it resparked my shojo interest something fierce.
