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.

laura, marc "moon man" spector
Contact:
Anything Else?: east london, bruv. i am a hideous stereotype — i have many tattoos, i drink only black coffee brewed in various time-consuming methods, i have one (1) black cat, i live in a converted factory building and cycling is my primary mode of transport (with a side of public transport, because it's london and it rains and i don't always wanna deal with that). does any of this combine to make me interesting? nah. soz.
i mostly read comics, play the occasional video games, attempt to draw and that is mostly it. work takes up far too much of my time and i am always tired. it's almost 5am, why am i awake? we just don't know. (work. the answer is work.)
Character: marc spector
Canon: marvel comics
Canon Point: mid-mackay run baby
Crime: he's a war criminal, bruh
Background: former us marine (dishonourably discharged), former cia, former shady!! fights!! boxer, former mercenary turned vigilante with issues with authority and religion and especially his dad. marc has struggles with mental illness and is the living avatar (""priest"") of an ancient egyptian god that may or may not exist (or rather, khonshu exists but whether marc actually is interacting with khonshu every time that he thinks he is, that's another matter. spoiler: he's not). marc has dissociative identity disorder — content warnings and an opt-out is located here!
marc is a giant fucking ball of guilt and self-loathing, like, all the time. he is also an asshole who tends to come across as a little bit off on account of the fist of vengeance thing. he's presently trying to be a better person but he's a person who, in his own words, has an addiction to violence. suffice to say, he is deeply dramatic and very committed to his bit.
he's very good at being INTENSE about everything.
Abilities: marc doesn't actually have any fun and exciting abilities himself. he is weirdly impervious to psionic abilities thanks to his khonshu (aka his mind's a mess). outside of that, he's good with his fists (oi oi), speaks a couple of languages (...nothing useful here), and ... that's about it??
Plans:
general — marc is, shockingly, not inherently social. he will be helpful in his own, very specific way and he will almost certainly continue to introduce himself as 'mr. knight' to 90% of people. he's big on protecting people! has a whole thing about doing it at night and has a very weird sleeping pattern (does he tend to sleep during the day? yeah. yeah, he does.) given a general and comparative lack of (violent) crime in aldrip, he's absolutely been busying himself with beastie killing.
event — fridge repairs! creepy forest? nightmares!! who knows! let's see!

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.)

HOWEVER. i'm so down for marc creeping in on him to make sure fyo isn't being murder on main, pls.

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
