PLOT WITH ME/INTRO MEME MARCH 2024
INTRO MEME
Welcome to Expiation and come on down! We're thrilled to have you here! 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.
The SOTG for March is HERE, with changes and where the game is going for the month. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.
MARCH EVENT
MARCH EVENT SUMMARY
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY
Characters wake up on the morning of March 11 to note a few things with relative immediacy. First, the weather is beautiful: warm, breezy, sunny. Second, all of the locals in Aldrip and the surrounds seem to have vanished. Third, these things seem totally normal to the Chosen–who now all believe that they are native to Aldrip.
That’s right. You’ve lived here your whole life. Everything you’ve ever known is this world.
Characters will go about their daily business in lives that they believe have always been like this. You’re free to choose any jobs, roles, backgrounds, and connections with other Chosen for your characters, so long as they believe that they have always lived in Expiation. All character powers are gone, or dormant, for most of the event. More on that later.
LOST AND FOUND
Occasionally, while going about their daily activities, characters will come across an item that seems strangely incongruous with the world they know. This will begin happening after the first few days of the event. A symbol particularly relevant to your character’s canon, for example, or a book. Watches, jewelry, cards, photos, small trinkets and tableaus–all of these are fair game.
Everything in your character will tell them not to look at these objects. Their entire being will try to resist them. If they do, the item disappears when they leave its immediate area. What item? They forget about the entire encounter. Strange.
Touching or interacting with these objects or moments will force a strange memory into their head–a memory of a past life, or a dream, maybe. These are your characters’ real memories, and as the event goes on, they will be able to either collect or ignore more of them. You’re free to engage with as many or as few of these as you like. We’ll ask on the event poll how many you interact with, and how many you ignore. The final count may have lasting repercussions on your characters and/or the world of Expiation, so please pay attention to the poll! Not all of these instances need to be threaded out.
There will be an RNG ELEMENT in this event, as well. Please note that characters who are picked for RNG have a small but nonzero chance that RNG effects could have a long-lasting impact on them.

astralin | original character
Contact:
Anything Else?: Non.
Character: Astralin Turnont
Canon: Original Character
Canon Point: Post war again, in modern times.
Crime: Necromancy.
Background: His whole history is here if you want to read it.
However, for the tl;dr, he's just a simple farmer who's family turned their back on nobility. He was set to be a prince, and his estranged family considers him a prodigy but he hates it!! But yeah, he was kidnapped and tortured as a young adult, and was rescued by his two partners. Then after he returned home, war broke out, and he was used as a healer in the war. Then war breaks out again in modern times and he's just tired of war man.
Personality wise, Astralin is overall a nice dude. Maybe a bit too nice at times. He really cares about people he's friends with, and he likes to take care of people. Basically likes to see the good in every one etc etc. He's also peak Dad. He has 4 kids with his two partners so acts like a Dad pretty often.
Abilities:
- Spirit Magic: He has the ability to take raw energy, and convert it into magic disks that he can throw. These disks can immediately vaporize his target, and basically cause a lot of destruction in his wake. He tries not to use this ability as much, as it uses quite a bit of energy and it's overpowered. It's basically nuclear powers. (Nerf: Maybe his disks can just simply burn things instead of vaporizing them.)
- Scythe Proficiency: His main weapon is a scythe. He can move around quickly, and do aerobic flips with his scythe to perform his attacks. There's a lot of spinning, and flipping involved with his scythe, so he has fun with it. There's also a weightless enchantment on the scythe to make it easy to move around with.
- Ice magic: Astralin can summon icicle spears with his ice magic, and use it as a throwing weapon. He can also conjure up an ice shield to protect himself or someone else if they're in trouble. General ice abilities, like diamond dust and ice spears. He has a creationism ability with his ice magic. He's able to create simple things, such as vases, flowers, ice sculptures, chairs, furniture and what have you. Just simple things like that. He is also able to preserve food and flowers by infusing his ice magic into those items.
- Restorative Magic: Astralin can bring individuals back from the brink of death, but at the cost of his own energy. He can use lesser healing spells. (Nerf in Expiation: can heal wounds, fractures and broken bones.)
- Monster transformation: What it says in the tin. Him and his brother can turn into an eldritch knight and dragon, but only when they're close to each other. (Unavailable in Expiation)
Plans: I don't have any solid plans as of yet, but I do want his memories to return via rewards. He's so frustrated that he can't remember anyone, and it's made him feel really guilty. But I would love for him to have friends, or CR he can be a Dad to.
As for the event, his AU would be a florist in the flowershop! I would also love for one of the younger characters in Expi to be one of his kids. He is very Dad like, after all.
How can you run into my character? Astralin is usually at the farm, now that he's back. He's trying to familiarize himself with the farm again, and the hot spring since he is the one that built both. If he's not at the farm, or hot spring, he's usually in Aldrip, feeding and luring stray cats onto his farm lmao. Sometimes at the tavern if he doesn't want to cook.
???: Hi I'm back. And with new icons too!
