PLOT WITH ME/INTRO MEME MARCH 2024

[expiationmods]

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.

minato arisato | persona 3

[memori3s]

Player: Jin
Contact: Expi Discord or alaudarum, feel free to send a Plurk req if we have CR or you'd like some!
Anything Else?: Nice to meet you!! I'm Jin and in an EST timezone. I'm full work from home, so I'm generally around... tho my typical work day lasts anywhere between 10 to 11 hours 12 hours if shit hit the fan so tags usually come in the evening. Day is spent reading/writing words (bad) so I look forward to reading/writing words (good)... My coworker-roommate sleeps on my couch all day, very envious of the life she leads (she is dog so it's allowed). I like Persona (mainly familiar with P3 however), Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Fire Emblem, and some other stuff!!

Character: Minato Arisato
Canon: Persona 3
Canon Point: Post-canon/after final day of the game/iykyk

Crime: Negligence, but the terrible kind i.e. failure to do what even the average Joe would have done.

Background: Physical embodiment of "Nihilism: Nothing matters (existential dread) vs Nothing matters (fuck it we ball)." High school student who drifts through life and gets roped into others' shenanigans no matter how stupid they might be. His idgaf attitude and flagrant disregard for his own well-being can be alarming at times but!! He's genuinely quite nice so surely that counts for something... Minato def comes off as someone super unmotivated but little do you know he's juggling 500 different things because people asked him for help and... he can't think of any reasons to say no... It's less him being a people pleaser and more that he personally doesn't see any reason to say no. He's also a Wildcard Persona char which means he is walking around with several brain demons too.

Abilities: the Persona brain demons. He has 10 of them and they range from huge + somewhat concerning-looking to a tiny pixie. He's good with a sword too!

Plans:

Blackout: Minato will help out wherever he can! He has obtained a bunch of firewood from helping clear out someone's lawn in the February TDM. He doesn't have any survivalist skills but won't seem too fussed about the situation. It might not seem like it but any advice will be super appreciated by him, and he's pretty keen on returning favors. You scratch my back I'll scratch yours etc etc

Event: Nothing in particular..... I don't have any extensive ideas re: what his event-based self would be, but if you'd like him as part of your char's Aldrip-canon(?????) let me know!

Misc: If we tagged on the February TDM I'm happy to keep any CR that came out of it. We can definitely retcon things though if you'd like! I'm not 100% sure yet whether I'll have an open log this month, but I can absolutely drum up a reason for Minato to be anywhere.

Re: current plans, he'll be helping Sha-Ming bonobos with learning more about Aldrip's Fauna! But in general he's new, so Minato will mainly be settling in... Maybe taking up getting dragged into 50 part-time jobs/activities...

How can you run into my character? Literally anywhere!! Some easy spots would probably be the inn since he lives there, and maybe Astralin's farm?? He likes critters... Minato isn't really adventurous necessarily but he's around. 100% vibing.

[bonobos]

can't wait for them to be big STUPID

[memori3s]

[uh you know what he just left.gif] but also. Sha-Ming getting osmosis CR with high schoolers through Minato is cracking me up still

EDIT: ok but we really should cook something especially stupid for their March 11 event stuff

[bonobos]

i can’t believe sha-ming + minato brother era is real now

[chemex]

i have failed you by not tagging you yet but i am coming for you

[memori3s]

slides this across the table if you'd like.......

[chemex]

eyes emoji yaaaas when i am home from work i will cram this into my mouth

[laserguy]

minato!! i've also been enjoying their tdm thread together, so grabby hands at more cr between the two of them.

especially since he's dating kotone.

[memori3s]

Yes!! Another purse owner for Scott to hang out with... I'm sort of looking forward to Scott eventually learning Kotone and Minato are from the same world but different timelines because they're SO different from one another... I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying their TDM thread too!! We are working on leveling up their social link!!

[laserguy]

different timelines is always so much fun...... scott's been learning more about his comics self from the 616 quentin here so. :'|d

but yes ranking up social link!! i think scott will def be really interested learning about minato just because of that connection and everything

[scythedance]

i love me some minato -- i used to play a female minato back in the day in the smtdr

either way, i would totally love CR with them!! if he's around the farm, Astralin will definitely appreciate all the work he's been putting into it as well :>

[memori3s]

HOLDS ARMS OUT TO ASTRALIN... I'm not familiar with any of the dressing rooms since tbh I was really only active with dwrp maybe... as of last summer... but in any event!! Minato's been hanging around the farm a bit yeah! He likes chilling with animals so he's pretty fond of the place. In fact I can even wander into your toplevel at the farmhouse mingle, maybe that would be a good way for them to meet... much to consider...

[scythedance]

HOLDS ARMS OUT!! I would love for you to tag me actually ;u;/ If nothing sticks out we can just wild card it as well.

Do you mind if I add you on plurk?

[memori3s]

Yes!! OK I will def hit you up on your top-level! I took a glance at it and I do have a tag idea so we should be good there. Also yes feel free to friend req!
