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.

jinx ( arcane )

[opheliac]

Player: rebekkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Contact: bunchew @ discord; buttlet — feel free to add me!
Anything Else?: i'm in EST & my days off are every wednesdays & saturdays. the rest of the days, i work 2pm-11pm est.

note; my work of business is going through a remodel, and it won't be finished until may 24th. therefore my activity might be spotty, from extremely active to maybe nonexistent. i also have a medical condition and that also delays my tagging sometimes.

Character: jinx
Canon: arcane
Canon Point: end of s1

Crime: murder & illegal trading

Background/Personality:

Criminally insane, Jinx has a love for wanton chaos, destruction, and anarchy, and gets easily bored if these reckless urges are left unsatisfied for too long. Jinx isn't shown to think much about the consequences of her behavior and generally acts before thinking, which can lead to people getting hurt easily when around Jinx. While she is clearly a gifted inventor, Jinx is also extremely scatterbrained, forgetting scientific terms and instead imitating gun noises while she constructs her weapons.

Jinx is often portrayed to be hyperactive and very childish, complaining when she doesn't get what she wants and calling others by immature names, giving Vi nicknames such as "Fat-Hands" and "Stupid". With her carefree, self-centered attitude, Jinx doesn't care about money, order, or what others think about her and just destroys what she wants when she wants. Despite this, she still likes to get recognition for her many crimes and is capable of showing off to the Piltover police, knowing that no matter what goes down, she will always get away.

Despite her immature and silly demeanor, Jinx is still a significant force of evil and malice, even if in her crazed mind she sees it as a game. She would put on a veneer of a bubbly and energetic person, only to hide the hurt and trauma of past events. She's also very sarcastic, extroverted with a twisted sense of humor.

Abilities:

INHUMAN SPEED ➤ she has the ability to zip by faster than a normal human.
NHUMAN LEAPING — (HEADCANON) ➤ she has the ability to jump higher than a normal human/ good at parkouring.
HIGH PAIN TOLERANCE — (HEADCANON) ➤ can handle strong amounts of pain (unless you shoot or stab her a repeatedly).
HIGH SUBSTANCE TOLERANCE — (HEADCANON) ➤ whether with alcohol or drugs, it takes a lot for her to get a buzz or high.
HIGH METABOLISM — (HEADCANON) ➤ due to shimmer also being used as fuel, her appetite grew twice as much and needs to eat a large amount to feel normal.

---

Mental Illnesses:

🌕 SCHIZOPHRENIA — a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends.
🌕 PTSD — Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it.
🌕 SEPARATION ANXIETY — Anxiety Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is a type of mental health problem. A child with SAD worries a lot about being apart from family members or other close people. The child has a fear of being lost from their family or of something bad occurring to a family member if he or she is not with the person.
🌕 HALLUCINATION — a sensory perception (such as a visual image or a sound) that occurs in the absence of an actual external stimulus and usually arises from neurological disturbance.
DISSOCIATION — is a mental process where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity.

Plans:

BLACK OUT

jinx is not going to help anybody during the black-out. sorry not sorry. she is fed up with aldrip, the council, and probably with you too, lol. but in seriousness, jinx had it pretty rough last month (her own fault) and now that her punishment have been lifted, she will hardly be in aldrip at first. during the day, she will spend her time either at her TREEHOUSE in PESSIRIA FOREST or at the FLOWER SHOP to help silco (conflictresolution) with whatever that needs to be done. during the nightfall, she will be in aldrip and staying indoors with silco for protection.

---

SNAX VENDING MACHINE

the vending machine will be LOW IN STOCK WITH ITEMS THIS MONTH. due to the black-out crisis (and jinx being fed up), the vending machine filled less than usual. inside, there will be chips, cookies, bottles of water, and medical supplies. these items are scarce, so get them while you can!! no honey fruit this time, sorry.

---

MARCH 11TH/EVENT

for the AU, jinx will be her League of Legends counterpart: café cutie jinx.


for more picture reference of her appearance and a rough draft of her AU backstory, feel free to read HERE. her café will be called "THE PUUURRECT CUP" because puns are fun.

there isn't too much of a change between this jinx and the original in regard to personality and her chaotic behavior. the only key differences are: she will be a lot friendlier and nicer, and instead of her passion love for guns, explosions, and destruction, it's baking, making pastries, and coffee. jinx is still very chaotic but in the kitchen. she is also one of those bakers who will make very weird and wtf pastries decor because yes. but despite how insane they look, her food is extremely delicious.

this version will still have her mental illness, but because everyone in this AU knows everyone and been living here since forever, it's no longer a secret. unlike the original, not everyone is aware jinx can hear voices or sees things, etc.

[melnik]

I would definitely like to continue whatever this CR happening is...! Miller could be a regular at her cafe during the event for sure. He'll probably order the same boring thing every time, but she could always throw in a crazy weird pastry now and then to mess with him.

[opheliac]

i'm glad you are enjoying their CR so far! and i hope he is able to handle a crazy hyperactive super soldier and the shocking discovery that she is silco's daughter.

yay more customers!!!

[melnik]

He can, absolutely, haha! They're currently having a Dad Talk so he'll suddenly understand all of Silco's troubles when he puts two and two together... maybe. Anyway, I'm excited to learn more about her.

[laserguy]

ohh maybe for the au, maybe her and scott can be orphanage friends

[opheliac]

ooo i'm down with that! scott and jinx being besties!

[laserguy]

causing chaos in the orphanage smh

[opheliac]

forcing poor scott to be her taste tester too. but hey, on the plus side, she will get better.

[laserguy]

fjkla;ej the guinea pig

good thing they're friends!!

[scythedance]

they have yet to run into each other but :|a he's not a LICENSED therapist but he is there to listen...

[opheliac]

I read that he and vi are besties in the AU. And jinx and vi are pretty estranged with each other. Maybe he can help!

[scythedance]

he would absolutely help if he can!! he hates that they're estranged i'm sure, since he wants them to get along. maybe we can plot on discord or plurk? :O whatever works for you!!

[opheliac]

Whichever is easier! I don't think we have each other added on plurk.

[scythedance]

i'll go ahead and add you on plurk! :blobnod:
