ENABLE ME PLEASE / PLOT WITH ME AUGUST 2024
ENABLE ME PLEASE
Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!
We're now inclding an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.
The SOTG for August is HERE. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.
AUGUST TDM
AUGUST SUMMARY
DATABREACH UPDATE.
It's gotten worse. The glitches and issues that began in July are still in effect, and unfortunately, they seem to be ramping up. Glitches in August become more severe and also more persistent, happening with more frequency and longer duration. Some people may find the effects last longer or leave a lingering effect. Some may notice that the environment around them has lost quite a bit of its stability. The setting of Expiation as well as the local NPCs of Expiation can be affected, and those effects are nearly limitless, so long as they don't permanently damage the setting. Some ideas to get you thinking:
-Extreme weather. Temperatures and atmospheric conditions will begin to fluctuate wildly: one city block could be experiencing a severe heat wave, while the next block seems to be having a blizzard. Hurricane-force winds, torrential downpours, and hail may suddenly start up and then vanish, leaving only damage in their wake.
-Natural disasters may begin to affect small pockets of Aldrip and the surrounding areas. Earthquakes, severe storms, tidal waves, floods, and any other conditions you can think of are fair game, whether they exist in the real world or in fiction.
-NPCs may glitch in extreme ways. This could include a catastrophic failure (a "blue screen," if you will), or something much more personal, such as taking on characteristics or memories from loved (or loathed) ones back home.
-Entire buildings and blocks may change without warning. The residential district may become a desolate wasteland, or maybe the park across the street is suddenly a gigantic skyscraper. Maybe your home is now in outer space. How's the gravity in there?
-Thus far, the Chosen and locals have enjoyed the ability to communicate without issue. However, whatever allows them all to understand each other seems to be breaking down as well. Characters may find themselves unable to understand or communicate with each other, even speaking in languages they don't canonically know.
Remember: these are just ideas. The glitches experienced at this point can be anything you can think of, and we encourage you to get creative with these effects for your characters and for the setting!
IN SPITE OF GLITCHES...
Life continues on. As we've gone to around 60 players, we will be opening apps to both new and current players. New arrivals appear in the same timeframe as usual, but it may not be smooth sailing as they try to navigate a city rapidly descending into chaos.
Bon Odori begins on August 13, and with it comes a celebration of lights and remembrance. New and current Chosen are encouraged to both attend, and dress up for the occasion, whether they're used to wearing a yukata or not. There will be food, drink, activities...and certainly nothing could possibly go wrong.

Character: Ken Amada
Canon: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
About: I am planning on reapping Ken back. While I know he'll have a clean slate and make everyone really confused, I do want to start over again with him here. I'm really not looking at too much as I'm willing to try anything! Positive and negative CR are all good to go!
But tl;dr: He's an overmature tween who has too much shit going on for him. Now he wants to be regular teenager which may or may not have mixed results.

Now in the right spot!!!no subject
that's my son. my baby boy!!
Peter Parker | TASM
Contact: PM or
Character: Peter Parker
Canon: Post-The Amazing Spiderman 2
About: He's just a nervous little guy! Peter is a genetically-altered (enhanced) kid from Queens, a Spiderman a little to the left of the current MCU flavor; the canonpoint I'm considering taking him from is a few years post TASM2, right on the cusp of entering grad school, but before his appearance in NWH. This puts him at about age 24 and #suffering (what else is new?)
I promised I would throw him up on the TDM, but I'm still workshopping his crime. Something to emotionally devastate him and activate his guilt complex, no doubt. Potentially a 'Bad Samaritan' accusation?
If anyone wants anything with this bundle of anxiety, let me know!

That Fucking Guy (aka Ardyn) | FFXV
Contact: tentamenace @ discord/plurk
Character: Ardyn Izunia
Canon: FFXV
About: Behold, a disease that's essentially millennia of the built-up desire for ruination and despair shoved into some fucking guy who loves to hear himself talk and make that everyone else's problem! Ardyn is a lot of things, most of them bad, but also some of them are funny (to him) and isn't that what really matters.
Obviously, here for the negative CR and villainy but also open to whatever happens! He absolutely deserves to be in jail for his crimes, but he won't be happy about it either.

Character: Sora Ikushima
Canon:Tokyo Xanadu ex+, speficialy the 2017 release.
About: So I was here a week ago with Naoto, now I'm thinking of returning with another short blue hair. Fortunately for me, Sora is the opposite of Naoto and is more brawn than brains.
Not to say she's dumb. Cause she's not, but she is naive and sees the best in everyone. She'll smile and wish everyone she meets good morning. Sora's a happy sports girl, her dad runs a family dojo and sent her to Tokyo to live alone so 'she can see the world'.
...where she ends up being dragged into a monster labyrinth and gaining wind/electric powers.
I don't really have any plans in mind. Though seeing if someone can get actual negative CR with her might be funny.
???: uhhh, idk have a baby

Contact: it's me your local junpei & lorenz player.....
Character: Ling Yao
Canon: FMAB
About: Teenage emperor hopeful who's very good at sword, gymnastics, eating, and letting weirdos timeshare his body. He's smart and a little scheme-y but plays up being a big goofball to make people more comfortable. He is also a big goofball, genuinely. In Expi he would want to Investigate Mysteries... :thinking:
it's ling...you know him

A2 | NieR: Automata
Contact: larksong @ plurk
Character: A2
Canon: NieR: Automata
About: Reach into the dirt and pull out your local android. A2 is a former combat android in a never-ending war between androids and alien-made machines. After a mission where all her comrades died horrible she was basically abandoned by her superiors and considered a traitor and fugitive. So she lives in the woods like a feral dog, it's fine. Hates machines. Has never actually met a human. Somebody give her a bath
