PLOT WITH ME/INTRO MEME SEPTEMBER 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 September 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.
SEPTEMBER EVENT
SEPTEMBER EVENT SUMMARY
HIDE AND SEEKI AM LOSING CONTROL.
HELP ME.
HARD RESET REQUIRED.
Glitches persist, and in some cases, they somehow manage to get worse. How could they get worse? Aren’t they already bad enough?
As hinted by the entity on the network, there is a solution.
Characters will be given a directive: there are five access terminals somewhere in the world of Expiation. Each of these terminals is a piece of the puzzle; a part of the reset. Each of these terminals must be accessed and reset in order to make the glitches go away. But is that really all there is to it? Of course not.
The network presence gives the Chosen one single direction, almost a plea: find it and reset it. In theory, this should make the glitches resolve. But how? Several new locations will open up for this, through various different means of travel. These locations could take Chosen to far ends of the continent, currently unexplored territory. The goal is to find those terminals, but there may be other things they find in the process.
There is an RNG element for this event in the SOTG post. Just like the November 2023 event, your character could be altered, disrupted, or injured in some way, potentially permanently. You will not know what you’re signing up for in advance, as there are several different ways this plot could go. Please be aware of this when signing up!
DO YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR PROGRESS?
Per the entity on the network, resetting it will restore it to “factory default” settings. This means whatever care it has come to feel for the Chosen, as well as some upgrades put in place to make them more comfortable and successful, might disappear along with the glitches. On the other hand, not performing the reset means the glitches could get much, much worse, even going so far as to put the world itself in jeopardy.
This is where you come in. We don’t have a set ending for this event, because the ending will depend on what your characters choose to do. Will your character assist in the reset? Do they want to watch the world burn and deter others from setting things right, or even attempt to destroy the technology? Is there some other solution they can come up with that might solve their problems? There is an OOC discussion in the comments where you can throw out your own ideas and thoughts about what direction things could go in. We encourage you to talk with fellow players and come up with ideas, whether your character would suggest them or not.
There will be an IC discussion facilitated by this entity coming up at the beginning of September. We’ll include all potential solutions from both of these discussions on the September event poll, and results of that poll will help inform us as to what direction things go in.

Ekko // Arcane
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: PM, Discord (Jareman) or
Anything Else?: Hello! Firstly I am EST so my tagging usually consists after work in the evenings/weekends. My major fandoms are Final Fantasy, Arcane, Spy X Family, Chainsaw Man, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and I've recently gotten into Kaiju No. 8 as well! I'm also an avid gamer who plays a lot of Final Fantasy XIV along with other one's I am super excited for 16 on PC this month along with League of Legends (TFT nowadays), Monster Hunter and tactical RPGs. Sometimes my work weeks can lead to long hours as a carpenter so I vary from tagging back within a day or two to sometimes taking a little bit longer.
Character: Ekko
Canon: Arcane
Canon Point: Post Episode 9: Before his knowledge about Jinx bombing the Piltover Council and Silco's death.
Crime: Terrorism.
Background: A genius inventor who hails from the undercity of Zaun and leader of the Firelights. From a tender age the boy was known for his ingenuity and superior intellect when it came to tinkering with machinery of all kinds. Reserved in his disposition compared to the happy go lucky boy he once was acknowledged for. He aspires to save his home from the vicelike grip of the self appointed leader Silco; Ekko risks life and limb to achieve his newfound goals willing to put everything on the line.
Abilities: Please see here for a list of his abilities.
Plans: Since I'm coming off hiatus this month I'd like to get Ekko more involved again so I am definitely planning to have him join the masses in the exploration parties searching for the specific terminal he is instructed to look for. Considering his adept abilities with technology he will hopefully be able to secure a means of resetting said terminal he has been appointed to finding with the help of his fellow Chosen. I'd love for new and existing CR to join him in this endeavor to fix the glitching issues after he was subjected to them early on and does not wish a repeat performance (quite literally after his True Damage musical act).
Furthermore I have plans for him to reach out to the network this month about potentially setting up shop in the near future, specifically a mechanics garage which would allow the boy to work on his numerous inventions and maybe supply the citizens of Aldrip with various means of travel such as a one of his creations like the patented hoverboard or monocycle. Also someone please tell him about motorcycles because I would LOVE for him to work on one for himself as well.
How can you run into my character? Ekko currently is a busy little bug who has been spending his time aiding Jinx in her 'INX' project as her partner in crime behind the scenes, looking to instill faith in their entity throughout the Chosen to bring more into their fold in an effort to combat those who are in control here in Aldrip. On top of that he's recently acquired his own apartment so he's been decorating that to fit his personal style working on a graffiti mural similar to this in his living room. Besides that Ekko spends his spare time zooming through the city limits on his newly fashioned hoverboard that he finished at the end of the August, exploring to his hearts desire so he can pretty much be found anywhere within Aldrip at any given time!
???: I died laughing seeing this.
