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.

no subject
Pronouns: she/her
Contact:
Anything Else?: SUP HELLO EVERYONE FRESH NEW FACE HERE. I'm Hannah! I plurk a lot about my fandoms, which are generally tokusatsu, Pokemon, and whatever else I'm currently obsessing over. I am also a known fox lover and will generally post pictures of foxes whenever I see one that makes me smile, which is frequent.
I am also prone to migraines and as a result my sleep schedule is, uh, a roulette at best, so my active hours are a mystery to everyone! Even me!
Character: Fauna
Canon: Original!
Canon Point: About two weeks after her big fight with the hero, finally letting her turn good and become a hero. Sort of.
Crime: Attempted Destruction of Human Society. (It's okay, it was only 'attempted', not succeeded.)
Background: hahahah. uh. A lot of the details of her actual story would require some CWs, so here's the broad strokes:
She's an angry fightgirl from a verse based on tokusatsu- Kamen Rider or Power Rangers, if you know those. She had an extremely rough life, lots of bad things happened, and she ended up making a wish on a goddess to make a 'just world'. This was a bad plan, but unfortunately, Fauna has literally no plays in her book other than 'double down'.
So she acted as a villain for a while, showed up, made monsters, destroyed monsters, the works. But she actually is a good person underneath it all, so she was eventually convinced to try to make up for it and become a proper hero instead.
Also, she's trans, but got the most metal magic transition in history. She's also got fox ears and a tail (usually), but those are unrelated.
Abilities: She can transform into an armored superhero form! Except that it's not really armor, it really is a transformation. She has her base monster form which is just strong and nimble, but she also has an onmyouji form, a ninja form, and a samurai form, with a bunch of relevant powers to each one, each with different animal motifs.
Plans: The biggest thing is she does not trust easily! She is extremely ready to throw down all the time, and tends to assume ulterior motives in most people. As a result, she's likely to prefer trying to live on the streets rather than trust Aldrip's houses. She's also trying to steal food and get by that way. So it's probably a long and painful process, but I would like her to slowly become less feral! Learn to trust people and become a better person overall, and actually gain stable living conditions.
Also, I like playing with the dichotomy of how angry she is but also how she genuinely cares and feels strongly about justice and wants to do good.
How can you run into my character? Living on the streets, pickpocketing, she's pretty easy to find, though quick to run away as well! If you want something stolen or just want to run into a foxgirl sleeping in random areas, these are both fine.
???: I have a page full of art references! I'm learning to draw, so I have drawn a ton of her, and threads that grip me by the brainstem are likely to end with me asking permission to doodle it.

she mostly can't do it while untransformed but we can definitely arrange for them to meet while she is in Ninja Mode. the funny thing is that she has no clue how her powers work. and hasn't realized that her ninjutsu are mostly bad puns.
that said, if my memory does not betray me, he might be alarmed to meet a ninja in a big owl mask. animal masks were never a good thing in naruto, right.
no subject
jutsu as puns is funny though, kakashi like "is this person messing with me or............"
but yeah they should meet!
no subject
also I may need to draw icons for that form but frankly I've been putting that off for too long anyway
no subject
oohoohoo yes draw the thing, you know you want to B)
no subject
I SHALL. hopefully. assuming I don't break down crying because owl faces at funny angles. how do you draw those. why did I make an owl theme mode. how do owls work.

no subject
i am unfamiliar with charles but i'd be down to throw them together anyway!
no subject
meanwhile, the tl;dr for charles is he's a ghost detective who's like a golden retriever puppy most of the time except when his anger issues break through oops. c":
no subject
oh the inverse of fauna then! anger issues except when the puppy breaks through. fauna is, uh, pretty superstitious about ghosts and probably want to help him rest in peace if she can tell he's a ghost, though. ghosts sticking around the mortal world is how you eventually get all kinds of nasty ayakashi!!
no subject
and amazing, love this for them tbh. charles is pretty open about the fact he's dead though you can't tell it by looking at him... but he'd be down for comparing ghost facts since in his world you can be a ghost and not be a danger to your surroundings! if she's freaked he'll just be that much more determined to win her over, oops. he be like that.
no subject
actually, no. the real funniest part is that technically one of her power sets is based on onmyouji, so you'd think she could do exorcisms, but she actually has no fuckin clue how any of that shit would work.
basically friendship from both of them would go extremely hilariously.
