Intro / CR Meme


INTRO / CR MEME

Welcome to Expiation! We're thrilled to have you here, new and old players alike. Please note that 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.

As a reminder, Expiation runs on bi-monthly events. Since the game has just opened in February, we want to give players and characters some time to settle into the area and get to know other characters as well. Please note that all players / characters accepted in February are exempt from the February AC.

To give you a general overview of how the upcoming timeline will be...

17 February - Day of Devotion Mini Event
27 February - TDM #2 / Reserves Open
06 March - Reserves Close / Apps Open
13 ~ 15 March - App Processing / Intro & CR Meme
17 March - Monthly Event


Until then, please make use of the below form for all of your intro and CR meme needs! In the future, we will include a Table of Contents section that will contain intro links for all of our new players for convenience.

Player: Froda
Contact: [plurk.com profile] frodabaggins, DM this journal, carrier pigeon...
Anything Else?: My plurk is a pretty random mix of RL and RP/fandom stuff. I consume a lot of media, so I'll potentially talk about a lot of stuff - aside from TLOU, I may talk about Star Wars, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, etc.

Character: Joel Miller
Canon: The Last of Us
Canon Point: the end of the first game.

Crime: Betrayal and kidnapping of a loved one! Good luck getting him to show you his paper!

Background: For anyone not familiar with the canon, Joel is a middle-aged traumatized survivor of a fungal zombie apocalypse. Yes, fungus zombies. He's not nice, nor is he particularly good, and he's emotionally constipated as fuuuuuck. Check his app if you want all the deets.

Abilities: He's just a dude, albeit one who's good at surviving.

Plans: The biggest thing is that Joel is going to need to find someone(s) that he wants to look after/protect/team up with. Otherwise, I'm open to all kinds of ideas, positive, negative, whatever. Whether he's even capable of any kind of "redemption" is pretty up in the air tbh.

???:
(Also if you want to avoid TLOU spoilers because you're watching the show just let me know. Joel is not especially forthcoming about himself, so spoilers will be relatively light anyway).

Hi Froda!! I'm Jans, I played TLOU1 back when it first came out and I am sooo excited to see Joel (and his crime!!)

Peter is so down for emotionally constipated friends. If you want a guy Joel can yell at as a means of friendship, he's your guy! Peter also has a daughter-figure at home who he recently picked up so maybe they can bond over precocious teens, who knows?

Oh yes they can make a dad club! (Joel will not make a dad club.)

In all seriousness, an annoyingly cheerful pal to bitch at would be awesome, maybe they can go monster hunting together sometime!
starguy: (Are you ready to go go go?)

Peter WILL make a dad club, while at the same time insisting he's not technically a dad so Joel is definitely getting drafted if/when that happens

Yes, perfect! He's so used to angry/broody friends who bitch and make fun of him. Plus hunting monsters together is a perfect bonding exercise! Good luck getting rid of him, Joel

Yes bonding!!! Joel will hate it!!!

Hi Froda, I'm Terra and I play the Doctor. I was so excited to see a Joel in the tdm; I'm so sorry that I fell off the wagon there with tagging but I'd love to see them interact more in the future what with being grumpy grumps (although the Doctor is a little bit more eccentric for sure).

I can't wait to tag more with you!

Ahhh yes I love all Doctors! Joel probably won’t but that’s just too bad for him, innit? They’ll just have to be grumpy at each other!

Grump sees grump and respects the grump. We'll will it into existence

So once upon a time, I borrowed a copy of TLoU from a mate of mine, never actually played it or finished it, and then he moved a fair distance away from me and I had to return it to him. All of this to say that though I've not personally played it, I am familiar with it and find Joel to be an incredibly compelling character.

I think either of my characters would be interesting dynamics. Aerith definitely is the sort of character who others see a need to protect (and she largely lets that happen), whilst Kisara is rather self-sufficient and probably a little more on par with Joel in terms of combative skills.

Nothing like more characters to trigger Joel’s protective instincts! Looking forward to tagging with you!
