INTRO / CR MEME
INTRO / CR MEME
Welcome to Expiation, home of the big bucks and no whammies! 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. Please note that all characters accepted in June are exempt from the June AC. For everyone else, please submit your AC by June 30th, 2023. We will provide a warning list halfway through the day (eastern time) on both the OOC community and the moderator plurk. If you need to take a hiatus or have extenuating circumstances, reach out to the moderator team via DM, our feedback page, or plurk. We're some pretty understanding people! Real life sometimes slaps all of us around, after all.
As a kind reminder for people who are using backdated threads as proofs, we are counting the number of comments from June. Please make sure your counts are correct. We will sweep anyone who fails to meet AC due to miscounted comments.
For our new players, we encourage you to read the Premise and End Game section of our April 2023 State of the Game, as it includes behind-the-scenes information for players. There's also a wide array of other information on that entry available for the curious. (You can also check out the tag and read the bottom section for interesting lore / world building questions that have been forwarded to the team since the game's opening.)
To give you a general idea of how the upcoming timeline will be...
- Sometime this week, we'll have sign ups for the Sentencing mechanic. The short description is that we will be taking sign ups from interested parties. The sign up post will contain (hopefully) all of the information you might need as players to make an informed decision about whether you want to be involved or not. From the interested parties, a select number will be chosen via RNG, and those characters will be assigned a task that they will have a specific amount of time to complete. Successful completion will result in characters obtaining some kind of information pertinent to overarching game story line in some way (consider it may be a little more vague rather than directly in one's face). Characters who participate in this may also have their parchment crimes altered following successful or unsuccessful completion, depending on personal actions taken in the game thus far.
- Our next event isn't scheduled until later July 2023, but we can tell you that it's got something to do with those friendly little fairies who were giving people the power to grow plants at will. It might be worth fostering some good relations with them whilst the opportunity is there.
- We'll have a simple mingle available in late June / early July for newcomers and Chosen who've been around for a while as a means of getting to know people. Something likely light of heart to help offset some of the more serious themes we tend to explore in our events.
- The next state of the game will also take place in July, after the event, which will, as ever, include results of the event, changes made to the world, things we'd like to do in the future, things we're working on in the background, and more little curiosities for everyone.
- The next application cycle will be in early August 2023. The next TDM is scheduled for the end of July to pave the way for that app cycle.

Anything Else?: I'm a lead caregiver so my schedule is either hectic or not hectic. You can catch me on plurk, which is listed above, or on discord. I enjoy horror, cooking, jrpgs... When FF16 comes out I may be slow with tags lmao. But fr, I play a lot of FFXIV, and I have one of my fellow static members with me in the game here.
Character: Astralin Turnont
Canon: Original
Canon Point: Demetria's seal breaking, modern times
Crime: Murder in the second degree
Background: Astralin is a former nobleman (legit the dude was set to be an actual prince) before his family left nobility. He comes from a powerful bloodline of magic users, so the man is a prodigy of sorts. It's bc of that, he's kidnapped at some point in his life. He killed the dude that kidnapped him, and eventually escaped, being saved by his future wife and husband after esacaping. When he goes back home, he essentially just continued his life as a farmer until war broke out. Once the war started, and assassins started to come after him, he became a contractor to Crimson (the resistance) to heal wounded soldiers and fight with them.
After the war, he continued his life as a farmer, and eventually, he has children and what not. There's centuries of peace, until the seal that Demetria is kept under is broken and that's where he's at in life right now. BASICALLY THE "Ah shit, here we go again" meme.
Abilities:
- Spirit Magic: He has the ability to take raw energy, and convert it into magic disks that he can throw. These disks can immediately vaporize his target, and basically cause a lot of destruction in his wake. He tries not to use this ability as much, as it uses quite a bit of energy and it's overpowered. It's basically nuclear powers. (Will be unable in Expiation)
- Scythe Proficiency: His main weapon is a scythe. He can move around quickly, and do aerobic flips with his scythe to perform his attacks. There's a lot of spinning, and flipping involved with his scythe, so he has fun with it. There's also a weightless enchantment on the scythe to make it easy to move around with.
- Ice magic: Astralin can summon icicle spears with his ice magic, and use it as a throwing weapon. He can also conjure up an ice shield to protect himself or someone else if they're in trouble. General ice abilities, like diamond dust and ice spears.
He has a creationism ability with his ice magic. He's able to create simple things, such as vases, flowers, ice sculptures, chairs, furniture and what have you. Just simple things like that. He is also able to preserve food and flowers by infusing his ice magic into those items.
- Restorative Magic: Surprisingly, despite his aloof nature, he is a proficient healer. He can mass heal those around him who are injured, without using too much of his power. He can heal through deep wounds, and can save people from the brink of death. (Nerf in Expiation: Not able to heal from the brink of death, but he can heal wounds, fractures, and broken bones.)
- Monster transformation: Man, he's not gonna really use this, but he DOES have it.
Plans: I actually want Astralin to come face to face with his sentencing, eventually. He's well aware that he's got a LOT of blood on his hands, despite the fact the people he killed were people trying to kill him. He knows there's some truth to this charge, because he doesn't view himself as fully innocent.
As for CR, i wouldn't mind more friends for him! He's a bit more open since first coming here, and he's open to being friends with people. He's quite the gentle giant, and I think having a farm with animals on them helps being a good conversation starter lmao.
???: Feel free to hit me up/add me. I am so sorry that this is so scattered IT'S LATE HERE.

I'm pretty sure they haven't talked about it but IF THEY DID I'm blaming my written exams for my forgetfulness.Also, now that he's a parent (both in canon update and in-game lmao), they can maybe bond about that! Ethlyn is trying to be less afraid of thinking about her kids at home.

THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY BOND ABOUT THAT he has like 4 biological children, but also a few from his husband and wife (so step sons or daughters??) so he's. Full Dad. Full on Dad.
