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.

your pal, palamedes
Canon: The Locked Tomb
Canon Point: Harrow the Ninth
Crime: Treason! He's tickled.
Background: The politest necromancer you will ever meet... He's a massive nerd and he talks too much, and as a personal rule he doesn't lie, so if you ask him about necromancer things you will get a short and chipper lecture about osseo and fleshy bits. Pal is super massively friendly
unlike Shinjiand he absolutely wants to be everyone's pal and learn about their funky abilities and so on. He is fundamentally a strange noodle of a man who nonetheless sticks his nose in everything. Usually, he has his bestie eternal with him to stop him from getting himself killed. Presently, he is unsupervised.Abilities: ya boy is a necromancer, again, which means all of the things you might think of besides resurrection, for plot reasons. They don't resurrect where he's from unless they're God, and he sucks. Broadly Pal can fiddle with any body part living or dead, he's not as good with bones as he is with flesh, he will definitely do something like abruptly cut a finger to get blood to use in front of people, sorry.
His specialty is psychometry or seeing the lingering energies attached to an object he touches, which is not so much seeing visions as being able to tell how old something is or match an energy signature on a thing to a person who touched it last, things like that. This ability is going haywire about Things Native To The Game Setting, which he loves and hates in equal measure already.
Plans: all things..... types that appeal 2 him:
✨ nerd friends, any sort of nerd is welcome
✨ jock friends, same
✨ "rivals" that will not be rivals but you're welcome to pretend, he considers this friends also
✨ people who are into mystery solving, specifically
✨ fellow people who have been dead before and have complicated emotions about it. or not so complicated emotions tbf
✨ he's good emotional support? the man is stalwart in his dedication to making tea for troubled birds, just unlock his friendship path
✨ just chill buds to hang out with so he manages a work/life balance
because he will find a way to get himself a weird necromancer job to do✨ who can help him self publish a romance novel
