APRIL STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS

[etrayamods]

⏵ April State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! We’ve had a huge second application round. Our original planned player cap for Raya was about 30 players. As of this post, our count is 67 players, and 72 characters. Our mod team’s excited about how big our little project has become, and we’re so glad to have you guys here! To that extent, we’re going to be raising our player cap to 60 and keeping it there. The number of players we have over this is fine! We’ll just be planning to maintain it at under 60 going forward. Our FAQ notes that we do not have caps on casts, but may implement them if a particular cast grows too large. At this point in time, we have 9 members of the DC batcast. Instead of implementing a cap on the entirety of DC Comics, especially given the variety of casts within it, we're going to implement a temporary cap on Gotham specific DCs. Until this is removed, players are welcome to app others, such as Zatanna, Supergirl, or Hal Jordan, but cannot app Harley Quinn, any of the Robins, Batmen, or associates that generally stay within Gotham. We recognize this line is not clear-cut. If there are any questions, please feel free to direct them here. If we receive any reserves or applications for characters that may be riding the line, we’ll reach out to the player affected. Applications are still open until 3PM PST today, April 26th, for any last-minute app needs. The mod team has been editing other FAQ entries as well! Our What is the city like?, Added Locations, Native Population, Appable Characters, and Cast Caps have been edited for clarity, and to add in a few modifications as listed above. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there's any location you would like to see in particular, please feel free to use the provided form so we can get it added! Additionally, please check out our CALENDAR noting the dates of the upcoming mission and Activity Check due dates. For new characters, activity is simply responding to the ACTIVITY CHECK page using the formatting provided. Those who have not completed this by the day AC closes will be removed from the game. For this round of activity, we will provide a warning - please note that we will not be issuing warnings after April. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals! Please use the below form to introduce yourself, tell us what you’re looking forward to, and CR you’re wanting to play.

YEAH Sam wants to get his wings or equivalent asap, negl. who even is he if he can't jump off tall buildings and do fun flips in the air ;__;

Dick and Sam can be each other's emotional support superhero buddies xD

[daughterofliberty]

she's gotta tell sam about his costume... the deep V, the spandex, the whole thing!

Dick coming to Sam like 'can you help convince my entire family to get therapy, pls'

[unclesam]

PLEASE tell him. he's gonna have to debate himself on whether he's jealous or horrified.
DEFINITELY jealous of the cat and also the actual bird
(tell him about Misty and he'll just throw his hands up and admit that he got the short end of the multiversal stick, for sure)

Dick, idk how to tell you this, but superheroes are like allergic to therapy. see also: sam GIVES therapy, but super does not pursue it EVEN THOUGH HE SHOULD.

[daughterofliberty]

She's not gonna argue with you there, Sam, Misty is the coolest chick she knows and you should be so lucky! Maybe if he's really nice, she can bring in Actual Bird Redwing for him with AC points...

He knows this, but hope springs eternal... then again he does dress up and fight crime with bird-themed weaponry, so

[unclesam]

oh my god Sam would be so happy and instantly become SUCH A MENACE. consider the power you give him.
Also imagine him with drone!Redwing *AND* bird!Redwing
he'd be unstoppable.
he'd harrass the fuck out of Steve and Bucky, non-stop.
it would be beautiful...!

oh shit, yeah, they gotta include Dick in the consideration of who the coolest bird-themed hero is.
'cause like, Sam thinks he wins by default, but competition for second place is getting MUCH steeper now...

[daughterofliberty]

please Sam do you even have wingdings???

when Sharon tells him other him can communicate with birds, tho...

but also, she is obviously here for him harassing Steve and Bucky. those might be (other versions of) her boys, but she likes bugging them as much as the next Avenger!

[unclesam]

Sam was put on this earth to keep Steve and Bucky humble and/or bully them non-stop.
Sharon and him are gonna be such menages, I love it
