JUNE STATE OF THE GAME




⏵ June State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴


Hello, Etrayans!

We hope you enjoyed your time at Summer Camp! Or if your character had the fun of going off to Solmara, we hope they enjoyed fighting beasts, and convincing Borealis to come out of hiding!

For this application round, we have opted to keep them open an additional week. We announced this over plurk, but realize not everyone checks there! Their new closure date will be July 4th. This will not impact our log or posting schedule at all. In addition, as of today, June 27th, the X-Men cast is no longer under cap.

We've got our arrival mingle going up later today to welcome new characters! Please keep an eye out for it. On July 11th, our mission announcement and plotting post will be going up. We do want to note that this next mission will be off world, and we intend for its' duration to be four weeks. As always, we strive to be flexible and build our missions up to suit our player base/characters currently in game, so if we need to slow it down some or put up any additional logs mid-mission, we may check in with our players during to get a feel on if that would help any.

Our last feedback post went up on June 19th with our next coming up on September 18th - but we welcome feedback throughout the year regardless of if there's a specific post asking for it! You are always welcome to comment to our older feedback posts with any concerns, comments, or ideas of what we can do to improve the game. We can't promise to bring everything into play, but we do listen to the ideas that have been brought our way and have implemented many player suggestions in the past. Our Mod Contact page is always open in case you would like a screened location to reach out to.

Don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. You are welcome to submit TDM threads for activity points if wanted. Our activity results post always goes up on the 1st of the month, and we have switched to providing a warning list for characters who have yet to responded to AC with an additional five days to respond from the date our results post goes up.


⏵ 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 want to play. We also have a mod comment HERE that you can use to ask us mods anything about our upcoming plans, add suggestions, or anything of the like.

Salutes and hits you up there this day! Evening. Whatever time I'm currently experiencing

Crying, "So hey is this retrofitted with indoor plumbing? The castle aesthetic is beautiful, really, but I hear they're super drafty..."

PLAYER: Caprica
CONTACT: @ caprican over on Plurk. Or angelolatry on Discord.
ABOUT YOU: I'm an early childhood teacher in future kiwiland. I've been peering at this game for a while and debating on who to app and. Uh. Well, all the merch for the anniversary just reminded me how much I adore this little guy. Which is to say. I love rpgs. I also adore animation, manga, and generally story-based video games. I have a particular fondness for red pandas and was an extra in the Hobbit films. Does that count as an interesting fact???

CHARACTER: Vivi Ornitier from Final Fantasy IX.
CHARACTER INFO: Vivi is a baby. Which is to say, he's technically like. A few months old, but physically is about nine years old. He's also a black mage, which means he essentially controls elemental magic and things like poison/sleep to support his friends in battle using his staff.

He's shy, clumsy, and really gullible, but he's getting more confident and learning more about the world since meeting Zidane and the others. His whole journey is basically around finding out more about himself/the other black mages. He is a prototype that fell off the airship and was initially raised to...er....be eaten, except he never grew any bigger and his 'grandpa' died before he ate the little guy. Vivi is gradually learning to take each day as it comes and to make the most of every minute, since he learns that black mages tend to live for about a year. I love this game, but do not let the cuteness fool you, guys, it's. Heavy.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Vivi is curious and new so. Basically anything and everything, really. I'd love for him to make friends with other non-humans. Other mages. Others to little bro at? Talk magic with? Want someone to fall for a prank/joke or take advantage of how gullible someone is? Vivi is probably the one.

Hey! I'm sure it'll go swimmingly!! Kell-El seems tough but he is much nicer than he lets on. Some times.

Tsa's characters

PLAYER: Tsa, she/her
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] thepreciousthing / thepreciousthing on disco
ABOUT YOU: In addition to Venom and Percy Jackson, I'm also a fan of video games & cartoons that you remember watching at 6am on weekday mornings in the 90s. I'm still settling into a new job that, while overall positive, has been a mental & emotional adjustment and so I'm still figuring out my tagging schedule as a result.

APOLLO (Lester Papadopoulos)

[personal profile] unpollo 2025-06-28 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER: Apollo from the Percy Jackson universe!
CHARACTER INFO: Apollo is a 4,000+ year old Greek God who has been very rudely shoved into the body of a (MORTAL!!!) teenage boy and quite literally thrown out of Olympus. Into a dumpster. He's had 4.75 novels worth of ego death and character development since then, and is defining himself by how much he adores mortals and their capacity for love, ingenuity, and change. HE LOVES ALL OF YOU.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: The boy craves a stable and functioning family. Please help him piece one together. Give him parents and siblings. Maybe even kids to take care of. LET HIM NURTURE AND CARE FOR OTHERS HE CRAVES IT.

DYLAN BROCK

[personal profile] codicies 2025-06-28 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER: Dylan Brock, from the Venom comics
CHARACTER INFO: He is angry and prickly and those traits are very much at odds with his deep-seated desire to be a hero and do the right thing. Also dealing with some very deep emotional scars and abandonment issues.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: He's trying to figure out a place and identity for himself. I kinda fell off for a bit with the new job but slowly getting back into it!

WRONG JOURNAL BUT

I am totally looking forward to it! So glad Jill came to me with the idea of Silco and Crane teaming up because it's so hilariously awful. And it's letting me dig into THAT side of Crane which is what I've wanted to start doing.

Jason seems like the sort who could be noticed sneaking around Arkham? I'm wanting to do a TL for Arkham shenanigans soon so he seems like he'd be a good fit?

Kirk I think we can see what happens as we go. Crane does get fully into his work but he's capable of masking. So I feel like something along friendly lines could be a good start. Crane's just honestly bored and needs mental stimulation which is one reason why he's doing it. The other reason, at the core, is that he is projecting his own fear. So yes. Start on good lines? Cause I think Kirk can see there's something there to keep alive if that makes sense?
betenoir: (Stern)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong journal again. Do forgive.

But no. No prison for Scarecrow.

I think Bruce like Kirk could pick up on what Crane is doing beneath it all so let me copypaste: "Crane's just honestly bored and needs mental stimulation which is one reason why he's doing it. The other reason, at the core, is that he is projecting his own fear"

Maybe there's something to work with there?
betenoir: (Anxiety)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly! Until Verso asks if he wants to go for a swimswim.

But yes! We can chatter about all the good SPOILER STUFF on Plurk. :)
betenoir: (Impatience)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you sound like Verso????

But yes hello! I'm Lisa and I play Renoir here who has an interest in keeping an eye on people getting close to that troublesome man because SPOILERS.

Let him apologise to Clive for Verso's behaviour please.
betenoir: (Violence)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep spoilers off this plurk but if you've played Clair Obscur these two have stuff they can really dig into. His world certainly means you need to make the most of every minute.

Also Renoir is a mage [as his world knows them] so there's magic natter to do if you're game.
ornitiers: (Let me)

[personal profile] ornitiers 2025-06-28 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Clair Obscur is on my list to check out, yes! I know fiance has it but I'm not sure how far he has gotten with it and I only caught him starting it up to see how it played that it worked on his desktop.

But yes, I'm definitely down for him meeting other mages and learning about different magic systems and such compared to what he is used to back home.
betenoir: Handmade - DNT (Default)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! Let me know how you feel about spoilers so I know what your preferences are and we're good. :)

But yes. It's a good way to start. I do have a top level at the event if that works to get us started?
ornitiers: (Find the)

[personal profile] ornitiers 2025-06-28 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! I'll prob say that I'd prefer no spoilers yet, but I can let you know when I get through the game?

At the mingle? Yeah, sure! I have Vivi there too, or if you'd like to link me I can tag Vivi into his top level, either way.

[personal profile] lastonetodie 2025-06-28 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
i'll be real i just want to throw the custodian at him and see what happens, i think as people who are responsible for a lot of shit(tm) they might have some fun things to talk about!

(also i guess sorting out metaphysics about whether the robot has a soul or not)
lastonetodie: (of how even the dead can come back)

[personal profile] lastonetodie 2025-06-28 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
AWWW VIVI!! i'm so glad there's other people who play him still ;_; hello small artificial child who has a concerningly short time limit, meet a robot who's like the opposite of that hahah
betenoir: (Antipathy)

[personal profile] betenoir 2025-06-28 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! The mingle.

Top level is here.

Prompts are spoiler-tagged for convenience and I suggest anything but sea la vie and maybe arrival. Though sea la vie is just more to do with vague introspection and arrival has only mild spoilers (that are publically available on the game's website) so I'll leave that up to you.
