⏵ 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.

PLAYER: Nori, She/Her

CONTACT: NorikoSakuma

ABOUT YOU: Hi hi, I'm Mexican so English is not my first language, but I do try to do my best so things don't sound too awkward. Long time roleplayer, however it's been years since I joined a new game-- I mean, last time I did LJ was still a thing and I've been mostly hanging out with a close group of friends in IJ ever since, so I am a bit shy. Right now, I'm pretty much hyperfixated with Sonic (that blue hedgehog has me on a chokehold), but I have gone through my handful of fandoms over the years. I like anime, comics, videogames, movies, tv shows, kdramas, I know I used to enjoy the sensation of reading a book but I haven't been able to read anything but fanfiction lately. I try to tag constantly, unless life's out to get me, but such is the fate of a tired, middle aged adult.

CHARACTER: Sonic the Hedgehog, from the Paramount Movies

CHARACTER INFO: Meet this little blue menace. Fastest thing in the galaxy! Sonic loves making new friends (which is a fun contrast with his mun, who is an introvert, hah). He's fiercely loyal to the people he cares about, and has strong moral compass. He is quite talkative, overly enthusiastic, always ready to try new fun things. He can be quite annoying when he gets his mind into it, specially to people who are allergic to fun or too serious for their own good.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
Specifically with Sonic: fun adventures, silliness, shenanigans! Lighthearted things that leave you with warm fuzzy feelings. I am also not opposed to more serious, emotional stuff, and solving mysteries! I enjoy story driven plotlines, and seeing the characters I play grow.

I need to show everyone my son with his little drawing because it's adorable
