MAY STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS

[etrayamods]

⏵ May State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! As previously mentioned, we have changed our player cap to ten new players per application round. This will be in effect until we hit under 60 players. With May's round of applications, we're currently at 78 players. Given our new player limitations, we will be moving our TDMs to every three months. Our next TDM will go up on June 13th, and the one after that will go up on September 19th. To make sure players can keep TDM threads as game canon, we're going to be changing our TDM formatting a little! This will become more clear when our next TDM goes live. Mingle logs will continue going up during months when we do not have a TDM. These will be simplistic logs with a couple of prompts to play with. As a friendly reminder - Etraya's network does not have private filters! If it's posted on the network, it's accessible to everyone. The exception to this are threads happening in character inboxes. There is a player plot in progress to develop something for player characters, but as it has not been released yet, it's still inaccessible. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there are any locations 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. ⏵ 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. We also have the plotting post going up on June 3rd. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> feel free to link to your plurk, provide a discord handle, or state any other preferences! <b>ABOUT YOU:</b> what fandoms are you in? what cool thing about you do you think would be fun to share? are you more of a texty tagger, a log tagger, quick boomeranger? <b>CHARACTER:</b> who have you apped? what canon are they from? <b>CHARACTER INFO:</b> how excited are they to be told their entire world is going to be destroyed if they're not invited to the cool kids table? are they prepared to make friends? or stab people in the back? or are they planning on finding every kitten available, taking over a couple of apartments, and starting a cat colony? <b>CR NOTES:</b> what kind of cr are you looking for, or not looking for? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> this is mostly for us mods: tell us things you're interested in! are you here more for horror elements, the mystery, soft fluffy missions, or the plot behind why echo has called everyone in? do you want to explore the world and figure out what's beyond the bubble etraya resides in? let us know! <b>OTHER:</b> this is for pretty pictures or gifs. or possum pics, if you like possums.

same game!!!!

and im happy to see what happens, im sure it'll be fun no matter what with you <3

[projected]

bad news: eobard is like if barry had his own personal kilgrave
good news: he doesn't have any mind control powers, he's just extremely annoying and also murdered a mom that barry just can't get over for some reason smh

anyway i think jessica and eobard would be delightfully funny.

[tocastashadow]

hello there!! I've been enjoying our tdm thread so much, I'm excited to see more of Carver!

Shadowheart's juuust starting to get over her own cult situation but it seems like these two have some things in common that'd be fun to explore

[projected]

lol excellent, eobard loves getting into petty proxy fights when it comes to anyone flash family related.

[notmyfuture]

What's up Queens. Steve will be glad to find more people he knows!

Also very here for being an adult for Laura to annoy. He might even be able to keep up.

[nimbuster]

Ooh, yes, I'd love CR with Sandalphon! I know him just a little through RP osmosis, and more Sandy is always welcome~ Cloud does like coffee...

[nimbuster]

Haha yessss, I love Deadpool and their CR would be hilarious. XD Cloud will be making this icon face the whole time.

[stresstokens]

supporting non-humans, you say...!

riz here is from a canon very unlike x-men lol, but definitely very similar in the 'training superpowered teens while doing Big Violence' category -- I definitely think they could have some interesting conversations abt that and I'd love to throw my guy at yours!

[tocastashadow]

hello!! I love Peter and Laura both and I've been having so much fun with them on the TDM (and Shadowheart definitely owes Laura an apology lol)

[fourthwalled]

It will be! Cloud will be so over it immediately. But considering some of the ridiculous side characters in FF7, Wade might not be too out of place! Also just dropping this here for you to enjoy. ;)

[prevail]

Awesome! Cloud will get bonus points for appreciating coffee, and naturally he can have as much as he likes. What is Sandalphon if not the coffee angel? He's already thought about opening a cafe here, of course.

And looking at your list, sign me up for any of that. Love horror, fluffy material, exploration...all good things. I'm behind on Remake since no PS5, but I appreciated that they brought out more of the Cloud I saw in Crisis Core.

[notmyfuture]

Hellooo I really need to look at the TDM more often! Steve will be THRILLED and relieved to see Nat. (He might also cry a little, so what if he hasn't really processed her death before appearing here).

[retribue]

hello, i would like to have a stabby daughter in my life please

[keepitgoing]

YESSSSS let's lament how hideous our teen years are/have been. 😔

Peter will absolutely keep a responsible eye out for Asuka, even though she's only a few years younger and has been through just as much danger. 😬☝️

[nimbuster]

HAHAHA oh man, talk about ways to become rivals XD

[keepitgoing]

HELLOOOOO AGAIN!!!!

They all absolutely need to meet (and Laura will especially think Octavia is super cool 😮💖)

[keepitgoing]

YESSS we love an inactive villain!!!! Peter will be hella relieved by this factoid. This nerd will have so much to discuss with him, and frankly he'll be happy to have people around his age after losing everyone who knew him.

Laura will not stab... unless provoked. Watch yourself, Krouse. 👀

[keepitgoing]

Howdy, Mr. Rogers!! It'll be so nice to see you again. Not as retired, either. 😂

Laura will probably get along with Steve.... PROBABLY. 👀 Steve's WAY nicer than her dad, LMFAO.

[keepitgoing]

I have been having a great time with our tdm threads!!! And Laura might get a little prickly at first, but she knows you were just struggling with some heavy shit, Shadowheart. 😭😭😭 She Gets It

[shoplifter]

Excellent, because I have (1) stabby child, hot off the press!

She needs more gals in her life, compared to all these obnoxious bros. 😂

[nimbuster]

Hell yes! And yeah, I am beyond blown away by how perfectly they've nailed Cloud's character for remake-verse, don't get me started or I could gush about it all day LMAO.

[neverleave]

I'm canon blind but she sounds adorable!

Natsuno here isn't exactly an adult (17) and I'm not sure he can be called wise on account of how ready he is to get himself killed. But he does has a soft spot for younger kids so if you want potential older sibling type CR it could work! He's protective but also knows some kids are perfectly able to handle themselves.

[prevail]

They really did do a fantastic job, it was great seeing how they handled Cloud's character when I played the first installment. Honestly I'd be here for gushing if ever, it's always fun talking about characters and everything that goes into them.

Has part two continued to do him justice?

[neverleave]

Worm characters make me so happy

Natsuno here is young, not a hero or well adjusted but has been through enough shit to be unfazed by 90% of The Horrors so... maybe that counts for dealing with it better?

He also thinks Amy is the most terrifying person around and that Krouse is Some OK Guy I Guess.
