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.

Lovely to meet you Marbles! I would totally love for him to eventually form a grudging soft of admiration for her because she's so strong. He'll totally brush it off at first but eventually he'll be forced to fanboy.

[nitropowered]

Hi K! It's lovely to meet you. I watched a lot of The 100 but it was a loooong time ago. I can see these two getting along though....or really not. I'm curious how it would play out. Either way, I can't wait to see what happens with them.

[prevail]

Hey, he's made progress! Sandalphon still sees himself as atoning, he uh. Caused an apocalyptic event, so. Bakugou's not doing so bad. With a mission coming up, they can have a run-in.

He will absolutely provide coffee. Last month he got the okay to grow it, too.

[seenitall]

would she like to adopt an underage teenage spy

asking for a friend

[blackhourglass]

A friend, huh?

I bet she might. She's not used to adopting young people, but apparently here she might get into the habit of it. She's very good at training. It's what she did before she got here, and obviously has a soft spot for spies.

[seenitall]

well obviously Alex himself is not a spy because that would be ridiculous but maybe hypothetically he knows someone who it turns out is from a family of spies and was basically trained to be a spy from birth and then a shady department of MI6 was like



and blackmailed him into working for them but not officially because that would be horrifically illegal




and also that someone is him.

It's pretty self contained! 24 issues which you totally can't read right here for free (with ads)

PLAYER: miyou, she/her
CONTACT: poohsticks | mongoliabun (discord)
ABOUT YOU: i'm a native texan living the library lyfe (i work for 2 separate libraries bc who can live in This Economy) and graphic design is my passion.jpg 🤪 shitposting is my bread and butter but i also Love digging into deep character stuff too. more than likely u Will get an insane tl;dr tag from me. that said, things can get pretty busy for me so backtagging is essential and i will pretty much backtag until u get sick of me. i live in the sloth lane. fandom-wise i'm back on my atla and pjo bullshit but i'm also big on uncharted and one piece intermittently. feel free to add me on plurk for plotting or chatting!

CHARACTER: sokka, with an okka (avatar: the last airbender)

CHARACTER INFO: sokka just saw the end of a hundred year war in his home world, so he's not entirely thrilled about getting dragged here and told it might be destroyed. he wants to have Words with echo and will be very single-minded about trying to find a Solution to this problem that no one has found a solution to smh. thankfully, his best friend aang is also here, so that will help loosen him up so he doesn't just spiral into research and planning. but also this world is so different from his own that he wants to know Everything and will be very interested in exploring and learning whatever he can and probably sharing his questionable art and poetry skills along the way.

CR NOTES: found family! rivals! people to generally annoy! science buddies! i'm honestly down for any kind of cr. sokka can be extremely obnoxious but he can also be very serious for a 15 yo (he has Seen Some Shit). he's sarcastic and annoying but is also very smart and loves science and engineering and will probably tell you about that time he invented the submarine and how his first girlfriend turned into the moon (that's rough buddy). he likes to yap! he's not always super trusting of strangers but he warms up to ppl quickly if he has a good Feeling (and his instincts are Usually Correct either way). he probably won't Admit that he's still just a kid who needs a responsible adult in his life (you can fit so many mommy and daddy issues in this bad boy) but any kind of parental figures would be excellent and will help him unpack a lot of the Single Protector of My Tribe/Gaang baggage he doesn't know how to let go of especially now that the war is over (alexa play who am i les miserables).

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: mystery, research, and exploration are the big ones. sokka is massively curious and determined and wants to solve this universe problem that is apparently unsolvable. he also has approximately 35468746 unanswered questions and wants answers to all of them tyvm. also totally down for wacky time-wasting nonsense every now and then to shake things up and a little sprinkle of horror because a children's show was not allowed to go full horrors and atrocities of war and i would love to explore some of the darker stuff.

OTHER:

happy pride from the southern water tribe! 🌈

[blackhourglass]

Well, depending on your fandoms. You either know or don't that she was sold into the Russian Red Room spy program for little girls by her super amazing father. She's been training since forever in everything as well. They used her young, and used her well. Her degree? A hysterectomy. It's all very well and good in Russia. :3

Nothing illegal to see there. She'd have no qualms with him actually being a spy. No shocks or shockwaves in her life. Sixteen is pretty old. He shouldn't have to deal with it. Obviously. I'm sure we can event smush them together.

[wannasmash]

Welcome! I'm sure yours will do Fine(TM) here! I play a tenacious cinnamon roll Hero with a capital H. Laura would be so funny if she encountered Deku because feral children tend to lightly injure him, that's his lot in life, and he takes it like a champ!

And Peter, well part of Deku's personality is undoubtedly based off his actually! Your friendly neighborhood Deku is most entertaining opposite someone very different, but I had to share that fun bit of trivia. It would be funny if they had the vibes of spidermenpointingmeme.jpg.

[wannasmash]

Hello fellow backtagger! I'm Tea (I keep forgetting to say that on these things) and sorry Deku is a fellow workaholic shouldering Many Responsibilities, most self-inflicted! He can't help Sokka there! But hey, that's what training buddies are for, right? Deku is kind of like a sleeper agent rival, he's normally very kind and polite, but challenge him as an equal and he Activates.

[wannasmash]

lol die mad about it explosion boy

Deku would never say that, he'd probably just run at him and cry!! Anyway if I can get an open log up before the event plotting drops, we can always use that.

[nitropowered]

I literally just put up a network post here if you wanted to do something with that, or we could go with a log too! Either way, I'd love to thread some stuff with you.

ETA: I want Deku running at him and crying so bad.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

hiya Marbles! <3 I remember you, we were like two ships passing in the night at meta! Def looking forward to Doreen and Ororo hangouts, she will be hyped to see the X-Mansion from the inside!

[wannasmash]

OH NICE SAME BRAIN I'll have him message him to meet him since private convos are not a thing on this network, does that sound good?

[nitropowered]

Sounds perfect to me!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Cliiiiiiiiint! My knowledge of Clint outside of the Matt Fraction run and the MCU is likewise limited, but Doreen will definitely recognize him from Avengers stuff! I'm not sure they've ever like... had a conversation together, but she will be excited to see familiar faces here!

[shoplifter]

Yessss, Deku and Pete will totally relate to eachother's hero lives. ;; Awkward fanboy nerds united! And Laura promises she'll mostly behave. Mostly.

[wannasmash]

Deku's got a little notebook where he keeps hero notes... Nerd! And how nice of Laura to spare him! For now...

[westcoasts]

LMF i honestly don't think they've ever ...... spoken either lmfao although realistically speaking clint would have spoken to her at least once because he speaks to everyone. but would he remember her name?

lol no.

[shabuir]

As it so happens, I also play a violent, paranoid weirdo! :D Fett here is a former bounty hunter whose even-more-paranoid father taught him from a young age to trust no one and solve all his problems with violence. He's learned somewhat better over the past decade or so in novel canon, but old habits die hard. I'd be happy to throw him at Carver some time to see if they vibe or clash!

[anciently]

welcome, juli!! so happy you apped ♥

i'm kai, here with everyone's favorite local florist, and i can't wait to get these two into SITUATIONS

also hell yeah dungeon meshi, it's SO good c:

[fortitudosalutis]

The best kind of weirdo! I'd love to toss these two at each other, let's see where it goes!

[sokkcasm]

hello tea! i honestly know nothing about mha but it sounds like they would be so much fun to play off each other 🙊 i'm sure sokka will activate that sleeper agent rival side in no time

[nitropowered]

OH NICE. Thank you. ♥
