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.

Heck yeah! I don't think Baixi would have the first clue how to deal with a guy like Wade, but I can't wait to find out how that goes.

[brat]

there is only room for one batman

is it bat war time. damian votes for batwars.

[relished]

hi hello i wanted to tag her on the tdm but life took hold of me
i feel like these two would have some really interesting cr esp if it may evolve into some ... horror-y aspects

[fortitudosalutis]

I have, too! It's lots of fun to toss this asshole at people. We can probably have something break them up and/or disable Carver if you want, I'm down either way.

[fourthwalled]

Yes, I'm here for it!

[relished]

omg ... let's get weird

HELLO EVERYONE

[keepitgoing]

PLAYER: Ashlee (she/they!)
CONTACT: simpledog / PM
ABOUT YOU: I am currently in my My Chemical Romance era, so you might see a lot of art for them on my plurk, or updates for my Black Parade comic, lmfao! But I do a lot of random art for RP as well when the mood strikes! My top fandoms are a weird hodge podge, I like MCU (though I never keep up), Spider-Man in general, and a number of (usually older) anime, as well as musicals like Hadestown. My muselist is the best way to tell what I'm into/been into.

CHARACTER: Peter Parker from Spider-Man: No Way Home (MCU)
CHARACTER INFO: Fresh adult, hot out of the pizza oven! He's from the tail end of NWH after probably bouncing from FEAST to an apartment all his own, so he's a mixed bag of feelings showing up here. On one hand, they've surely got something they can do to avoid universe destruction. C'mon, sounds like a cop-out to only save a few. On the other hand, why would you pick someone to save universes who nearly dragged a bunch of villains into his own? On the other OTHER hand, he's kind of stoked to have a handful of people already know who Peter Parker is, considering nobody knows him back home. Homeboy has been lonely (and is still grappling with the recent losses he's had in his life, alongside the guilt that comes with it).
CR NOTES: I love varied CR, anything and everything. Also as a note: I don't have much interest in keeping Peter and Spider-Man separate for very long! I've played him hiding his identity a few times before, and in a game with no real NPCs or easy way to conceal it in a big crowd of folks, I'm way more interested in people figuring it out! So I'm totally down to have situations where the cat is out of the bag early.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I looove psychological elements, deeper introspective things. Nothing one-tracks some delicious CR like events that bare people's souls. I also come from a game with some really juicy team-work driven missions, so I would also love to see that, too! Horror is my jam, but I'm into adventure with a side of ridiculous day to day life.
OTHER:



CHARACTER: Laura from Logan (XMCU)
CHARACTER INFO: Laura does not trust Aurora and Etraya at all, but she is not too shaken by all of this business. She doesn't really understand why she would be chosen for the goals Echo has in mind??? But hey, she's eleven and she likes all the free stuff. She's definitely coming from a place of trying to better herself, especially with Logan's dying request that she not be what she was created for. She wants to do good! But she is also a little skittish and prone to stabbing when in distress. You know how it be.
CR NOTES: Again, any and all. I am not picky in the slightest. She needs friends, adults to annoy, arch nemeses, etc, etc.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: See: Peter Parker's section.

Clearly there's room for more than one Bat(-)man in a given universe....

[projected]

PLAYER: marion (she/her)
CONTACT: canarycry or you can ask me for my discord. will also be in the discord server.
ABOUT YOU: work from home office drone. some series im into right now are succession, chainsaw man, jujutsu kaisen, disco elysium, visual novels (umineko, zero escape, ai somnium files, witch on the holy night etc). my tag style is a little all over the place but i generally try to tag back every 1-3 days.

CHARACTER: Eobard Thawne from the CW Flash/Legends of Tomorrow.

CHARACTER INFO: he's the guy from the IT WAS ME BARRY meme who just ruins one person's life for fun and spite because he decided to make holding a singular grudge his entire personality. very well adjusted individual, thinks he is always right even when he does bad things, don't be his friend.

CR NOTES: ok but seriously i've apped accepting 95% of my CR will likely be negative so that's what you want then i can provide it. eobard CAN be normal when your name isn't barry allen, but he's a deeply narcissistic dude who never learns his lesson and thinks he's the smarter version of elon musk.

im not going to say positive cr is impossible but even other villains he works with hate his ass because he's so arrogant. if you hate barry allen then he can be president of the fan club.

p.s. for other dc comic people, he will likely know who your character is by reputation though not their secret identity. this is the cosmic power of cheating (i.e. being a time traveler from the 25th century)

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: horror, mystery, wacky silver-age comic shenanigans, memshare, plots where eobard can get his ass kicked like he deserves but maybe some where he can play hero for once.

OTHER: BEGONE THOT

We can always have the tranq dart wear off on the cougar and have it run away!

[equivo]

More than understandable!

Post-Teacher, about six months after being arrested, so late December 2011. He's definitely gotten completely over the brainwashing with no lingering effects or any trauma. Which, actually, there's probably the worst conversation starter for them to bond over: mind control.

I'm sure it'll all work out! Everyone's on the same team here, right? They just need a heartwarming adventure to teach them about the power of friendship.

[brat]

but this one's so tiny.

[pangzi]

The only tiny one here is Damian

[brat]

[projected]

this is the worst character I could offer but want a serial killer? im sure mizuki never had to deal with that.

(more seriously i think we threaded very briefly once, i meme around with date sometimes. can i add you?)

[fortitudosalutis]

Oh fuck yeah, let's get super weird :D I've been doing a rewatch of Hannibal recently so I am HERE for this.

[fortitudosalutis]

That works! I'm excited to see where their cr goes. Carver's going to be a little freak the entire time.

[pangzi]

see, this is why Baixi likes having a robot for a Robin. Robinbot never threatens him with revenge.

[brat]

But does Robinbot tell him when he's wrong, or attack him, or snark at him endlessly, or watch him sleep.

[fourthwalled]

Well. I need CR with both of them, and that's just how it is. Wade did just tell Damian that he wanted to get his own sidekick, so if Laura is interested.... although maybe not if she's trying to be better. Wade's trying too. He's just bad at it.

[etiological]

Yeah that's gonna be no for her dawg. But it might help her sympathize, considering Teacher is the next Big Bad on her People to Destroy list.

If this was any other fandom, I might have bought that.

[pangzi]

yes, no, kind of, maybe...

[etiological]

C'mere Bakugo get under Victoria's wing as she slowly makes a new group of young teens that shouldn't be heroes.

re: the picture, Victoria would argue that you can indeed, but the paperwork makes it so not worth the hassle

[keepitgoing]

Peter will be properly mortified by Wade's attempts to be good, but he'll do his best to... be... Jiminy Cricket...........
it will be the hardest trial in his entire life
his universe will probably hinge upon it

Meanwhile, Laura: No, no, don't kill them. Just cut off their arm!
