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.

eobard would be deeply tired of Spidey from the first interaction, but i think he would enjoy Laura being a feral thief who stabs when required. he's not a good adult though so if you want a bad influence for her let me know.

[projected]

on the one hand, eobard hates batpeople. on the other hand, baixi seems charming so if he wants to meet a villain just let me know.

[brat]

look at all he's missing out on.

dw, damian will fix it by attacking him near-immediately

[etiological]

I need Peter to bring back color into Victoria's life please.

Also she will definitely feel immediately compelled to be a Good Example for Laura.

[projected]

oh man he solves his problems with murder? eobard does that all the time for even minor inconveniences.

[fourthwalled]

Wade is completely unbothered by someone calling him names and screaming at him. If anything it will make him want to needle him more and never leave and decide they are friends whether Bakugo likes it or not so....

[adorabrawler]

No, never... A hideous combination. We must see how it goes.

And you can definitely add me if you wish!

[keepitgoing]

hey hey hey!!!! maybe Laura will be a good influence on HIM! Uno reverse card!

... Which is to say, absolutely, she needs to have some bad adults in her life to confuse her endlessly. It will make up for Spider-Man obnoxiously tormenting Eobard with everything that he is.

[retribue]

not elisabeth assuming he's a vampire if she finds out his hobbies
but yes!! this would be some very interesting cr

[equivo]

Victoria and Krouse handshaking on 'would rather explode than have that discussion'. Her wanting to throw Teacher down an elevator shaft is more than enough for him! Maybe she's...surprisingly acceptable.

I mean you could argue Taylor Hebert very effectively harnessed the power of friendship. For certain values of 'friendship'.

[keepitgoing]

CAN DO!!!! He may be a hot mess any given moment, but by god he tries to be optimistic!

while also second-guessing himself and fretting the whole time--

Also Laura will absolutely appreciate any and all powered types. 😌💕 FRIENDS.

[projected]

damn what a concept! could happen though.

but yes this sounds like a plan. shame eobard will want the spider teenager to die immediately :/

[brat]

the narcissism wouldn't even throw damian off, it's him making someone as dumb as barry allen his whole personality like

thawne

you're smarter than this :'(

but i am stoked to see him in game and see what shenanigans he gets into! also stoked to see.. how he and damian end up getting along

[fourthwalled]

Poor Peter. He'll definitely have his work cut out for him. But I'm excited for the inevitable nonsense.

asdfghjkl; ha! yes, perfect! Both Wade and Laura are both going to need a babysitter.

[brat]

laura and damian's tdm thread is cavity-inducingly cute and i'm stoked for them to get into chaos together.

[relished]

yes good, excited for any weird cr that may evolve

(all of his cr is weird)

[nitropowered]

Omg, yes. Love that for them. Bakugo would argue that he's DESTINED to be a hero, and the best hero out there, but tbh he needs some therapy first.

Haha, amazing. Bakugo just likes shouting "go die" and "I'll kill you" at people. And his hero name might be Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight...

[relished]

not vampire, just murderous. excited to see her around!!

[equivo]

Hello and welcome!

Semi-retired teen villain regular civilian Krouse here has heard some things about Mr. Murder Explosion Dynamight from his superhero pal Deku, and I'd be happy to offer him up for some lighthearted 'teen boys giving each other shit' shenanigans. He'd be very entertained by the contrast between Bakugo and Midoriya.

[mockingbirdy]

hello!!

i have never seen a spiderman movie but bobbi is concerned about this young peter fellow and would love to be friends and science buddies with him!

[projected]

on paper he is smarter. in practice, he got his ego bruised once and dedicated his life to being a hater.

but yes, im so curious how it'll shake out since he doesn't have a high opinion of the bat-people as a baseline lol

[etiological]

She was mentoring a therapy group of young wannabe heroes before coming here so she'll take it up to herself to keep doing that (mainly because she might lose her mind if idle for too long).

Ooooh boy she'll be immediately reminded of Magic Knight Crash, Mystic Magic Impaler and Dynamite Warrior Dash Fantastic, who are three literal weaboos from her world. that are actually a little too trigger happy.

[nitropowered]

Love it. Please needle Bakugo so, so, so, so, so much. He deserves it. And he actually...does pretty well with people who just decide they're friends and act like it.

Also not Wade having my birthday (day and month anyway).

[retribue]

clearly he knows where to find a good snack 🫢

[keepitgoing]

FOR THE BEST, this poor dude has been through the wringer 😭

Just having a pal will be such a delight for him at this point, LMFAO
