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.

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.

Hiya!

I'm so happy to discover that Bakugo's nasty reputation is preceding him, though Deku probably only said the like, 2 nice things about him. I'll have to go snoop. ;)

I'd love to have some 'teen boys giving each other shit' shenanigans, it sounds right up my alley!

It was a pretty glowing review, yeah.

Fantastic! Krouse is of the overly cocky and smug variety of teenager just smart enough to manage being an idiot creatively, so I think the friction will produce some entertaining sparks. And maybe explosions.

[nitropowered]

Oh god, Deku, embarrassing. Just admit Bakugo's a giant bully.......

So they have a lot in common, is what you're saying. I can't tell if he'd love someone who's a lot like him that way, or hate them (his best friend other than Deku in canon is a pretty low-key guy who just ignores his outbursts and decided they're friends).

There will definitely be explosions.

It's too late. His soft and gooey center of heroism is known! Or Deku is out of his mind, which is an option Krouse is willing to entertain.

I'm excited to find out which way it goes. Krouse can be abrasive, but he's also trying not to make actual enemies. Either way, he's pretty good about not taking hyperbolic threats all that seriously, and he's got a maybe too casual level of diffidence about people throwing explosions at him. That's what being able to teleport is basically for, really.

[nitropowered]

The worst. He'll have to make sure to punish Deku appropriately at some point soon.

Sounds like it might just work out! I hope it does, but I'm excited to see how it works out either way. I'm excited for this CR!
