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.

PLAYER: Molly, she/her!
CONTACT: sonopants or PMing works! I just joined the discord server, but I tend to have discord just kinda running in the bg and space out on it often
ABOUT YOU: Hiya! I'm Molly, I'm an animator in Canada, and I'm big into DnD podcasts, comics and manga, musicals, cartoons, vidya games, etc. I love Terry Pratchett novels, and if you want any Discworld recs, I will whip out an entire google doc. My tagging can be kinda spotty sometimes when work is kicking by ass, but I catch up within a few days and will backtag into forever!
CHARACTER: Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl, from Marvel comics!
CHARACTER INFO: Doreen is an optimist who has taken on big intergalactic threats before, so she's ready to save the universe - no, multiverse - with the power of FRIENDSHIP and COMPUTER SCIENCE! She's determined to find a way out of this for everybody!

Character-wise, Doreen is an earnest, dorky goofball who genuinely loves being a superhero! She has a tail, super strength, and a bunch of squirrely powers, and is going to be very upset that there don't seem to be any squirrels here, but she'll deal. I'm taking her from the end of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, so this will be the first time she isn't trying to keep up a secret identity.

CR NOTES: Doreen is very open and friendly, and a great listener! If your character needs a friend, someone who's excellent at punching, or someone to cheer them on as they go through a villainous redemption arc, she's your girl.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I've gotta be honest, I've been helping a friend move this weekend, it's almost 2am, and my brain is mush, so I'm just gonna say I'm up for everything!

[westcoasts]

heeeey fam! my knowledge about doreen is wheezes unfortunately limited to team books BUT SHE SEEMS SUPER CUTE. clint will obvs be familiar with her from the new avengers/that time she was the nanny for luke/jess' kid...

[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!

[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.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

it's ok, Doreen probably mentally refers to him as 'Hawkeye (But Not The One With The Dog)'!

[westcoasts]

clint like wtf man, it's my dog....

(is it tho)

Furry friends 4eva! It was a lot of fun playing with you on the TDM - sorry for bailing on it, work got crazy!

[bad_habit]

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]
