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.

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! 🌈

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.

[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

[wannasmash]

dnw I love canonblind cross canon, it's fun to see people's reactions to "I go to hero school." And Sokka is so fun. Welcome to the game!

[sokkcasm]

be prepared for sokka to invent some word like herobending bc everything not baseline human to him is bending lmfaooo

[maximumlegend]

oh gosh, i would LOVE to get some cr with sokka. hi, i'm jelle and i play fabian seacaster here from dimension 20 fantasy high! IT'S FINE IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM, all i have to say is that he's got very similar vibes to sokka, so cr with these two would probably be a HOOT!! easily annoying people by being yourself? mommy and daddy issues? seen too much shit despite being a teen? MANBUN?? they've got it all, baby!!

time to become bros, sokka.

[sokkcasm]

hello!! i do not in fact know anything about d20 but i can already sEE THE VIBES and i'm totally down for them to become bros absolutely, sokka always needs more ppl to enable his obnoxiousness
