⏵ March State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello and welcome to Etraya! We were very excited to see all the players interested in our new game when we put up our interest check, and are glad to have you guys join us! Thank you for applying to join Etraya and giving our game a chance. At this point, we have 35 Characters who have applied in for our first round. Given that applications do not close until 3PM PST today, there is still time to get in any last-minute applications! As a heads up, we have updated our FAQ to reflect that mod posts, including mission posts and OOC intros, will be posted at or before 3PM PST on the day they are meant to go up. We don't want to give ourselves a strict time, given we appreciate having the flexibility to make last-minute changes as needed to suit our player base, but do promise we will get them up by 3PM PST. We'll be updating our LOCATIONS page over the next week with additional places based on those who applied and were accepted; if there's any location 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.

PLAYER: diana, she/they
CONTACT: fullofmystery, xolpup@discord or journal DM
ABOUT YOU: possums are good and fun tho i prefer ringtails, they're cute. my current fandoms are Quantum Leap and One Piece live action, though I watch Many Things.

Preferred format is small text, though I will match for consistency. I usually go with shorter tags but I'll also try to match there.

CHARACTER: Ben Song from the Quantum Leap reboot/sequel
CHARACTER INFO: Ben's thrilled to be back in his own body tho everything else sucks. He's got a savior complex though and will spend his time trying to help and make sure All Worlds survive.
CR NOTES: this man is built for found family, he wants to Make Friends and Influence People. He's very patient and very willing to roll with pretty much anything.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I want a broken translator bc Ben's a polyglot. That said, like, team-building by having to solve problems together and also people getting hideously injured.
OTHER: A ringtail pic from the internet and a pic of the puppy who broke into my house last week and I'm now fostering.

Ben Song! So cool to see him in a game like this...perfect fit.

He's also made a very positive impression on Krouse so far just by being nice, and I'd love to expand on that if you're interested! Krouse comes with a lot of problems and one of them happens to be related to a tireless quest involving Saving His Girlfriend, so there are some potential parallels to be had there too.

Definitely want to do more with these two! <3

I am not gonna lie until I seen your character fairly recently I did not know there was a remake I never slapped something up on my sketchy movie/television website so fast and I am very excited to be a creep and see how he interacts with those around him~
I said what I said, 0 shame.

No family like found family.

Looking forward to seeing how Ben fares in game. Very much hoping to toss Sylvie his way.

ben!! hello, i was the clarke that tagged you on the tdm and decided to switch it up by playing a different character of the same canon. i loved our thread even for how short it was and i am super intrigued by him.

i would love to toss octavia his way and see how things go!
