⏵ 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.

[unoreverse]

PLAYER: emma (she/her)
CONTACT: baleinette @ plurk or dostoevskyish @ discord
ABOUT YOU: hello chums, i do indeed like possums, we have very cute ones around here! i run on est (mostly) and am not the fastest tagger in the west, but i try my best and that's all that matters xoxo

sydney clarke — vicious

[unoreverse]

CHARACTER: sydney clarke! she's from a book series everyone should read called vicious (she comes from the sequel, vengeful)
CHARACTER INFO: i mean syd would probably make a cat colony ngl, she's more of a dog person though! anyway the IMPORTANT THING is that syd looks young, her aging is fucked up so while she is 18, she looks closer to 14/15 which i'm sure isn't going to annoy her at all when people treat her like a child! she is also always very cold to the touch. she does not sparkle in the sunlight though!
CR NOTES: syd needs friends, she's spent the last like 3 years with three ex-cons doing crime, incidentally, and also some murders! it happens sometimes! she's got powers which would be neat for her to have to use (she brings people back from the dead), people to explore with, she's been cooped up for a while!
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: i love some body horror sry 2 say
OTHER:

ALSO! i know i dropped the ball on her tdm threads, but i'm happy to keep going with them, just lmk!

[brat]

hey syd

come join damian's legion

[unoreverse]

must they call it a legion?

[brat]

They can call it a League

[unoreverse]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[equivo]

I was wondering which canon point she was from...oof ouch Syd.

I'd be very down to continue our TDM thread if you're still interested! Fellow supervillains (via extenuating circumstances, not their fault) (okay that's more true for Syd than Krouse but hey) should unionize, or something.

[unoreverse]

i really like to make my girls Suffer TM.

i will bop over to that thread now and kick it back into drive!! i like them, messy already

[equivo]

Suffering is half the fun of RP!!

And speaking of, yes, very messy - Krouse is going to keep having ten thousand weird shrimp emotions about 'basic human contact' and 'someone being nice to him for no reason', sorry about that Sydney. (Not to mention the 'currently recovering from superpowered brainwashing' which, maybe a little bit relevant to Syd's life experiences.)

[skaikru]

i don't know the how or the where or the why yet, but i do know i would greatly enjoy tossing these two together. even if it's JUST for a moment of "her name is my name too" 🤣

[unoreverse]

LMAO yes! that would be funny just spider-man pointing across the room

[skaikru]

petition for someone with the name "griffin sydney" or "sydney griffin" to also app, just so we can complete the meme lmfao

[plangona]

emma!! i went with apping in octavia instead of clarke who i tagged you with but! i would love to get cr with either of yours with her.

[unoreverse]

YESSSSSS

willa might actually be better for octavia because abrasive personalities don't bother her lmao and sydney would be more likely to flounce but i def want to try them both!

[revengeisalie]

Hanging with criminals and doing some murders sounds......... familiar 8D;;

[unoreverse]

time to booooooooooooond!

[revengeisalie]

They really should! That's gonna be funny lmao

[morethan084]

She doesn't sparkle in the sunlight? Sorry, but I'm out.

(JK)

[unoreverse]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW

wow daisy

wow

[myagic]

Needs friends, huh? 👀 I'm totally canonblind so I don't know how these two might get along but I imagine it'd be fun to put them together and see what happens!

[unoreverse]

i am also canonblind so i'm excited to learn a new thing!

willa lisieux — original

[infirmiere]

CHARACTER: willa! she's an oc!
CHARACTER INFO: she's ancient but also 23, immortal baby who dies and then is reborn and lives a whole new life, it's very annoying because sometimes she remembers when she is very young and becomes the world's most unsettling six year old, sometimes she doesn't remember until she's 28 and dying again, tragic! she's also a healer, via water, though she doesn't know or care to know if she can do more with water than just healing, she's already in high demand with healing!
CR NOTES: friends, roman, countrymen, anyone for her to bother with her little rat face (affectionate), any child that wants a weapon and needs an adult to get it for them because they'll probably be fine, old fucks who want someone who predates a lot of modern electronic technology and also the printing press, idk
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: vibes, body horror bc she will fix it!
OTHER: rat princess

[dawnfacing]

I have wanted Sylvie and her to be friends since I saw the app, NGL.

[infirmiere]

she will love her immediately because sylvie is her partner's name lmao and she misses his stupid rat face

and she was probably alive in the 1920s and speaks french fluently (although hers can be very archaic sometimes whoops) so she could be a little balm of comfort for sylvie maybe?

[dawnfacing]

Any French-speaker is a saint in this weird place that she's probably dreamed up, so I think a big balm of comfort, really.

And she will be happy to remind Willa of something nice. Sylvie is a firm believer that people are all made up of parts from those they've cared about and loved so reminders are good in general and good reminders are the bee's knees.

So, go ahead, reminisce with her.
