⏵ 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. Those who have not completed this by the day AC closes will be removed from the game. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Please use the below form to introduce yourselves (or don't, we're not cops, introduce yourself how you want) and let us know of any upcoming plans you're looking forward to in game!

PLAYER: C, he/him
CONTACT: c_for_characters
ABOUT YOU: Hi, I'm C, and I play from a whole bunch of fandoms. I'm never any good at talking about myself, but I'm thrilled to meet all of you, and I'll backtag fun threads into infinity. I also promise you I don't mind slow! (Given my work schedule I'm not the world's fastest either!)

CHARACTER: Mal Durrish here, my Jedi OC from Star Wars: Legends
CHARACTER INFO: She is absolutely not ready to be the one that has to step up to bat and save her world. She's dealing with enough imposter syndrome already - her Jedi abilities were installed artificially. (I know, it might sound a bit like bad fanfic, but I swear it's actually canon and was a cool plot point in some games.) Is she a real Jedi? Is she up to this? What's it like to actually be around people? All questions she has to answer!

CR NOTES: I'm up for absolutely everything! I'm great with canon, cross canon, zany, friends, enemies, the works!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm really looking forward to the collaborative element and the mystery of the place.

OTHER: Since Mal only exists in some fanart and game screenshots, so...anybody got some fun Star Wars: Legends memes?

I am excited for more Mal and Sylvie! And to share a game with you, utterly excited!

They hit it off surprisingly well, yes! Definitely looking forward to more :)

Yay, always happy to see a fellow Legends denizen! :D Fett's gonna get such a headache if he finds out people are just going around MAKING Jedi now. Weren't things bad enough when this was all decided by genetic lottery?! Anyway, I'm naturally eager for CR between these two and to see where it goes. Fett has somewhat softened his view of Jedi recently and will even make an attempt to play nice since they're both gunning for the same galaxy, but, well. He's an asshole on the best of days, so we'll see :`D

We're rare as hen's teeth, but we're tenacious? :P

In fairness, they've locked down the problem, so at least he won't have to worry about it any MORE. (Mass-produced Jedi has to be up there in the list of "Top Five Mandalorian Nightmares", come to think of it.)

It'll be fun. She's sarcastic and has been through a lot, so it could go both ways.
