JULY STATE OF THE GAME & ARRIVALS




⏵ July State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴


Hello, Etrayans!

As we're sure you've noticed: Etraya has quickly grown from the small game it was originally intended to be, to having almost one hundred players. While the game has continued to grow, our moderator team has remained the small group we originally started with. We're confident we're capable of maintaining gameplay and putting out missions with our current team. Still, we realize there are areas players may want to interact with that we lack the availability to support as efficiently as we would like to.

The game will continue to run regardless of any additional moderator support we're able to get, but we would like to put out an interest call to see if anyone would like to join the mod team!

Things we could use assistance with:
  • Listkeeping
  • Running activity check
  • Throwing spaghetti at walls
  • NPCs, if playing an NPC is of interest!
  • Getting completed posts up on time
  • Weekend availability would be extremely useful, but isn't necessary
  • Proofreading
  • RNGing characters into roles, such as the family units of the current mission
  • Mission ideas!
This is just an example list; if there's another aspect of modding you may be interested in, feel free to reach out! Our current team shares all tasks, but we're relatively flexible and like to think we're pretty chill. We don't have any requirements, nor will we put up a form for this! If you are interested in assisting with modding Etraya, comment below with what you might like to do, or reach out via the MOD CONTACT post! Please offer a form of contact - either plurk, discord, or Dreamwidth PM, and we'll reach out!

We're currently looking for one additional mod.

As a note, new characters will not arrive in Aurora's hospital! They will arrive either by the space station, or will be dropped in with EOS. We will be detailing this in the log going live tomorrow, Saturday, July 27th.


⏵ 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: Ren
CONTACT: DM | discord: matchadrop | riposte on plurk (I don't actively monitor it but will come if summoned via ping)
ABOUT YOU: I'm already here with Sandalphon so I'm not new-new! But I like jrpgs and high fantasy in particular. Gamer and cat mom at heart, and I typically tag at night US time.

CHARACTER: Yuri Leclerc | Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
CHARACTER INFO:
Born to extreme poverty, Yuri has known struggle all his life. He's scraped and clawed his way up in the world, by charm, by wit, and unsavory means that have left him with a deep sense of self-loathing. Despite a fearsome criminal reputation, Yuri's men sing his praises as a leader who uplifts and inspires them. He yearns to build a world in which no one will die of poverty, though he believes that world should have no place for the likes of him.

To have any hope of achieving that, apparently he has to prove his world deserves to exist first. The goddess is testing him.

CR NOTES:
Yuri will act surface-level friendly, charm is a sharp weapon in his arsenal, but sincere close relationships will take work. Trust will take work. He's one of those fakers with a fake name only his mother and this one snoop who read his mail from her happen to actually know. The tradeoff for a slow burn is that Yuri's a fiercely loyal man, and a shrewd ally to have in one's corner.

Yuri's less guarded around kids, especially orphans. He has a tendency to look out for others, children and the poor especially, because he knows full well how they get trampled underfoot or forgotten by those on high. Ideally, I'd like to see him get a mix of relationships, maybe serve a mentor or big brotherly role to some, get some training buddies, acquaint himself with other schemers, the works. Sincerely goodhearted, honest people will worry him and he'll try to protect them. Eventually I'd like to see him grow to trust people and open up, but it'll take some doing.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
As a Faerghan, Yuri's an mvp at survival, so I'd love to have him use his skills. If exploration and limited supplies are a factor, he's your pretty little champ. He can make leaves and roots appetizing — he's that guy. Also very willing to throw him in the opposite direction, at things he has no idea how to contend with. Give him your space horrors. Give his medieval butt your wild scifi tech (he's actually pretty interested!)

OTHER:
This is him. He loves his mom...


Mission plotting here.

/sits here for her platonic crush on him.

Hello! You know me, I need CR with all your characters.

scoops her up!

Please let Yuri help her to read and write, he'll be happy to. He more or less won the lottery in getting to learn and he knows what a difference it makes.

[personal profile] utinam 2024-07-28 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
yes please scoop her up! she weights nothing. 🤍

Nuvia would never say "no" in receiving help especially when she wants to learn to read and write too. Please offer it to her. She'll greatly appreciate it. ;;

Well now I must find a way just so he can be shocked.

If he can spot her having difficulties or trying to mask that she can't read, he'll definitely broach the subject. There's no shame in not having been taught...his mom learned along with him, even.

[personal profile] utinam 2024-07-28 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Haha! She knows how to control her own gravity so she can be weightless or weight a ton (literally).

In all honesty, she wouldn't hide the fact she doesn't know to read. She's quite honest about it. So if they have a normal conversation, she may just reveal it to him if the subject ever pops up. C:

He'd think that's such a handy trick.

Yuri turns out to be I...think the high school principal? So it could easily come up.

[personal profile] utinam 2024-07-28 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It really is. She has fun messing around with it.

Awesome! They will definitely have to cross paths. I have a TL ready for Nuvia on the first log unless you rather I write something for the second log so they could officially meet?

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-07-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm! If you have ideas for the new mingle, we could do that. What's your preference?

Grabby hands for when things calm down over here, Cloud would love a training buddy! Plus they can bond over defending those who get trampled by The Man and (eventually) having soft spots for kids. You know Yuri would totally run an Avalanche cell in the VII setting XD

Heck yes to all of this! Training with Cloud would be a blast, and they've got great things to bond over when they hit on those commonalities... Now that you say it, that would totally fit for Yuri in a VII context. Stick it directly to The Man!

Dimitri better be ready to eat like a king, finally.

No famine meals when they have so much to work with, mister.

[personal profile] hauntedsnowfall 2024-07-28 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Look luck~! This man is gonna munch on dandelions like a rabbit.
wolfish: (sigh)

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-07-28 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
He'll make food that smells so good Dimitri will have to evaluate his options, just wait and see.

[personal profile] prevail 2024-07-28 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Please consider: Yuri can actually make him dandelion salad, it's a thing and pretty nutritious.

Also edible flowers on meals in general. Let him be a lionbunny if he wants to.
hauntedsnowfall: (smile 02)

[personal profile] hauntedsnowfall 2024-07-28 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I have no doubt that this is going to be a fight Yuri wins. Especially when he caters to Dimitri's interests.
wolfish: (Default)

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-07-28 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
No one can say that Yuri doesn't have a strategy.
equivo: (there ain't nothing that can save me)

[personal profile] equivo 2024-07-28 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
You know who ELSE likes 1. lying 2. being a criminal 3. self-loathing?
wolfish: (Default)

[personal profile] wolfish 2024-07-28 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
KROUSE???

Time to point at each other like that Spiderman meme... It'd be fun for them to hit upon those common points and maybe over time get a better understanding.

They even have the same bangs! Friendship fated in the stars

Yuri's even named for a star, how very fitting.
