SEPTEMBER STATE OF THE GAME
 ⏵ September State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Thank you for your patience as we work through our growing pains. We're still figuring out what pacing works best with our player base, and are adjusting as well as we can to ensure the game is fun for everyone involved! We do have our September Feedback Post, which we invite you to use to let us know if you have any questions/concerns/feedback/ideas that can assist in making the game easier to engage with for you. We would like to remind everyone that we are continuing to use one plotting post for each mission. For this mission, this would be our plotting post that went up in early September! As we have new players joining us, we would encourage you to please check it out to see if there are any new comments. We have also edited the FAQ to cover topics that were asked about under the mod queries header, to save players reading through all the individual questions. Additionally, don't forget your Activity! For new players, this is just their comment with their handle and their characters' names. This is due before October 1st.  ⏵ 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. |

ABOUT YOU: It's only in the last few years that I've gotten more into comics. Much of my DC and Marvel knowledge comes from adaptations such as the DCAU and MCU and I'm still quite fond of superhero adaptations even though I'm starting to get more context from the source materials.
In RL, I have a full-time white collar job and there'll be times when I'm slow because of that. I’m in EST. However, threads with me never have an expiration date so I'm always open to backtagging! I'm also open to text, bracket style, and prose-style in RP. I have the most experience with bracket and text. I can always use more practice with prose. In terms of tone, I'm open to both silly and more serious ones, especially since this Jason is capable of both.
I also have a feedback post that's always open.
CHARACTER: Jason Todd from the free Webtoon series Batman: Wayne Family Adventures
CHARACTER INFO: Jason is a snarky introvert who gets protective of the people he likes once he warms up to them enough. The WFA version of the DC world is one that's relatively softer and there's way more acknowledgment of one's own feelings and better coping mechanisms. This version of Jason is an example of that but still carries plenty of drama and can still brood like any good Bat. He will definitely want to investigate into the mysteries of Etraya and somehow find a way to leave. He's not too keen on how only a few worlds could be saved. I have no specific goals in mind for Jason and happy to just wing things.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Lots of types! Horror, drama, mystery, main game plot, exploration. I'm a sucker for angst, drama, and events that have characters reveal things about themselves they wouldn't usual talk about. Events involving memory sharing for example.
OTHER:
Canon dating profile, folks! He's available.

Lin does have an interest in mental health/coping and is disturbed by his own dissociative tendencies sometimes, so someone who is actually aware of things like feelings and coping with them might be nice - his canon doesn't know shit about mental health. :|

I’m thinking maybe they nerd-bond first as a way to break through their introverted tendencies. Jason’s going to want to go right into investigating mode so that could be a start too.
He will absolutely be sympathetic and notice Linhardt’s symptoms. Jason canonically has gone through panic attacks and a recent chapter has him have an episode that was almost dissociative. Him and his family know the techniques to get through those episodes so he’ll absolutely help out Linhardt.
Kind of related but Jason enjoys the Jane Austen-era of literature so Linhardt coming from fantasy medieval won’t be off-putting for Jason at all.

Nerd bond is always a solid in with Linhardt: his curiosity is the one thing that will override his wariness around people, and it's also so good for him to meet other nerds. He's a magical theory/magical science nerd but in his world scientific knowledge is restricted/forbidden. So while there are some nerds, the truly experimental/crazy science guys are rare. That's why I like throwing him at people from modern canons: They meet him and they're like 'oh, you're a science guy.' Lin's met like... two other nerds and both of them are more practical and willing to let things go than Lin is. So meeting people who don't think he's stupid for having mostly theoretical interests is great for him.

Linhardt when somebody's reaction other than his closest friends isn't "Get over it" like...seems sus... he actively notes that his distress at seeing other people hurt has gone away and that's maybe not a good thing, but almost everyone else is just glad he's stopped whining as much and participates in the war more now. :| Please do validate his lack of feelings is not a good thing.

Jason will definitely validate what Lin's going through. Constant combat is a hell of a thing anyone to go through. :(

Feudal societies blow, man. They blow.

It means Tim is older than Jason. They've flight of the navigatored.
no subject
I'm inclined to think the profile is kinda old and Jason's probably 20? Closer to 21? instead given just how many events are apparently canon in WFA. That being said, Jason and Tim's age gap in Etraya not being what they're used to is hilarious and I'm willing to roll with it.
