OCTOBER STATE OF THE GAME




⏵ October State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴


Hello, Etrayans!

Welcome to the end of October! We hope you enjoy the Halloweeny mingle log that is going up alongside this post. 🎃

As a heads up: headmod will take a bit of a break through November due to life getting busy elsewhere! However, the mission, TDM, and everything else will go up as scheduled. Mod responses may be a little slower (as they have been through October also due to how unexpectedly busy it's been, our bad!) but outside of that, everything should still be running as usual!

November is a mission month, but it will be a little more light-hearted in comparison to the previous mission! Using the feedback we received on our last post, we will be condensing the amount of time missions run down to one to two weeks, but will keep our schedule otherwise the same as it has been. This should, hopefully, give players time to complete their mission threads while also leaving plenty of space for characters to get into shenanigans around Etraya itself.

If you have any questions, please put them under the mod queries top-level below.

Additionally, don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players.

Oh man. Hernan has absolutely no experience with kryptonite so that would be amazing.

sadly for hernan, he lacks clark's advantage of reminding damian that his bestie wouldn't want to play with him anymore if he killed his dad, so :' (

he'll get to enjoy the fun of being threatened and stalked constantly. as bats do

i don't have billy in game here anymore but!!

damian is constantly finding things to dig into re: etraya, the bubble, the mystery around it, and if wanda can tolerate a shortie being bossy and demanding, damian is lacking a witch in his current collection of detectives/heroes/people he considers sidekicks which he clearly needs to fix

PLAYER: Keith, they/them
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] redfielding or Delphically on discord.
ABOUT YOU: I’ve been in rp for ages starting with aim/irc chats up to now on dw. My fandoms include: Ace Attorney, SMT/Persona, Resident Evil, Hollow Knight, The Raven Cycle, Six of Crows duology, Percy Jackson… books, anime and video games in general? I like to write as a hobby, love reading, and I talk about all the things on plurk. My tagging speed is pretty sporadic, mostly tagging in the mornings or throughout the day on my phone.

CHARACTER: Trafalgar D. Water Law from One Piece.

CHARACTER INFO: Also known as the Surgeon of Death, Law is the Captain of the Heart Pirates. He’s quiet (or well quieter than most of his peers), likes to plan and scheme (though ask him how many of his plans have worked recently) and is currently in an alliance with one Monkey D. Luffy. He’s also a giant nerd as his own hobbies are collecting rare coins and comic books but this side of him doesn’t come out as much.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I’m very interested in everything that the mods have to give. I’m looking forward to plots that give information about the bubble and what may lay beyond, and plots that would also allow major change to their environment (if any arise). Law is looking for information about his surroundings since he has barely anything to go on, so he’ll want to start building connections. Please come meet this grumpy doctor.

PLAYER: fel (they/them)
CONTACT: carrier pigeon. lilithscord is my discord tho.
ABOUT YOU: I loveee jrpgs and horror games. Right now I'm playing persona 6 metaphor: refantazio. But I like suikoden, final fantasy, xenosaga, tales of series, fatal frame, silent hill, spirit hunter: death mark + ng. All that good stuff. I should note that I'll be somewhat of a slow tagger right now, as there's been a family emergency. I'm a caregiver for my job and for the family BUT I am happy to be here!!

CHARACTER: Hyrilis Zachariae | Original Character.
CHARACTER INFO: My boy here is a teacher, and maybe, if you get enough info out of him, in the military. He looks like he's serious, but I can assure you, he's very casual and everyone's Dad back home. Overall, a pretty good guy with not many things bugging him. He's good for a therapist, if you need it, and also a pretty good fighter, if you need that too. But he's a bit of a glass cannon so keep him in the back.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: THE SOFT FLUFFY MISSIONS because he likes the light hearted things tbh. He's a bit traumatized from his world giving him the world's shittiest missions so he'll be happy to take the happier stuff. Although, he'll also be good for horror and mystery. Not really a detective of sorts, but he's seen some stuff and I'd like to traumatize him some more thanks.

Also, i'd like for him to set up a school at some point? So that he can have some normalcy away from home.
OTHER: PLEASE don't be shy and feel free to bother me at anytime.

Hi! I'm Scout and I've just got this guy - Linhardt von Hevring.

Who would seem to have quite a bit in common with 6! They're both introverted knowledge guys from leadership/noble backgrounds forced into doing things and bureaucracy.Though this incarnation of Lin is by far the most active: Guilt and personal affection can sometimes get him to do things. Still, his primary hobbies are research and napping.

He wants to see you turn into a bird. Do it.

HELLO!! Junior was Dean and Cas' assigned son during the suburban family mission and he hangs out at Dean's place constantly. Sad he didn't meet sad Cas, but I'm looking forward to him hanging with the less sad version.

waittttt your taste in games is great - i haven't played the death marks but sh:ng is one of my favourites!! also hello i wanted to stop by and mention that i've been enjoying our thread on the tdm too!

[personal profile] sleepfan 2024-10-25 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi! My name is Scout and I play Linhardt von Hevring. This guy. He's from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, so he's from Ye Fake Olden Times, but he is their token science/math/research guy, blending it with magic.

Which is to say he's very numbers friendly and can absolutely understand why 37 prefers them to words. Numbers inherently make sense! He also has trouble with people, and if you're looking for someone who will argue with her, Lin is... very strident when he thinks he's right about something. So I think they have a fair amount in common even if she's more logical and numeric than he is.

And he wants to see the dolphin.

PLAYER: jade, she/her
CONTACT: pm!
ABOUT YOU: hi! i'm jade, i just got here in this last round, and i'm really really into hunterxhunter. i like drawing, studying, designing, and honestly, sleeping... my tag speed nowadays varies a lot, but i lean more towards the fast/medium speed!

CHARACTER: chrollo lucilfer, the villain of hxh as the leader of the phantom troupe.
CHARACTER INFO: well! giving the least spoilers possible and as tldr i can be, chrollo hails from meteor city, a town of 8-10 million people that doesn't exist to the world at large. they aren't documented in any shape or form, most people in the world don't know it even exists, and it's a trash dumping site for the world's nations, and it's a-real bad. as a result, chrollo and his friends became an entity known as the phantom troupe/the spider, the worst people ever, very murderous, very stealing, not at all mindful - please check his opt-out and feel free to do so!

chrollo himself is very calm, collected, unshakable, and intellectual, but he is acting a lot of the time. he has outstanding acting skills and is taking the role of an academic to blend in and get intel more easily. his entire identity is the spider, and being far from them doesn't keep him from being part of it, so expect the mask to fall off eventually... even though he has a bunch of identity crises as to who he has become and who he is at this point. also fun.

also last but not least, for a while, he's going to be wearing a bandana around his forehead to hide the tattoo. it's a thing.
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: literally all of the things that were listed in this section! i also would like to explore themes of cycles, identity, and loss... and also i wanna try and see what he can do in the setting, even if his powers are limited, there's still a lot he can play with.

HI HELLO. I'm so happy to see someone playing from such a great but underappreciated DC movie. I love that AU so much and it's damn shame the staff couldn't make a sequel.

Jason is used to Boy Scout Supes so he'll be curious that this one's got a cooler jacket and a different attitude.

Also I may or may not have a barely used Kirk journal that I need to give more love

Hi Scout!! I gasped when I saw your comment because hold on, these two could be great friends I think you're making points. Kind of giving cats who just sit near each other and call that bonding.

We can call that his Halloween Trick perhaps, easy mode.

Harold is not even a little prepared for this and I love that for them.

Let's definitely plan on doing something on the intro mingle! I need to read over the prompts again and apply my brain to it... he might be standing around reciting the first hundred digits of pi to win a prize, which is not going to help his math teacher reputation with Heather. LOL

Also, would you like to be plurk friends? Feel free to send a request if so!!

ETA: Put my starter up over here!!

[personal profile] sleepfan 2024-10-25 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Exactly! I was going to make a quip about that type of introvert friendship, actually. The difficulty being that they like and respect each other so much they never talk. Big parallel play/reading in the same room vibes.

Even if it's easy mode, Linhardt thinks it's impressive and has a lot of questions. Which he's more than happy to ask via written notes if talking in person is too much. Because sometimes it is. And talking is so much easier in text format...

it's nice to meet you scout! we can be from ye olden times together, even though 37 is from like 2007, they're like ancient greeks in a way. 37 isn't a science girl, but math and research with magic? she's all about that!! and yes, another like-minded individual who certainly must understand that with how universal math is that its more honest than the words spoken. i think with him being math and research she'd want to learn what his role is and see if she can apply his findings and teachings to her issue since she's also handling a big job like that.

what happens when two people who think they're right walk into a room together. it'll be good because on the island they would do debates very often so she's prepared for this, she would argue to hell and back until given a proof and THEN she'll change her ways. i hope lin can enjoy himself when the debate starts

also can lin swim this is very important to dolphin seeing
