NOVEMBER STATE OF THE GAME

[etrayamods]

⏵ November State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴ Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to almost December! Our December plans mod-wise are fairly minimal - we have our intro/mingle log going up later this evening (with a surprise twist!) and then another intro log going up December 20th, but no other mod logs planned between then. We will use this time to focus on individual player plots (so please submit those if you'd like!) and catch up with other mod work, such as the locations page. In the meantime, we hope you all have a nice holiday season! Our next feedback post is going up on December 19th - but we welcome feedback throughout the year regardless of if there's a specific post asking for it! If you have any comments, questions, concerns, our Mod Contact page is always open! The feedback post provides a non-screened space for players to communicate with the mod team, and we do our best to respond to concerns brought to us there - as well as respond to suggestions. Don't forget your Activity! This is just a comment with your handle and characters' names for new players. You are welcome to submit TDM threads for activity points if wanted. ⏵ 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.

PLAYER: Jen (she/her)
CONTACT: Feel free to add me on plurk at aurajen. I lurk around a lot but I check it pretty frequently, so it's a good way to get in touch with me if you want to plot.
ABOUT YOU: Surprising no one given my choice in character, I'm big into both video games and the horror genre, but I dip my toes into a little bit of everything if it catches my interest. I play various vidya (please ignore my massive backlog) but I'm especially into most things Soulsborne (and Soulslikes), Zelda, [insert survival horror franchise here], and Final Fantasy. I'm also an MCU simp (I'm sorry) and big into Stranger Things (season 5 when, I'm dying over here).

I can never think of more interesting things to put here!! I'm just excited to play with everyone, friends both old and new.

CHARACTER: James Sunderland (Silent Hill 2)

CHARACTER INFO: I'm playing James, AKA that guy who did absolutely nothing wrong. I'm taking him from one of the endings from the remake (Stillness), so he's still [redacted] after [redacted].

On a more informative note, he's just a Normie who visited a town that warped into hell and fed into his delusions, guilt, and anxieties while he was just looking for his wife. He's from the entry that has that Pyramid Head guy. Over all, it was not a fun time.

But he's here now! And he's tired and a little self-hating bUT SURELY IT'S OKAY, it's time for him to make new friends(?) and see where Etraya life takes him. James is mostly quiet and kinda introverted; he's described as "surly" and rarely smiling, though the truth is that he's friendly once you get to know him. Kind of in that vaguely awkward way. I reiterate that he is a Normie but by horror protag standards: still really resilient and stronger than he looks, surprisingly good with a firearm, beats up monsters with a pipe.

Ultimately, he's sad and wet and needs friends, please be his friend.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: James is the perfect character for horror elements both big and small, but I'll also give everyone the cop-out newbie answer: I want everything. He needs to get his footing first and foremost, so I'm here for throwing him into all sorts of situations.

God I loved the remake. SH2 was one of my favorite games and the remake is just so good. If you ever need someone to drag him into situations feel free to let Lois do it. She's good at that.

[redsquares]

the remake exceeded my expectations and i couldn't have been happier for it, it was SO STRESSFUL but good

and yes, absolutely, drag him into all the Situations!! they can both get into trouble

TOWEL HIM OFF, IVAN

[reapoman]

Now imagine a psychic medium drenched in evil, who's got her own personal mini haunting that can affect anyone near her.

Wrap in a bow and you've got a portable Silent Hill just for James.

he hates it, thanks... which of course means he must run into vanessa at some point
