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. 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. <b>PLAYER:</b> your name/handle, and your preferred pronouns if you want to provide them! <b>CONTACT:</b> your plurk, discord, carrier pigeon's name to call out to the wind to get their attention <b>ABOUT YOU:</b> what fandoms are you in? what cool thing about you do you think would be fun to share? are you more of a texty tagger, a log tagger, quick boomeranger? <b>CHARACTER:</b> who have you apped? what canon are they from? <b>CHARACTER INFO:</b> are they rowdy and loud? an introvert who needs an extrovert to adopt them and take them out into the world? how are they going to settle into game? is there anything in particular you're looking for with them? <b>PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:</b> mostly for us mods: tell us things you're interested in! are you here more for horror elements, the mystery, soft fluffy missions, or the plot behind why echo has called everyone in? do you want to explore the world and figure out what's beyond the bubble etraya resides in? let us know! <b>OTHER:</b> this is for pretty pictures or gifs.

PLAYER: sami, she/her
CONTACT: turian or pm.
ABOUT YOU: hiii i am sami. i am a 30-something who decided to return to college and am in my senior year. tagging can be sporadic because of this. i'm into ffxiv, alien stage (obvs), link click, gbf, kuroshitsuji, twisted wonderland, and vaguely genshin impact (i love haikaveh). probably some other stuff i'm forgetting to list because memory bad. please be nice to me. it's the law.

CHARACTER: weirdo mcfreak, aka ivan from alien stage.
CHARACTER INFO: ivan comes across as sort of withdrawn, especially when not putting on a personality. he's an expert at masking and learned to do so to protect himself in his world. the personality he's adopted for himself leads people who don't look too closely to see him as mature and a little mysterious, and his fandom considers him "handsome, gentle and professional." basically, he'll adapt whatever personality he needs to in order to get by. his "guardians" report him as being slow to emotionally develop, and so he sometimes struggles with that. in reality, he has a pretty twisted personality due to his upbringing and the world he comes from, where humans are pets to an alien race called segyein. he is also pretty singularly fixated (understatement) on a specific person from his canon, and so while he'd probably accept someone's feelings out of boredom (if they made the mistake of doing so), he'd be pretty much the most absent boyfriend ever. he is also dealing with something re: this person, though, so...

i'm really bad at summarizing, so feel free to read his app here or ask questions...
PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: ....yes. i think.
OTHER:

he points at gay people

[pethetic]

till will be campaigning heavily for ivan to find a hobby now that he doesnt have a job

[ivan]

wym he has a job

[pethetic]

if he doesnt get paid its not a job and that doesnt make it a hobby its probably a crime

[ivan]

you’re right. it’s so wonderful that the kleptomania can be useful in adulthood

[pethetic]

KLEPTOMANIA ISNT A HOBBY OR A JOB AND IVAN NEEDS TO NOT DO CRIMES

[ivan]

till can’t tell him what to do if ivan is avoiding him because he doesn’t know how to process his emotions!!! get wrecked!!!! (hey siri play “bad boy” by cascada since jaz isn’t familiar thanks siri)

[pethetic]

not bad boy…

jeez no alien parents to suck up to and no till to keep him busy. RIP etraya for the havoc wrought from someone who can barely feel things doing everything he can to have .5% of even a single fun

[reapoman]

two... two dark-haired weirdos named ivan. (count von count laugh)

this won't get confusing at all lmao. these two absolutely gotta meet
