⏵ January State of the Game and Arrivals ⏴

Hello, Etrayans! Welcome to 2025!

We've got some big plans for this upcoming year, and we look forward to getting the opportunity to share them with you! Our next mission plotting post will be going up on January 20th, with the mission log following that Friday, January 24th. While we won't spoil too much of it, we will note here that we do not have a set end date for this mission - meaning the outcome of it is fully up to you, the players! We will be putting up a log or an OOC post with the end results of the mission depending on when we know the results there.

We have also gone through the CALENDAR and made sure that everything there is aligned through June.

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

PLAYER: chai
CONTACT: tentamenace @ plurk/discord
ABOUT YOU: currently, I'm deep in Hades II brain rot but I'm also a long-time Final Fantasy fan. I enjoy 90s shoujo anime a lot. The most recent canon I binge watched was Arcane. outside of rp and digital hobbies though, I enjoy watercoloring and cross-stitching/embroidery.

CHARACTER: Ardyn Izunia
CHARACTER INFO: Ardyn is, on a surface level, very theatrical and seemingly unbothered by a lot. The man doesn't appear to take much seriously and makes jokes or pokes fun in even dire circumstances. He can come across as creepy, suggestive but also civil, composed, and calm even in the face of hostility.

This is all just thinly veiled attempts to provoke others though since he's basically got some literal demonic sludge disease in his body that tells him to be an asshole. He also is just kind of an asshole sometimes without it needing to influence him, but still! He's a man who believes revenge is a dish best served cold, meticulously, and over several years but also wants an end to his exhausting, miserable existence once he gets it. Nihilism, babe-y!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: personally, my favorite genres are horror (body, psychological, etc.) and I tend to gravitate towards the darker, grittier plotlines as a result. I'm fine with fluff and softness in doses, but prefer things to be at least some flavor of fucked up!

ardyn is also, notably, a villainous type who comes with a lot of potential content warnings so be mindful of that. he's going to struggle a bit at first having his one sole purpose in life ripped out from under him and needing to re-direct. once over that crisis though, it won't be long before he'll be looking to start causing problems on purpose here. he doesn't buy the whole schtick that their worlds are actually dead or that he was brought here because of his """potential."""

basically, he's going to see if he misbehaves enough if they'll kick him out and he can go back to dying according to his narrative instead of this one. thanks but no thanks, Echo, he's got other plans.

OTHER: how I feel about Ardyn Izunia at any given moment
