[etrayamods]

⏵ 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. ⏵ OOC INTRO ⏴ Welcome to the game, new arrivals!

PLAYER: Rune
CONTACT: PM, Discord @ runestark, I .. have a plurk and already forgot how to link it. runedwriting there!
ABOUT YOU: I'm terrible at introductions, so uh. Hi, I'm Rune, I'm new here. Current fandoms: Final Fantasies of most flavors, Palworld, Warcraft, I've dipped a toe into Murderbot Diaries. I spent way too much time playing Valheim, and I have a ... vague familiarity with Fate/Grand Order. I have no cool things to share. :| Long tags vs short tags depends on the situation, I'm happy with either! Sometimes I can boomerang but more often ... not, I admit i can be a bit slow.

CHARACTER: I am bringing in Sephiroth, circa Ever Crisis and a bit of CRAU; he's a grand total of 16 and already his life is a living hell, thanks Squeenix.
CHARACTER INFO: Sephiroth is what happens when you bioengineer yourself up a weapon and then spend his entire life teaching him how to murder everything that moves and that human connections are not only completely irrelevant, they're a weakness to be avoided. Unfortunately for Shinra's plans and Hojo's efforts, he does somehow possess a moral compass and is at his heart a good kid who genuinely wants to help and do the right thing, he's just been burned enough where he's wary of reaching out these days.

... He's also not particularly social, is suspicious of anything like Found Family, is slow to trust and is verbally vehemently anti-friendship. He is CAPABLE of friendship and until recently even had a couple, though he refused to actually acknowledge it, and once he decides someone's worth knowing he is tenaciously loyal. This is paired with a strong sense of curiosity and desire to know and learn things, which frequently compels him to act when otherwise he might choose to avoid everyone and everything as long as possible. He has extreme mommy issues, thanks to knowing real mom ditched him, fake mom is an alien, and crau dragon mom is ENTIRELY MISSING. It's going to take him a while to settle in properly, but the intense relief he has over at least looking mostly human again is going to color things for a while.. as is the loss of what few friends and family he'd gathered for himself by virtue of being here. As of right now, I'm not aiming for any particular CR besides "play with me pls", too fresh and shiny new! Gotta look around and see the options.

I have an opt in/out post if you'd like to make use of it.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Ah man. Aside from sexyplots, I can't say there isn't a sort of RP and plot I'm NOT interested in. Soft fluffy cuddle type plots are a bit hard to get involved in, but exploration, mysteries and mayhem are always effortless. I do like a balance of horrific soul destroying angst and nice recovery time in between.

OTHER: His most dangerous weapon is a stick.

Awww, miniroth! I didn't realize this was a thing but I sure am glad it is. Welcome!

[miniroth]

Thank you! He is a tiny menace, and so far only in the gacha game of all things. At sixteen still barely over five foot three, by the time he hits 20 he's six foot 7 or so. It's great, there's bamboo in his genome somewhere.

Ayy. It's the teenager Henry will worry about.

Hello. I'm Ruri. I'm already in-game with Vincent Smith and brought in this loser who has already met the small Sephiroth - and feeling protective of in his own muted way.

[miniroth]

Heeeyyy :D I should like to continue with Henry, for shenanigans. Sephiroth isn't sure if that whole hole in the bathroom thing is true or not but he'll do his best to make sure Henry survives this!

HENRY WILL DO THE SAME FOR SEPHIROTH
