GROUP INTRO POST

GROUP INTRO POST
Welcome to the game, wild things!
Since we have an influx of a few new people at once, here's a group intro post for everyone that's new this app cycle to say hi!
If you're new, feel free to introduce yourself and your character in the comments below!
✦ You can feel free to use this post for setting up starting CR. The game's player plotting/cr meme will also be posted on 4/7/18. So keep an eye out!
✦ Much like many games, the game rotates between periods of plot and downtime. Unlike other games, the periods of downtime are set in temporary camp locations instead of the same game setting. The game is currently in a camp cycle at Melai Temple. Your IC intro posts should take place in that setting and you're free to tag any other posts set there. Please see the Melai Temple post for timelines on when the plot will move forward. ICly, your characters can be handwaved as having arrived only a day or so after camp started.
✦ Please take a look at the Crossroads Post that's up and start thinking about the potential choices. When the camp cycle is over, characters will ICly have a chance to discuss which way to go and have a vote.
✦ Feel free to post on the network! So far, everyone's been working on their first logs but the network is open as well.
✦ The game has a setup where if a player has more than one character, they can only have one character on the main quest (but can swap them at any time). Currently, all characters in game are on the main quest. On 4/6/18 there will be a plot where players with more than one character will have their secondary characters sent to the Brugh for the first time. These characters will then explore the Brugh and broadcast their exploration over the network for other characters on the main quest to participate in.

Anita Fite (played by July)
Anita's keeping her canon powers, which is to say vodoun (with her favorite spell teleportation mildly nerfed) and the ability to very temporarily telepathically command sapients with her voice if they can't make the will save, basically. Hope you guys enjoy looking for critters in the woods, because to get the stronger use out of her vodoun, there's going to be animal sacrifices involved.
I can't wait to see how she interacts with a way more magical environment than the DC universe generally is, since mystical characters tend to be kept more on the sidelines in universe, and have the fun of interacting with a whole bunch of different people besides the YJs. She can be pretty bossy, but only when she thinks it's needed.
And on my side, I just got out of the navy and am VERY EXCITED to be able to RP again with a schedule that actually allows for it. In case you guys want to know about camels, all you have to know is that they are absolute unrepentant jerks.

I'm Lisa and I play Dixon from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and since he's a character with ugly subject matter I have an opt-out if you want to use it for anything. I think we ran into each other before and I had the mistaken impression that your username was from a Laura Veirs song. It's cool to cross paths again!
Anita looks like she's going to bring some much interesting creepiness to the mix (telepathy and animal sacrifice? sign me up). I'm looking forward to playing with her and you're welcome to have her boss Dixon around, he's weak-willed af.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm probably going to hold off on opt-outs between Anita and Dixon, largely because it will definitely result in some interesting CR in the long run.
Anita's telepathic commands aren't that creepy (except I guess in how she even has that, and I may have volunteered that up for use in the future for some trouble for the group, oops) but the animal sacrifice can definitely be a surprise, if the other characters aren't expecting it. It'll be very interesting to see how she and Dixon end up interacting in general.

Maximum shock value if it's the cutest, fluffiest bunny in the woods.
I'll definitely be interesting. We'll see where it goes!

I'm Stefan and I'm playing Alacruun here.
I feel like Alacruun here would be interested in her weird mystic powers because he loves learning about all things magic. Not sure if they'll get ALONG, but he'll definitely want to hear about what she can do...
He's also totally willing to help her sacrifice animals, so there's that.
no subject
Oh man, she's be interested in him too, I bet. I agree I'm not sure how they'll get along, but she also got along with some of the more amoral teammates on YJ so who knows?
He can help her find the animals but the killing unfortunately will have to be done on her own.

Wow, that sounded way less creepy in my head.

Re: Anita Fite (played by July)
Man I'm so excited for them to have so much of the gang back together.

It'll be so much fun doing the fantasy type thing with Anita!

Hi July.
YOU KNOW ME ALREADY. I'VE GOT TIM AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR NIGH ON FIVE YEARS.
Housekeeping: Robbie does have a small content warning for self harm, so I'm advising everyone to go here if they want to make a blanket statement of "don't ever mention it" or give permission.

I didn't promise any characters to you until 2014!
That said I am so onboard with watching you play Tim, oh man.
