OOC INTRO

We've gotten a nice first round for the start of the game! There's a form below for you all to introduce yourselves, or get reacquainted after the interest check, and start your plotting in game! Quests will be releasing in about a week along with the first event that will center largely around these quests. Afterwards, we plan on having a temperature check of sorts where you can all express thoughts or concerns on the pacing, handling, or anything else. Things aren't fully set in stone, and we can make adjustments moving forward!

Remember to follow the plurk (

baymods) for more minor updates! As you jump into the intro, here are some important things to note:

⟡ ICly, there was a "town meeting" held today where the guild leaders announced that newcomers would be invited to guilds. It has been decided that characters should join a guild to help give back to the city that will, in turn, help them find a way home. Dr. Denne mentions that he's been assigned to make this his top priority for the time being.

⟡ Characters may have been ICly told about this decision before the meeting, depending on their intro blurb.

⟡ This meeting is when characters receive their grumpearls, meaning they have been taught how to use the network! You are free to post open logs or network posts now that the game is officially open. Remember, the network is a psychic connection, so it is quite possible to transmit thoughts unintentionally, have issues, etc.

⟡ The guild leaders are very busy getting everything in order with these decisions, but they will be available for threading with in some limited capacity on the event post. Until then, if there's an urgent question your character would seek them out for, or maybe a message they'd like to send (due to their intro prompts or otherwise), there will be a header below for you to do so.

⟡ Many "newcomers" have vanished. Those faces you met on the TDM are gone just as quickly as they arrived. Some have trouble remembering them. Maybe even you can only imagine a fuzzy outline of someone, no recognition of the conversations you might have had, or maybe certain highlights are more clear. Dr. Denne mentions that this is a known phenomenon, that some of them can recall them, but not others. They say they'll be keeping a record of the Pokemon here now so that they won't be lost, and will try to find out what happened.

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Mega (or Dorked; I've gone by both in different spheres. xD;)
ABOUT: Big Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fan since around 2012 or so, excited to finally have a proper PMD RP! I'm a Youtuber, fanfic writer, and have an Undertale webcomic called Inverted Fate. Big fixation is Persona right now and Akechi (big shock there), but I like a lot of video games and animation... and cats. Cats are my weak spot.
CONTACT:

dorked, open to adding. dorked @ discord

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Goro Akechi
CANON: Persona 5 Royal
POKEMON: Rookidee
GUILD: Oran Berries
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!

ABOUT:

Formerly the "second coming of the Detective Prince," Akechi is a mess of trauma, bad life choices, and a touch of violence and betrayal, but thanks to the compassion of Ren Amamiya (AKA Joker), he was able to develop a genuine connection with someone for the first time in his life. Sure, he almost killed the guy, but you can blame his shitty father in part for that, and "delicious pancakes" saved the day.

And it's thanks to that connection with Ren that Akechi was able to defy death... twice now, when he expected his life to end in sacrifice. As a result, he's rather aimless in terms of what he wants to do with his life, since he expected to die at the end of the game's third semester, but has been busying himself by trying to gain an understanding of the circumstances here and snooping around.

Make no mistake, though. This boy has deep seated issues, a body count, and many regrets for the direction his life took, even if he's often too proud to admit it.

Akechi will be very interested in any opportunities to expand his knowledge here. Lots of field exploration, mingling with the locals and others in this predicament, all while taking on missions to build strength and experience in this new body. Emmet told him about evolution, and he wnats to be bigger and more powerful rather than a small, kickable orb.

I think this loser should be subject to the real super power of teamwork/friendship, especially since he's in Oran. He has Ren as the one person he trusts without question, and he made some connections during the TDM, but Akechi is still a hot mess of a person and is currently not confronting his personal doubts, baggage, and issues in favor of focusing on this world, their circumstances, and trying to put that ol' detective instinct to use.

I don't mind rivalries or friction too, of course. Open to a lot of shenanigans! Fellow brainy types, people to drive him nuts... I love me some sillies as well as character growth and plot.

Happy to continue TDM threads and TDM CR, of course! c: Also open to new CR, since there were people I didn't get around to tagging on the TDM.

ANYTHING ELSE:

(reaches his hand out) let's learn to form genuine connections together

i think it would be really fun for them to, like, find recognition for the self in the other and possibly hate that lmao. friction based on being too similar. i am so excited to see where this cr goes... i think it will be great

Ooh, that's an interesting possibility too. >:] I look forward to seeing how it all unfolds, hehe...

gee why are you allowed to have your homoerotic foil here already--

I mean, god. Perrin and Akechi sharing knowledge they gather. (Perrin keeping some to himself.) And Perrin casually revealing he's in his late 30s someday, as well.

Akechi is so nerdy, he will be hunting for information. Little borb craves the lore...

But fellow intellectuals are always handy in situations like this.
