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: Usagi
ABOUT: Full-time Nights worker in the EST zone, I live up in Canada with my husband and two cats- expect pictures of those two.

I love pokemon and zelda quite a lot games wise, but realistically I have a lot of stealth/sleeper fandoms that I'll probably get chatty about if you mention it- but the big one right now as most might guess is JJBA! It's a fun series to write off of, for all the lows that come with the highs.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Emporio Alniño
CANON: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
POKEMON: Cubone
GUILD: Lum Berries
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here, but I need to get to the PC to actually fill it out so it might be blank if you're here early whoops

ABOUT:

Emporio is a 12 year old kid who is just cubone incarnate, though he's going to be carrying his helmet around strapped to his back like a horrible...weirdo backpack. Equipped unknowingly with the move Secret Power (it's a Surprise Tool for Later), he's just come out of a fairly apocalyptic canon point- which, I'm being vague about here, in case anyone wants to watch his show!

I'll have on his permissions some notes on that, and an option for people to opt in or out of certain spoilers, but for now what matters is that he's a good kid- and very smart. Emporio grew up hiding in a prison, playing braincell to a cast of grown adults, so suffice to say, he's ready to do that again! Without the hiding in prison part.

Honestly it's a miracle he came out so well adjusted, let alone this normally dressed. Like, my two smile icons both come from a single anime-only scene. Miracle.

PLANS:

Other than some housekeeping in the form of sheets getting filled, most of my plans for the moment are simple- keep tagging back on threads I've got, do a bit of poking around for February prompts if people had 'm, and maybe take a peek at quests once they go up. Until we pass Valentines Day, I'll likely be a bit scarce; I work making food trays, so suffice to say between the Superb Owl at hand, and the incoming romance day, I'm gonna be a bit busy! But after that it's dead hours, so.

SEEKING/OFFERING:

THE GAME'S JUST BEGUN SO OHHHHHH-
At this point the name of the game is community and by community I mean CR- I want to build on the ties that Emporio made during January on the TDM (especially now that we're in February, and can get some mileage from the nightmare prompts on it), but I also want to play around with who's likely sharing house with him at Lum. Maybe once quests go up, a quest too! Who knows!

ANYTHING ELSE:

[truthdecided]

Akechi finds Emporio very intriguing, so I am down for more shenanigans with these two. Tell him more about Stands... He is hungry for lore.

[seacub]

Lore Seekers....

(I am also down for shenanigans, suffice to say)

[favorforafavor]

i've had such a fun time with our TDM thread lol but i just enjoy throwing off-putting guys at your emporio fdjkal;

i'm sooo excited to see where you'll take him in lum... that's so exciting... please feel empowered to @ me should i be able to help facilitate anything you have in store for him!!

[seacub]

I LOVE OUR TDM THREAD SO MUCH and also I enjoy Emporio interacting with off-putting guys, if only because Emporio manages to be off-putting right back,

anyway I DEFINITELY WANT TO BUILD THIS CR gollyyyy

[bladeofnymeia]

TIME TO BE ADOPTED HERE'S YOUR TEEN SIBLINGS ALPHINAUD AND ALISAIE THEY'RE ALSO REALLY SMART AND ALSO ELVES

(Playlist is here and it's generally pretty positive and they have a lot of good guests on when there's guests but also, I finally understand JoJos enough to someday talk about it with my brother who based his fav D&D character on "what if Dio was a good guy". I mean I still don't get it but I can talk about it.)

[seacub]

Fond, fond memories of my coworker coming in one day to turn and say W H A T

[colorsflyinghigh]

Even if he's in a different guild Ren is SO gonna keep an eye out for Emporio. Look at this kid he needs friends. Ren is The Friend Machine. His Child Now.
