OOC INTRO ⟡ 001


⋆✩ welcome! ✩⋆


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 ([plurk.com profile] 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: Mordrid (he/him)
ABOUT: I'm nocturnal, so typically only available after dark Central time. Thirty-something year old girly trans-guy; main fandom is YuGiOh (original series). I never know what to put in these things. I actually like to chatter a lot! I am just bad at figuring out how to introduce myself specifically,,
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] MomeMordrid (feel free to friend me as long as there's some way for me to tell who you are!)

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: the Ring-Spirit (more commonly called "Yami Bakura" by fandom)
CANON: YuGiOh! (manga/DSoD)
POKEMON: Mimikyu
GUILD: Lum Berries
INFO/PERMISSIONS: slightly wip still, but here!

ABOUT:
Sometimes a tomb robber and Card Game Satan both hate the same person enough that they soul-fuse into somebody new. This is sometimes complicated by a Total Amnesia spell that lasts 3000 years and has the new guy scrambling to fulfill a plan he can't even remember! By the time he realized his plan and ultimate purpose were "destroy the entire world" he did not have time to contemplate how that slotted into "there's one or two people on the planet I actually kinda like though". But then he was foiled! And, being a necklace who possessed people, he promptly got dropped in a hole in the Egyptian desert and kind of forgotten about, which really pissed him off and may have further sold him on his intended purpose but mostly it just made him mad. So when he got a chance to Try Again of course he leapt at it! Only he failed. again. and this time got purged from reality. As did the Items he needed to ever try again even if he did get home from here - so, he's a little lost now on what exactly he even wants to do.

PLANS:
I want him to find a new purpose in life! And also come to terms with having lost the sacrificed souls that had been trapped in his cursed gold, who were kind of his family by way of his human-half... He is currently less ok than he'd like people to think,,

SEEKING/OFFERING:
Solid relationships, any flavor of CR really just stuff that he'd get Attached to; but I'm especially interested in friendships! ...And maybe some help curbing his self-serving (and/or pointlessly destructive) tendencies.

Another Lum buddy! :D He is going to be so curious! And will likely just Accept whatever weirdness is going on with him. Which is better then it being questioned, Perrin thinks, and will totally at least wanna work together with.

also re: fourth walling - funny idea if card games ever come up. perrin mistakes it for the magic the gathering ripoff from fallout universe.

& meanwhile RS "finding out" the world Ends and he didn't even get to do it, the Nerve of whoever beat him to it,, (but otoh if Perrin is from after the End, then whoever-it-was clearly didn't do a very good job either I mean -)

Yay more Lum people! RS already met Emporio on the TDM, looking forward to him getting to met Perrin too! :D

edit: lol card game confusion XD

Yup Perrin just being like casually 'yeah the world ended but it's been like 200 years it's Fine, people could always try again and your end sounds a lot cooler tbh--'

Yes! Perrin so curious, another Mimikyu he has a friend Mimikyu now he has two!

RS also met the other Mimikyu! Whenever I get a chance to get back to their thread, she might end up being the one to name him something XD

Akechi has no idea what to make of the ring spirit yet, but does find him quite amusing. I think he's the sort of character Akechi would want to keep an eye on simply because of potential tomfoolery.
improvking: (just. so trustworthy! wow!)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-02-10 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
The Ring-Spirit is nothing if not a well of potential tomfoolery!

SHOKA WILL BE HIS FRIEND. THIS IS A THREAT

also, obligatory:

improvking: (pfft~LOL)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-02-10 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
TWO! OF! THEM!

I need to get back to their test drive thread,,,
telewarped: (Looking for answers)

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-02-11 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
take your time!! you know i'll backtag forever

Shoka would be happy to help him find a name for himself also if he's interested at all...even if her methods will be. questionable. if he doesn't state a preference, she may just start calling him by a new name every time she sees him until one sticks. well i think Loser is a beautiful name for a beautiful baby boy

guy trying to cause the end of the world vs guy who literally made an entire organization dedicated to stopping it. fight

...or become friends because god damn both of them need it
improvking: (huh. it's already all on fire)

[personal profile] improvking 2025-02-18 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
Doc, prompt him to actually consider the whole "if the world ends what happens to you, bud" issue. It's occurred to him but only insofar as it being surely irrelevant.

(also hi!! I took forever to reply to this, oops)

[personal profile] not_damned_yet 2025-02-20 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
doc's probably going to do so via complaining that the other omnicidal world-destroying idiots weren't trying to explode the world with themselves in it LMAO

(and all good lmao i am also bad at time)
