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.

ABOUT:

he's a good boi your honor not a nasty crime boi at all Trust Me Bro.

More seriously: He's the (former) leader of the Phantom Thieves, a vigilante group that, through supernatural means, changed the hearts of corrupt people that the justice system otherwise wouldn't touch. Ren has a strong set of morals and rebellious streak that, with his generally polite demeanor, you wouldn't expect. Dig a little deeper, though, and his playful, snarky, and occasionally downright bombastic and dramatic nature unearths itself. He can be quite cocky, even in extremely dangerous situations, and has the tendency to be a bit of a troll. He's someone who's extremely resistant when it comes to rigid authority structures, especially ones that aren't fair, or unjust. Again, though, to an outsider, he just seems polite for the most part. If he doesn't like you, and thinks you're unjust... you'll know. Small acts of defiance can go a long way, sometimes. He's also not above getting his hands dirty in the name of his own justice.

Ren is also extremely good at putting on masks. He can twist himself to be whatever it is you want from him, and he WILL do this for people he likes, or people he wants something from. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that even his closest friends don't fully know him. He doesn't LOOK or FEEL like he's hiding anything, but at the same time... he's very bad at expressing his own needs. It's hard to tell if he even knows who "he" is supposed to be. Very few people can see through this facade... because it's hard to say how much of it IS a facade, and how much of it is just innate to him, and how he interacts with the world.

As for his current situation... he unjustly was sent to Tokyo on probation, which, through the actions of the Phantom Thieves and the many confidants he gained during his time there, got lifted (tldr: changed some hearts, challenged a god (or two), ended up in jail and testified against the guy who put him on probation. It was a whole thing). He was just on his way home by train when suddenly, something strange happened... and now he's here.

I want to throw Ren into Some Situations forreal. I want him to learn how to work with his new powers, his new body, and maybe also learn to do something about that self-sacrificial nature of his. Bro has trauma and he won't admit it to anyone. He's so fine sir SO fine (he's not but he's really good at pretending there's nothing wrong, even to himself. Especially to himself). Most of all, I'm honestly just here to have a good time. I'll take whatever I can get, as long as I'm having fun. And if I get to put my boy through some bullshit along the way? All the better.

Again, I'm just looking for a good time. Any CR is fine; positive, negative, something that's not quite either... I want it all. Friends, enemies, rivals, frenemies and everything in between, I'm up for it.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Crossdressing go brrr

Fellow cat Pokemon! Also I just started playing P5, so I'm excited to interact with Ren <3

YESSSS I'm SO EXCITED! I'm looking forward to interacting with Firepaw- I can't say I've read the warrior cats books, but from what I glanced in the TDM he's gonna be SO FUN to throw Ren at.

Hope you enjoy P5 <33

Honestly don't know if I can recommend Warriors, I adore the series but it's also very long and goes off the rails pretty quickly. But Firepaw's great, and I think he would definitely be on board with everything the Phantom Thieves were up to.

And yesss I've been having a ton of fun with P5, it's delightful!

HI CHA I HAD A BLAST WITH OUR TDM THREAD...everything i know about P5 has just been gathered via "i have a friend who likes it" osmosis, but Ren is so cute and i can already see him and Shoka being fast friends 🥺 most people tend to find her aggravating at first, but they can connect over being self-sacrificial snarkers who have a tendency to hide their true intentions behind masks

them both being in Oran also means she can point at him and Akechi cuddling or whatever and reenact this with them (this is a very serious CR goal)

YES OMG I LOVED THEM SO MUCH???? ygygsd Shoka is so fun... I honestly have the same experience with twewy as you with p5 so this'll be fun xD I honestly love how they play off each other and I can DEFS see Ren talking to Shoka more and going "yes. this one. we are friends now" at her. He loves his quirky friends your honor. Prepare to have Ren dig into Shoka's business SO MUCH

ALSO PLEASE that would be genuinly so funny. someone needs to look at their fucked up thing and go "good for you but never bring anyone into this. ever."

WEH...please...Shoka will be like "god Ren you're so annoying. can you get your nosy ass out of my business. are you really that desperate for attention" but this is clearly Shoka-speak for "i appreciate you looking out for me and i treasure our friendship. i would die for you"

LOL it's ok Ren is fluent in Rude-Tsundere-Speak he can translate no problem
