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.

FIREPAW!!!!
FIREPAW!?!?!

I never got the chance to tag his TDM but please know how much seeing him there made my day oh my goodnessssss...

Emporio got into the ~Exclusive Lum Guild~ but suffice to say that's not stopping the kid from branching out and

I think...? They're the closest in approximate/equivalent age??? Double checks how cats grow like 'UH-'

(Then again that's not a hard bar to clear when Emporio's hands down the youngest far as I've seen, hah)

Anyway Emporio has a strange amount of experience explaining 'human' (stares. At the pokemon.) things to non human entities (STARES AT THE COLONY OF PLANKTON), so I think it could be fun cr given the chance!

Cats grow Weird and warriors are even more vague about ages, like some cats mention their kittens opening their eyes on day one?? But yes, he's like... roughly a preteen! I considered bringing him in as a six-month-old but then he would not have any workable knowledge of the Warriors lore and that seemed like a waste. Bonus: Firepaw will probably call him a Twoleg kit.

I... need to finish Stone Ocean but I'm also so stoked to see a Jojo, I love that show so much <3 One of these days I'll rewatch it so I can pick my Joseph muse back up.

I can just. See Emporio nodding, looking at himself, 'Two legs is definitely a good description of humans, it is true,'

So right though re: lore timing, THERE'S SO MUCH NEAT STUFF IN WARRIORS!!!

but oh I am definitely leaving what happens to this kid as a fun surprise for you to finish seeing then :]

(AND OH MY GOD A JOSEPH MUSE??? By the time I got into playing from this show most people had moved on so I've only seen one once..........)

Better than like... I vaguely remember them meeting other cats that call them pinkskins or something like that?? awful.

Honestly I've been into Jojo since forever but it took a long time for me to pick a muse... I love pretty much every character but Joseph, Jolyne and Okuyasu are my blorbos. I haven't played Joseph in a long time but I love him because he's so perfect for my mun style of "I can't wait for terrible things to happen to this man, because he deserves it :)"

oh that is a special kind of awful no thanks-

Haha, I can relate to that- for all that I picked up Jonathan quickly enough, it took until Stone Ocean for anyone else to grab me (And you can see the result of that!).

Granted, from there I wound up with Yasuho from part 8, but ah...fortunately writing characters in fic is a lot easier because I've got a lot of feelings about just about every character there is, but I could never manage most of them in RP.

LFMNFHJ- OH JOSEPH IS IDEAL FOR THAT HUH you might end up with muses from 7 when that finally gets animated in that case. Plenty of gremlins in that one, pft.

good, Araki is so good at writing absolute gremlins. Even Jotaro seems like he should be the straight man in his group and he always ends up doing the most insane shit. But yeah, I get some characters being better for fic or RP.. most of the characters I vibe with strongly are villains but they frequently don't do well in RP.

He really is, I might have had issues with part 7 storywise (....a lot of issues...) but characterwise?

Chef's kiss, goodness!

Villains are so hard to balance in an RP setting honestly, I have a lot of respect for the folks who can manage it. Right up there with characters whose defining trait is 'gonna get home or die trying!!!', that one gets tricky in jamjars as well I think...

Yeahhhh that's a lot of why I don't play Bluestar very often, I have to find games where she won't be constantly clawing up the walls to go home. Firepaw would probably be the same if he was deeper into his plot, but hopefully I can caaaarefully canon update him as I go and he'll be too attached to his friends to want to leave.

Points at that post, winks, time to add to that friend count then huhuhu

...at a slowburn so that by the time friendship level backstory unlocking hits, you've cleared part six, wheeze,
