Grand Opening OOC Post

[theearth]

Hello, everyone and welcome to Save the Earth!

I'm extremely excited to say that our game will officially be opening on April 1st. I deeply hope you're all classy enough to avoid making fake drop posts on the first day.

The reason for the short delay in opening is simply because I'm spending Sunday with family (as I'm sure some of you will be too) and won't have time to give the opening the attention it deserves. Sorry!

But in the meantime, we can have this post here to get to know one another. Tell us a bit about yourself and your character. Tell us the sorts of direction you want to take them in, any plots you've already half formed, etc.

Some points of business:

• Anyone who was accepted before I began requesting them with application acceptance, please create and link to an info post for your character so I can add it to the taken list.

• A more detailed post regarding the circumstances of the first three plot threads will go up Monday, which will introduce characters to the invasion and the dangers of revealing themselves. One of the three plots is closer to foreshadowing than anything that can be directly be interacted with at the start, but with a game like this you never know.

• You won't have to make AC for the first two months, but I will be requesting you fill out the form when it comes up and then giving me your feedback regarding how easy or hard you found it, both times. The current AC requirements may change in the future based on that input.

• Although applications aren't open yet, I'll be looking for two extra mods soon enough! Duties to be shared will be applications (which will be dealt with in shifts), organisation help (including AC and the taken list), being my American culture expert (what the heck are 'grits' and why would I eat them?) and finally, being privy to and assisting in running plots (so don't consider yourself for the position unless you're okay with spoilers).

As always, questions and comments are welcome.

Weeell, if it helps, her reincarnation's last name is Raydan, which is a deliberate bastardization of 'raiden' because I dig meaningful names. SO THERE'S THAT.

Lightning is such a gorgeous lady. Seriously.

I don't care how this CR is happening but it's happening okay. he'll just impress her with his sweet moves down at the gym ohohohoho

[twopercent]

I can really see these guys' interaction going either way... but good, bad, or just weird, I think it's gonna be really fun.

They can drunk-fight it out until they're both KO'd. It's how real men do it.

[secondcomingof]

Oh, yeah. And from what I've seen, your Raiden looks awesome (DAT SAMPLE), so I expect good things! Equally looking forward to where their interactions lead.

Manly fisticuffs: the only true way to settle the score.

[struckout]

Yeah she's like illegally beautiful but you're really just gonna have to


But no ALL OF THE CR I WANT IT...!!

[secondcomingof]

Dear god, her beauty is literally blinding. Excuse me, I think I need to... boot up a certain game again...

I will give all of it to you, I swear. MY LIFE FOR THE GLORIOUS FARRON MASTER RACE.

[struckout]

Appropriate music break goes here? |D;;

Obligatory "I'D FULL FRONTAL ALL OVER THAT" joke? sorry sorry I'm leaving now

Hi I'm Robyn and I'm bringing in Lady Une from Gundam Wing because we always need more 90's animu ok. Canonically, she's a badass soldier/diplomat with excellent skills when it comes to bombs and sharpshooting. That's all gone though and she's pretty much just focused on getting her Marketing degree right now with her new name being Elle. 8) I'm leaning toward having her offer services to associates of Fort Turner down the line by helping them sell weapons to the base. That's after she graduates though. Right now, her job aside from college is tutoring students after class so if you want to build CR that way, just holler. She's a math whiz but I am not. We'll figure it out...

[really8adegg]

Hahaha, alas, Arianna does not have the patience to teach high school kids.

pleased to make your acquaint, though, and hopefully they can interact in some other context C:

[really8adegg]

IM SUPER EXCITED TO PLAY WITH YOU AGAIN aaahhh and also to potentially fuck around with your poor chap's brain at some point in the future

hoo hoo hoo hoo ouo

[really8adegg]

oh good ouo

it'll be a while before arianna gets to the point where she'd actually do something like that but

he is definitely going to wind up a target if stuff goes down that way !

[really8adegg]

A UNIVERSITY STUDENT YOU SAY.......

I don't assume she and Arianna would have actually met unless Kallie's taking history classes but there's at least some proximity there for the potential exploitin' 8)

[secondcomingof]

I'm gonna need you to sell me approximately all of your weapons, Miss Une.






















I'm not talking about the guns.

[professorwolf]

Another college student. Sigh XD And here I stuck my former-werewolf as the high school teacher, not college. Think Elle could be one of my boy's former students? :)

Anyway, hi, welcome, I'm Gail and I play this geeky former-werewolf from a steampunk fantasy series who also will be very surprised to find out he used to be British :)

[professorwolf]

Excellent ^^ He will mostly just be relieved to see someone he knows, as hopefully a sign he's not going crazy >.>

[really8adegg]

what an excellent choice of character

i will be right over here vibrating with you O_O

[11ady]

[really8adegg]

excuse me while I descend on EVERY SINGLE UNIVERSITY STUDENT... any chance she'd be taking history classes?

[11ady]

She's only recently moved in to the city so she didn't go to high school here. 8( She could be tutoring his students after class though! Hullo Gail! Looking forward to shenanigans.

[11ady]

if they're required, yes she will! 8D

Hey there! I'm Airdra, and I'll be bringing in this guy, Hajime Aikawa from the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Blade. Hajime also goes by the name of Kamen Rider Chalice, and he fights immortal monsters called Undead, defeating them through sealing them into playing cards. Of course, every canon based on a normal deck of playing cards needs a Joker...and Hajime is also the Joker Undead. To make a very long story short, he's not really human, has issues understanding emotions, and would really rather not destroy the world like he was created to do.

Of course, the destruction of one's universe is a good way to get an immortal into the position to be reincarnated, and this time around, Hajime's got everything he ever wanted in canon in that he's a normal human with a family that loves him. (Love. It's the hardest emotion to understand if you're an apocalyptic bug-monster.) His family owns a Japanese restaurant called Aikawa's because I suck at naming things his dad isn't the most creative with names, so if anyone's character likes Japanese food, you might have run into him. He also recently graduated from the university with a business degree, so there's that, too. His first Echo was his bright green Undead blood, so...yeah, he's freaking out.

I'm on Plurk at Airdra. Feel free to add me!

HELLO. I am Effy, I play Robb Stark here. Spoiler-free version, or as spoiler-free as it can be, anyway: he's a king who makes bad decisions. A lot. But he has a big badass wolf named Grey Wind!

As for his reincarnation, his name's Robert Smith, but he goes by Robb. Not Bert, not Bob, not Robbie, it's Robb. He gets a bit fussy about that, really. He's a Film major at the university, often volunteers at the animal shelter (dogs, man, dogs) and has a string of sucky, short-lived part-time jobs. Most often he's a barista, so if your character hangs out at coffee shops a lot (like Starbucks) then feel free to assume they've met!

His first Echo was brought about by a History Channel Marathon. You know how most of the time beheading looks pretty clean on TV? Yeah. For Robb, it wasn't. As for any other Echo plans, he'll get his big badass wolf back. And possibly memories of exactly how he died, which is spoilery.

ANYWAY. Feel free to hit me up at bipolarteddybear, but tell me who you are first! (Notes: my Plurk is pretty much fangirling over GOT. 'Tis the season.) Oh, and if you see thestarkheir commenting around, no worries, that's me being lazy and using an icon journal instead.

[northless]

FFFF YESSS. Also, Parasol Protectorate yes. There may have been much squealing on my part when I saw your app. Also, come talk to Robb, he has a thing for wolves.

[chalicejoker]

Oh, someone else playing a character that's going to be dealing with being a monster? :3c Hi, I play an apocalyptic bug-monster with a playing card fixation.
