Grand Opening OOC Post

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.

HEY THERE WEIRD COLOURED BLOOD BUDDY
admittedly Arianna's blood is still regular coloured but that aint gonna be a permanent state of affairs

(also if he only just graduated from university then Hajime might well have been in her history classes at some point! c: c: c:)

PREPARE TO HAVE EVEN MORE BAD EXPERIENCES WITH THEM!! Arianna's already not the loveliest of professors but it's going to get. much worse.

He doesn't always sleep in class, that was in high school! And if he did, it would be because he doesn't get enough sleep and not because he thinks history's pretty boring, nope. /shifty eyes

prof. serket can be kind of harsh and is also down with stuff like humiliating her students in front of their peers when they mess up
so she had best not fail

I am completely canon blind here, but potential interesting drama is always a good, interesting thing!

If Jack likes Japanese food at all, hi, this guy's family owns a restaurant.

also reading the app

Robb probably just half-listens to all her lectures because he never really liked pirates all that much, sob. Give him ninjas or werewolves any day.

That would work! Hajime would have been the slightly-too-quiet type. Fairly bright, made decent grades, but very quiet and tended to keep to himself. Also prone to getting into fights if rubbed the wrong way, whoops.

Captain Mass sounds like it could be a great superhero name, just so you know. XD

And this guy here spent his canon life learning just how awesome humanity is, so...yeah, disagreements will probably be inevitable.

[personal profile] really8adegg 2013-03-31 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
hahahahahahaha

yeah I mean her lectures are probably more general history than being all pirates all the time but it is definitely not going to be any secret to her students that the best way to butter her up

is to encourage her to talk about pirates

They could have the BEST card game.

yeah, that one sucked.

Seriously so~

and Bakura's totally the kid who comes into Hajime's dad's restaurant and goes sits in the corner with his gameboy while he waits for his food :)

Jack doesn't know what you're talking about, Robb, decapitating guys is easy. Having a sword that vibrates fast enough to split things at an atomic level probably helps though.

Robert might actually know one of Jack's related NPCs if he goes to film festivals and whatnot... Jack's wife is a local artsy filmmaker type. (Boy this could be awkward.)

Haha, I'd figured Kallie'd probably be operating on a "don't tell your real name to people on the internet" sort of mindset, so when it turns out her weird apparent delusions about being able to control electricity and getting access to a bizarre network includes people she knows..... well.

Anyway, this seems potentially really interesting to me since in FFXIII we see very little of Lightning's mentorlike superior, but the way she behaves around him is extremely amusing given how she usually acts. I've been itching to try something similar, even if it ends up being only vague in resemblance.

Save him, oh dear gods above. Save hiiiiim.

I was thinking more porn star considering his... original name is Full Frontal, but that'd work, too. Porn superhero, maybe?

Ah, sentai, come to me! My only experience with the genre is Shinkenger, but I loved what I saw of it (and some of the Kamen Rider suits looked pretty damn neat). Yeah, Casval is in for one hell of a rude awakening down the road. Poor guy. Except he kind of sort of deserves it. I feel bad for the worst villains, I swear.

He'll be a fairly good guy at first, though? But definitely cynical of humanity, so yes, all of the disagreements... that will eventually be disagreements involving giant robots, which are clearly the best kind.

Jack loves all the food. And probably eats out a lot, considering the state of his life.

And of course there's always the network if all else fails. Looking forward to RPing with you! =D
