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.

Yeah, Hajime's in for a massive "What am I?!" freakout in the future once he gets his next couple of memories because I'm horrible and giving them back in the worst possible order. |D

I just saw! \o/ Go right ahead and be a regular customer, every business needs those.

He's got the degree mostly so he can take over the management of his father's restaurant when his dad retires, but he might be able to help with that! (A little, because dude is extremely introverted, lol. Networking is hard...)

:> Lightning's so self-reliant in general, I think it could be cool to have this version of her actually seek out someone older than her for advice and/or throwing her thoughts at. Needless to say, some of her echoes will definitely be rough on her.

Aww ^^ He'll be glad to offer advice! I am looking forward to trying this out now :3

The Adventures of Grey Wind and Wolf. Mm, I'd watch that show.

YESSS.

Well, I've already established her as being at the counter job for a year and a half or about, soooo...! To be honest unless he did something particularly memorable she'd probably recall him only vaguely though, even if she's more visible as the pretty but... terminally-serious girl who works there.

And yeah, just wait 'til she starts remembering a sister she doesn't have. She's an only child in this incarnation. :'D
northless: (everything stops and holds me there)

why would he go for the hair when he can go for the throat

AND YESSS BADASS SWORDFIGHTING. That is a thing that must happen as well.

Heheheheheh! My plan is actually to go fairly easy on it for a while, certainly save the worst for special occasion freakouts. Aaaah, how we all love tormenting our own characters. :>

Still, I'm hoping that maybe they can hero it up later on! Jack's not the best guy in the world, but he tries, and that sounds like something they have a bit of in common (as canon-blind as I am as well).

... Booted while Kallie stands linefacing and holding a folder in the background while she waits for the supervisor to finish dressing him down... and then casually starts talking to said supervisor as if nothing just happened.

Hahaha maaayyybeee. :Oa We'll have to see where stuff leads us, I suppose. They'll definitely have to be frands in some way though.

Hey, vague rememberance works. ^^ And honestly, he could have been a guy that got into a bit of an altercation with another guy and then gotten his butt thrown out for punching things other than designated punching equipment. He has terrible interpersonal skills sometimes. |D

Ohhhhh, very nice...in that way terrible things become awesome in RP. :D
northless: (take my shot under the light)

[personal profile] northless 2013-03-31 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
FFFF YESSS. Robb would probably remember him as "that one guy who sat beside me in class once".
chalicejoker: (Chalice - Poker)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2013-03-31 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, this will be just a species-based freakout, probably. Then he'll get to the "I did WHAT?" freakout later on...nothing like this much mental anguish, right? ;D

Yeah, Hajime tries really hard to be a good guy especially after canon events gave him a boatload of regrets and taught him what heroism really is, so they could definitely have an epic heroes-trying-to-make-it-right time of it!
northless: (forever after days)

[personal profile] northless 2013-03-31 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
YEAH, I'll get right on that.

He probably helped in talking some sense into Robb, ha. Or, you know, I left the identity of the teacher who managed to bring him around open.
northless: (hold my own above the ground)

[personal profile] northless 2013-03-31 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
whyyy

He'd remember her! I think. Somewhat. Most likely he thinks of her as "that girl at the health center" and not much else.

I have the feeling it's going to be a real rocky road for Jack -- his heroics come out of a really bad place, mentally. But hey, as long as it works out and he saves people, right? :P

Can't wait for plot reveals now hnnnngh. MONDAY WHY AREN'T YOU HERE YET.
chalicejoker: (Creeper)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2013-03-31 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
When "Don't I know you from somewhere?" turns into the most mundane, unsuspicious thing ever. XD
chalicejoker: (Dude no)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2013-03-31 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
The people getting saved are all that matters! Everyone hopes, anyway. >.>

I KNOOOOOW it's so long to wait for RP goodness and half price Easter candy...
northless: (stand alone inside the air)

LAUGHING.

Also, if it was something like, say, history, chances are he was only half-listening.
chalicejoker: (Bored)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2013-03-31 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hajime likely wouldn't have been paying much attention in history, either. He could be upgraded to "other bored guy," even.

[personal profile] professorwolf 2013-03-31 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
I was very carefully not mentioning that, haha, just in case it was too forward... XD I'm totally open to it being him, it's IC for him to do something like that, though considering he's a biology teacher and Robb's more interested in the arts, I'm cool with you picking a more pertinent teacher, too ^^

Whoops XD :: watches Lyall drag him back by his collar... :: Bright, though, Lyall likes. They can discuss DNA or maths or something :B
northless: (cathedral bells ringing down)

[personal profile] northless 2013-03-31 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
FFFFF. But yes, I am very much open to the idea of Lyall having told Robb to clean up his act.
