saveyourselves | 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.

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...

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

I'm not talking about the guns.

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 :)

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.

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

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

hell i have no idea whether they'd be required. is that normal, are they normally required. ive never been to american university.

EDIT: OK THAT LOOKS REALLY BAD BUT I SWEAR I'M COMPETENT.......

Edited 2013-03-31 01:58 (UTC)

yeah lmfao neither have i. my history classes were required tho. w/e maybe she took them as an elective. /kanye shrug either works!

ok im with a university student in america RIGHT NOW and she says they usually are. ok. WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK

I'm finding myself wishing I'd gotten into Gundam back in the day now. :< Once things get rolling and memories get going for everyone, it sounds like we're going to have quite a cadre of military types here!

yep! she was a colonel at nineteen so it's gonna be really jarring to make that transition. :> it's never too late to get into it. :U

Ahhh a lady actually around Lightning's age! *o*

Haha see it's funny because her name is... never mind. ANYWAY they should be frands eventually or end up hating each other, EITHER WAY....!!

Yes, I want this! Gal pals would be awesome especially since she's a bit socially awk. :U At least her reincarnation name isn't as ridiculous. Going by Elle is a bit more tolerable.

Not going to lie, I was excited when I saw her app- initially because of the closeness in age, but it seems they're vaguely similar enough to find something in common, too. :D And Kallie/Lightning's sort of socially stunted as well, so it's all good.

Awww thanks, it's appreciated. 8) Leading people while being mostly awk is a living ok. They can probably attend some classes together! Maybe partner up on a paper down the line and run into some echoes along the way while doing research.

Hajime just graduated with a business degree, but they could have had a couple of classes together at some point!

Sounds good to me! She can also ask him for help with stuff along with connections to internships and crap. :>

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...)

yes good! we can manage this. 8)

You know you're a 90's kid when you play from Gundam Wing.
