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.

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.

I would kind of love having a mentorship in-game, ngl :: chinhands :: Lyall was something of a mentor to quite a few f his younger packmates, it comes naturally to him. Maybe we can make it work :) I'm willing to at least give it a go!

:> 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.
