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.

ANYWAY this is Mindfang from Homestuck, she is a sexy alien pirate captain and all around nasty piece of work – her reincarnation, Arianna, is significantly less of a nasty piece of work, and I'm looking forward to having her struggle with what an unpleasant person her past life was! Eventually she'll be regaining mind control abilities – initially she'll be opposed to using them but ha ha we will see how long that lasts. She lectures in history at whatever the university in this city is called so if anybody playing college students or potential other faculty wants CR on that basis then HIT ME UP c: She also writes trashy purple-prosey pirate romance novels under the pen name Nancy Fluke in her spare time
(Also I am completely stumped about finding a PB for her, so if anybody has any suggestions for ladies with some good varieties of smug, stern and condescending then let me know, otherwise I am just going to have to draw myself some icons or something)
If you wanna get in touch with me for anything I am sexy biopsy on AIM,

Tell me more.

Mindfang pretty much did not hold back at all about using her mind powers for pretty much anything she thought would be fun or would get her an advantage! once Arianna gets her powers back and the memories that go with them she's going to start trying to convince herself it's OK to use them for SOME stuff, as long as she doesnt do x thing she remembers Mindfang doing then it's FINE
are you volunteering, bc i see your guy is a NOTABLE POLITICAN
sounds like the kind of brain that could do with getting rummaged around in by an ambitious space alien
waggles eyebrows.

I'm not saying I like doing this to my muses or anything,
but I totally like doing this to my muses. eheheheheh
no subject
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 !

But hi, welcome, and I am totally excited for the game and meeting people :)

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.
no subject
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

very historically accurate
lots of dubious power dynamics
