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.

'Lo, everyone! *bows* My name is Blue, delighted to be bringing in Anthony from the previous-generation cosmic horror-adventure video game Eternal Darkness! In canon, Anthony played the role of a page and messenger for Charlemagne the Frank, who uncovered an assassination plot by an elder god's cult reading the king's mail despite being explicitly told not to and was subsequently blasted with an undead curse, spent a painful hour or two turning into a zombie while desperately looking for the key to the room the kind was at a meeting in, chopped the head off a bishop for it, and was too late by the time he finally got inside, and was locked up in that room alone until I nice Franciscan monk came by six hundred years later in the Spanish Inquisition and bashed his head in.
His reincarnation is named Anthony Janvier, and is a well-bred and goody-goody high school student who was probably teased on occasion in elementary school by people calling him by a handful of different mispronunciations of his last name, and is going to get reeled on into something like a cosmic horror story yet again, about as prepared for it as he was last time.
As for me, if anyone'd like to contact me at any point, a PM to this journal or
I apologize for the length of that, but anyhow, thank you, thrilled to be here, and I look forward to playing with you all!
Also, please don't mind the shoddy hand-drawn icons - he spends most of his chapter of canon not looking quite himself, so I sketched these up until I can get something better. But since they don't look exactly the way he does as a modern-day reincarnation, I'm gonna have to make a point all over again to get or make better ones!
