◣ july mingle & cr meme ◢


JULY MINGLE & CR MEME ❀
OOC intro/mingle posts in Ethyraia serve a dual function as CR memes for current players. The hope is that this will encourage current players to scan through and greet our new players. Take this opportunity to get to know your fellow players, plan hatching log threads, check-in regarding the keeping of TDM threads (which can be made game canon), find plot hooks, and plan for future CR.

NEW PLAYERS, please link your comments in reply to the appropriately labeled thread at the top of the post. Our goal is to boost your visibility. Established players will be looking there to welcome you!

Note: If we find that combining these functions isn't working, we'll reevaluate this set-up. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback on our SOTG posts.

REMINDERS:
The HATCHING LOG goes up on 07/08. You can expect some of the prompts to look like the TDM, but there will also be new prompts that include event wrap-up.

☆ Remember that the ACTIVITY CHECK for this game is a static post that you reply to each month. New players, remember to get yourself all set up there and on the TAKEN LIST — this counts as your first month's AC.

☆ Player plots and questions should come through our PLOT ENGAGEMENT page, and the more PCs you have on board, the more we can give you. Please use these CR memes to find people to group up with for plotting purposes.

☆ You can ask general setting questions on our FAQ page.

Our next event will not be until August. This month is for wrapping up the conclusion of the June event and its fall-out, which works out nicely based on how things looked on our State of the Game post. While we are no longer accepting submissions for IC actions because the follow-up is drafted, take your time backthreading event things! Remember: as long as you aren't reusing the same thread you've already submitted for AC, new comments on backthreads are eligible for the current month's AC.

Kainé, Zeta, Lottie, 9S, 2B, Kaz, Lys, and Maria Juliana have vanished, leaving behind allergy medication, makeup, a bible, rosary beads, five swords (one two-handed), a hunting knife, two pods for combat assistance, two spears, a radio transmitter, some clothes, a walking cane with a crow's head, a deck of playing cards, a jeweled hairpiece, and a goat. Unless someone claims it (please drop a note in Mod Questions if you do), the community outreach department will be collecting and redistributing these items.

Player;
PLAYER NAME: Nakura. I go by another name in DWRP usually, but there's someone with a name similar to it in the game, so I'm using this nickname to avoid confusion.
PRONOUNS: they/them
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] wildtrapinch/wildtrapinch#1171, but I definitely prefer plurk.
Character;
CHARACTER NAME: Zhongli
CANON: Genshin Impact
JOURNAL: [personal profile] lapideity

INFO: An old earth god from a fantasy city based on China who decided to retire... and his idea of retirement is decide to pretend to be human and do a lot of fighty stuff with the game's protagonist, with some funerals on the side. He has expensive tastes but never any money, let's hope we never get any form of currency in the game.

SKILLS: Zhongli's abilities revolve around rocks and the earth so he's most likely going to help with building and metalworking. Perhaps even developing more land for agriculture. He can go alllll the way out to more dangerous areas for fertile soil. (he cant make it himself, that's not how his powers work) He's also good at forging weapons, especially spears, though he doesn't know what firearms are, so those are out of the question. He's also a sturdy immortal so just put him on dangerous work, it's fine.

AREAS OF INTEREST: In the TDM (I'm open to keeping TDM threads canon, by the by), Vidar told him about the damage to base structures and the ground, and Zhongli wants to help fix that, since he can actually do it, if that's still something that will be a problem. Otherwise, the stuff I mentioned in "skills" will work. I also still kinda want him to work with communications as an announcer... just because I think it'd be funny, he'd just chatter on and on after the script is over if he's not stopped.

PLANS/GOALS: Zhongli does NOT know how to work technology, since he's from a high fantasy world. Most of my plans right now revolve around him learning how to use what space tech is left, and having fun making him flounder. Or electrocuted sometimes. Outside of that, Zhongli will attempt to venture outside of basecamp often for expeditions and come back with weird shit.

CR PREFERENCES: Zhongli works well with a lot of different personalities! Just because he tries to stay calm in his old age. However, he responds best to higher energy people, no matter what kind of energy they have (chaotic is always nice...), and fellow busy bees. I welcome all sorts of CR since he's new.

MISC HOOKS: He's wearing a really finely-tailored suit, it's expensive. He can also be seen carrying a lot of rocks around.

i know approximately 3 things about genshin impact and the first of them is that all my friends think i'd like Zhongli

(the second is that it's basically 'what if Zelda: breath of the Wild was a gatcha game' but idk how accurate that is!!)

i apped this oc in this round, he's a crow shifter, and i also play natasha romanoff who of course is quite keen of keeping tabs on anyone with potentially catastrophic superpowers so basically

pick ya poison and i'll throw someone at you c:

i wouldnt rec genshin bc it's an acquired taste (imo) but that's not inaccurate... for the first few hours. then it's just "massive gacha grindy pain"

i'm mostly thirsty for a lot of conversation sooooo i'm capable of saying "both" since i'm interested in seeing their interactions with each other!

I'm totally canonblind but a sucker for a gecko gif.

Alex is pretty good at explaining stuff to outsiders, if you don't mind the explaining not being particularly exciting.

zhongli would appreciate tech talk, he's really bad at these things if they're not made with magic
