MAY MINGLE & CR MEME
MAY 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.
(In the future, we will have a thread at the top of the post for new players to link their comments, to help boost visibility — please keep an eye out for this in the future! Obviously, this round, everyone is new.)
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.

☆ The HATCHING LOG goes up on 05/21. Because pretty much everyone was on the TDM, we're going to expand this one considerably to extend beyond what was present there. Expect additional prompts!
☆ The first month's activity check will just be a check-in. Remember to visit the ACTIVITY PAGE to get yourself all set up.
☆ 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.
☆ You can ask general setting questions on our FAQ page.
☆ Our FIRST EVENT will be 06/10.
☆ Our next applications round opens on July 1st, at which point we'll start monthly cycles.We were just too excited this time.

JOURNAL:
INFO: you know how tons of anime have the mysterious, powerful older brother archetype? illumi is that for his canon, except 50% more airheaded and bizarre. he was trained to be an assassin since birth and thus he has a lot of weird skills and a super high pain threshold, and he's not shy about admitting his profession. he's VERY unbothered (its like, impossible to get a rise out of him or stress him out really, he's cool as a cucumber if you will). he's easy to talk to because he speaks in a very absentminded/laid-back way, and is surprisingly (bluntly) honest. that being said, he basically only thinks of himself and tends to think super coldly - he'll throw someone to the wolves if it means he'll survive, that kind of thing.
SKILLS: whew.... he's got a lot, here's a link to his application if you'd like to know a bit more detail! his survival skills are that he is immune to and has knowledge of many poisons and toxins, can go days without sleep or food, crazy high pain threshold, crazy high stamina, very good at killing things because of his assassin work. if he doesn't already have immunity/minimized reaction to the toxins on the planet, he is very willing to build an immunity himself by microdosing/poisoning himself intentionally over time.
the short and sweet version of his supernatural skills is that he has mind control that he can use on living or dead people. he can also manipulate his appearance, and other people's appearances. these skills might be helpful if the PCs ever had to infiltrate somewhere, illumi can change his appearance to even look barely human, so he might even be able to imitate one of the other races on the planet.
other than that, he also has really strong psychic energy, and when he emits it, it makes everyone around feel very tense/scared. he can make everyone aware of his bad vibes, basically. the main use for this on camp leviathan is that it tends to scare animals away, so this would probably be helpful in keeping low level threats away from the party™ on missions. he also has supernaturally high stealth.
AREAS OF INTEREST: i'm super interested in interacting with how trust is built between the PCs, as well as between the PCs and NPCs! i'm also really interesting in seeing what kind of other flora and fauna there is on the planet, and also the Thessyx seem super interesting too?! i was also super interested by how the adamant is abandoned... there seems to be a lot of fun stuff to explore and i'm really looking forward to it!!
PLANS/GOALS: illumi will almost certainly rub some people the wrong way and make people sus; i expect him to not expend maximum effort to save every person he can, and not care if NPC crew members die so long as he gets information out of it. i am not shy about making negative cr so i'm definitely planning for a bit of it... another thing is that because of his mind control powers, he sort of has an obsession with putting extremely powerful abilities under his control, so i will also be looking for things like that on the planet (or among the PCs even??) that would pique his interest.
CR PREFERENCES: of course everything! but here are some specifics:
📍 other assassins/mafia/criminal/underworld working types! if you're looking for someone who won't judge your characters bad/evil profession or past, he's your guy.
📍 have you got a grumpy/hard to get close to character? illumi is immune to getting offended by these types because he is so unbothered, he will put up with so much.
📍 negative cr of course i am open to; illumi is pretty cruel and will kill even innocent people if he thinks it will help him survive a sticky situation, or he will leave people behind if he doesn't think saving them is worth it. so heroic and compassionate types are bound to clash with him eventually!
📍 POSITIVE CR OF COURSE TOO, he will eat all your shitty food that you don't want because he grew up eating poison so a crumbly protein bar is like a delicacy to him. think of him as your garbage disposal. he's very competent while also being an airhead, so he's a good, if not funny ally
MISC HOOKS: yes he is a walking pin cushion, all those needles on his clothes are IN his body. he's a freak?? also he digs holes in the ground to sleep in sometimes, if the soil was not toxic he WOULD be doing this instead of sleeping in the hammocks
NOTES:
exhibit A with the hole digging

anyway yes im excited for cr and to get to know your gundam boy!! illumi will for sure go peeking at vidar's big robot outside camp, you know, for science

i'm here for assassins who don't judge cr but i'm going to be having nightmares about diglett over here for a WHILE whew
no subject
BUT YES i am def here for assassin cr!! illumi comes from an assassin family who like, literally gives discounts to other assassins out of #respect for the game, so they will be cool. they can bond over being out of a job in this place, unless the npcs start wanting to put hits out on each other, tbh
