Hold for applause.

Hey folks! I'm Wighty, brand new player to this game, and I'm bringing in Viridi from this totally obscure video game they totally didn't push on everyone with a 3DS like, ten years ago called Kid Icarus: Uprising. (I test-drove a different character in early September but decided to go with someone else.)

Fun facts about Viridi!

She's the goddess of nature, so she's done this before, so make way for someone with some actual world-making experience, losers. She's also puny and powerless and is basically a ten year old girl so feel free to make fun of her oversized ego. Viridi has a huge chip on her shoulder over how terrible humans treat nature and might or might not have tried to eradicate them all. She does have a bit of a point! But in general, she hates humans and loves all other life forms.

Very important, Viridi is extremely cavalier with the fourth-wall and will often make references to memes or modern day inventions she couldn't possibly know about. She's aware she exists in a video game and drops references to that fact freely. In RP, I will never say anything about anybody else's character being fictional, but I will default to a low level of trolling and referencing. She might make inaudible asides about how she lives now in an RP. If you prefer no antics at all, drop a note in my Permissions Page.

Looking forward to playing with you all! I'm on

Holsety if anyone wants to hit me up for anything!

hey everyone! aerith has a pseudo-flower business that she's running out of the lemon cello church (with business assistance provided by ren, and deliveries performed by a one cloud strife). if your character would like to request a delivery, please comment here! otherwise, leave comments on that post, or this one, if your character would like to be involved in some way. finally, to "pay" for flowers...there really isn't a fee of any kind, but characters can offer some kind of trade, IOU, etc. if they so desire.

let me know if anyone has questions! /o

Activity Check Reminder The current activity period will end in one week on September 30th 11:59 PM (UTC). If you have not filled out your September 2020 activity, please do so on the Activity Check page before the end of the month to remain in good active standing.

If your character’s application was accepted in September 2020, you are exempt from the minimum activity requirements for this month. You may submit full or partial activity for influence, but you must leave at least a check-in comment to pass the activity check.

Players on hiatus are exempt from the activity check. They do not need to check-in for the month and may submit any valid activity for influence after their hiatus has ended.

If you have any questions regarding the activity check, please contact us through the mod contact or FAQ.

Event Bonus
Since this our first event with an AC bonus included, we'd like to go over this one more time to ensure that everyone is on the same page. To receive the +5 influence bonus for September, you must complete an AC-length thread (5 comments from your character) with your assigned partner. This thread must be related to an exchange of memories between the two characters during the event period.

The event bonus thread will be submitted through AC, and a new section has been added to the form to accommodate this. You may submit your thread for the September event bonus no later than October's Activity Check. As the purpose of the event bonus is to encourage CR rather than monthly activity, comments made in October will also be valid. However, if you would like to use the same thread for your regular monthly activity as well, the usual AC rules will still apply.

If there are any issues with your assigned partner, or if you missed the sign-up period and would still like to participate, you may reach out to us through the Mod Contact post and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Dolly here, some of you may remember me from such RPs as this one like a month and a half ago. I was playing 2B but wasn't feeling her, got swept, but am now back with this little bird-girl OC of mine.

Lysandra K. Weiss here is a 19-year-old college student from a version of Earth where things are complicated -like really complicated- and humans with animal features began to appear in the late 2030s. Unlike most harpies, she cannot fly due to a medical condition but has sort of overcame that handicap by refocusing herself on track and field and has become something of a runner, the only harpy to do so in her school.

You can read more about her background and why her world suddenly got monster girls out of nowhere here.

obsessiveness

oh god i completely forgot how to make ooc posts on my own BUT HI HELLO i am blair and i am new to the game!! i am bringing you izumi sena from the hit idol game ensemble stars! (just one exclamation point, since im taking him from before it split into two apps)

izumi is... a bitch, honestly. he's foulmouthed and overly critical, much like a violent-tempered cat (his stated hobby is bullying underclassmen, in fact :/). but his strive for perfection and beauty has also made made him super fussy towards people, and would pull his weight and would definitely extend a help to anyone who needs it, though one has to chip at his rock-hard exterior to get to that sweet, soft center. and when you do get to that gooey center of his........ boy.

oh and he's also an idol! except he's hiatusing from that because he's focusing on modeling full-time abroad, so he's going to be pissed as all fuck when arriving to this world! yay! also also he's leo's closest friend and muse and he's going to put that orange disaster on a leash from here on, probably. what joy.

anyway that's enough babbling from me, but can u blame me for being excited to be here. i can be reached at

romanticizes for plotting and whatnot, so feel free to add me there!

August Game Updates New Player App Period
Our next new player app cycle will open on September 5th at 12:00 AM (UTC).
New player reserves will open in 2 hours from now, on August 30th at 12:00 AM (UTC). Please note that reserves will last one week from the day they are placed.

Since this will be our first app cycle under the new system, the full details of how the new player queue will work can be found on the Applications page.

As previously stated, nothing is set in stone and we're open to making changes to this system in the future based on player feedback. Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns about the new app queue in the feedback thread below. Comments from players not currently in the game are also welcomed and appreciated!

Organic Imprints
A new page dedicated to organic imprints will be going up on September 7th. This page will allow players to submit threads as consideration for organic imprints as well as make it easier for everyone to keep track of what concepts and changes are currently being explored. We need a little more time to set everything up, so please have patience with us!

In the meantime, we'd like to remind everyone that there is a form at the top of the Locations page for physical changes characters have made to locations within the setting. We have also added new options to the Bestiary page for Name Suggestions and Species Assignment.

New Imprints
Lastly, we have a new round of organic changes! 3 locations, 2 species and 2 concepts have been updated with the changes below. This will be reflected on the Locations, Bestiary and State of the World pages shortly.

If you have any questions about these changes, you can leave a comment in the imprint questions thread below. You may also use the comments section of this post to discuss plotting ideas with other players.

Imprint Update The new imprint round and event log is live! We're running a little late this time due to some unforeseen circumstances, but we hope everyone enjoys the new additions to the game's setting.

As of now, our imprint queue is empty! That means that we won't have any new locations or species added to the setting until some are either submitted or new characters are added in the next app round. You can expect to see more organic imprints in the meantime, so please let us know if your character is investigating something that your think could trigger a change in the world!

We'd also like to note that the final images for the new species aren't ready just yet, but we will be adding them as soon as they are. Please send our Crystal Exarch player Kiwi some love for her amazing designs!

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲
5 new imprints have been added to the game’s setting, including 1 location and 2 unique species. This information will be copied to the Locations and Bestiary pages shortly.

There have also been updates to 3 sections of the State of the World to reflect new imprints and organic developments.

If you have any questions for the mods about the newly added imprints, you can leave a comment in the questions thread below. You may also use the comments section of this post to discuss plotting ideas with other players.

Imprint Update Our second round of imprints are now live! Before we go over the new locations and creatures, we have a few more imprint-adjacent changes to go along with them.

▶ We have moved the majority of information related to imprints from the Imprints page to the FAQ. The "new" and updated FAQ questions have been marked, though they are mostly unchanged. This is mostly to cut down on duplicate information between the two pages and keep the imprints page brief.

▶ In addition to the not-new "new" questions, there is also an actually new question on the FAQ clarifying the difference between organic imprints and "non-organic imprints", which have been named canon imprints. These will be referred to as imprint methods from now on.

▶ Influence may now be spent as soon as your AC has been submitted for the month and your new influence totals have been calculated. You are still limited to only one canon imprint per month, however, and this will include the imprint submitted on your app.

▶ Influence costs for all regains have been reduced from 10/20/30 to 10/15/20.

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲
11 new imprints have been added to the game’s setting, including 3 locations and 2 unique species. This information will be copied to the Locations and Bestiary pages shortly.

As we are anticipating a much smaller app round this month, we are holding on to the final 4 imprints in the queue for the upcoming intro log.

If you have any questions for the mods about the newly added imprints, you can leave a comment in the questions thread below. You may also use the comments section of this post to discuss plotting ideas with other players.

☕ HEAVENLY BLANC VOID PARTY: OOC ANNOUNCEMENT ☕

Hi everyone! Now that it's been a month into the game and characters have had some time to explore, get settled, and try to wrap their heads around what's going on, Tifa Lockhart and Ren Amamiya will be throwing a get-together at Heavenly Blanc!

This will be an opportunity to meet new faces as well as hang out with older ones, share what everyone has found, and discuss potential theories about how this world came to be, why things are the way they are (what is up with those dragonkarps!?), and whether there's a way in and out through the Void. There will be drinks provided (booze, water, and coffee), games (assuming they can get light in there somehow), and most importantly: good company!

There will be an IC log provided that will go up sometime on August 1st, so please feel free to top-level and tag around on the post when it does.

There will also be a top-level provided on the log for players to leave notes on what was ICly discussed if you wish to help compile information in a place that is easy to access for everyone. It would be useful for anyone who does not wish to read all of the threads!

Any questions about the gathering can be left on this post.

See you there!

Game Updates Our new Test Drive Meme is up on the meme community, and with it come a few small changes to the setting! We're still working on the rest of the imprints from character apps, but we hope these changes will give everyone something fresh to work with in the meantime while we finish getting everything ready.

We have also added a Calendar to the navigation page. We will be updating this calendar to include planned player and mod events as they come.

Regarding imprint updates and events moving forward, we have decided for the time being to only have the one monthly intro/event post on the 15th as our scheduled event mingle. An additional imprint update may still be posted each month depending on the state of the imprint queue, but it will not be on any particular schedule or have a dedicated mingle log. We will also be looking into relaxing some of the imprint/influence rules since the queue has been more manageable than expected. We'll have more information on this with the imprint update in a few days.

Without further ado, here are the sections that have been updated in the State of the World page.

If your character was accepted in the July 2020 app cycle, you are exempt from the minimum activity requirements for this month. You may submit full or partial activity for influence, but you must leave at least a check-in comment to pass the activity check. Since everyone is new for this activity check, all characters may pass with a check-in if you do not have enough activity to submit for influence.

Players on hiatus are exempt from the activity check. They do not need to check-in for the month and may submit any valid activity for influence after their hiatus has ended.

If you have any questions regarding the activity check, please contact us through the mod contact or FAQ.

Grand Opening Tabula Rasa is now officially open! An intro mingle will be going up shortly to help everyone with getting settled in. Players are also welcome to create their own open and closed posts on the game's main community now. Please refer to the Tag & Posting Guide on the main RP community for help with setting up new posts.

Before we get into the new imprints, some quick housekeeping:

▶ The Imprints page has been updated to mention that imprint costs cannot be split between two characters, as well as a short explanation about submitting similar imprints to strengthen their effects.

▶ The section on the FAQ regarding cast and franchise caps has been updated. Upon further reflection, we feel some of the examples we gave were in a gray area and have decided to handle the categorization of franchises on a purely case-by-case basis. If a cast or franchise is already at its cap and you'd like to apply for a character whose canon may fall under that cap, please ask ahead of time so we can evaluate the situation.

▶ We have updated the samples requirements on the Application to include threads from other Dreamwidth games, memes, and private storylines. These new options will go into effect starting with our next app cycle.

▶ The section for Species on the State of the World page has been removed, and a Bestiary page has been added instead.

▲▼▲▼▲▼▲▼▲
20 new imprints have been added to the game’s setting, including 7 locations and 4 unique species. Due to the large amount of new information being added this round, please see the Locations and Bestiary pages for the full details.

If your character's imprints didn't make it in, don't fret! This is only the first round of applicant imprints. The next imprint round will be posted sometime before the end of July.

If you have any questions for the mods about the newly added imprints, you can leave a comment in the questions thread below. You may also use the comments section of this post to discuss plotting ideas with other players.
