OOC intro - October 2018

Hello, and welcome to the OOC Intro for Phantasmal Rift! This post also serves as a CR meme and overall state-of-the-game update!

IC Intro will go up on Monday, at the conclusion of the dungeon - but if you'd like, you can go ahead and jump into the tail end of the dungeon log now! You're welcome to top your own top levels using whatever prompts you like, and if nothing works, we'll be back at base soon!

(And yes, you get loot for any further comments you leave on the dungeon log, up to a max of five, same as in-game players. Any loot earned thusly will be appended to the sign-ups under a header with your character's journal name.)

STATE OF THE GAME

Of ice and snow: The next dungeon will be Bellmare Mountains, a series of high peaks coated in ice and snow! As previously discussed, this dungeon - taking place OOCly over the holiday season - will be extended OOCly throughout the majority of December. Also as previously discussed, this dungeon's time is a bit strange, with the passage of time within the Fissure slowed - this is to bring the OOC and IC calendars back into something more closely resembling alignment. Please look forward to the full details of the schedule come dungeon sign-ups!
Permissions post round-up: If you have a required opt-in/out permissions post for your characters' powers, please make sure to drop it under the appropriate comment header below! Existing characters' permissions are already linked there, for your convenience.
Anything else?: As usual, the questions and feedback header is here for you!

CR MEME FORM;



And now, the weather;

10/6: Overcast leading into sunbreaks, with a mostly sunny (though still chilly) afternoon.
10/7-9: Sunny but cool; nights are not yet approaching freezing, but cold enough that most people will want some kind of jacket, especially with the sea breeze.
10/10-13: Overcast with occasionally drizzly rain.
10/14-18: Steady drizzle.
10/19: Sunny morning, overcast afternoon.
10/20: Increasingly heavy rain, from showers to "more than a drizzle, less than a pounding."
10/21-22: Drizzle, but moderate winds.
10/23-26: Cold snap! Nightly lows just shy of freezing, daytime chilly but clear.
10/27: Overcast but still cold from the cold snap; warms slightly overnight.
10/28-30: Overcast, periodic showers. Foggy mornings.
10/31: Clear and moderately warm by comparison to the rest of the season.
11/1-5: Foggy mornings, overcast, occasional showers.
11/6-8: Rainy, steady drizzle.
11/9-10: Overcast, with both occasional sunbreaks and spotty rain.

YUURI WAKASA, ERINA ESTIVAL & SOPHIE SUMMERHELM

Who are you?: I'm one of your spicy and delicious mods and I handle all the loot rolls so if you get some bonkers shit from the gacha when the dungeon ends, that's on me. My main hobbies include being sapphic and eating bread.
serrata: (kirararii001)

[personal profile] serrata 2018-11-03 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name + Journal: Yuuri Wakasa ([personal profile] serrata)
Canon: School-Live! (manga, with [community profile] theairlock CRAU)
Permissions: Slightly in need of an update, but here! I also have a universal HMD/opt out here.
What's their deal?: Yuuri Wakasa is a gentle but terrifying nee-san, who was the Team Mom of a cast of adorable moe girls, from an adorable moe slice of life story that got violently derailed when the zombie apocalypse happened. After a year or so of surviving this, all four of them got kidnapped to take part in an interdimensional murdergame TV show. As you can probably guess, that sucked too. Yuuri got adopted by a Final Fantasy endboss, survived the murdergame, died, got engaged and was eventually reunited with her canonmates, including her dead little sister and moved to P5 era Japan (yes, in that order). And then she got interdimensionally kidnapped again, so like... bummer for you, huh, Rii-san?

Despite the amount of Abject Bullshit she's been through, Yuuri's marginally more well-adjusted and leagues more emotionally healthy than she was in canon. She's a fussy, powerful team mom, the most terrifying little lady out of her entire murder family and she is very unhappy to find herself kidnapped from her slice of life happy end epilogue and dumped into another interdimensional kidnapping situation.
Plotting: AS A SHOCK TO EVERYONE, I HAVE PLANS FOR ONCE!

Yuuri's still spinning her wheels a bit over Junpei's absence but now Kurumi's here, she's got something and someone who needs her time and attention. She's going to be doing her best to get Kurumi settled into the station and probably bugging anyone who has the slightest bit of medical knowhow to see if they can do anything for Kurumi's condition. IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY MONTH FOR RII-SAN.

zweihandler: (the ecstasy of swords)

[personal profile] zweihandler 2018-11-03 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name + Journal: Erina Estival ([personal profile] zweihandler)
Canon: Original
Permissions: ahoy!
What's their deal?: A Sword Lesbian and her Lesbian Sword. Erina is your local Light Novel Superpowered Teenager from a Superpowered Teenager Battle School Story. To be more specific, she's a type of human known as a "Synchronic", which means that she's hardwired to be buffer, tougher and altogether better at battle than regular humans. In addition, this gives her the ability to bond ('Sync') with a sentient weapon known as a Key. Erina's key is a zweihander called, uh, Zwei, who comes as a combo platter with her Synchronic.

Erina herself is a horrible rude little goblin who memes on everyone she meets to the fullest extent of her abilities. She doesn't have any particular respect for authority figures and she's coping with the whole interdimensional kidnapping thing by causing trouble and generally being a bit of a nuisance. She means well under all the high velocity memeing but I sincerely apologize for her in advance. Gay for two things: haunted swords and women.
Plotting: No solid plans! Since I have Yuuri dealing with Everything About School-Live and a new character settling in this month, Erina is mostly taking it easy! She'll probably be doing a groupwatch of her favourite shitty horror movie at some point this month so keep an eye out for a log at some point.

Who are you?: Mod dad is here! Hello, I'm Nai, he/him/25/PST-with-the-worst-sleep-disorder-so-time-is-a-lie. Pretty much everyone knows me well enough to be deeply confused by the fact that I now have a girl in this game, as I'm usually team Boys are Cute to contrast Claire's Sapphic Nonsense. I have two cats and a mess going on in my RL right now, but outside of that I run a good portion of the plot and event modding.

I now have four characters here at Phanrift, so please hold for... a lot of characters.
summerbloom: (ss029)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2018-11-03 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name + Journal: Sophie Summerhelm ([personal profile] summerbloom)
Canon: Original
Permissions: IC impressions are here! as for permissions uhhhhhhh can i get back to you on that
What's their deal?: An ex-sickly anime waif and certified Good Girl. She learned alchemy from the alchemist who saved her life as a child and now travels around the JRPG country of Adelheld to prove herself and her mastery of alchemy. After getting mixed up with the party, they uncover a conspiracy, overthrow a church, summon a god, right wrongs and triumph over evil, all that good stuff.
Plotting: Settling in, mostly! I don't have any particular plans so this month I'll just be tagging out and establishing some CR.

Character name + Journal: Nikolai Gogol [personal profile] sendintheclown
Canon: Bungou Stray Dogs, Lockdown CRAU edition!
Permissions: Permissions, impressions ,and an opt-out here!
What's their deal?: Sometimes you're just so disillusioned with humanity you become a clown and kill a bunch of people because a lovely rat man told you to and that's just fine. Gogol is a menace, and kind of a bastard, but he's always having a Good Time* and that's really what's most important here.

He ended up in a murderschool in the way that murdergames go, killed someone, died, and had a combination existential-moral crisis but he's really trying his best to avoid thinking about that. Instead, he'd rather play word games, do magic tricks, date a goth, or do crimes.

*What qualifies as a Good Time for Gogol may not be such for literally anyone else.

Plotting: No solid plans yet! Just having this guy settle in to being alive, having to deal with the many, many, many mistakes he's made. Maybe he might even make some steps towards being a decent person?

Character name + Journal: Astolfo [personal profile] riderofcharlemagne
Canon: Fate/Apocrypha
Permissions: Permissions, impressions, and an opt-out here!
What's their deal?: Local pink idiot literally has no sense, too much energy, and a dangerous lack of impulse control. Also is a Servant, which is one of those anime things you become when you're a famous historical/mythological figure and you die. Astolfo's done that whole Holy Grail War thing, feel free to ask for details. To avoid any risk of vanishing into the ether, Izunia is Astolfo's current master, demonstrating the greatest of Goth/Prep solidarity.
Plotting: I got nothing in mind. Astolfo is, as always, just taking things as they come. Living in the moment. Also wanting now to become FRIENDS with our dear fragment-kun.

Character name + Journal: Kurumi Ebisuzawa @ bestburied
Canon: School-Live
Permissions: [COMING SOON NOISE]
What's their deal?: This is Kurumi, currently-ill former-sprinter of the School Living Club, which is - look Claire's made everyone watch it, it's a group of Japanese highschool girls in the zombie apocalypse trying not to die. Kurumi was the team muscle, but then she got bitten, sort-of fixed by an experimental medicine, and has had Some Complications with her health since then. She'll be arriving back to the station in a wheelchair and very tired after running around like a maniac after her form change let her get up and Do Stuff for the first time in a while.

Also, she's a Nai Character, so you know. You know her type already.
Plotting: Claire made me do it - anyway so Kurumi is going to be mostly Dealing With her health troubles and eventually starting to build her strength back up, and that's.... pretty much all I have planned for her this app cycle. It's okay she has a lot of people to meet and Junpeis to question the existence of.
anarchia: (BASS BOOSTED AWOO)

[personal profile] anarchia 2018-11-03 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name + Journal: Carnivac [personal profile] anarchia
Canon: Transformers (IDW)
Permissions: Permissions, impressions, and an opt-out here!
What's their deal?: Ex-robocop gets really mad about war and the government and enlists the help of a weird spider man to become his fursona and expose war crimes through means that may or may not be considered acts of terrorism. Despite earning himself a very negative reputation, Carnivac's actually kind of chill, if not just a little grouchy. He's just trying to make something of being here whilst he bides his time for Revolution.
Plotting: Just trying to get him out of his shell and out there making friends and being less of a stoic lone wolf.

Who are you?: [Short blurb about yourself goes here!]
Character name + Journal: Leonard [Lucis Caelum] Church [personal profile] motherfucking_ghost
Canon: Red vs Blue, Airlocked! CRAU
Permissions: n/a
What's their deal?: Once upon a time some old geezer didn't know how to grieve properly, made a copy of himself, tortured it to pieces (literally), and then stuck the prime piece which had gotten amnesia in a stupid-ass canyon surrounded by stupid-ass people who couldn't be trusted to fight in an intergalactic war. And then that prime piece got shoved into a murdergame and fell for a Final Fantasy endboss. Now he's here. There's less dying here, so that's pretty cool.
Plotting: [shrug emoji!] stuff happens and he reacts to it welcome to rvb. At least he's interested in phil the fragment properly!

Character name + Journal: Asch @ bloodyashes right here
Canon: Tales of the Abyss, CRAU via LifeAftr, which makes him like... one of two not!murdergame CRAUs around here
Permissions: Powers nonsense here and regular permissions here
What's their deal?: Child royal Chosen One gets kidnapped, brought up as a child soldier in the military of a religion he hates by an abusive mentor. Breaks free, spends a very stressful most-of-a-year trying to save the planet, dies. Wakes up on a bizarre tropical island, begins to learn less shitty coping mechanisms??? And now he's here.
Plotting: he did it, he did the whole adoption, ardyn's his dad now, we're all very proud of him. also he's got a really big sword to learn how to use. Generally, also, he's due for Nonsense, and awkwardly making a few more friends.

Character name + Journal: Izunia Lucis Caelum @ founderinglight right here
Canon: I'M STILL MAD AT TABATA
Permissions: bonk
What's their deal?: Local excessively tall goth actually retired king/spirit, his twin was the antichrist of their world at one point (but he's better now, because he was in a murdergame). Tends to be one of the more stable station residents until He Isn't, prone to dadding grandfathering anyone who looks like they might need it. Also, he's two thousand years old and slightly put out about no longer being the oldest at the Station, but it's fine, really.
Plotting: Izunia will, as usual, be going with the flow this month. Considering how prone to getting into everything he is, I don't have any serious plans except making Nao suffer.

Character name + Journal: Madeline Curie (Maddie) and her cat Zelnothoglys (Zel) [personal profile] blackestwitch

Permissions: Zel's ability to sense hostile intent
What's their deal?: Maddie is a blind magical girl. Her hobbies include running a podcast about magic, listening to audio books, and memes. Her cat, Zel, is actually an eldritch abomination that feeds off of magic, but he also recently gained a human form! So that's cool.
Plotting: I got nothin' atm.

Character name + Journal: Viral here @ machrophage
Canon: Gurren Lagann via Lockdown CRAU
Permissions: here
What's their deal?: In the far future of earth, shounen fighting spirit manifests as drills on mechs and there's a huge metaphor about drills and evolution. With lots of yelling. Viral is the rival-turned-ally who is the token Not Human team member at the end, and he's still... getting used to dealing with humans, which gives him Trouble sometimes.
Plotting: The big settling in dance, let's connect with some of the other murdergame survivors, let's ignore the clown as long as possible. Mostly he just wants to fight, so please let him, he has a lot of energy to burn off after murderschool.
