OOC INTRO - DEC 2018

[phantasmods]

Hello, and welcome to the OOC Intro for Phantasmal Rift! This post also serves as a CR meme for existing players and new!

Due to the unusual format of this month's dungeon and its extended length, the official IC intro won't be until the first week of January. The usual state-of-the-game update will also be at that time. In the meanwhile, new players can tag into either the first or second part of the dungeon log as they please! (You can also continue tagging your test drive threads, or move them over, as you desire.)

(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.)

As a reminder, all players get a free pass for activity check this month, so that you can have a relaxing holiday season here at Phantasmal Rift! Points will be tallied as normal on January 7th and posted with the State of the Game update, the in-game weather, and the teaser for the next dungeon at that time. Happy Holidays!

Character name + Journal: Nyx Ulric hardbargain
Canon: FFXV: Kingsglaive
Permissions: He's got cool tricks but nothing needing permissions.
What's their deal?: Straight out of the fall of Insomnia this particular Glaive really should be dead. He's not entirely sure what to think about not being dead. Snarky insubordinate asshole, gruff and traumatized war vet. A little self destructive and has a soft spot for ladies that remind him of his dead sister.
Plotting: Put a leash on this coeurl before he hurts himself more.

Character name + Journal: Rantaro Amami | whatsmytalentagain
Canon: Danganronpa V3 + Lockdown CRAU
Permissions: General permissions
What's their deal?: Chill adventure bro has been through one murder game too many. Tries not to let that get in the way, even though he pretty much lost his voice to that last one... Though he recently ended up with an upgrade to his watch that lets it speak for him, so yeah.
Plotting: After catching up with his classmate Maki Harukawa and such, he's gonna just wing it after he gets home from the dungeon, maybe take lessons on how to hammerspace or something. Though, depending on how the catching up with Maki goes, he might be losing some sleep over what she had to say, which means Close CR might recieve texts from him at four in the morning. Sorry.

[kingkingcxiii]

Your name: Neko Sandy
Contact info: NekoSandy | Discord: Neko Sandy#9993
Who are you?: Work from home customer service agent from NY. I work second shift and am a night owl so don't be too surprised to get tags at odd times. I ramble way too much about FFXV and whatever other games/anime I am interested in at the moment.
Character name + Journal: Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII | kingkingcxiii
Canon: FFXV: Kingsglaive
Permissions: N/A currently. Will be added once I'm home again.
What's their deal?: While Regis may often look stern and distant as befitting a king, he is very much a kindhearted and emotional man. More than anything he would have loved to have more time actually being able to be a father to his son, but fate and his duty to Lucis made that impossible. He carries his burdens and the pain channeling the Crystal has caused him with quiet dignity, despite the fact he would be well within his rights to be angry with the fate that has not only been laid upon himself (no father wants to have to strike a killing blow against their own child), but also upon his son. He strongly believes in his son, though, and that is why he was so willing to throw everything (including his life) away to get Noctis what he needed in order to fulfill that fate.
Plotting: Once he's released from the infirmary, good luck getting him inside again! After spending the last waaaay too many years mostly stuck inside the Citadel and even longer unable to leave Insomnia, he's going to be outside as much as he can for a while. Some fishing might be nice too... Honestly, anything that will keep him from getting too lost in his head will be what I'm looking for, for him. He might have been just a min or two from dying back home, but that doesn't mean he is going to be able just to let things go. His mind doesn't work that way.
Memeingful GIF: I'm not at home currently, so I have no gifs to share. Instead, accept a fun piece of head canon I have for Reggie when he was younger. How many of you would believe that he threw himself off the top of the Citadel just to see how quickly he could warp down? Yeah, the guard who was talking about it to one of his buddies within earshot of Regis almost died found out the CROWN PRINCE actually tired it. Gotta love that family flair for the dramatic! (King Mors, on the other hand, was not so pleased when he found out.)

a nai is never late etc

[founderinglight]

Your name: Nai
Contact info: starcrossedsky@plurk, starcrossedsky#0506 @ the disco
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. I'm slightly Mental Health and still suffering from mild burnout but you can expect me to be back to full for next dungeon.

[familiaridol]

Your name: Kaja

Contact info: kajarainbow

Who are you?: Deaf lesbian-leaning bisxual transgirl furry weirdo.


Character name + Journal:Clover (familiaridol)

Canon: Original (Invisible Hand)

Permissions: She doesn't have much of anything requiring permissions

What's their deal?: Woman of many careers: monster, ex-familiar, ex-hobo, renegade idol, professional musician, rabbit, troublemaker.

Plotting: Right now I'm gonna just focus on getting started in the game, but a concert will happen at some time, and anyone able to sing or play an instrument will be invited to perform. Other than that, expect her to try new things, cause and get in trouble, and confuse or surprise people.

Character name + Journal: Michael (eudaimonikos)
Canon: The Good Place / Azume CRAU
Permissions: Here
What's their deal?: Torture demon who went so hard that he looped back around and made friends with some humans instead. Is trying to be less terrible these days, has taken one Intro to Ethics course equivalent and will tell you about it. Went on a Pokemon adventure once and adopted the entire Ghost type.
Plotting: I just got here so. Whatever.

[plentyfriendly]

Your name: Awe
Contact info: awestriker or find me on Discord
Who are you?: 27, Colorado, he/him, probably straight despite all your efforts. I'm very late to this and don't drink coffee or alcohol so I don't have any.

Character name + Journal: Phi / plentyfriendly
Canon: Zero Escape -> Trustfell 4 CRAU
Permissions: here
What's their deal?: Serial murdergame veteran (two canon, one CRAU). More lost than she lets on now that all that stress is over; there's something she still needs to do at home but odds are it can wait plus her family and friends are helping with that. Trying to figure out how to use magic without being randomly granted it by exposure to chaotic Fissure energies. Owns one Pokemon, a Porygon, but it's not exactly trained for strength.
Plotting: She's probably due for a breakthrough in wizardry soon. Also the expedition sailed right over her birthday (Nov 16), and also Christmas, so for once she gets to experience the pain of One Party Multiple Occasions. She is officially 21 now by all sane reckonings, and even though she has imbibed before she will definitely do so again.

Plotting: Yes. All of it. Seriously, I'm not much of a planner. I'm a by the seat of my pants-er.
