FEBRUARY OOC INTRO

[phantasmods]

Hello, and welcome to Phantasmal Rift! This post serves as our OOC intro post as well as a CR meme and general game update post!

GAME UPDATES:

SETTING: Nothing new here! Since the game's only just opened, you don't have any new setting pages to explore. But if you haven't yet, be sure to check out the Keystone Station page for all the info on the station itself, as well as the Housing Page to find out about your characters' living situation!

DUNGEONS: This month's dungeon will be the Keystone Shoreline! More information will come later in the month, but there's quite a bit more to it than the beach you explored on the test drive...

CALENDAR: The Game Calendar is currently up to date through the first week of May! This part of the game updates also comes with a poll! Do you want weather updates for the game? Do you want them on the calendar, or as a part of the regular game update, or something else?

APPLICATIONS UPDATE: Due to the near universal difficulties with the app word limit this round, we're upping the maximum to 2000 words. Also your mod is an idiot who forgot the contact info line that's also been fixed.

OTHER UPDATES: Especially since the game is brand new, we're always looking for feedback! If you have any commentary or concerns about the game, please respond to the QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK top-level comment on this post!

AND ONE MORE THING: Because I was a silly goob and forgot to put a line for contact info in the app, pleasepleaseplease fill out that line in the CR meme form so that I can get it on the Taken list, thanks!

Your name: Delphi
Contact info: plurk is endlessskies, discord is EndlessSkies#8955
Who are you?: Cubicle zombie with a chihuahua mix, and prone to getting just as yappy when excited/angry/emotions.
Character name + Journal: Charlie [no surname given], springlocking
Canon: Charlie is from the Five Nights at Freddy's books, which actually do exist, I swear to God, and don't follow the same timeline as the games.
What's their deal?: Blah blah tragic past, angsty surviving twin, no superpowers. Her dad made the Fazbear robots, his business buddy was the god damn Purple Guy, it all ended badly. ... But if some theories are right, it could've ended worse. To cut to the chase, there's some theorizing that in the games, Charlie is the inhabitant of THIS pain in every LPer's face. ... So yeah. Beware the quiet ones, and all that.
Plotting: I am all for CR that gets her out of her shell and emotionally invested in things, since she normally isn't. (I am also all for her going berserk to protect them.) ...or someone could protect her since she is 18 and child what are you doing running around with the protag card.
Memeingful GIF:
charlie has actually gotten this violent a few times in the books. it was fun. 8D

If it makes you feel any better, not many people know that Touma comes from a light novel series. Most people are only aware of the anime.

Anyway, Touma is a professional when it comes to protecting people and helping them with their emotional baggage. It's like his job except he gets paid in pain.

[springlocking]

Oh yeah, I was vaguely aware of this factoid myself because I wiki walk too often. Good times!

Pain: the universal currency. :|b

[foolishjustice]

...I would say there's nothing wrong with an 18 year old carrying the protag card, but then I look at Akira and shake my head, so.

Goro would be willing to look out for Charlie, though. He's trying to make more friends, and that means helping people, right?

[springlocking]

In a horror series! 8(

Yes indeed! Charlie is already thankful for the injury fixin'.

[foolishjustice]

Persona's kind of psychological horror :T Though at least these kids do have ways to fight back.

He's glad he could be useful! It makes him feel more confident he'll be welcome at least as long as he can keep certain things secret.

[springlocking]

FNAF is not so kind. :D;;

Man, as long as he hasn't killed any kids and continues to not do so, she won't go Pop Goes The Weasel on him.

[foolishjustice]

Here, let him teach you how to stab things.

Are we counting older teenagers? He killed someone about his own age in 15 Strangers. But other than that, all of his victims were picked for him based on who was an obstacle to some very powerful people, so it's unlikely he's murdered any children.

[springlocking]

She's more of a blunt objects/traps person...but yeah, it probably wouldn't hurt to know new ways of ending things.

Nah, not counting older teenagers. Though she will probably be a bit :/ without an explanation...but she killed a dude herself, so!

[foolishjustice]

The nice thing about stabbing things is that it's much easier to deal a lethal injury with something sharp. Granted, his preferred method of killing things is with a gun, but those seem to be in short supply and he's not letting someone have one without thorough training. Blowing things up is also fun.

It's a whole Story and one he's not proud of...he'll probably keep the fact that he's a murderer quiet from most people for a good while, since he's still expecting condemnation without care for the circumstances in most cases.

crowdad is here to protect every protagonestling so many kids

[springlocking]

did I mention her dad has been dead these eleven years and she got the wonderful experience of seeing the puddle of blood left behind after he offed himself?

the protag card is not kind

[rhododendronhoney]

Cori is going to try and protect her if she ever learns just how horrible her backstory is. Even though she's 3 years younger.

[springlocking]

and then there is a feedback loop of entirely unnecessary protecting

[rhododendronhoney]

she protecc

and she protecc

but most importantly

protecc

(oh yay, the puppet is my favourite!)

Astolfo's good at helping people get out of their shell, but also can & will fight a child if he needs to (please don't make him fight a child)

[springlocking]

(In hindsight, some of the descriptions in the book really should've given it away. SCOOOOOOTT)

Charlie is with him in the please don't make them fight children corner. (What do you mean she just barely qualifies as 'not a child' herself.)

[riderofcharlemagne]

(Sweet child I'm so sorry you're stuck in a puppet body now but at least it's a cool-looking puppet body)

As long as she doesn't get violent with anyone he cares about, he's good on the not-fighting-children front. (he's counting her as a kid, sorry Charlie)

[springlocking]

(and it's good for spooking people 83 )

As long as nobody he cares about kills kids, it's all good.

[riderofcharlemagne]

Good thing his canonpoint is from before anything like that happens, then...
