JULY/AUGUST OOC INTRO

Hello, and welcome to the sixth 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.)

Note:: Due to slowness in app responses, loot for new characters on the dungeon will be tallied at 11:59 PM Monday July 30th (instead of 11:59PM Sunday). Loot for existing characters will be tallied at the usual time. Further updates may be forthcoming.

STATE OF THE GAME

AC changes: Starting this cycle, AC will be on the 7th of each month, instead of a week after intro. This means points more often for everyone! Yay points. And yes, the calendar has been updated to reflect this.

STATION UPDATES: New housing? New housing! That's the bulk of it. Check it out here - ten singles in Lodestone, plus a whole new building featuring a gym and the long awaited doubles apartments. There is also now a page for Lodestone Station as well!

Onward the journey!: The next dungeon will be Telovia Crystal Mines, in search of the android Neutrino! Stay tuned for more details in the future!

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;

7/6; Sunny but a strong wind sets in in the afternoon, bringing with it stormclouds and a brief afternoon rain.
7/7-9; Sunny and warm, with a light breeze.
7/10-13: Sunny and humid; still air.
7/14-16: Foggy mornings, sunny afternoons, clear nights.
7/17-21: A long progression of "sunny and warm until late afternoon, clouds start to build around 3PM, intense but scattered rain from ~4PM to midnight with thunder."
7/22-23: Two days of full grey thunderstorms.
7/24-28: Sunny and breezy.
7/29: Sunny; high winds, making the day feel almost cold to those outside.
7/30-31: Sunny, hot, and humid, with scattered single clouds. Not quite heat wave material, but miserable for those not used to it.
8/1-3: Sunny with scattered clouds and cooler temperatures.
8/4-7: HEAT WAVE: Increasingly hot and sticky, recommended that you stay inside unless you're particularly well-adapted to hot climates.
8/8: Thunderstorm with impressive, pounding rain breaks the heat wave a little after noon, and continues into the morning of the 9th.
8/9: Stormy morning, fading into overcast throughout the day and eventually sun in the late afternoon. Heat wave ends, leaving the area much cooler.
8/10-13: Sunny and relatively cool.

Who are you?: Just your token Aussie girl. I live in the future, so will be online at odd times compared to most, and have a tendency to lurk in chats because how do social. Occasionally known to talk about things for far too long on end when excited about it. I play FFXIV and raid on my Tuesday and Saturday for two hour blocks so may not respond during those times. Otherwise I'm basically always around.

Your name: Awe
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] awestriker, or find me on the discord
Who are you?: mid-20s web developer, increasingly rare straight man in journal rp

Character name + Journal: Aya Shameimaru / [personal profile] bulletnews
Canon: Touhou Project
What's their deal?: Annoying tabloid reporter. Because of the highly unique nature of Gensokyo, her home... "country"?, she's treating it more seriously than she treats most anything else (except not). Very fast and strong, and full of supernatural wind powers.
Plotting: Nonzero chance she tries using the air ducts to spy on people now that she can turn into wind while moving fast and then gets stuck because it only works while she's moving fast.

Character name + Journal: Phi / [personal profile] plentyfriendly
Canon: Zero Escape + Trustfell 4
What's their deal?: Chill, mysterious, but extremely blunt. Three-time murdergame participant between twice in canon and once again in her CRAU. Actually a little looser and more trusting after her CRAU because Estelle and Hanyuu are good influences. Doesn't actually have white hair (it's orange, so technically she's a Magic Redhead With A Terrible Life A Pretty Sizeable And Recent Section Of Life That Was Pretty Terrible). Second-generation time clone.
Plotting: She has a lot of things to work through since there's a bunch of people that actually know how to fight here and meanwhile she just kicked her brothers* in the face once each. (*It's very complicated.)

Memeingful GIF: Unfortunately I have nothing.

Your name: Emily
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] deerleisure
Who are you?: gay girl trying to make it in a wild world

Character name + Journal: Signe VÃ¥gsnes | [personal profile] einherjarista
Canon: Bleach OC (tabletop set in the Bleach universe, but in Norway)
Permissions: Power-based permissions here
What's their deal?: An Einherjar (think Bleach-style Shinigami but Norse) who once ran away from her post in Valhalla and slummed it as a college barista in the human world. Then Plot Shit happened, she's cool with Valhalla again, and she's saved the world, you're welcome. Nobody pays her enough for this. An anime-style mentor, does a lot of line-facing and not telling you what's going on. Cares deep down, maybe.
Plotting: Give Signe some CR! Some easy ins: fellow coffee enthusiasts, people who have issues with death or souls, other old people who look younger than they are. She also has a mentoring streak if you're somebody in the same kind of fields she's in (death god or coffee worker.)

Character name + Journal: Maddie Curie + Zel | [personal profile] blackestwitch
Canon: OC, Invisible Hand
Permissions: Powers permission for Zel's ability to sense "hostile intent"
What's their deal?: Maddie is a blind teenage podcaster and kind of a shitposter. She wears bad novelty T-shirts and considers it performance art, since she doesn't know what she's wearing until people react to it. Beyond that, she's also a part-time criminal and full-time Magical Girl. Her cat, Zel, is actually an eldritch spider monster, but he's cool. You like spider-cats right.
Plotting: Maddie has a pretty good array of adults watching out for her (although one or two more couldn't hurt), but she really needs friends her own age. Or a girlfriend her own age.

Character name + Journal: Nono | [personal profile] nonono7
Canon: Diebuster
Permissions: Nono has no special powers whatsoever so you know this is a lie, just nothing permissions worthy
What's their deal?: Nono is the most upbeat BUT BURNING SHOUNEN HEART robot to ever exist. She loves giant robots, being a hero, her onee-sama, and birbs, but not necessarily in that order.
Plotting: Nono came in last month but hasn't really established a good CR foothold yet, so any frands would be welcome. She can connect easily with robots/people who like tech, HEROES or hero fanboys, or people who love animals (esp. birbs.)

Who are you?: 34/he, the game's Token Straight Guy. I work at a university where I try to convince engineering software to behave, and I spend too much money on robot toys.
Character name + Journal: Arianna Wakasa of Caledonia [personal profile] daughterofthemark
Canon: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold - Airlocked CRAU
Permissions: I should do one of these at some point
What's their deal?: Arianna is a princess from post-post-apocalyptic fantasy Scotland who can make people stronger by yelling at them. She loves everyone who isn't a kidnapping shapeshifting tree alien and she can't wait to be everyone's best friend. But she's also a two-time murdergame survivor and this has left her with Issues.
Plotting: Arianna is, as always, out to Befriend Everyone. In the near future she'll also be trying to check in on everyone who got hurt in the dungeon (especially if they're named Yuuri) and meet all the new people. More generally, she's just looking for ways to make herself useful. ALSO! She is interested in organizing A Party Game for everyone, probably truth or dare or king's game (the latter of which will need some OOC organization). I mention this mostly to force myself not to forget about it.

Who are you?: hey kids, I'm Claire (she/her), one of your spicy and delicious mods. I love pink things, cute anime girls, and i wholeheartedly believe that anime was a mistake that we, as a species, must all atone for.

As a quick heads up, I'm currently away on vacation! I should be back on Wednesday but I've also been at Comic Con all weekend so there is at least a 70% chance that I will fucking die of con crud once I get home. Please excuse my slowness in the meantime!

Contact info: [plurk.com profile] ProfessorProf
Who are you?: at age six I was born without a face
Character name + Journal:
Canon: Faith Fallon | [profile] professorprof | Original (InHand)
Permissions: Permissions, Impressions
What's their deal?: Magical girl whose whole magical girl fighting setup was a lie created by Rich Immortal White Guys. They've since been dealt with, now chilling out and coping with a bunch of pent-up rage and PTSD. Has a big axe and a magic leg, swears a lot.
Plotting: Faith's currently out making sure people don't die in the dungeon. Beyond that, she's relaxing, watching bad movies, combat training, and too single for her own good. Want friends, want angry teenagers, want girlfriend.

Who are you?: My name is Chi I like to RP and draw and stuff
Character name + Journal: Karamatsu Matsuno + [personal profile] karappo
Canon: Osomatsu-san (Ryslig CRAU)
Permissions: Located in Kara's HMD on his journal!
What's their deal?: Karamatsu is a monster refugee from the peninsula/game of Ryslig currently residing in the station with his brother of similar monstery status, Choromatsu! Shenanigans have since ensued.
Plotting: So I want to apologize for how horribly I flaked out on the last event/dungeon, in which I did...nothing, at all. I know I don't really need to explain myself or anything but I had a really bad bought of friend drama crop up that same week and things got pretty ugly, so I hadn't had the energy or drive to rp really much at all. I really apologize for that and I hate that I missed everything because I really was looking forward to my first event here, but I guess that's just how it shakes out sometimes. I really want to try and get myself back together and doing stuff here though, so I hope you guys will be willing to give Kara another shot. I really wanna do some plotting with you guys and start building some meaningful CR because I've enjoyed my time here so far quite a bit despite everything. I have some plans for some network posts for Kara in the works but otherwise I'm up for anything!

If it's kosher I plan on just handwaving if I can that Karamatsu was at the dungeon with Choromatsu, he just got there late and spent a majority of his time looting since that's what tempted him to go in the first place.

Who are you?: 31, she/her pronouns, EST but also a flight attendant and thus availability varies! Social anxiety is a thing, but I am working on it. Ace/demiromantic, happily married with a girlfriend too. And very, very excited to be here!
Character name + Journal: Ruto Lhauske [personal profile] moarlazersplz
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Permissions: Here
What's their deal?: Cheerful Customs catgirl gets Great Destiny shoved upon her by a giant glowing maternal rock, starts punching gods, fights an empire, punches some more gods, ends an ancient war, keeps punching gods, liberates two countries from said empire, and punches more gods. Also, gets heavily distracted by books.
Plotting: To some extent, I'm really just interested in getting Ruto settled for now and interacting with people. I'd love to see her compare/contrast primals with other versions of FF summons or other people's summons in general, but I'm trying to let her really develop her own voice and see where she'll go!

Who are you?: I like sparkly cute things and sad moe girls, I guess?

Character name + Journal: Kawasumi Mai [personal profile] nojohnyouare
Canon: Kanon, specifically KyoAni's 2006 adaptation, and a CRAU from [community profile] theairlock
Permissions: Power permission.
What's their deal?: Emotionally challenged girl trying to deal with life when she's already died twice. She loves animals and food, fights recklessly with a prop sword she uses like a real one, and has a pet bear in a little robot body.
Plotting: Mai's getting a new sword from the toy store on the last day of the Fissure so she doesn't have to worry about that one melting too, but other than that, the events of the past two Fissures have led her to try and come to terms with healing again. She may try and attempt it in private or even approach you if you're hurt. Aside from that, I'll throw her at just about anything.

Your name: Incardine
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] NekoIncardine
Who are you?: Alaska-based codemonkey.

Character name + Journal: Pidonus Marasia, [personal profile] have_hat_will_travel.
Canon: OC from a D&D-rules Universe.
Permissions: Here!
What's their deal?: Pidonus is a powerful Succubus and Bard, having run a special high-optimization build to better attain her now-former goal of destroying the Demon Lord of Wrath. Right now, she's got some turmoil going on due to kind of realizing she prefers this world to her own, but feeling obligated (due to what the majority of people around her have recognized as rather heavy-duty brainwashing) to return home even though odds are it'd be returning to her death.

Plotting: Over the next month, as Pidonus turns all the resources she'll have acquired from Incendia into her goal, she'll be unintentionally creating a Palace of sorts - at this point, it'll actually be possible to properly break her Queen's control over her safely.

Memeingful GIF: Doggo.
