Mod introductions

[haibanemods]

Hello again! There are actually two of us modding the game, so both of our introductions will go here.

K-mod is the mod who will be handling the majority of OOC posts, event posts, and NPCs. She lives in EST, and will typically be on from 4pm to 11pm EST.

R-mod is the mod who will be handling the coding and a lot of the background work. He will also be running NPCs and event posts when K-mod is unavailable. He lives in PST and will typically be on from 6am to 12pm PST, as well as from 7pm to 9pm PST (AKA 9am-3pm and 10pm-12am EST).

If you have any questions for either of us, feel free to ask!

Since the game will be starting soon I should probably break in the ooc introductions, huh?

I'm beans and I'm here playing Sunako from the series Shiki, specifically the manga and anime adaptations since they differ greatly from the novel. She will be going by the name Eve in game! I just typed that as Even and feel like I'm going to be doing that a lot more from now on...

Anyway! She's a vampire that is around 200 years old that decided it would be a great idea to try and make a Vampire Village!! By invading a secluded rural village and systematically killing every single resident. It ends badly. They are hunted down by all the townsfolk and the majority of her friends and family are killed and the entire village burns to the ground. If it wasn't obvious her trial has to do with being a murderer, either accepting the fact that she choose to become one or to have her sins forgiven by herself and by others. Bad end is if people keep letting her rationalize that behavior away.

My plurk is chocoletto and you can totally add me if you want!

Hi beans, nice to meet you! I'm Zaffre and I'll be playing Yoshinori from Yubisaki Milk Tea, who'll be known as Yuki in game. Sunako sounds like a very interesting character, and I look forward to playing with her in game.

[fearfactor]

Nice to meet you too! I just read your intro down below and I can definitely say that Sunako will be interested in him. As long as he is ready for lengthy existential chats.

Thankfully she might hold off on those for a bit until she gets more memories back...

[franchir]

He won't remember this, but Nori likes spending time with/listening to smart girls, so I'll bet he'd enjoy such chats!

[refusedtoleave]

Hi, I'm Kittylyoko and I'll be playing Nat/Nagame here.

Sunako sounds interesting. I vaguely recognise the series, so I think I might have seen some of it but yeah. Hope these two have fun sharing a wing until someone else moves in.

[fearfactor]

Nice to meet you!

It will be the nicest wing honestly. Girls only. No boys allowed.

[refusedtoleave]

Both of them are over 40 too, even if they don't know it.

It's the classy 'old' ladies' house at the moment.

[fearfactor]

Oh my god... It is...

Sunako will appreciate talking to a real adult woman and not understand why. I can't wait for her to piece together that she is older than she appears ahaha.

[refusedtoleave]

They even have the same dress sense...

Natsuhi is just going to think that Sunako is an mature adorable little girl.

[franchir]

Jumping in to intro as well, as the countdown to game start begins!

Hi all, I'm Zaffre and I'm playing Yoshinori Ikeda from Yubisaki Milk Tea, a lil ten volume manga that you've probably never heard of. Basically, it's a story about a teenage boy (Yoshinori here) who likes to cross-dress and goes around a lot of the time pretending to be a girl called Yuki. He also has to struggle with the fact that he's in love with two girls, the smart but hard-to-approach girl in his class and the girl next door he's basically grown up with. He spends pretty much the whole series going back and forth between them, all while also becoming more and more attached to his Yuki persona, to the point where he can't imagine giving her up either.

Suffice to say, he's got some stuff to figure out about himself.

As a note, this does mean that such subjects as gender dysphoria and transgenderism are likely to come up at some point with this character. I recognize these are delicate matters to bring up, so I promise to do my best to be careful and respectful in playing them out. Please feel free to contact me at any time should you have any questions or concerns about this, as I want to do my best to make for a comfortable and open playing environment with him.

My plurk is mokushiroku if you wish to add me for plotting! PMing this journal is also a good way to reach me as well.

[garudynamic]

Hey everyone! I'm Jess and I'm playing this nerd Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4. But in game he will be going by Hitori.

Persona 4 is a good hunk of years old now, but his trial has a LOT to do with one of the possible endings of the vanilla game, so please let me know if you want spoilers avoided (but only for the core game/Golden. Everything past that won't be an issue for him here).

Anyways-! You can contact me at raspberrydrink or of course in PMs to this journal.

[fearfactor]

Hello! Looks like we're in ryslig together too lol. I'm a big p4 fan so you don't have to worry about spoilers with me!

I look forward to playing together.

[garudynamic]

Same here! I am super excited!

[franchir]

Nice to meet you Jess! I'm familiar with P4, so no worries about spoilers with me either. Looking forward to playing with Yosuke, it should be fun to see how his trial works out!

I hope you don't mind if I add you on plurk?

[garudynamic]

Already added you back! And I'm pretty hype too~

[refusedtoleave]

Spoilers aren't an issue for me. Played the main game and already spoiled on golden.

I hope these two get along better than Natsuhi and Neku did at Ryslig.

[garudynamic]

HA god I hope so but I'm pretty sure he won't eat her here at least?

[refusedtoleave]

He better not!

She's just going to disapprove of everything.

[lionson]

Oh right yes OOC introductions.

I'm Mandy, and I'm going to be playing Shiro Fujimoto from Blue Exorcist, though in-game he's going to be going by Kai. Fortunately he is an old fart who has a canon death, so that part of his app was easy to do.

I'm over at husbando so feel free to friend me over there and we can plot things.

Also, as a note, this journal has icons of Shiro from two time periods (when he is 49 and when he is 34), but in this game he will be looking like the older version of himself, complete with wrinkles and beard.

[fearfactor]

hello!!! i'm just adding everyone that has posted haha

I read the beginning of blue exorcist ages ago and never followed through but it's a nifty little series and I look forward to playing with you! it's good that he is a real adult honestly not everyone in the house can be teenagers after all.

[franchir]

Hi Mandy, good to meet you! I started reading Blue Exorcist a few months ago, tho I haven't gotten too far yet. Shiro looks like he'll be a lot of fun, I really look forward to playing with him! And I'm definitely feeling added motivation to continue reading his canon!

[scanningutterly]

Hello! I'm Orly, and I'm bringing in Orlando Gardiner from Otherland, a collection of sci-fi bricks by Tad Williams. Orly is, uh, actually short for Orlando. He was my first character way back on lj and I got named after him.

So, Orlando's a giant nerd who had a nasty genetic disorder in life, and spent a lot of time in virtual reality. Figuring out his memories is going to be fun.

I'm ElspethVimes over at plurk, though email (agreylady at gmail) is also a good way to plot with me. Looking forward to playing here!

[franchir]

Hi Orly, nice to meet you! It looks like it'll be a lot of fun to play with Orlando, especially with getting virtual reality memories to mess with his sense of reality. I look forward to playing with you!

[scanningutterly]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it here!

"why do I have memories of being hooked up to ivs and memories of fighting a griffin I DON'T UNDERSTAND"

[fearfactor]

Hello! I'm looking forward to seeing how he deals with the virtual reality stuff. These poor haibane and their unhelpful memories...

[scanningutterly]

Hello!

I'm totally excited about Sunako, by the way. I still haven't watched beyond the pilot of Shiki but I have a Thing for Fuyumi Ono stories.

[alteregoist]

rolling in a little late is ME, hi. i'm alice! and i play conan edogawa from detective conan, that one never ending manga purgatory. to summarize, he was originally high school teen extraordinaire shinichi kudo and now he can't stop being five years old. like most fictional detectives he can be pretty arrogant, but he's surprisingly social despite this. unlike canon, he won't be putting up a childish act and will act very much like himself. like a regular teen. which may confuse a lot of people. maybe he'll dish out the baby talk when he feels compelled to it but otherwise, it's my goal to make him NOT do that kind of shit.

anyway i'm very excited for this game! feel free to add me over at powerbond anytime.

[fearfactor]

I really liked their thread on the tdm! I look forward to their interactions in game too.

[alteregoist]

I LIKED IT A LOT TOO i can definitely continue replying and consider it game canon so we won't have to repeat their meeting again

[fearfactor]

oh! we could do that! and just treat as them exploring the town after they got their first sets of real clothes. sound good?

[alteregoist]

sounds perfect! i'll get right on that then

[refusedtoleave]

Late but I'm Kittylyoko. Hi!

I'm going to be playing Natsuhi from Umineko or Nagame as she'll be called here. She'll mostly be the same as cannon, the only real difference is that she won't be as stressed so she won't be quite as grumpy.

I'm pretty excited for this, my plurk is Kittylyoko if anyone needs it.
