OOC Intro Mingle



Welcome to Knowhere, everyone! This post serves two purposes - to have everyone OOCly introduce themselves to everyone else and to start plotting for the game's opening event! You won't be getting a full in-depth explanation of the plot until opening day, but what's wrong with a little taste?

PLOTTING
What we can tell you is that our opening event will be a week long and during that time the network will not be available - an action based log will be up at game's opening for the length of the event. It's primarily a combat oriented event, so if you have a character who can't defend themselves it's a great time to find someone who can and become fast friends. Don't worry though, what spirals out of this will require sharp minds instead of sharp weapons.

NPCs will not be available for questioning during the event, but one or two will pop up afterwards to handle any major questions characters might have.

INTRODUCE YOURSELVES
Exactly what it says! Tell us a bit about yourselves, how to contact you, what you're interested in, who you play, and so on and so forth. Mingle and get to know each other, work out some ideas for CR, whatever!

Here's a handy textarea of stuff to copy and paste if you need a guide! All the things are optional and you don't even have to use what we've provided if you don't want to.


Welcome and we hope you have fun!

Not enough DORK in here, lemme fix that

[personal profile] alwaysadrift 2014-06-19 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hello! I'm Sarah and I am GIANT NERD. (actually at 6'1", I really am) ANYway I bring you a GIANT DORK from IDW's Transformers comics, pulled from the current book More Than Meets The Eye. Because this franchise never names anything originally.

So, aside from being quite a large robot (~18ft unless you include the helm finials), what we have here is a former homeless dude and ex-notorious-Decepticon turned new age spiritual guy after a near death experience. Oh, and he used to be an Autobot too but they kicked him out because he has an overactive sense of self-sacrifice and took the fall for some other guys. Yep, Drift has been a lot of things in his life and is named for more than just his short stint in Japan doing Tokyo drift racing! (yes really, thank you Hasbro).

ANYWAY, he's generally a friendly and optimistic person with a fast car for an alt and is quite adept at making things dead with swords. Also he now has Precognition powers! (which will make him even more new agey, bet you didn't see that one coming?)

As for me, I'm not into fandoms too deeply but there are lots of things I'm into. Transformers, Dragon Age, Walking Dead, Babylon 5, ATLA/LoK, Mass Effect, AND MORE but I'm lazy... I love robots and anything sci-fi/fantasy really. Hobbies include drawing, writing, web design/coding, crafting, video games, and tabletop gaming. I do freelance design/graphic art while also being a part time caregiver to my mother who is a stroke survivor.

AND PLOTTING THINGS, I'll be gone for the whole first week of game bc of a very inconveniently timed family vacation. /cries So hopefully some of you will be cool with me coming in and back tagging late?? Or just being super slow the first week...?? Drift is likely to be where the battle is, either kicking ass or helping/protecting people as needed.

Can't wait to start playing with all of you! Feel free to add me on plurk, for plotting or whatevers! [plurk.com profile] ladyofdragons

Drift, good luck of getting rid of Newt. Like ever. Even if you weren't a giant robot, he'd want to hang out with you. That's saying something, my friend.

Nice to put a name to a muse, Sarah! Bailey, pleasure to meet you.

How do you feel about that whole adding each other on plurk business?

HAHA I was just hitting your post! Great to make your acquaintance, Bailey. c:

Cling to him all you want Newt, Drift needs fraaaaands. He has precisely zero in exile. ;A; I adored Newt in PacRim, so this should be fuuuuuuun. :D

As for adding; DOOO EEEET. Or maybe I'll get there first.

(gosh I am awfully hyper tonight go figure.)

I'm sure Starscream can insult him plenty in the meantime.
