August 2022 Story of Us

Story of Us: August
Announcements and Feedback
Hello Folkies! This is our monthly Story of Us post where we get together to make game announcements, ask for any feedback or suggestions, partake in character relationship memes and open up our invites for the upcoming application cycle!

Check out the bottom of this post for important dates to keep an eye on!

Mod Help Needed


We are in desperate need of some mod helpers! We need someone to help take over Activity Check and the Spoons page. Both of these are relatively straightforward tasks!

Activity Check requires you to respond accordingly to all players and make an updated post about who needs to respond still/who has been swept through AC or drops.

Spoons merely require you to make sure counts generally look right and that any purchases are approved.

We would also appreciate any help on App Reading anyone would be willing to give. Thank you!

If you are interested in any of the above, please shoot us a DM on our mod account on Dreamwidth with your name, contact information, and what you are able to help with.

Announcements


All prompts and events from July and August will end September 1st. Camp Camelot will vanish into thin air. If you happen to be at the camp or in the cabins at this time, they will merely vanish into golden dust around you. Any items won/gained during Camp Camelot will be on your character's person or at their home.

The floods from August will have mostly dried up within the first week of September although it will still be a bit muddy!

UPDATE AS OF 08/26/2022


Hello! Please refer to our Mod Announcement for new information regarding the upcoming Application/Reserves section!

All players are permitted two invites that will expire November 11th. This means all invites on this page are good for October and November cycles.

Applications/Reserves will be suspended until October 1st. Check-In will be optional for August.

Additionally, we are thrilled at the response for mod help and hope to get back to applicants ASAP! Thank you all for your understanding!

Feel Free to Comment

If you have any questions about anything going on in the game or need an update on a question that might have gotten lost between the cracks please use this space to ask down below!

Always remember to follow us on Plurk for game updates at [plurk.com profile] folkie!


Character Relationship Meme
It's that time of month to organize your thoughts and compile some plans with each other! This is an optional meme for players to get to know each other and draft up some ideas and keep up to speed on what everyone else is doing!

Copy and paste the following form and reply to the appropriate section down below. Have fun!


Invitations
Our game is invite-only which means in order to make a reserve or apply, you must have an invite from a current player in-game! Players are not required to give invites. Invites are open between the 22nd of every month and close on the 5th of the following month when applications open. All invites expire after that application cycle ends.

Players are limited to one invite per round unless they have purchased an additional invite slot through Spoons. If using an additional invite slot, please make sure to link to your purchase in your invite form.

Invites allow new players to reserve/apply to the game. Invites do not guarantee that new players will get in. Some invites may not be accepted and we will message players on a case-by-case basis if necessary.

Players only require an invite for their first application. Once they are a player in the game, they can apply as more characters at a later date. If a player drops completely from the game, they will require a new invite to get back in.

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW A PLAYER IN OUR GAME BUT ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE SEND OUR MOD JOURNAL A PM WITH YOUR HANDLE AND CONTACT INFORMATION FOR A REQUEST TO AN INVITE.

Fill out the following form and place it down below in the appropriate section.



CALENDAR
Calendar dates may be subject to change due to real world circumstances. Please follow us on our plurk to keep up to date! We will update this section accordingly. Remember to set your journal to EST as we will always pay attention to timestamps.

Sunny 🔪 Omori (Familiar)

[personal profile] oversleep 2022-08-22 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Ashu.
Player Pronouns: They/She.
Player Contact: [plurk.com profile] justaways, ashu#2687 — feel free to add or message me!
Preferred Tag Style: Action only please.
Monthly Pacing: I'm feral and tag at unhinged times because I phone tag quite a bit, but usually I'll be in your inboxes every night with some lacking on the weekends when I work.
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: I honestly want everything all the time without limits. I'm here to write dark content mercilessly, so please let me be aware of any topics that make you uncomfortable. There is a warning an opt out post for such a thing.
Permissions: Permissions | Opt Out. Sunny himself struggles with suicidal ideas and thoughts of self harm along with other heavy subjects, so please take a gander at his opt out for more detail.

Character Name: Sunny.
Character Age: 16.
Character Species: Average boring human.
Character Details: He is very small and feeble for his age (5'1" / 155cm) and has pale skin. Sunny's ethnicity is Japanese but he is an American citizen.
Character Summary: He's just a sad lad trying to vibe and is generally shy / afraid of everything. Weird kid with no social interaction skills and disconnects from reality quite often to go to his little dream world. Occasionally comes with some surprise ~*sass*~ and fanart of the people he cares about.
Character Role: Familiar, but aiming to be a Myth soon.
Character Role Deets: Sunny has a half-form and a full form of a black cat or no features at all.
Character Living Quarters: A tree house in Leshy by himself.
Character Schools: no school, school is bad......
Day to Day Life: ya boy is a hikikomori so he rarely leaves his house.......so um.... drawing, sleeping, daydreaming, looking wistfully out the window, playing yakety sax with the dark entity that haunts him everyday, yelling at nothing, talking to himself, the usual...
Current Mindset/Health: He was on quite a dark path until recently with the help and encouragement from his CR, he is gradually considering making more of his life. Still not quite there, though. His health is better as he is eating better.

Recent Developments:
- recognized that a lot of people care about him here
- confronting some of his fears via August event post; not sure what the outcome will be
- making cute friends left and right, finding adults that are actually kewl...
- slowly coming out of his cage and doing (not) fine.. he's reaching out to people a lot more recently

Goals For Your Character:
- conquer all of his fears
- reveal and overcome the trauma he has blocked out
- learn some self defense / combat
- interact with society again?????
- learn to forgive himself
- get a cute bf or gf
- go to school again
- play the violin again

Problems With Your Character: He's afraid of a lot of things and suffers from anxiety/depression. Sunny hallucinates quite often and most of the time they are unsettling things attached to his fears and trauma (drowning, heights, spider, etc..) Mostly, these fears manifest into Something, a dark being that can interact with Sunny but nobody else. Sunny also has an alter ego, a 12 year old version of himself, named Omori that serves as a mental protector of sorts. (Spoiler. Highlight to read.)The more Sunny tries to confront his trauma and resist Omori from taking over his personality, the more Omori will encourage him to end his life. Other than that, he is extremely stubborn and can accidentally be very tactless / savage since he sucks at talking to people.

Wanted CR: I feel like my post is too long now I'm just gonna say everything like a boring person.
Unwanted CR: Gimmie it all.
Open/Closed to New CR: GIMMIE IT ALL.
