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!

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.

G'raha Tia | FFXIV | Familiar (for now)
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: I default to brackets generally but I can roll with whatever
Monthly Pacing: Typical pace generally. I've been slow this past week cramming some last minute grinding in before FFXIV's next patch tomorrow and that will continue for this week as I shovel all the new patch content down my face, but I'll continue backtagging once I'm through that and hopefully get back on top of things in short order
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Not interested in non-con or banging underage characters
Permissions: Permissions and character info here
Character Name: G'raha Tia/the Crystal Exarch
Character Age: ~124
Character Species: Miqo'te/Mystel, aka he was a catboy even before he got here
Character Details: After the previously mentioned catboy thing, the biggest thing about him is that he's partially made of blue crystal: his entire right arm, about half his chest, most of his neck, and a little bit creeping up onto his face. He also has unnaturally bright red eyes and his hair is going white at the ends.
Character Summary: G'raha has been through three apocalypses at this point and come through it all just absolutely enamored with the tenacity and empathy of mankind. Prior to Folkmore, he was the ruler of a city small enough for him to still personally know all its residents, and old enough that if those residents were born in said city, he's known them since they were babies. Prior to all the apocalypses, though, he was a history post-grad who loved stories of adventure and wanted nothing more than to have a grand adventure himself, and the longer he's away from his responsibilities, the more that part of him starts to resurface.
Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Since he's already a catboy, he didn't get any physical signs of his role. But in the next month or two, I'm planning on giving him a small canon update to when he and his city are declared terrible villains by an enemy of theirs and use that to also change him over to a myth, I think I'll have more fun with that.
Character Living Quarters: A treehouse in Leshy
Character Schools: G'raha is a self-directed learner and would make a terrible teacher so he is not formally enrolled in any of the schools, but he can often be found raiding their libraries for reading material.
Day to Day Life: August has seen him mostly sticking to his cabin at Camp Camelot, but he should be back to normal in September: wandering around a lot exploring and talking to people, and spending a lot of time in libraries.
Current Mindset/Health: With the weather clearing up, G'raha will regain his energy, but he's not super thrilled about the discovery that now he is the oversized sunlight battery and his storage capacity is a lot lower than the Crystal Tower's. Not much he can do about it right now other than hope the weather stays nice, but he's not looking forward to winter. Also not thrilled about his younger self having been running around all through August.
Recent Developments: He has been keeping his true identity as G'raha Tia a secret and going exclusively by the Crystal Exarch instead partially out of habit and partially on the off chance one of the Scions appears (sorry Era), but after August's event, that cover's kind of blown. That is something he and I are both going to kind of deal with as it comes, and I'm down for threads addressing it. He's definitely not going to be immediately and completely switching to going by G'raha again, but he's going to have to loosen up about keeping it so absolutely secret.
Goals For Your Character: I want G'raha to be a reliable pillar of the community and also to do a ship with him eventually. It'll take some doing to get him thinking of dating as even a possibility, but I want it.
Problems With Your Character: The lack of sunlight in August has him knocked on his ass for right now, and going into September, he'll have some wrestling with his identity to do thanks to his younger self.
Wanted CR: Fellow nerds, folks he can grandpa at, heroes he can admire, people who will invite him on adventures
Unwanted CR: I'm down for whatever
Open/Closed to New CR: always open to new CR
