Check-in + Character Claims (May)

[amanimods]

CHECK-IN
While Amani doesn't have an Activity Check proper, it'd still be nice to know how everyone is doing!

Going forward, check-ins + character claims will be more or less the same thing for players already in the game! To know who has already claimed what characters, please check the previous post.

The purpose of this post is to:
★ Give a small summary of what your character has been up to
★ General plans/ideas you have
★ See what characters are present and welcome new people coming into the game!

TEMPLATE
<b>Player Name</b>: Pudding <b>Character Name</b>: Pudding McGee <b>Canon</b>: Haotoful Boyfriend <b>Character Journal</b>: <user name="puddingmcgee"> <b>Summary</b>: E.g., "Pudding McGee has been settling in and learning about the setting with the new simulated pigeons."

★ If you JOINED IN LATE APRIL and don't have a lot to summarize, that's totally fine! Giving a game plan instead or ideas of what you'd like/hope to do is fine as well! Basically, it's just a way for me to count heads and see who's still interested in hanging around.

CHARACTER CLAIMS
Welcome to Amani! We're happy you're here.

The basic guide to claiming a new character is:
★ Copy and paste the claim form to the comments below.
★ Fill out the subject line with: Character | Canon (CRAU if applicable)
★ Amani does not do claim challenges. Character claims submitted will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Make sure you check before placing a character claim!
★ Once your character is claimed, please head on over to the taken page to make it official official!

★ MOD NOTE: If you claim a character this month, you do not have to check-in until next month! TEMPLATE

Just a basic overview is fine! this can also be told through the art of interpretive memes or vines <b>Game Plan</b>: How will your character adjust to being Amani and the knowledge that they are dead? How will they forge bonds with others and play nice? This is basically a summary of what your hopes for your time in the game are! <b>Interested in</b>: here's a place to list the tropes, kinks, etc. specifically that you'd like to play out! you can also mention things you'd rather avoid, if you'd like <b>Anything else?</b>: Anything extra you'd like to link or, as we all know, the good ol meme section.

MOD NOTES
Just a few things from Pudding to point out for the upcoming month!

★ The F.A.Q. has been updated but there are still some minor things to check on and go over! I'm getting there!

★ A reminder that players can add their own tags to the network and log communities! So, have at it! Tag all the things!

★ As the game grows, I now need a little help. If you're interested, please let me know either via DM on Discord, hitting up the mod contact, etc.! I won't have a formal request page or anything like that but know I would certainly appreciate a helping set of hands and some people have expressed interest in that.

★ A reminder that the flora & fauna submission mechanic has been updated! While originally new creatures / plants needed to have a sexy stamp for approval, fuck that. Just link your character claim (or check-in) comment if you want to start adding to it. Thank you for the native wyverns and chocobos, now give me more cool creatures.

★ The calendar for May is up and ready! It now includes:

» Character birthdays! That way, everyone will know when everyone's birthday is and there is no escaping the celebration.
» Rotating monthly memes! ATP/Enable Me, Love Meme, etc. etc.
» WEATHER!

★ We are almost at player cap! We're currently at 38/40 players without clearing out from the last month yet so, you know, if you have friends interested now is the time to encourage them to claim! Due to real life constraints and personal preference, I will not be extending this cap.

Invited by: Owen
Contact: dragoon1940, PM
Other characters, if any: Ingrid Galatea ([Bad username or unknown identity: luinknight),]); this is my second character claim for the round.

CHARACTER
Character Name: Smoke Eater
Canon: OC from White Wolf's World of Darkness; specifically Werewolf: The Apocalypse
Canon Point: n/a
Age: Characters must be Technically three, but he's a wolf - he's an adult in body and mind (equivalent to roughly 18-19 or early 20s).

Link to History: Link


PEACEKEEPER PROFILE

Personality: Smoke Eater is rather taciturn, all things considered. He is relatively reserved and does not speak at length or eloquently unless he is telling a story or giving a performance. He has a temper, although he does his best to keep it in check. Many humans will find him blunt, though, as he does not couch his opinions in niceties or sugar-coat things. He will be direct and to the point and prefers to rely more on instinct over reason. Smoke Eater does have a soft spot for youngsters, though, and can be playful when the mood strikes - even if he is usually more grim or dour than anything else. His sense of humor does not match a human's and some human humor or concepts simply confuse him (admittedly, this is partially because he doesn't want to understand humanity all that much).

Game Plan: He's gonna be a little freaked out; death is something he accepts, but this is not what he thought happened after death. The technology aspect is going to bother him a lot and it's going to take some doing to get him to trust that. Plus all the humans, which he will be wary of.

Interested in: Boy just needs affection, honestly.

Anything else?: Nah.
