amaniooc | Check-in + Character Claims (June)

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

★ If you JOINED IN LATE MAY 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

PLAYER
Name: Your name/handle
Invited by: The name of who invited you
Contact: plurk, discord, pm, etc.

Canon Point: The episode, chapter, book, etc. that your character is coming from
Age: Characters must be at least 16 y/o mentally and physically. 
Link to History: For canon characters, this can be a wiki link. For OCs, this can be a separate journal entry or wherever you have their history. or just give me the cliff notes because, really, it's less for me and more for other people to get an idea of the character

CRAU: are they coming from somewhere else? if this isn't applicable, you may omit this section!
AU Clarification: Explain to us a little bit about how they're different due to their experiences in the previous game/setting they were in

Personality: Tell us about your character's personality! Just a basic overview is fine! this can also be told through the art of interpretive memes or vines

Game Plan: 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!
Interested in: 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

Anything else?: 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!

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

★ If you're interested in helping out with moderator duties, please let me know either via DM on Discord, hitting up the mod contact, etc.! Some people have already assisted (thanks mochi for the check-in sheet!) but obviously I'm still running a bit behind in some ways like, uh. The calendar! And this post! Oops.

★ 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 June is up and ready! It now includes:

no escaping the celebration

please let me know via DM on Discord

★ We have two slots open for new players! We're currently at 38/40 players according to who has responded to the taken and/or drop page. Please, make sure you're using the taken page when you claim so that way I can keep an accurate tally since this is a capped gamebox.

CHARACTER
Character Name: Glenn Sparks
Canon: original character
Canon Point: Inter-galaxy travels, hooo! A few hundred years after leaving his homeworld. :)
Age: 270 chronologically, physically 19, like 23-ish mentally.

Link to History: So here's the cliffnotes version since I apparently was an idiot and didn't write it down anywhere I can immediately find.

Glenn is a product of human experimentation. "What if we take this weird space rock that has alien life on it, take a piece of that life, and incubate a human with it?!" You get an absolute mess of a person. Raised by the person who founded the project, Glenn is a soft-hearted (mostly) pacifist with a strong love of nature and life as a concept. Bullied a lot as a child and with a mother who didn't take care of his emotional needs, Glenn would have been worse off if he hadn't met his neighbor, Clara, when they were both still in diapers. She helped temper his traumatic years down by being by his side until, when Glenn's super strength awoke at the beach, she was one of around 100 casualties of a flood. Glenn was 18 at the time, her 19.

Devoid of the love of his entire life, he more or less became a shell of himself and dutifully took care of his mother in ways that she could not care for him as a child until her passing. Aside from needs in order to survive, he became a straight-up shut-in and was deeply afraid of people and coming into contact with them thanks to the pathogen-like nature of his very DNA.

He has control of it now, decades later. Although he still mourns Clara, time has finally started to mend his wounds and he is slowly reclaiming himself after all of that trauma.

PEACEKEEPER PROFILE

Personality: Cats sharing a food bowl. Pet Artist.
Okay, those were the only clips I could find. Glenn is a soft and kind-hearted person who happens to just prefer to avoid people or self-sabotage to avoid getting close to people for fear of hurting them. Still mentally immature, it's often hard for him to stay completely calm when under certain social pressures.

Glenn is also an agonophile - often reacting with arousal to entering certain kinds of fighting or conflict situations, though he's quick to pretend that it doesn't affect him. His alien instincts have slightly tweaked his personality to be much more open to such things as measures of affection, as his mostly-human mind was strongly against such matters.

He likes making and giving gifts to loved ones, and is fiercely (almost blindly) loyal if his trust is earned. Ultimately, he's a person that likes to be of use to others and happy to fulfill desires, even if they confuse him. Unfortunately, he tends to take this to its logical extremes, and, in favor of not losing affection, is all the more likely to ignore his own limits in some cases.

Game Plan: He'll be remarkably calm for being dead, and very likely to play nice rather than not at all or start up drama. At worst, he'll play up his worst traits to be left alone by someone he'd otherwise get attached to. To reiterate, he likes to be of use, and sexual use is not off the table. He's also great for more guro-oriented kinks so long as he trusts his partner not to hurt him beyond his limits. He's curious about a lot of things and is more open to risky behavior since his body recovers quickly (however poorly.)

Hentai-logic tentacles, anyone? He's also suitable as a sparring partner and is likely to be in those areas just because the alien in him likes to exert itself. By the way, his junk also has tentacles where pubic hair should be, so that can be fun. They're a drooly mess and prehensile. Pardon him, they have a mind of their own. He can also modify his own genitals however he wants, but the tentacle pubes stay (they're the actual method of which his alien heritage uses to reproduce. Fun stuff! Good thing this place makes him sterile.) He also goes into rut on nights of the new moon.

Otherwise, he's likely to get his hands on some paper or turn in stamps to get his phone back so he can draw on it. If anyone wants their portrait drawn.

He can be a little reticent at the start, but can be quick to warm up. He's nothing if not a fast learner. Expect him to try to analyze everyone.

Interested in: Again, tentacle sex, and hentai logic to go with it! My kinks are really open, and this can go many different ways. I just missed this sad puppy and want to see how many friends he can make. <3
