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.
Other characters, if any: put their journal here or n/a. if applying two characters in one round, this would be the place to mention that!

CHARACTER
Character Name: Your character's name in either Western or Eastern order
Canon: Name of the canon you're playing them from
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: Aerith Gainsborough
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Remake
Canon Point: Post-Game
Age: 23

Link to History: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Aerith_Gainsborough#Remake_continuity

PEACEKEEPER PROFILE

Personality: When you first meet Aerith you can be forgiven for thinking 'oh, this chick is totally the demure princess character', like, she's a cute little florist flirting with the main hero and wearing a pink dress and hair ribbon. She's just going to be sweet and cute and demure the whole time, sighing whistfully over things she can't change.

And then Aertih says fuck that and takes you on a whirlwind adventure where you realise she's an absolute gremlin, hitting bad guys with chairs, climbing on the rooftops, offering potentially dangerous mercenaries dates as payment for protecting her and throwing herself into trying to alter the plot of the story as it's happening.

Aerith is a bubbly, chaotic, optimistic and independent young woman. She knows how to protect herself in the wilderness and in the slums, even if she would prefer not to have to. She likes to crack jokes and try to lighten the mood when Cloud gets grumpy. Her teasing and playful demeanour is not through lack of awareness of lack of care, quite the contrary, Aerith is a very compassionate and gentle person. She is quite self-sacrificing (literally going willing with the people who kept her captive as a child to ensure Marlene was safe) and has her eyes set on what the uncertain future will bring.

Game Plan: Jokes on you, assuming I have a plan.

Luckily, Aerith has the benefit of her bodyguard here (Cloud!) and her boyfriend (Zack!) and uh, her childhood friend (Sephiroth!). She's got a lot of things she needs to make sure happens between them and a lot of mischief to get up to. Hey, DTF, how does she get pictures of Cloud in that Wall Market dress? She's going to spend her time being the gremlin she 100% is.

And honestly, she's going to have fun playing with the local flowers and encouraging them to grow as much as she can.
