July OOC Intro / CR meme!






Welcome Lost Souls! And also, welcome to this round's group of new players!

Want to jump right in? This month's Substories are posted here!. As for what's been going on...

Just like the TDM set up, Jigokucho is in recovery mode after the dissipation of a curse that befell the city. It was a full-on horror apocalypse.

The curse is gone, there are rumors stirring that the turf war has ended, and the Kappa are all going back down to work on building… something. It’s all pretty hush-hush, but anyone that’s not in the Department can ask freely about it. The Enma has bigger things to be concerned with already anyway (namely the newly named cause of the curse: Haniyasu).

So what does that mean for the next two months? Well, between whatever it is being cooked up in the Underground and everything else, the theme of these two months is Tanabata! How that celebration takes shape in a place like Jigokucho will be revealed as the month goes on, so stay tuned to find out more!

My shameful confession is I don’t actually know much about the Old Republic. I never really got into KOTOR and I haven’t read any of the books. I had to look up what Pazaak was!

I think Jaika is in general going to be confused by humans here though, since most of the humans here came from Earth, which he has obviously never heard of. Humans live all OVER the place! Why are all these humans from the same planet that’s apparently so backwater they haven’t even HEARD of aliens???

dont worry about pazaak, i am the reigning royal of random cardgames in RPGs. one goddamn triple triad npc away from fighting everyone in xiv i s2g-

LISTEN EARTH MIGHT BE DUMB AND BACKWATER BUT THEYVE BEEN EAGERLY ANTICIPATING ALIENS. well ok tama personally has. he reads a lot of early 20s science fiction about venus being inhabited and he was already spoiled on the future being lame there, so he'd be delighted to learn anything he can about Space Culture

and a little confused that jedi sound a lil like samurai but listen we'll cross that bridge when we get there

As long as we're talking about 20s sci-fi Fun fact: The other character I was considering for this game is actually a Martian princess!

"In the Course of the Crimson Kings" (SM Stirling) is actually some 2010s Sci-Fi but it's very clearly an homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs and other classic authors. It shows a vision of Mars as a dying world where a decadent ancient civilization struggles to survive as more and more of the world freezes every year. Then a bunch of Earthlings showed up in rocket ships with their passion and optimism and they made a mess of everything. It's great!

ANYWAY.

Jaika will probably be willing to talk about what aliens are like but it'll take some doing to put it in a framework that makes any sense when he's from an ENTIRELY different galaxy from Earth that still somehow has humans in it. Should be fun!
