• As per our game-wide poll, we will be holding an application round in October and in November! After that, apps will resume their bi-monthly schedule. The game calendar has now been updated with the dates for this.
• Please note: you need a reserve to apply, so please plan accordingly! Reservation dates can also be found on the game calendar and coincide with the TDM.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC. This means you must have 20 comments between at least 2 and at most 4 threads and one memory regain listed for the current month's AC period. Your reserve will not be accepted until you supply the requested AC!

Loud noises. Penelo is the daughter of an army family that knew Zack. Possibly similar connection to Light?

She is...also dating Freya/Fang so CR is probably mandatory. C:

Edited 2017-10-11 05:08 (UTC)

XD possibly? She's the first in her fam to join the military but she could meet people through Zack that way since Mich and I are apping them as bffs!

Oh gosh :D yes!

Hi Silas I'm Draconic, Kasen Ibaraki's player: do you play any other characters here? I swear I have heard your "name" before.

1. Katherine (Kasen's AU name) has a bit of weakness for alcohol and tends to get drunk when she's really stressed or trying to cope with Retrospect shit ~~Yes its a terrible coping mechanism she has issues~~, so if Lightning works at some bar she goes to they might know each other? She sort of needs someone to help her cope with the trauma of her waning sense of humanity.

Also, just a heads up...Yeah no I'll leave that to Dalrint.

Edited 2017-10-11 06:31 (UTC)

i play this blond right here! :D

LIGHT WILL KNOW WHEN TO CUT HER OFF FYI but she's a good listener and will help if she can!

/driveby fingerguns

Eeeeeeeeeee.

Er.

Hi. Yes please bring Lightning.

Of course I will! I'll try for October, and if not if we have another app period for next month she'll def be apped then

Regularly has to kick Kamui out of her bar because he's only 19? He keeps coming back and ordering drinks anyway.

OMFG PLEASE she will add virgin drinks to the menu because of him if he's that tenacious.

i’d totally love friend cr omg.... eren’s an air force brat but he’s super supportive with people following their dreams!!!!

She can always use more friends! And those with military connections would be even more appreciated since they would know what she's talking about.

Heeeeeeeeeey

What kind of CR would you like? They could go a lot of ways here. I think I'd prefer to not start at 'friends already,' since getting there's the fun part in my opinion. Acquaintances? Positive or negative leaning?

Freya's five years younger so I think through school's out. She's working currently as a firefighter. If nothing else, she could be an occasional bargoer?

Starting as not friends sounds fine by me! She doesn't stray too far from the bar most of the time since it's her business, but everyone is welcome there. Firefighters are people she admires, so Freya might get a free drink or so on occasion because dangerous profession.

Oh hi. I'm Sam, I play Lucy (this usually angry pink thing) and Amelia (Almedha, actual dragon mom except not literally right now).

Lucy's currently AUed as Luna/Lumina's sister along with Katherine/Kasen, for bonus potential complications. Lucy works weird hours at a warehouse or doing odd jobs like installing sale banners or idk Christmas decorations on businesses, the latter of which she hates because she hates fun.

Extra bonus: apparently Lucy's English VA sounds distressingly like Ali Hillis.

:|a We could have it where Light might have hired Lucy at some point to help with banners? She might be a do it yourself kind of person, but professionals have a better eye.

.... OMFG SHE DOES o_o

Could be a bar regular; Theo here's an actor but whenever he's just going around town he probably hits up bars while incognito so he can properly sit and grump instead of acting all friendly and sparkly for his job.

And the great thing about being a barowner/bouncer is that when anyone tries to harass him, she can literally throw them out of the bar. Leave her regulars alone, people.

saunters in fashionably late by like a full week whoops

so HEY THERE i always try to collect all the military characters together as much as I can hahaha because James/Bucky here is an army brat who lives on base! idk when Olivia would have left, but if she was at Fort McCoy in the past 3 years or so, she and Bucky could very well have met/known each other!
