Howdy! (thematically appropriate greeting, go!)

It's Seb again, with a minor apology and a new character. I've been dealing with a Surprise Arthritis Flare for the past couple of weeks which has taken up my time with new hospital appointments and not being able to walk very well - rest assured I am still here and absolutely down for new plots, just struggling a little with the anxiety of missing stuff and not knowing if I'm pushing in on stuff or not! It's totally me, I just desperately don't want to annoy anybody by being over-eager djkfdjkh. Jim's a host this week and if anybody wants anything with him, kick me wherever you want to talk!!

As for new characters, I'm dragging in Hana Song from Overwatch, because I've always loved her and I haven't had the chance to properly play her before. She's a MEKA pilot with the Korean army - essentially only fighting robots that are trying to destroy the city, for reasons the Overwatch lore hasn't deigned to inform us yet. I'm kinda hoping with the release of OW2 we're actually going to get more lore for the universe and I'll be able to canon update her later down the road at some point but as of right now, she's coming directly post-the comic where she was recruited by Overwatch to work with them.

On the surface, she's peppy, bright and cocky about her skills in both piloting and gaming, both of which are very warranted - she was recruited because she was one of the world champions in a game called Mecha Guardian V, but she dabbles in pretty much all kinds of games and almost definitely has a Stardew Valley equivalent programmed into her mech that she plays on her downtime. Under the surface of all of that, though, she's a pretty damaged person who was thrust into a position of holding up an entire country's morale with just her and a few friends and my god, the pressure is killing her. It might do her some good to get away from that for a while.

Hi there! I've never been very good at introducing myself, but here goes: I'm Sebastian, please call me Seb (or Stella works too!), they/them and I think I've played with some of you before - if I haven't, it's great to meet you!! :D

I'm 28, in the UK (although I might be taking a trip to the US in October-November money and circumstances permitting, as a fair advance warning - I'll have computer access and my buddy I'm staying with is an old rp friend, so she totally gets it) and you'll probably notice I tend to keep pretty odd hours.

This is Jim Kirk, as I'm sure at least some of you will know via pop culture or RP osmosis, but if not - he's the captain of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek, he's kind of an ass sometimes but has a heart of gold. Very much your stereotypical action hero protagonist in a lot of ways, but I think he's a lot of fun and tends to get along well with most people. He's from specifically the alternate timeline created in the Star Trek movies (Star Trek, Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Trek: Beyond) but is aware in-character of the existence of another timeline, so he might not be too baffled by the Discovery/SNW cast.

I'm always open to be messaged - my discord and dropbox are the best ways to contact me! I'm always set to busy on discord so please don't let that dissuade you from messaging :) if I'm asleep I'll get to it when I get up!

Anyway, uh. Enough about me?? I'm up for anything!

→ Hi! Thanks for joining the game!

→ I think most people are going to wait until closer to the game's official opening (Jan 15th) to post OOC intros. In the meantime, we're partying on discord. The link to the discord is in the player page and welcome message.

→ The IC/OOC event is happening now. (Link in the welcome message or peek at the IC community.) It's friend locked because we're super mysterious and cool like that.

→ It does count toward AC. January is a short month due to the late game start and so if you want your AC prizes, you may wanna get a jump on that.

→ HINT: YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA SPEND YOUR AC UNTIL YOU SEE THE PLOT HAPPENING JANUARY 29TH. Normally AC rewards and where the campus goes won't matter, but there is a little extra something planned you can use AC toward on the Jan 29th plot.

→ Normally I'd give a plot hint for upcoming weeks, but that's gunna be your hint.

→ Let me know if you have questions!
