June OOC Introduction Post




WELCOME TO DEERINGTON!









Hello new players, and hello old players with new faces! We're thrilled to have you in the game and we hope your time here is horrifically wonderful! Please feel free to use this space to introduce yourselves to one another and show off your new characters! Below is some useful information for all new players of the game and how you can expect the game to function! You certainly do not need to read it in order to plunge into the game, but we felt it might prove useful for some people and help you adjust to how the game works quicker!









EVENTS AND MEMES


We have an IC Prelude Post made by our NPC, the Dog Keeper, in the DeerFeed community. This functions as an edition of the Deerington Post that all characters are ICly capable of receiving. It will give hints and suggestions to what you can expect from the upcoming event without giving full details, and it also clarifies things like the weather in Deerington or other important IC details for the month, such as severe impacts on characters or the environment. Prelude Posts are made at the first of every month.

We hold one event per month. Many of our events have a lasting impact on characters that will sometimes carry over a month or two after the original posting. We always clarify what parts of these events may carry over, and even as a new player, you may be able to access certain elements from events posted before you were in game! Events can be found in the [community profile] deerington community and carry over events will be linked in the new event posts for reference.

We provide content warnings for each of our events. Each event typically has a specific horror focus, and some events may be more specific than others. Please make sure to read the content warnings closely. All of our events are specifically designed so players can feel comfortable opting out of any of the events without completely missing out on what's going on. Never feel you have to engage with any part of an event that makes you uncomfortable!

With every event we post a plotting post so that everyone can dig in on what they want to plan for the event. This is posted at the same time as the event.

We have a CR meme that is posted every other month. This encourages people to make long-term plans with each other as well as catch up on what characters might be going through in the game!

Our Test Drive Meme is posted on the 25th of every month. All TDM events can be used in game canon! You can also use direct TDM posts as AC! 10 points for a top-level (new characters only), 3 points per log comment, 1 point per network comment (all players).

Our Activity Check always begins on the first and closes on the fifth. Please remember to comment to this post so you can submit your AC! One of our players has made a helpful tracker for those who may be interested!



USEFUL LINKS AND INFORMATION

While we have provided you with your essential links for joining the game, we have compiled a useful list of links you might be interested in for further immersion of the game!

The Dog Keeper: The Dog Keeper is probably the most interactive and consistent of the NPCs in our game. You can actively contact and communicate with the Dog Keeper, but don't always expect an immediate response! Heck, sometimes he won't respond at all. You can find further information about the Dog Keeper here and more about his dogs here.

The Deerly Beloved App: This was a "dating application" made for the game back in the 2019 February Event. The application is a bit of a hacking-app that will break itself into a character's phone and potentially use fourth wall information to make up a silly Tinder-style profile. Feel free to put this on your journal for your character and have fun with it! It is 100% optional.

The Bestiary: This is a good reference to the beasts your character may be able to interact with inside of the game. Some of them are very situational or location based, but we have provided the monsters that might routinely be seen throughout the game. Feel free to dig right into playing around with them!

Game Calendar: Most of our posts are consistently made the same dates every month, such as our AC and our applications, but we make sure to post when game-events can be expected! Most game events are made between the 11th to the 15th. We try to update the calendar at least one week before the end of each month.

Death Certificates: This will help you keep track of your character's deaths in game as well as any symptoms they might be experiencing. Most new characters won't have to worry about this but heck, what do we know? Maybe you'll want to get to dying sooner than most!


We hope our information has been helpful! As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have, and we hope you have fun!

GREAT. I am also looking forward to the not-so-soft things too. Deerington gonna be Deer...

ALSO not going to lie I almost forgot that Sora "rewrote" everyone dying with his jesus power so Riku doesn't know he never stepped in front of Sora to take that huge storm of heartless for him but SORA DOES KNOW. That will be fun for them to figure out LMAO

And I'd love to keep it, we can either handwave a conclusion or continue it, whatever you prefer.

Hi Mich! So great to meet you!!

Yeeees, it's gonna be horrible since it feels like I'm piling on a load of bad stuff onto her already depressing life, but I'm hoping to make her grow wiser, and mentally tougher thanks to these settings.

Either way, it's gonna be fun torturing this poor baby. Especially with Sora around her <3

AAAAHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR MEETING! SHE'S GONNA LOVE SEEING SORA AGAIN!! I can't wait to start tagging you <333

HI TRACE AND WELCOME

I'm Carly and I play Wynonna Earp here from her self-titled show on SYFY/Space Channel, technically based on the comic of the same name but definitely not a direct adaptation by any means! anyhoo, Wynonna and Chloe have definitely become friendly so clearly that means she needs to meet Chloe's Laura Palmer at some point

Hello! My name is Fox, and I'm arriving a bit fashionably late to this intro party. I bring you Loki Odinson (Laufeyson), brother of Thor, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


If you are not familiar with Loki, he is a prince of Asgard, the God of Mischief, and until very recently was one of the major antagonists in the MCU. While he is not an inherently evil character, he definitely acts purely out of his own self interest and lust for power, and that tends to land him on the opposite side of the MCU heroes. He's a troublemaker with a smart mouth, a powerful sorcerer skilled with illusion and shape-shifting abilities, and he has a bit of a vengeance problem.

So basically, I'm very excited about playing with every single one of you.

edit note: Loki's canon point is post-Ragnarok and pre-Infinity War, so he may be carrying around a certain object but has not yet faced Thanos. He's trying very hard to be less of a "bad guy", but we'll see how long that lasts.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for plotting things or even just to chat. I'm frequently on plurk at [plurk.com profile] fantomfox and am occasionally on Discord at fantomfox#2153. My disclaimer is that I'm taking grad school classes over the summer, so I probably will lag on tags sometimes. Please let me know if this ever becomes an issue. (Backtags are love. ♥)

It is very nice to meet you all! Thank you for the welcome!
