Final 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!

IMPORTANT:
Please check out our mod announcement in regards to the end of Chapter 1 of Deerington here.









IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS MONTH


Check out this month's Prelude to catch up on what the setting will be for the month! New characters will receive any items/newspaper from the month's Prelude.

Please read our Story So Far post that will be available to all characters ICly. This is a good point of reference for anyone who wants to dig into the meaty core of the game's story.

Requirement for all new characters: Please make sure to comment with your character to the AC Page by the 20th. We will assume you've withdrawn your acceptance if we don't see your character on the AC page by then. This would be seen as idling out and you would have to wait for one application cycle before reapplying.

AC WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR MAY but if you are interested in Early Access we strongly recommend commenting to the AC page.

Our current plotting post is live! Please go check it out and jump right on in as soon as you're accepted!

Content Warnings: Please make sure to check out our player-maintained content warnings excel sheet. We strongly encourage all players to fill this out.


STARTER INFO

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!


Story So Far provides a general timeline of events that have occurred in-game for the first two years, just about. You do not need to read all of this to get into the game, but it may help with characters who are investigative.

Social Media in Deerington: Social Media is a large part of how characters interact in Deerington. They use deerFeed, deerlyBeloved and Staggr. Read up more on how each of these apps function in the game and get your pages set up!

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!

Hello! Blythe here with my third character - Renarin Kholin from The Stormlight Archive! *Spoilers Ahead!*

Renarin is a cinnamon roll that was always relegated to the sidelines due to his poor health and quiet demeanor. He's not good with crowds even though he's a Prince and prefers to be on his own. Often, he can be found playing with a little metal box off on the sidelines or talking to Glys, his mistspren or spirit. He's a newly found Knight Radiant of the Order of Truthwatcher and has the Surge of Progression and Illumination. In other words, he can heal people and create illusions except his illusions are sort of corrupted due to his 'corrupted' nature. He can also see the future but has epileptic-like fits when that happens. He's from a conservative culture where men are soldiers and women are academics. The fact that he knows how to read and write makes him an outcast in his culture so he'll be shocked to see that men here are actually flaunting their reading and writing skills - how brave of them - on the network! Women also wear a sleeve on their left hand (called a safe hand) and it's considered obscene for them not to cover up their hand so expect him to quietly look away blushing when he encounters an 'uncovered' woman. Talk about culture shock!

For more info you can hit up his INFO and Permissions POST!

You're welcome to hit me up @ [plurk.com profile] Blythee or Discord: Blythe#1806 too!

Hello Deerington! I'm Frog, brand new to the game, just in time for the ending. Luckily the guy I'm bringing is totally used to the end of the world.

I'm playing Castiel from Supernatural, but not the stiff in the trench coat. Well, not exactly. He used to be, but then he got on track towards a bad ending, lost his angel powers, and decided to be a drugged up hippie instead (don't call him that, or do; he hates it). Needless to say, this guy comes with a whole boatload of content warnings, so please check those out and avoid him if there's anything potentially triggery there.

There was a version of this Cas here already, I believe! So if your character had cr with him, feel free to fourth wall this one. His canon is wacky, so he's used to it. If you have cr with the OU version of Castiel, I mean they both have the same face, but this one looks tired and stoned and like he forgot what bathing is, so how recognizable he actually is is debatable lol.

Speaking of which, HI SUPERNATURAL CAST. 8) I apologize in general for this dude being the way he is, but please come at me anyway.

Anyone who needs to can PM this journal to chat w/me, or I joined the Deer group discord if you want to grab me that way, though I'm v shy so I apologize also for my introverted butt.

Looking forward to playing with you all!!

HELLO AND WELCOME!! I'm Ashlee and I play Sam Winchester, endverse edition, who is... for the next x months going to be 14-years-old because of a spell they'd used to de-age him back to before he was possessed by the devil (so have fun with that one, buddy). He has no knowledge of anything ever and Cas can just... have fun dealing with a sassy, oblivious teenaged Winchester.

I also play Charlie Kelly, who I see you've already sniffed out, and I'm terrified at the possibilities of these two being up to something already. I'm so ready for this CR, LMFAO.

(oh and I also play Diarmuid the monk, Woody the ragdoll cowboy, and the Ps4 Spider-Man, I should probably say who else I play doy)

kdhjld ARE YOU ALSO CHARLIE KELLY i should've... like checked... I guess... but just the shenanigans he and Cas could get up to, I HAD to tag lolol. Sorry you'll be getting double cr with me!! :,)

Thank you for the welcome!!! hype to be here.

We absolutely need to make Dean's life hell, 100%.

AND I LOVE DOUBLE CR, I love CR across all my characters!! Never hesitate to tag me an uncomfortable amount, LMFAO. Peter Parker and Cas were buddies before, too, so expect a dumb tag from him at some point on your network post. And Sam of course, because you look... way scruffier than the other Castiel. :|a

[personal profile] foolintherain 2021-05-09 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. ♥

Okay if you're sure! But i love spider-man so please do give me peter also lol. Cas is probably getting dragged to Dean's basement soon so he can meet baby!Sam in person if you'd rather! or network if that's more fun.

he is in fact much scruffier than OU!Castiel in every sense of the word. :,) poor sam will find that out

Oh, I will totally wait for Dean to introduce Cas to lil' Sam, then! That sounds absolutely wonderful. :'D #blessed to have all these beautiful castmates, I'll have to stalk your thread with Deano, haha!

[personal profile] foolintherain 2021-05-09 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yesss same! So excited to app into a big cast and play with everyone!

omg you don't have to stalk it LOL (covers face). Assuming there aren't any unexpected twists in this thread, I'll make a top level on endverse!Dean's log post for cabin shenanigans and PM you once it's up, if that's cool?

Hi Frog! I'm Alex and I play OU Dean here, and ah, endverse!Cas! I'm so excited to see him here. I look forward to throwing this sad idiot your way. (This Dean's canon point is fresh out of Hell, so, you know. Good times to be had by all.)

Welcome to the (end)game!

"I will not pick up a second character," I said, "I have enough to do with the wizard, I do not miss my prickly disaster of a researcher that much--"

BUT NO HERE I AM AGAIN. This is Rona ([plurk.com profile] ochrona) with Amelia from Infinity Train! She's a smart, callous old lady, and she's spent about half her life in a jamjar already. It's a magical train that forces you to work through your traumas and character flaws, which are measured by a glowing number in the palm of your hand.

Amelia's number is so long it spans all the way up to her throat.

She is not a very nice lady! She is a villain fresh on the path of redemption and doesn't really remember how empathy works. Her core trauma is all about grief and loss, so BOY has she entered the game at an interesting moment.

My existing character, Ozpin RWBY, has a lot going on this endgame, so I will be very scarce with Amelia until the sandbox months. But feel free to hit me up on plurk if you want a thread.

Happy endgame!

hi deerington! this is floral, back with a blast from the past! today i am offering you robin from stranger things. she was here for a little while last summer but i never managed to do a full character arc with her, so now she is back! she is not a crau and will not remember her previous stay in deerington, for the sake of that sweet sweet fresh start.

if you are not canon-familiar, robin is is a very bored alt girl from 1980's hawkins, indiana. she likes languages, band, ~cinema~, and investigating stuff! she'll be poking around the town trying to figure out what the hell is going on. as always, you can reach me at [plurk.com profile] moonlanding or floral#1370 @ discord for plotting!

and now enjoy your government-issued meme:

I told myself that I wasn't gonna do the thing, that no one would be interested... and I did the thing. Hi, this is Basil-- player of a certain tiny farmboy-- bringing in my most disastrous muse of all time... Felicia from Fire Emblem: Fates.

She was here for a brief time in 2018 before I had to take a break with her for OOC reasons. I'm not sure if anyone here had CR with her, so I'm operating on a case by case basis regarding previous memories. Mostly, she doesn't remember much anything... and she's such a spazzy disaster that it's not going to be much of a bother to her.

For those who are not canon familiar, Felicia is a very loyal bodyguard maid to the protagonist of this particular game and, despite being a maid, she is terrible at all tasks that are remotely domestic. She's a far better combatant than she is cook, but she is as sweet as cotton candy and remains upbeat about everything.

For plotting, etc, hit me up on Plurk at [plurk.com profile] woodrift. I don't have any major plans yet, but this girl has always done best with plotting on the fly.

o/

So this is CC coming back with Rose Tyler from Doctor Who! I have no idea who's here outside of the DW/TW cast which I kept up with from 10-mun!

2020 was a helluva thing, huh? XDDD ahhhhhh......... So I was here in end of 2019 but what I thought was an ulcer, turned into an allergic reaction to anesthesia, which led to a coma, which led to a ventilator, which led to I needed surgery but my heart had to recover from ventilator/coma, so basically: 2020 sucked for everyone. TLDR, had a lung removed, but I feel 10 years younger?!?! SOMEHOW?!?!? But that's totes awesome! So I'm back, with a vengeance and looking forward to Chapter 2!!!

Feel free to add me at [plurk.com profile] silverwolfcc But don't feel obligated, I'm a total pain in the ass, and I will hit things up without needing prompting, no worries!

You can also opt-out no questions asked on my HMD!

HI EVERYONE!
