January Information and CR Meme!
We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.
IC Month
This month is the month of Jelly. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is “No-one is useless in these worlds who lightens the burdens of another.”
This means: Tagging into other characters’ top levels or posts will earn you two bonus points during January and February.
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during February AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC! As a note: Though there is no thread length minimum we will be keeping an eye on thread lengths to make sure that people are committing to the threads they tag into.
The ingredient of the month is avocado. Recipes are here. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.
This month’s chore assignments are:
Blue: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
Purple: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Red: Meal Preparation
Orange: Laundry
Important Dates
This month’s event will be a world event on the 11th of January. (An info and plotting post will go up on Thursday the 7th)
The TDM will be posted on the 17th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and the 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 31st of January.
Other Info
~ On missions and other events we often have the opportunity to interact with NPCs to gather some extra information, learn more about the world and generally make connections with the people who inhabit the world the Voidtreckers are currently helping. In order to help expand how many people who can interact with NPCs and free up some mod time during missions we are inviting players to volunteer as NPC controllers. For more information and to sign up if you wish please go here!
~ Secondly, we are going to put up a document for assumed behaviours and actions in missions. This means, in broad strokes, what characters can expect to be happening before, during and after missions that doesn’t need to be written out every time and can be assumed to be happening even if players (i.e of healer characters or team leads) are busy. The general structure of a mission. Do teams have meetings? Covering what, generally? Are characters asked to take certain supplies or stay in groups? Are medically trained characters manning the triage and medical carriages? How about when the train isn’t on-world? What items and supplies are in general use?
This post will not be to record your individual characters’ actions during missions, but to establish what preparations are occurring and general ‘recurring actions’, so that character efforts will not go unnoticed during missions. A post for putting together this documentwill go up later today and be overseen by Elle!mod is now up, here!.
~ A quick reminder about the network on the train. The ICP system is a simple one, with the ability for characters to use voice or video to talk to other on the train. It’s a fancy tannoy system with no way for posts to be saved to be looked at or responded to later. It has no ability to be filtered to one person- the most privacy that can be found is through sending the message to one carriage or one cabin. If you want to limit who can hear/see your post please use [From: X CARRIAGE. TO: Y CARRIAGE]. This means that things discussed on the ICP openly are likely to be overheard by other characters. It also means other people can join in your conversations though, as ever you should take care to ask everyone involved in a thread before threadjacking to make sure it is alright! More information about the ICP’s can be found here
There is the ability to use the SCA’s to speak to ‘All’, to your ‘team’ and to individuals. This function is only available on missions. For more information on the SCA please go here

Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!
Alleyana Tabris | Dragon Age
About them: From Dragon Age, Alley is a Tabris (a potential protagonist origin of the first game) who never met Duncan, and never became the Grey Warden. Instead, after butchering her way free of the Arl's estate, she ran off to join the Dalish in the Free Marches.
Fast forward to the start of Inquisition, and she was a full-fledged member of Clan Lavellan, including bearing a full face tattoo in the pattern of Elgar'nan (it's gone now). She was a natural choice for the Clan to pick to send to the Conclave to spy on the humans, with her experience with them and her history of carving her way free if she had to.
The rest is Dragon Age Inquisition history.
You can get more info about her on her journal, including her app!
Plans: I... need to do things with Alley! I'm sorry, I completely dropped the ball on her first month in the gaaaaaame. Koumyou took over my god damned brain with his sudden ability to do stuff that isn't just goofy shit. So!
Alleyana's first experiences with phantom limb pain are going to crop up with her missing arm, and she's going to be... a disaster to deal with when in pain (more pain than usual, anyway). Sorry, that's just how it is.
She frequently can't sleep outside of the 6 hour window the train knocks her out for, and when she does, she often has nightmares and will probably wake the whole 3-A cabin up at some point with the screaming, if anyone wants to play that shit out. If left to her own devices, she'll just quickly leave the cabin and go do other shit.
Her one remaining hand doesn't work worth a shit, there will be a lot of dropping things and fumbling for things and swearing colorfully in a lot of languages.
She is, in general, pretty physically disabled by what a flaming wreck her body is, and I write her accordingly.
CR wanted: All of it!
Things to avoid: If any healers decide to jump on her I will just ask that no instant solutions be found for her problems. I made her in large part in response to how fantasy heroes / video game protagonists / etc never seem to get lasting damage. I don't particularly want her fixed up, but can allow slow improvements if she gets good enough CR with a healer to let them work on her.
ICly it'll be easy to justify no one insta-fixing her because she will fight anyone over it.
I can't think of anything else, but I'm not shy about speaking up before something's a problem, if anything comes up!
