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 document will 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

Monthly Plotting

Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!

Name: Zoki, she/her
Contact info: [personal profile] kharamagic, zokiblu #5949, or PM either journal

Character: Seto Kaiba (Orange)
About them: From Yu-Gi-Oh. Intense gamer, dragon admirer, tech visionary, and perpetual second-placer.
Plans: Last month's events have sent him on a journey of trying to find a purpose (because he's not happy just living, geez what a weirdo). The first thing he's trying is going back to video game design: he'll be making some purchases for new equipment to supplement the available VR games with his own, and supporting Yugi in designing a new one. If there are any other devs, they're welcome to join.

He also might aggressively hit the gym/let fight club take a few swings at him, because he needs to get better at self defense.
CR wanted: More friends and rivals? He's...awkward and retreated into his shell a little, but he's still learning how to people!
Things to avoid: I'm fine with everything.

---

Character: Mami Tomoe (Purple)([personal profile] magicurls)
About them: From Puella Magi Madoka Magica. A powerful but lonely magical girl, she's also a supreme chef and professional worrywart.
Plans: She'll be helping prepare the new food items Senku brought, continuing to learn relaxation techniques to teach, and primarily doing healing duty on the upcoming mission. She's learned she can't be spending her mana on combat when the injuries pile up. Her main duty is to keep everyone safe, and she wants to be better at it!
CR wanted: I'm hoping to dive a little deeper with her, to have her eventually realize that it's okay to have problems, or not be perfect or have all the answers....just do her best, and it'll be okay.
Things to avoid: Nothing of note!

Koumyou Sanzo | Saiyuki

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2020-12-31 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Koumyou Sanzo (BLUE TEAM)

About them: From Saiyuki, a Buddhist high priest whose last memory on his world is his own death to save his adopted son's life. He's a total troll, and loves to act the fool. "I can't tell if you're a genius or a moron" is something that's been said to him more than a few times in canon. You can get more info about him on his journal, including his app!

Plans: The crazy-intense and fast CR that is his relationship with Devero is still going full steam ahead. (It's easily over a thousand comments just between those two, now.)

What this means for anyone else: Koumyou has officially given up on staying completely distant from everyone. It is now much more possible to get meaningful stuff with him, without even having to find him in the Feelings Spa first.

He'll still be reserved and aloof under the friendliness, you can't flick that off like a light switch... but it's now a lot easier to get past that layer of his personality without him deliberately nailing up boards to keep everyone out.

Also he's been moved to 3-C as of this upcoming platform.

CR wanted: All of it! I still want to do goofy shit with him, too, and he won't have lost that magic touch of "I give zero shits what random people think of me". (He's just more likely to let people leave that "random people" category, now.)

Things to avoid: I can't think of anything but I'm not shy about speaking up before something's a problem, if anything comes up!

Alleyana Tabris | Dragon Age

[personal profile] inquisitor_lavellan 2020-12-31 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Alleyana Tabris (RED TEAM)

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!

Name: Matt
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] atrypical, Discord: Matt#6266
Character: Yosuke Otoha [RED TEAM)
About them: Karas. Batman, but make it Japanese, magic, and edgier. Otoha's a former yakuza enforcer turned city guardian. It's hard to break through his shell and he is physiologically incapable of feeling pain.
Plans: idk I'm just getting started. It will partly depend on the world info but Otoha's largely going to be getting used to Passenger life. He will probably be injured at some point, possibly multiple times, because that's just his life. He's going to spar whoever he can find because he will be bored easily.

Also some of that injuring will probably be in meal prep, because he doesn't know how to cook very well and also can't feel pain so like... whoops.
CR wanted: Healers, people who are good at breaking down the shells of grumpy people, people to spar with, anyone with a similar mafia/yakuza background...
Things to avoid: Karas is pretty trigger-heavy so it's more likely that I'll be avoiding things.

All I can offer is someone who will be completely insensitive about her pain if you would like some negative CR. xD

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2020-12-31 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Otoha is always up for sparring but he won't take it easy on Seto.

Mami I'm sorry about this constantly-injured moron.

Character: Senku Ishigami (ORANGE TEAM)

About them: Senku is from the anime/manga Dr. STONE. He has a great many roles, but most notably he is a huge walking encyclopedia for scientific knowledge in the realms of any and all hard sciences as he's been studying them since he was a small child. At home he's chief of his village, a general for the Kingdom of Science, the only doctor/surgeon and in charge of the Science Team/Spartan Crafting Club.

Since boarding the train, Senku has found himself in the kitchen a lot more than he thought he would, applying his food chemistry knowledge to good use. At stops he's constantly foraging while doing other chores and always has at least one project in the works. He's socially awkward and cannot do small talk to save his life, but he is all up in those science facts - at least until he gets to know you.

Thanks to the events of December, he's a member of the Science Team on board, as well as the White Team, as a doctor, despite the fact he has not learned any healing magic.


Plans: This month, through pure happenstance and good timing - It is Senku's birthday! He is turning 3739, or 20 if you want to know how old he is physically. Gen is planning him a party.

He will be making chocolate and cocoa powder with the beans he picked up on the last mission. Yes, that is one of the ingredients this time, but if Senku doesn't make his, presumably after this month the ingredients will be gone otherwise.

He is finishing up the bearskin blankets for his friends, and can be caught sewing quite a bit more often than one would think. He has extra materials, it's quite possible he'll make the offer open for requests to keep himself busy.

Presumably getting off the train, he'll be taking it upon himself to organize foraging, just like he volunteered at the big meeting.

CR wanted: Anything and everything, give it all to me. He's got a lot going on, lots of opportunities there, he's also a semi-social person these days. He does not read social cues well, despite his best efforts.

Things to avoid: Not with me, but to stay in Senku's good graces, it is wise not to grab, embrace or touch him. Most people can get away with something of a tug to the hand/wrist/forearm that surprises him, but crowding him or touching him is a huge no go for him. It's the fastest way to negative CR.

[personal profile] bakegarasu 2020-12-31 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
If he's in the kitchen despite not being assigned meal prep he may run into Otoha just utterly failing at meal prep. It'd be an easyish way for them to encounter each other if they don't before that!

Character: Demyx (ORANGE TEAM)

About them: Demyx is from the end of Kingdom Hearts III, when he was running around doing things for Ienzo and the Light Side. Demyx is in a precarious position, as he's technically working both sides of the battle, and he's not to sure who his allies are. His castmates make him nervous that he's going to be in trouble one way or another.

He arrived on the train in December and has been adopted by Della. He's openly deceiving people. His chosen occupation is 'musician'. When he's alone, he can be caught looking very serious, like he's lost in thought.

Plans: He's still very new and hasn't been up to much yet. He's seen the music car - loves that, and this month he'll definitely check out the spa. I'm also planning on having him have a jam session with Dyme.

CR wanted: Anything and everything! I'm looking forward to having him meet new people and work at making friends. He had a blast at the winter carnival.


Things to avoid: I'm good with anything here, and so is Demyx. He has no idea if anything would upset him, but he doesn't think so.

Name: Absol
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] darkestabsol

Character: Masumi Sera (PURPLE TEAM)
About them: She's from Detective Conan, which is that detective anime that won't end. She's one of several high school detectives, is neck deep in the spoilers, and cares a lot about her family. She's also got a number of secrets that she will not talk about, even on the train.
Plans: She's going to be trying to spend some time in the training gym before the train inevitably drops another mission on everyone. She got pretty badly hurt during the last one, and doesn't want that to happen again.

Since some of the help she received on the last mission involved showing her the very basics of how to use a sword, she'll also be trying to follow up on that in the training gym, as a backup method of self defense.
CR wanted: Not really, but perhaps people she can spar with?
Things to avoid: Nope!
reluctantjinrou: (Default)

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2020-12-31 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Natsuno Yuuki/Koide (RED TEAM)

About them: Natsuno is from the anime Shiki. He always tells people his name is Yuuki, but as his name on the roster is Natsuno Koide, well there's not much getting around that, that's unfortunately, his legal name. He's from a modern-ish world, being that Shiki takes place in 1993, some things are still novel to him. He was an ordinary high school student until vampires moved to town and began killing people. The first to notice what was going on, he was also the first hunter and so he needed to die. He came back as a jinrou a subspecies of vampire, with admittedly, less weaknesses.

He's been grumpy and miserable his whole life and he's absolutely appalled to be on this train. He has made two friends, but mostly just skulks about, watching horror films in the cinema car.

Plans: None really, but I need to get him out there. He definitely did the least of mine in December, and I need to rectify that.

CR wanted: I will take anything. In November, he was called out as being a moody teenager. That's so true.

Things to avoid: Not for me, but as a content warning, aside from all the death in Shiki, he ended it by killing himself and taking someone with him.

[personal profile] comefadeaway 2020-12-31 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Yoite (BLUE TEAM)

About them: Yoite is from the manga Nabari no Ou. He's a 16-year old ninja who's initially an assassin but he gave that up to protect his one and only friend in the end. He uses a forbidden technique called 'Kira' to use his qi to destroy others while destroying himself.

He has met new people on the train, and had a horrible time on the last mission. He's settling in okay.

It should be noted that Yoite is deaf. His vision is not perfect and although it hasn't happened yet, sometimes he goes completely blind as well. He has no sense of taste, and his sense of touch is patchy where all the qi burns are on his body. He's also a walking content warning for child abuse.


Plans: I don't have much going on with him this month. He's had two people explain to him how gender is a spectrum and so he's working through that. Yoite is intersex and canonically uncomfortable with both male and female designations, never actually deciding on what it is he is, or he likes to be called. He is presumed male by most people and so he rolls with that. He's considering a 'they' pronoun, but is still undecided.

CR wanted: I would like Yoite to have some experiences and come out of his shell. He's still opting to sit around and be out of people's way and that's not going to do at all.

Things to avoid: I'm fine with anything. As I said, questions about his past all lead down a road to child abuse, as he hasn't known anything else, really.

He can definitely help, he's a survivalist expert, he knows how to cook.

You know, Alley is a former enforcer for a nasty cartel in Denerim, back when she was openly a Tabris. (They're who fucked her hands up, when she tried to get out of the game.) And now she's the person who keeps having to save her stupid world from its stupid stupid problems.

If they can avoid wanting to kick each other's teeth in, they might get along swimmingly.

Possibly! I admit I played a little bit of DA1 but didn't get very far so I'm a bit canonblind.

(I poked at info about DAI because of Krem for obvious reasons.)

Otoha doesn't hide his enforcer past, he'll openly admit it because he doesn't see a problem with it or have really any regrets, so it's entirely likely that it'll come up!

Contact info: [plurk.com profile] cyromew, Pms are also fine, Discord: Cyromew#4440

Character: Silvia Leafe | Au (Orange)
About them: From a Yu-gi-oh au fanfic. As such Silvia is into a variety of games, including but not limited to duel monsters. Before arriving here she recently moved from the Chicago area to Japan. A bit on the shy side, she finds it daunting to have been separated from her bff and support system but she's working on it! She adores cosplay but can get a bit to invested in the roles that come with them.
Plans: Nothing super specific, I'd like to see her getting out there and making some more friends, coming more out of her shell. Silvia feels a little at a loss with why she's here, and what she's meant to learn from this, which wasn't shifted by her conversation with the train. She's still super worried about her family, and needs to get more out of her own head.

She does appreciate the interactions she's had both with the rest of the Yu-gi-oh cast and some of the other passengers but sometimes she feels like she's imposing on them, not that she's fessed up to this concern openly.

Oh! I'd also like to find a reason to start getting her artifact into the mix. The Ocular Talisman is an ornate hand chain she keeps with her but she hasn't realized it's true power.

CR wanted: All of it /o/.
Things to avoid: I don't have anything in mind.

I always figured Tabris had to have been doing something with the martial skills taught by their dead mother, and Denerim is full of fuckery. (Like, canonotically, she had to butcher her way free of an entire estate full of human guards, because a noble decided to come kidnap an entire wedding party for his own "party". She got out of town after that, instead of getting executed or becoming the Grey Warden.)

Anyway she's not super thrilled about the shit she's done but she's also not... gonna pretend to herself she never broke kneecaps for money, either.

(Also Krem is a perfectly valid reason to look into DAI tbh.)

Character: Siebren de Kuiper (Sigma) (Orange Team)
About them: Siebren is a shield tank from Overwatch, one of Blizzard's many games with very little lore, which is Fun 8D He's an astrophysicist with gravity powers and a hell of a lot of psychological issues to go with it. He's good in a fight, but rather dislikes violence; he much prefers science, and he enjoys working with people. He's a fairly friendly human who's hiding a whole lot of trauma under the surface, and he'd honestly rather not think about that latter part.
Plans: He's working on a few projects, but honestly I'm looking forward to seeing what this mission will bring. Long-term plans include getting close enough to people to let them in on his secrets, but that's still a ways into the future.
CR wanted: GIVE ME EVERYTHING. He likes kids, he gets along with most people, and he's snarky as hell when the situation calls for it. I'm up for just about anything, so let's do it.
Things to avoid: If you're going to get into mind-reading or anything that could potentially trigger him, I'd prefer to discuss it beforehand, or I'll let you know if a tag goes too far in that direction. Otherwise, I personally am up for whatever.

Otoha can snark back. He's much more up for violence but isn't going to fault someone for not being willing or able to fight unless there's a good reason they should be fighting. \o/
