ATP&EMP

ᛗ

Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's second ATP & EMP Meme! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- EVENT/TDM: September 1st
- RESERVES: September 12th
- APPS: September 16th - 23rd

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Current players may extend their invites, and if you don't know anyone in the game, the mod will make a decision (note that this does not guarantee an invite). Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either— only to reserve and app.

Use the forms below to show us those pretty white jaws!

ᛗ PLAYER
Name: Ray
Contact: wildtrapinch

Actually I'm a current player, but hi I'm thinking of apping this guy.....

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Sidurgu Orl
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Brief Info:

A grumpy single dad who lost his co-parent, he's trying his best. The player character may or may not be a new co-parent, but acts like an enabler of kiddie bad behaviors, and has even dumped a kid on him for a while like he's a free babysitter. He really is trying his best despite not having signed up for this, and fighting bad people helps him calm down.

Sid is very much an edgelord-level vigilante who believes in beating the hell out of the rich and powerful to clean up society. That's what he was taught to do after he suffered under a lot of traumatic situations as a kid and saved by a knight-turned-edgelord vigilante, but honestly he didn't need much convincing after the things he witnessed. He's grumpy, cynical of people and their motivations, and super tired of shenanigans, but doesn't struggle much against the sillier ones solely because his kid(s) beat it out of him.

Oh and he's draconic. Not an actual dragon, but he looks like one! Most people in his city didn't like him because of that. They're fixing their attitudes against dragons, but it's slow-going. (If this has changed in Endwalker and Dawntrail, I have no idea since I stopped playing at 5.3.)

Vessel Type & General ideas: Token, specifically Bloodwright. Look I know that theme-wise Shadowbinder would suit him really well since he's a Dark Knight edgelord but abilities-wise Bloodwright is better... Strength is pain, strength is sacrifice, etc.

I feel as if we all need to be rooting for this dragon-man in this economy.

[obsidien]

i think he needs it tbh. raising teenagers is hard, especially when you still miss your husbando

[oftesserae]

Please give this dragonman the vacation he deserves!

[obsidien]

i wont be able to do that because i'm a terrible person who loves suffering. it's the clamp child in me

[oftesserae]

smh listen compared to raising a teen, sleepy hell can be a spa day

[obsidien]

we shall see! last month was mild, and i wanna do more messed-up things soon

sleepy hell vs a half-dragon moody teen, we'll see which is worse for sid

[sorte]

He seems really interesting! And quite a few teens to grump after here as well.

[obsidien]

alas he's not the type to adopt more kids-- he actually doesn't like them, there were just extenuating circumstances that led to him adopting a kid, and he's lucky that's she's super mature.

[sorte]

He's doomed. The kids are gonna be all over him now.

[obsidien]

child distribution system instead of cat distribution system... he will be mad

[omertosa]

sid, my beloved edgelord...

[obsidien]

frantic nodding

poster boy of an edgelord who has realized it's time to adult

[pointedlook]

oh my goodness, SID

i feel like these two could potentially get along with their whole "i am suffering silliness from people around me but i let them have their whimsy bc i am powerless to stop them" energy

regardless i'll be HERE because the DRK quests made me bawl my eyes out and Sid really won me over with his grouchy but caring nature and his hysterical dislike of moogles

(also i'm mostly caught up on canon so lmk if you would prefer to avoid spoilers!)

[obsidien]

idm spoilers, since i don't have any intention of reinstalling FFXIV :pensive:

but yes i'm definitely down for arthur and sid somehow, SOMEHOW, making a connection over being the linefaces of their little group of misfits

[pointedlook]

valid, wanted to check! endwalker introduced a whole ass dragon (Vrtra) running a city in thavnair, who estinien introduces to aymeric because...well, Vrtra *is* a head of state. so the whole dragon thing is getting better in increments!

heck yes, im hype to have them be so long-suffering in their little rational corner

[obsidien]

sid is not the most rational but! hey he's better than most edgelords
