Behold, an opportunity to gather.
Welcome to Somnia's third 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:

Dates to note are as follows:
- EVENT/TDM: December 1stAn 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.
- RESERVES: December 12th
- APPS: December 19th - 25th

α CHARACTER
Name: Julian Bashir |
Canon: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Brief Info: Julian is a doctor in Starfleet in the post-scarcity idealistic space future, and chief medical officer of Deep Space Nine. Due to its position near a wormhole to another galactic quadrant, the space station is at the crossroads of lots of conflict and a brewing war that is causing Julian to Hawkeye Pierce it up and doctor during wartime more and more.
While his idealism has been fraying, he's generally glib but positive, adventurous (with a penchant for spycraft and historic battles in the holodeck), sometimes idealistic to the point of naivete, empathetic, and has a deep commitment to his patients. However, he can also be extremely arrogant due his intelligence and brilliance at medicine, accidentally condescending, and overly talkative.
He's also a bit neurotic because he was born developmentally delayed and his parents got him illegally genetically engineered to be smarter, faster, stronger - even taller. This is illegal in the Federation, in part because Genetic Augments have started genocidal wars in the past. The fact they wanted to change him in every way because he didn't measure up in their eyes means he has a lot of insecurities and feels he has a shameful secret of being an unnatural freak.
Vessel Type & General ideas: I love the idea of Julian trying to be a doctor in a horror game with eldritch health effects and barely any supplies or fancy Starfleet equipment. He'd definitely try to keep others on their feet as best as he can and even if he can be...a lot sometimes, it's easy to get in people's good graces when you doctor them up when they need it.
I'd also like the play with the idea of the bodily changes feeding into his sense of alienation and unnatural-ness, and trying to feel human despite it. I'm leaning towards Bloodwright or Seraph, due to having abilities that let them heal others.
To complicate things, I'd probably take him from his time in a Dominion (the series' bad guys) internment camp, where he was a prisoner of war. At first he'd suspect the game is some kind of simulation to interrogate him.

α CHARACTER
Name: Abaddon |
Canon: Haunted Hotel
Brief Info: Abaddon, the Cobra King, King of Shrimp, High Prince of the Black Realm, is an ancient demon trapped in the body of a little boy from the 1700s. When he was 10,000 he tried to possess the child and the child's priest father trapped him in his current body. Living to the present day, he was taken in by a family called the Freelings, who are trying to make a living from a haunted hotel, the Undervale, that was built in the area the little boy lived in over time. An event in his canon also caused him to experience a time loop for considerably more time than his original 10,200ish years.
While Abaddon is a destructive handful - violent, grandiose, dramatic, and chaotic - he's come to genuinely care for the Freelings; especially the youngest child Esther, who considers Abaddon her best friend. He frequently joins in their escapades, both supernatural and mundane. (Whether or not he's helpful or detrimental when he does is generally 50/50.)
Despite his chaotic nature, he's capable of loyalties and alliances (he once had an alliance with a woodland creature to fight Mothman), accustomed to wielding infernal power, and generally un-phased by The Horrors. (Although he'd need help reaching high cabinets.)
Vessel Type & General ideas: No clue what Vessel type yet. Daemon maybe to lean into his demon thing? Drake because breathing fire and dangling on surfaces is definitely in his wheelhouse? One of the more magic-ey ones so he can teach people to turn someone's own shadow against them? Whatever he goes with he'll thrive on getting dark powers back again.
But even though he can be fairly capable (especially when given infernal power), he'll need help with things due to his size. And while he'd be good at weathering some of the horror of the setting because he's from hell, the more he grows fond of others, the more any of their suffering will bother him.
He's used to the souls of the damned being punished, instead of random people who still have the capacity to earn a fate other than hell.

They both seem like a lot of fun (and I think you make everyone fun tbh). I'm partial to Bashir because I'd love to see some more space sci-fi people like WOW, THIS IS FUCKIN PREHISTORIC but I'll gladly tackle whoever you go for.

Harryβs SUCH a biased and uh flawed (amnesiac) historian. His history of the world a MESS.
